Can’t offer help without important details like where you are currently living and who hired the construction crew? Is that under construction building owned by your landlord? Is it some public funded projects? Are you living in Europe or Asia?
You still need to put in your phone number to use their increasingly limited service though. Either go full bare sms/RMS integration or go full anonymous username only. This half ass approach please no one.
If you are seriously worried about privacy you could always use open source stuff. Some hardware from China has compatibility with open source firmware cause they’re built out of those projects. The software risk from that stuff is about as high as shit from anywhere else.
I’m still listening to kiseki no umi from Record of Lodoss War today. But I can’t remember anything else from the show, it was so generic fantasy even for the time.
IDK why but the music by LiSA never clicked for me. Maybe I’m just too old
The anime is catching up to the manga so quickly. Kinda expected more for the fights this season though.
Is this just a kind of inflation/recession write off for the EU and USA at this point? oh, our economy is not doing so great, we are short by X% of development from project, let’s just write that off as ‘aids’ to Ukraine/Israel
Granted!! the insects can still buzzing around you constantly though. They just won’t land on you ever again.
depends on the availability of the board, which historically has not been that great, the street price is gonna be upward twice to three times more than listed price.
Other people. Individualism is taken to it extreme limit where nobody else matter is the norm in the West. Why should “I” improve the life of any other people?
Sounds really sensible to me. What’s the actual alternative in this case?
that’s a micron of the boot the global south are feeling daily. They have not even outright taking your stuff while forcing you to pay for the gun they pointed at your face yet
/s Nothing to see here, just another friendly democracy working as intended. They’re totally cool unlike those godless Chinese commies.
I have been in these kind of conversation a lot with my friends who work in tech. Even in tech circles, people wills till fall back to ‘unsafe’ solutions due to convenient an network effect. It sucks that we don’t have a universal protocal for instant messaging that work for all platforms and is secured (f**k Apple for that). At this point I agree that it’s just easier to just move on and use a normie chat app with burner accounts (which is increasingly harder to make nowadays)
internet in other parts of the world is honestly developing at astounding speed. I got offered 1gbps synchronous fiber for $75/month in Vietnam in 2019.
I remember people talking about a HSR system linking the three biggest cities in Texas way back in 2010s. They couldn’t even raise enough support to finish the research for the placement of the train stops. Not sure this will even get pass that.
One of the most used feature of Facebook and Instagram is their messenger. It’s much easier for people to use the same account they use for social media to communicate with each other. A direct messaging feature within fediverse would augment the current ecosystem and make more people transition away from big corporations
Sorry if you already move on from this. I don’t know much about Nicaragua to say if you will have any luck with trying to ask the local government for help. However, I lived in a third world country before where if you escalate to the local government, all they do is shrug their shoulder and ask you to move on. Unless you are rich and powerful enough, which would negate all of these problem from even happening from the beginning, to have somebody in the “local government” to help then that road is typically a dead end.
Other stuff you can try is directly appealing to the working crews. Just a little bit of food and some greetings would sometimes give you a lot of information regarding who they are, who they are working for and what they are doing. If you know who they are working for, you can then go and appeal to them, which might solve your issue (or make it worse), but try to asset before reaching out just in-case. Knowing the crew might also reduce the annoyance since people tend to be more considerate around people they know. However, it might not help much if the crew is also under pressure and constraint from their contracts and workload.
