In theory, An expat is someone sent abroad on short/mid-term mission while working for an employer, while a migrant is someone moving abroad to find a job and sometimes to start a new life.

This means that, if let's say if a Mining company in Ghana sends someone to New-York to be the "US sales director" that person would be an an expat While an American opening an hotel in Ghana would be an immigrant.

But indeed, in many cases : Expat = European/North-American, Immigrant = From somewhere else

IMO, where lemmy is right now. Niche communities are counter productive. Especially as there is often 3 times the same niche communities on 3 different instances.

Try to talk about your niche content in a larger community. Talk about Oshi no ko in a generic manga/anime community. Try to talk about Kult RPG in a generic rpg community. Talk about french politics in a general France/Europe community.

Today we have generic community with like 10 posts a day and under them a bunch of niches with a post per week. Uf you move these posts to the general community above you now get 15 posts a day.

Content is what drags users, not yet another niche community.

Lemmy is still on the verge of usability, there is few very engaged user who make a large fraction of the content. Keeping it alive, but if in 6 month they have less time some /c will deperish

Family eating at shooters (and the whole hooters/twin peaks concept)

Need to take the car for a 500m trip because there is no sidewalk and a highway to cross

How Europe did actually vote

Sauce Considering that Harris would more or less match renew Europe + Green + S&D, and that Trump would match the huge blue block at the right, I don't think we're doing much better than our American friends

Paraglider pilot here, so I landed among the cow my fair share of times.

Cows are curious but shy, if you walk slowly they might come to have a look, if they get too close, something like clapping your hands is enough to have them running away. However, if the farmer didn't took the veals the yet, they can be pretty agressive to protect their kids, in that case forgot what I said about "clapping your hand" and stay away from the herd. Note also that bull are less shy than cow.

Getting people to pay for digital media in the era of mass piracy (Spotify, Deezer, Netflix)

Starting a taxi company by ignoring frauding all the regulation related to taxi operation, ( Uber)

Tons of pseudo science like energy therapy which are not much different from straight up witchcraft.

A thought also for real estate developer who buy land in high-flood-risk area, and still manage to sell the houses, these ones also should be in jail

In flight?

1. Masks would fall down

2. The crew will start an emergency descent to a breathable altitude

3. The crew will call a may day and reroute to the nearest suitable airport

High interest rate,

Competition starts to offer decent electric car

People who can afford a fancy car already got one

Musk behaves like a fascists

Not a surprise

It's a dual edged sword, everybody can look for vulnerability, it may-help some pirates, but it also means that everyone can volunteer to fix-it. To my understanding, professional security auditor concluded that (at least for big free projects) open-source is safer than closed source because more people fix bugs than exploit them

Remember that

• Unless your a professional communicator, talking to media is always dangerous. They can totally change what you say using "editing", and loaded question can quickly trap you. There is a reason why there is so many job in communication and media assistant, you don't want to let people talk unsupervised

• Honestly, if only a sub reddit keeps a political movement alive, it isn't a political movement

Who said Facebook is fine ? Threads was illegal in the EU due to privacy concern.

Quick reminder that "Europe" is a mosaic of countries, and that there is a huge difference between let's say, Portugal, Austria and Latvia.

I don't really think there is a country which would be so liberal regarding marriage that you could get married by Elvis or a Machine on short notice amd drunk just to get laid (on the other hand, most European cultures stopped caring about marriage, and donxt need it to get laid or have kids)

How likely is she to be elected there in the next decade ? Would be quite ironic to have the officer who removed the today to welcome her in a decade

What the fuck ? Quoi la baise ?

Looks like that at best France won't have a majority, at worst we'll have Ms Le Pen as a Prime minister (France is a semi presidential regime, and if the President doesn't have the majority, most of the power shifts toward the prime minister, with a president only relevant for international policy)

Pretty sure that if you're Russian expressing your hate to Putin would at best put you in trouble, and at worst lead to a slow and painful death in a labour camp.

Don't under-estimate how privileged we are in the West to express our hate for Biden, Macron, Trudeau, Von der Leyen and who ever is the British PM it's changes so fast that I stopped to follow. Without any legal repercussion

Please do-it

Casse toi pauvre con

Bitte, die Tür is offen

Me voy a beber champagne si se occure

A French environmentalists organization which was disbanded for being "eco terrorists" for Conservative use the ground symbol as a logo.

All of that, for a traffic jam. Imagine turning 4 lanes in a train track carrying 500 person every 5 min in both directions and one lane in a bike lane. It's still 20 lanes for car, but you suddenly have decent public transport which would be safer and faster than that gigantic traffic jam

With experience, one learn that players will need 5 minutes to destroy 5hours of game prep. So indeed, sticky notes and bullet points do wonder.

Also, somehow, modern games do wonder at reducing the amount of game prep

Not sure while everyone suddently pretends it's not acceptable.

I am absolutely not keen to let troops go on the ground. However, these the military options need to be openly discussed without any taboo. Not only it tells Russia If you don't find an agreement with Ukraine, things will escalate, but in a democracy, you need to have parliament and politicians in the discussions, we talk about kids dying for Kyiv. Is it worth-it ? I don't know, which is why we need to have this discussion.
