To be fair, American Standard Code for Information Interchange was only meant to display English, which doesn’t care about the language your name is from.

And that one needs a continuation of the story and lore, unlike GTA…

Half Life 3 not coming out was a joke before Duke Nukem Forever

Or use them on your Steam Deck or equivalent in the train.

I think you need to specify your European country, because small French villages have awful infrastructure while their cities have amazing infrastructure.

But even here in the Netherlands, if I’d live in a village and I wanted to go to another village further away I’d need to take the train to the nearest city and then take another train to said village. This often takes much longer than by car. Also, while basic shopping needs like a supermarket, greengrocer and some basic repair shops might be there (maybe just the supermarket) you don’t have access to… Anything else really, and need to take the car there, too. Sadly, necessary non-commercial facilities like hospitals and higher education are also missing from most villages here.

I do backend development in PHP and Ruby, and AI sometimes has a suggestion that helps me out but is often completely, utterly useless, especially at actually coding the thing from scratch.

Your first three sum up to:

• Italian food but worse
• Mexican food but worse
• Food that’s probably better in most other places

I think OP is set on those in the future, but otherwise good recommendations IG

Really? Because Weibo is much like Twitter or Instagram in China; everybody and their grandma is on it, it has everything from memes to politicians posting their thoughts. It seems very public to me, albeit if you have an account (which just about everyone there does)

What did you mean by isolated?

You can do a quick search before you do this.

I, on the other hand, hope something will push them to pay their programmers 25 an hour

I can tell you, most of South East Asia operates on Instagram and Facebook. And Chinese people’s obsession with Weibo (like Mastodon) and Douyin (Chinese TikTok) are also on their whole own level!

Reddit, what Lemmy aims to replace, is very much Western.

See, even your metaphor contains US-only brands.

Also, what’t up with Americans speaking in brands?
Why can’t it be a local shop a few streets away from the supermarket?

I feel it’s very dependent on the person wether someone swears, shouts or grunts when getting hurt.

Why is Independent Workers capitalised but salaried workers isn’t?
