Compared to France the only difference seemed to be China, but the source data is quite difficult to compare.

While they are quite prominent the mentioned brands are not actual monopolies and you do see quite often locks, elevators and faucets from other manufacturers.

Abloy doesn't play by the language rules because it is originally short for AB Lukko OY ([LTD in swedish] Lock [LTD in finnish]).

I have never had any problems with Abloy locks. The previous lock on my current building started jamming when people pulled the heavy front door open with one hand by the key, but it was made by some german company. The current locks on the outside doors are electronic so you can not pull it with the key, but can open with one hand by pulling the handle after showing the key. Aparment locks are still mechanic. The new locks neither are from Abloy.

Hienoa että fediversumi on kerrankin edes mainittu, eikä yritetä aina vaieta kuoliaaksi.

Tässä on paljon samaa kuin alkoholin käytön häpeämisessä. Yritetään painostaa jos joku kieltäytyy ilman "hyväksyttävää" syytä kuten raskaus tai lääkitys, autolla kulkemistakaan ei pidetä riittävänä vaan aletaan ehdotella että voit sä yhden ottaa tai hae se auto huomenna.

Because that is all they got. Even if they make some profit on the sale of the hardware, it is peanuts compared to the game and tie-in sales. Losing control of even a single IP would be a serious hit to them.

Valve has been quite supportive of fan projects like Black Mesa and Delta Particles and only demanding to remove Half-Life from the name to protect their trademark. But I guess they don't want to risk involving Nintendo.

Anything cyberpunk usually fits that bill. Like Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix sounds and is ridiculous in many ways, but also has some insights on the rich taking over the media and prison system.

Markkinat eivät toimi, joten ei kosketa mihinkään ja odotetaan että markkinat korjaavat ongelman.

Not only foreign. Many natives experience also this level of response to applications.

Even though I suck at it, I've been playing Rhythm Doctor. It's still officially in early access, but it's already quite polished with a decent amount of official levels and a ton of custom ones done with the included editor.

More on the Computerphile side, especially the timezone one.

In case you have missed, there's a second channel where he tried stuff, like stage fighting, with guests.

Tom Scott has also done a lot of hilarious stuff with his mates.

Also Matt Gray (that face from that image from that video) has started doing a new series of trying cool stuff, like road painting.

Also previously he bought a soft-serve ice cream machine for a while and tried what ingredients would work in it.

I just loved every minute of this.

I had only heard The Wolf You Feed before and didn't check the track list before putting it on, so I accidentally went semi-blind and kept being awestruck with every track and guest artist.

FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?


edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked.

 

Someone has found a way to get paid for just memeing

 

Despite the recent news Finland is not yet a complete dumpster fire, but an actually beautiful and safe place to visit and enjoy.

For some reason 100 reasons to travel in Finland is targetted only for natives and does not have an English version, but it has more locations to consider if you can navigate a Finnish site.

Musical memes is a very under-explored area

 

When was the last time you found piece that didn’t match your usual listening habits, but ended up liking it? How did you come accross it?

My taste has been mostly rock, metal and certain kinds of electroic music, but

Fallout introduced me to Billie Holiday

Youtube channel Inside the Score got me started on classical music, like actually listening and enjoying Beethoven, Sibelius and Dvorak and going even to a concert instead of just knowing the bits you can not avoid.

The jazz covers of Phoenix Wright music, especially The Dark Fragrance of Coffee, got me seeking for more of similar style.
