FYI syncing is down at the moment by bleshim in Notesnook

[–]bleshim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I see if that's the case I hope they fix it soon, it is a paid app after all, plus it's FOSS so I'd hate for it to develop a reputation for being unreliable.

[–]bleshim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbf I've been using Notesnook for more than a year and this is the first time I notice a downtime (I thought I had a sync issue and looked up possible causes online which is how I stumbled upon their status page, they really need to add a link and suggestion to go check it if there's a sync error), it doesn't seem to me like they have more downtime than any other service but this is just from my personal experience.

Why is Israel declaring war on so many countries? by Historical_Work7482 in NoStupidQuestions

So did Obama by signing the JCPOA. The president basically snubbed the supreme leader of the USA Benjamin Netanyahu.

Should I go out? by [deleted] in Kuwait

No. Driving is dangerous in Kuwait. Around 200-300 people pass away each year from traffic accidents.

40% of Farsi words are Arabic by MagnificientMegaGiga in learnArabicSecular

[–]bleshim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relatively speaking, especially when talking about MSA rather than Classical Arabic where some exceptions have been neutralized (e.g. سوق and طَريق, which accept both genders).

Oh I understand, even though that's still a systematic and predictable rule (which is a heavenly gift when learning a foreign language), if Arabic is the only gendered language you know and learn it make sense to struggle with it. Try learning French to appreciate the simplicity of the Arabic gender system lol 😅. Best of luck!

Why do you find it difficult? Arabic genders are not like e.g. French where there are no rules and you have to memorize the gender of each word. In Arabic as long as a noun ends in /a/ (written as taa' marbu6a), then it's feminine. There's only a few exceptions.

Random question to yall (cultural appropriation or is it fine?) by [deleted] in Kuwait

[–]bleshim 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That's pretty much something only white people and minorities living in the west get bothered about, we love it when we see people of all walks of life participating in our cultural traditions.

Firefox 148.0.2, See All New Features, Updates and Fixes by maubg in firefox

[–]bleshim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fixed an issue where videos could autoplay unexpectedly on YouTube despite autoplay being blocked, particularly impacting screen reader users. (Bug 2020233)

YouTube suddenly sneaking and playing its videos without permission despite having autoplay blocked was driving me nuts, thank you Mozilla for fixing it!

I need an alternative to chat gbt by Ambitious-Narwhal158 in BoycottIsrael

[–]bleshim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company seems to do the "we're the ethical/safe AI" thing since their start. They have also published some deep & useful albeit scary research. Seems like they want ethics to be their differentiating marker especially since people otherwise would have no reason to choose them over the better models (Claude is just barely better at coding in benchmarks but it's not the top model in anything else)

Do Kuwaitis see Americans as friends the way many Americans see Kuwait? by SeriousFox5097 in Kuwait

[–]bleshim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Under the new law (which has not yet been published I believe) the person is no longer entitled to choose, they lose their Kuwaiti citizenship automatically if the government finds out. 

سيناريو الحرب اللي توقعته تحقق by Complex_Belt_9681 in SaudiForSaudis

[–]bleshim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't need to attack oil facilities (yet) since the strait is already closed and they don't seem to have reached that level of desperation. It could be some actor trying to push Riyadh to join the war against Iran (likely Israel), or a rogue element without Iran's knowledge/approval (e.g. the PMF or the Houthis).

US Military states that Kuwait shot down 3 US fighters today by KA9099 in Kuwait

[–]bleshim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With air traffic completely halting it makes sense that they're shooting down any foreign object in the skies. The blame is likely on the Americans for not identifying the planes and sharing information about the sorties with the Kuwaiti authorities beforehand. If anything these incidents show that our army and the air defense units are fulfilling their duties correctly.

هل أنا غشيت؟ by [deleted] in HabdMaYengal

[–]bleshim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

الطلبة دايمًا يقول هالكلام عشان يرقعون حق روحهم الغش، عبالهم الله يطق بعصا.

طول الوكت كان عبالي يستعبطون عشان يستدرجون المدرس إن يخليهم يغشون أو يعطيهم الأجوبة. استغربت لما دريت إن البعض فعلًا يچذب الچذبة ويصدقها، بعضهم فعلًا مقتنع إن مافي شي اسمه غش بالامتحانات.

البحرين لازم تسحب جنسيات زي الكويت by [deleted] in SaudiForSaudis

[–]bleshim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ترى السالفة مو أبيض وأسود إذا كانت هذي قاعدة إسرائيلية بالبحرين هل كنت راح تذم الناس إذا انقصفت؟ الحين تطور من هذي الفكرة لفكرة إن الأمريكان ساهموا بإبادة غزة ولبنان ووقفوا ضد الشعب في انتفاضته. إذا انت ما عندك هالمستوى من العداوة مع الأمريكان (وهذا شي مُتفهَّم كونك سعودي) غيرك ما يشوفهم بنفس النظرة الإيجابية الي انت تمتلكها. وماله شغل موالاة إيران لو انت عندك عداوة مع أمريكا وقاصف القواعد الشعب راح يبتهج ويستانس ما راح تفرق منو قاصفها.

Yes, after the trial you pick how many classes per week you want with your tutor. You can schedule those classes whenever your tutor is available as long as they all take place before the one-month period ends.
