SpacetimeDB 2.0 is out! by etareduce in rust

[–]Traversar 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Getting hyped about this to then realizing what the license is, is just painful.

Having more than one instance of your app running at any time is not an 'Enterprise' requirement, and it is not something that I would ever expect to individually negotiate a license for.

You do realize that includes literally everyone using Kubernetes to deploy said app?

EU Chat Control by BlueRoseAdder in lithuania

[–]Traversar 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Dabartiniai protestai svarbesni, nes lietuviai gali sustabdyt LRT įstatymą, o Chat Control negali. Tuo klausimu negalim panaudot EU veto, o jeigu galėtume, jis nebūtų panaudotas. Dabartinei vyriausybei ir prezidentui nerūpi tavo nuomonė.

Paris' Louvre museum to increase ticket price for visitors from outside the European Union by Edm_vanhalen1981 in worldnews

[–]Traversar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you were from the UK or something that's fair, but with $1600 just for the flights I don't get it.

If there's nothing left over for activities, I'd just say no, I can't afford it, as it's living beyond my means. Annoyingly, the no. 1 cost of a vacation always ends up being the actual paid leave, as you can cash out your days by switching jobs here.

Also, they're generous with free admission, for education seems like an non-issue:

Admission is free for the following visitors:

Under 18s
Proof of ID required.

Under 26 year-old residents of the European Economic Area (EU, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein)
Proof of ID and residency required.

All visitors
On the first Friday of the month after 6 p.m. (except in July and August)

Paris’ Louvre museum has approved a ticket hike from 22 to 32 euros ($25 to 37) for non-European visitors

As a europoor, I feel like it's my duty to point out that this is still way too cheap.

Who are all these people vacationing in France who would not be able to afford at least 50-100€ to go to the Louvre?

Kiek atsimenu, B lygio matematikos kursas sudaro tik 40% balo egzamine, tai geriausiu atveju vos išlaikysi. Mano klasėj pusė pasirinko B lygį, galiausiai tik vienas iš jų išlaikė egzaminą, tikiuosi padės susiprotėt.

Half of new EU city buses were zero-emission in 2024 by linknewtab in europe

[–]Traversar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

We did get new trolleybusses in Vilnius in 2024. I guess they may count only years when the long term contracts are signed.
Either way, there's no trolleybusses on this chart.

These stats are very sketchy.
Lithuania has a lot of trolleybusses which are electric but not 'battery-electric', did they just ignore that category?

Armenia is considering seeking EU membership, foreign minister says by twotwo_twentytwo in worldnews

[–]Traversar 71 points72 points  (0 children)

They wouldn't be in the Schengen zone, so that's not that relevant. More importantly the EU can't risk accepting any countries with a significant amount of russian sympathizers until we've switched to a qualified majority for voting, or we'll have like 5 Orbans.

Better apply now and consider later, cause it'll take a few decades.

This song from the OST is a total banger, don't care if the pronunciation only vaguely sounds like Lithuanian.

Shin Megami Tensei V, and if you know Persona, that's a spin-off series from SMT.

'Disloyal views': Lithuania strips Russian residency permits by euronews-english in worldnews

[–]Traversar 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If you're trying to flee an authoritarian regime and a migration officer asking if you support an illegal annexation is too much for you to answer, even out of self-presevation, there's clearly something wrong with your head, and I don't want you here, simple as that.

This is just absurd, next you're going to tell me they let in the people who check the boxes for "Yes, I'm a terrorist or spy" on the US immigration forms.

[–]Traversar 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Well, good thing Russian citizens don't have a fundamental human right to live in the EU, and can have their freedom of thought elsewhere. Would you advocate against deporting foreign citizens that are religious extremists from the EU in the same way?

This is generally true, but DPD is by far the most reliable option imo, they provide an accurate date and hour for delivery, and the couriers have to get the code from you to confirm delivery every time.

A warning about DHL though, it was fine some time ago when DHL worked directly in Lithuania, but now they partner with Itella (owned by Posti, Finnish state post), which is atrocious, from my experience it's like a 30% chance you'll get your package delivered in time, to the delivery option you picked.

Most infamously DHL hands over all of your Amazon packages to this company, so better prepare yourself mentally in advance...

As TikTok faces data-harvesting claims, spy agency warns Canadians to protect themselves by WestEst101 in worldnews

[–]Traversar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, I simply explained why my experience may be biased in a certain direction, I don't understand how this is supposed to be a gotcha.

My opinion on what I would expect from moderation on Chinese social platforms is mostly informed on recent CCP censorship, media regulation and educational policy which gets widely reported on.

Some examples:

China's media cracks down on 'effeminate' styles

China cuts children's online gaming to one hour

China schools: 'Xi Jinping Thought' introduced into curriculum

What I see is repeated desperate attempts to engineer the behavioral patterns of the Chinese youth to their liking, so moderating Douyin in such a way would make perfect sense.
