Native English speaker here - my English teacher at school always used to say that in order to write well, you need to read well.

That probably doesn’t help you in the short term, however! But, yes - finding “good” authors you enjoy is a good way to go.

Reminds me of the Netflix show “American Factory” about a Chinese factory opening in the US.

Quite a fascinating clash of cultures.

Yeah this was the main take-away for me, too. You’d expect they’d have ironclad QA when doing shit like this.

Found this post that explains what happened in detail: https://lemmy.ohaa.xyz/post/3522666

As an application developer (rather than someone who can/does code operating systems) I was just left open-mouthed …

Looks like they’re delivering “code as content” to get around the rigour of getting an updated driver authorised by MS. I realise they can’t wait too long for driver approval for antivirus releases but surely - surely - you have an ironclad QA process if you’re playing with fire like this.

Outstanding. You don’t often see content this good.

That looks more like a polar bear to me!!

Please please please please do so

Very interesting! I visited Lisbon a month ago for a couple of days (yes I know I was part of the problem!) and I’ve rarely seen a city more overrun by tourists … definitely worse than Barcelona and probably on a par with Venice.

It didn’t feel like a city where normal people live and work (and we went quite far afield). Pretty sorry to see it in this state I hope they manage to sort it out.

Well, what a surprise!

Man I wish we hadn’t all fallen for the “don’t be evil” motto all those years ago.

This move from Google is utter, utter bullshit.

Dear God!

Always fully open! More airflow, less stuffiness. Having said that, we don’t share a home with anyone else.

The best thing about breaking up with someone is that you’ll get to fall in love again.

Obviously don’t rush that or seek it out, but it will happen at some point.

I always think that breaking up from a decently long relationship is like losing a part of yourself - take your time and make yourself whole before trying to fill that void with the “easy fix” of starting a relationship with someone else.

How do you do that? It just takes time. Do things you love doing. Spend time with people who bring joy to your life. Embrace life! Say yes to new experiences. Be brave.

And then - probably when you least expect it - you’ll meet someone who makes you realise that breaking up was the best thing that could have happened to you.

TIL Netflix does DVDs
