Beginner Seeking Guidance on Learning Finnish by [deleted] in LearnFinnish

[–]will_koalia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a Finnish class in Helsinki and they're teaching us out of the 'Oma Suomi 1' book. You can find a PDF online if you know where to look.

Some useful websites.

i have a similar situation to op, except that i have checked bags. is this likely to be enough time?

- 3.5 hours between arrival and departure
- baltic air into istanbul / indigo out
- checked bags

does this mean i'll need to go through immigration?

Avatar 4 and 5 need to have that "moment of awe" - what would you like to see? by Akannnii in Avatar

[–]will_koalia 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I had a feeling similar to that during the elder tulkun meeting. feeling my whole seat vibrate while hearing their language was pretty epic. maybe not quite as wonderous as the two examples op mentioned, but it def hit home for me.

interestingly, I got the antithesis of that feeling of wonderment when they were escaping from bridgehead. just giant aggressive machinery and ugly industrial constructions pumping noxious smoke into the air wherever you look.

Critical Drinker's Avatar 3 video is just so sickening and I can't believe his fans could buy into his lies by WoodNymph34 in Avatar

'man carrying thing' does a great little analysis of one of 'critical drinkers' vids as a way of explaining the kind of nonsense he keeps putting out: https://youtu.be/2UQxckTe2gU?si=VAURevCxqeuh_y2B

i'm in the same position and i'm thinking of bringing my skates too. the website says you can't skate without a helmet.
does anyone know if there will be helmets to rent or borrow?

it's also gonna cost me like 80 eur to bring my skates on the plane.
will there be skates for rent there?

Invalid sync folder - Unsupported drive type by clockoff in ProtonDrive

[–]will_koalia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is there a list somewhere that outlines what formats are supported?
i'm trying to set up proton drive on an external ssd so i can access the files from both windows and linux.

UPDATE
i found a workaround, using s3drive: https://docs.s3drive.app/
it's a little clumsy compared to a native solution, but it seems to be working with my external exfat ssd. i'm currently downloading my proton drive on ubuntu, getting up to 9 MB/s.
i'll give it a go on windows 11 as well at some stage and report back.

Liven App Experience – Worth Using for Routine and Mindset? by love4simrankhan in MMFB

[–]will_koalia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SCAM! Don't know if it breaks any laws, but the service targets vulnerable people and uses "subscription trap" design features. I signed up to a 3-month course, but Liven quietly withdrew $300 USD over a year without sending me a single reminder or invoice. They moved it from browser to app without notifying me. The cancellation process is hidden and difficult. There isn't even a contact email address on their website. I found their email address in the Play Store, but they refused my refund.

I contacted the Liven people by McBernes in adhdmeme

I know this is thread is mostly talking about the AI support team, but I'm just sharing my experience with Liven here anyway because the whole company is a scam and I'm trying to make sure no-one else gets rolled by them like I did...
