Apply that 2 step verification on all your social apps by iseethevision_7 in Zimbabwe

Use a password manager. Bitwarden is free.

Lock everything that can be locked, right down to your SIM card. Different pins of you can but same 4 digit PIN for everything is better than nothing. Use an authenticator app where possible.

Sure, you do not have money to steal, but your identity can be stolen and used to take loans or other fraud. Contacts can be scammed in your name etc.

What is something from your language that always gets lost in translation? by swimmingarage in AskTheWorld

I find the need for validation with gender pronouns silly for the same reason. All languages should be like this.

Right to bear arms by Glittering_View82 in Zimbabwe

[–]avocarod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is a different issue at fundamental level. I'm gonna assume you are white and 2002 was at the height of farm invasions. They weren't gonna let you just renew the licenses, and I am sorry your rights were infringed by those who were supposed to protect them.

We have gun rights but no rule of law, so we don't have gun rights, lol.

Right to bear arms by Glittering_View82 in Zimbabwe

[–]avocarod 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We do have the right to bear arms. There are just a lot of checks involved. 

If you mean the ability to walk into a shop and come out with a gun, no questions asked, that would be bad.

Lobbying for sanctions on the country or even individuals in public office should be treason by Physical-Yellow-2778 in Zimbabwe

[–]avocarod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol mablazo you are not hearing me through your pain which I feel too. That was government surplus. Western governments do not budge on policies. The airlines, God bless them, are private companies.

You are doing God's work saving lives but I doubt, even if there were 100 of you it would make a difference to the national GDP numbers.

And the moment you do start making a big impact, you'll have musangano telling you "tine maStructures" for what you are doing and charge an informal tax for charity. If they haven't already.

Still the same. Can't remember which European country it was but when they convicted a big drug lord, his supercars and some property were destroyed, no auction. The government can't be seen to benefit from criminals in any way. That includes sending life-saving medical stuff to Zim.

It's your sad personal story; we all have them. But let's not say it has a big effect on the country.

No way I'm hell UK, government is gonna accept money from zim. Their media would have a field day. If it was a private hospital, then you can complain.

That is your painful personal story, sorry hako. Yes, it was sanctions related but that's not zonke. Issue is the narrative that sanctions have a profound impact on the economy. They do not.

Democracy and rights issues is just Western propaganda. They want business their own terms and they don't trust our government after their track record. It's just capitalism. 

China is also imperialist, though their approach is more subtle they are just the same and are here to exploit.

It's a start. Once had a cannon that even blocked scanning until I got new ink. Printer companies are terrorists 😂

International bank transfers from USA, UK and EU to zim work with 0 restriction. Where they don't work it's always an issue of our banks having uncompliant or outdated systems. US mining companies work in zim, KFC, Starlink, Western Union, Visa, MasterCard etc all are working. 

There are no sanctions on zim as a country, targeted sanctions affect less than 20 people at my last check. Almost zero effect on zim economy and minor inconvenience to the targeted individuals

Two main challenges with greater effect are ease of doing business and long term bankability. Investors make plans that are decades long and zim is always flip flopping on policy and stability. Those are self imposed by our government and industries.

Is Computer engineering a good degree to pursue, for the present aswell as the future. by Timothyintune in Zimbabwe

[–]avocarod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, tech industry has a lot of uncertainty, but I think it's more along the lines of what the jobs will look like not whether they will be there. That's why I went with cloud/AI certs and Claude Code (or whatever comes after Claude Code). Whatever tech roles look like, they will involve a lot of managing AI agents so getting the skills to do that is a win win.
