I like the theory of the CV, but that thing is a shit stain rather than a valuable experience

You are using ASCII? Weak. True website surfers use raw character values, like The Matrix in 1999.

Just ditch WhatsApp. Don't give in to social pressure to install malware on your phone

Yep. This was the image we had from the Russians. A bit odd and drunk but reasonable people. All gone

How much time would a black hole bomb take to go off?

This is going to kill the content creation industry. Imagine a torrent client that has a built in neural network training module. You are now allowed to access any IP protected content and inspect it on your home TV for dataset building. What the neural network does is irrelevant, it can have a couple of layers and be trained with a residual amount of the CPU load. Happy torrenting :)

If institutions are hosting their instance themselves, then they are the verifying authority. It should not be that hard to have a .gov domain for a public institution.

I don't think Spain has a president. It is a kingdom

Edit: I stand corrected. They call the leaders of goverments presidents.

Delete Disney+ Account (help.disneyplus.com)
 

I want to delete my Disney plus account but their app and website force some ad for their latest subscription deal. My account settings are not accessible anywhere. When I am logged in and refresh the page, I can briefly see my avatar in the top right corner before the ad comes up. According to Disney's instructions, I need to use that to access my account configuration and delete it.

Is this a denial of my right to erasure granted by the GDPR? Should I report this to some authority? If yes, who is that authority?

Beginner's calf pain (feddit.org)
 

Hi! I transitioned to barefoot shoes and I can get by without issues in my daily walks. I am not ready to run on barefoot shoes yet, so I got the thinnest Altras I could find and off I went.

Probably I overdid it on the first runs, but I got some pain on the outer part of my calf. Not the full calf, just the outer part. I believe this is the part that powers the toes. That pain may be normal, but I wonder if my forefoot striking technique is wrong. Is this supposed to happen?

TL;DR: Beginner's pain in outer calf. Is it supposed to happen or is my forefoot striking technique wrong?

Alternatives to Google Wallet (feddit.org)
 

Hi! What alternatives are there to Google Wallet? I am only looking for a secure app that allows me to pay with my phone instead of a card, I do not really care about the rest of functionality

lemmy.pt only shows old posts (lemmy.pt)
 

Hi!

I am trying to access portugal@lemmy.pt. For some reason, I can only read old posts. I also tried to comment on one of the older posts and it did not get through to the instance.

Is there anything wrong with the Portuguese instance? Or is it feddit.org? Or maybe is it me? Help please, I am new to lemmy and the Fediverse!
