Midsummer dinner
  • I have to ask, what is it that makes the Heineken Danish? The beer originated in Amsterdam.

    Og glædelig midsommer!

    Google Just Revealed When Apple Will Officially Adopt RCS: Northern Hemisphere Fall 2024
  • As it is now the word “standard” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Google themselves aren’t even done with the specs so it’s not trivial to support all functions when they are not described. So there’s plenty of problems for 3rd party. A bit of info here.

    Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024
  • Well.. for now at least. Who’s to say that won’t be the next thing on their list. They do make a pretty penny on the play store as is, and could improve that if they banned side-loading. And let’s be honest, side-loading is probably a niche thing still.

    What irritates you the most with your own language?
  • This is the same in Danish, but weirdly not in Swedish.

    We say four-seventy for 74, and hundred-four-seventy for 174. But the swedes does it like the English. Don’t know about Norwegian though. Maybe OP can provide me with some new knowledge.

    Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage
  • I have to say that in Denmark at least, iMessage seems to thrive quite well. There are quite a lot using Facebook messenger, but SMS and iMessage is a close second. This is entirely from my point of view. Never met anyone using the examples you mention, unless they are communicating with foreigners on a daily basis.

    As Smartphone Industry Sputters, the iPhone Expands Its Dominance
  • Lots of ‘mights’ and ‘ifs’. No concrete evidence. Also they write that it might spread out across lots of manufacturers. And not only that, this is an article from when the iPhone 12 got released, which was the first to include a USB-C to lightning adding to the worry.

    As Smartphone Industry Sputters, the iPhone Expands Its Dominance
  • "We stopped including a charger in the box to help the environment"

    Actually this means more boxes are being created in total and this is worse for the environment.

    How so? That thought only works if you think they still manufacture the same amount of chargers and package them. Which would be pretty dumb given that they aren’t guaranteed a sell. Also, who doesn’t have a bunch of different chargers already?

    Why !politics and !news are US centric and then we have !worldnews for the rest of the world? Am I the only one finding this slightly arrogant?
  • ‘Politik’ is the same in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden and Norway) as well, so that would have to be split up as well. The same could be said about politics as Ireland, Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia and so on, have the same word for that.

    If you create a community you should append the nation if it’s a common word. Otherwise it should default to worldwide.
