Good for his game. Arteta held him back promising him game time but I don’t think it worked out. Good for him.
Disgusting! These incidences are far more common than reported.
This is next level. I wonder if this is really possible. Like, do they have control on these things? I am thinking of a mass resistance where people make barcodes and go to these places to stick their own fair prices and pay. But may be we are not there yet.
Now, consider how powerful Reddit is/used to be, especially in quality human generated resources (jokes, answers, commentary etc) and realize networks exert power in different ways from just numbers. Numbers matter, but in very different ways.
In an ideal world, this should not have to get here. Ethiopia should access trade routes as easily as they can and Somali people should also access inland trade routes as easily as possible. But Ethiopia has the imperial history on their profile.
This cashless movement is very silent on one key aspect -- transition from public to private payment providers. We should not sacrifice public goods (cash being one) for so-called efficiency and transparency (cashless) values when we know all too well private payment options (MPESA, VISA, MasterCard) are as vulnerable to inefficiencies as they are to corruption.
Here is an alternative that aggregates from multiple sources: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/
While I do not oppose paying for definitions, there is someone confusing about collectively generated meaning being aggregated and packaged by one company for profit. A publicly maintained dictionary is a much much better alternative. I guarantee it would be more versatile and rigorous than this Oxford stuff.
I wonder how tough or easy it was for Egypt to destroy the tunnels. Or how fast they started breathing again. How do the people create anti-flooding systems in there? Complex but very interesting topic.
I wonder who is expected to fix the country if everyone hops from whatever place they are for the next one as long as their personal income gets a little more money. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for personal progress and it’s pursuit. But I also realize personal progress is anchored on collective stability. There is something off with someone who hops and ditches a place based on assumed better outcomes round the bend.
Finally got round to listening to this episode.
in the opening minutes, there is a participant (I think called juliet) who remarked "[internet rights community from Africa] could not survive in the fediverse" and there are multiple problems with the fediverse like its unmeasurable nature. There was also another argument made around "virtual signalling" for people who announced their exit from Twitter and then quietly went back to the same place. There was also another argument around African research not being cited in key policy engagement yet non-African research is seen to give "gravitas" to the issues.
My reflection about it is there is a subtle misunderstanding between what fediverse is supposed to be as an alternative to centralized options like Twitter and Facebook. The expectation that the options are supposed to mirror the aspects of the centralized platforms is misplaced. Expecting metrics on almost everything people do on the fediverse is a hangover from Facebook and Twitter.
The expectation that "someone else" will create the platforms and alternatives is evident. I did not hear anyone on that panel point to some instance they are hosting or supporting. Perhaps that is my biggest takeaway -- they focused more on telling others what should be done and less on what are we actually doing ourselves to create the social media ecosystem we want? They said they were in Japan. I can bet you the combined ticket prices and accommodation and visa fees for just the panelists is enough to host a robust fediverse instance for three years.
i am not so optimistic with talk shops like this Internet Governance Forum.
Thanks, anyway.
Interesting.
OP, do you have the numbers on how men’s vote changed relative to 2019? From the article, 75% of women voted v 73% of men voted. This reflected a 12% increase for women but didn’t go into percentages for men.
Every time you see a multinational company advertise something in your country, and while at it it discourages the use of indigenous options, always fight back!
I mean, fight MNCs always!
If you don’t take credit facilities but pay for your expenses in cash, you are considered a risk. Credit scoring based on credit card purchases is akin to being required to be spied on every step of the way just so you can access what you practically can without the credit in the first place. I don’t have a problem with people who are fine with that kind of behavior. But there should be a way of fair assessment even if you pay in cash.

Easier to count which countries in that region that are not under military hold than those that are.
In 2019, Gabon experienced an attempted coup when they even took the national radio and tv. The coup agents were arrested (and possibly killed).
Hello @peoplexity.
Is Guosa a syllabic language or uses letter-based system to script sounds?
Not a seasoned parent but have been through this process. Try to get enough sleep yourself so you can give the necessary attention while traveling.
2 hours in the plane also means like another 3 hours in the car + airport queues. Don’t forget that bit.
Sleep deprivation is a great reason why parents are angry with kids and can’t focus even for a minute due to irritability.
When you realize most of those judgemental passengers were those kids like 20 years ago (2003’sh). 😀
As long as there is effort from the parent’s side to help the baby adjust, then people should be more human and acknowledge this is how humans grow up!
