Thanks, I will export and import my profile. Hopefully things will be smoother in the future, but being able to export the some of the profile is better than nothing

Thanks for answering. I will do this

Thanks! Will do this

Thanks. I wonder why this is a low priority. If the people attracted t the fediverse want decentralization and interoperability, it would make sense that many people would want to migrate from one instance to another as easily and smoothly as possible.

Thanks again for the detailed answer

What happened in the 70s and 80s for artists in their 20s to lose their dominance so much?

“The Chennai plant is Samsung’s second-largest in the country and generates nearly one-third of Samsung’s annual revenue in India, which amounts to $12 billion (€10.8 billion).”

Jesus, the plant makes nearly $4 billion annually but these workers are only paid around 300 USD a month and want increases to 428 a month within three years.

Also, I always appreciated how he stood up for Lisa when the king was being disrespectful

Noooo!!! I just saw this and it’s 30 mins past midnight. I let down Earth, Wind and Fire

Good to see people calling out NYT for their nonsense

I misread the title and thought it said 9.4% of its energy from renewables not just solar. Way to go Chile!

Homophobia unfortunately has a strong hold through most of Africa at the moment. Hopefully we will overcome it as a continent. Anyways, I wish Senegal success in curbing corruption and looting.

"The German government has said the deal does not specify the number of workers who will be allowed in. "

I think BBC edited the article after you posted this but I couldn’t find the 250000 number from the title.

In any case this is great news for both countries.

This price is impossibly cheap even compared to other Chinese built trains in other African countries. Something must be off

Makes sense! I think France, and all countries that had slave colonies, should pay back the equivalent of the profits they made from slavery with interest. It won’t take away the atrocities that were committed but it is part of justice.

More rail infrastructure in Africa is great news!

For everyone commenting about debt traps, from an African perspective both Western debt and Chinese debt (or any type of debt) favor the creditors but Chinese loans are relatively advantages because

(1) they tend to focus on infrastructure that the respective countries can use to their advantage as opposed to the WB or IMF loans which promote neoliberalism that has never worked in Africa (or really any other place) and push Africa in a position to only be able to provide raw materials and never be able to switch to value added products.

(2) They push other richer countries interested in African to invest more if they want to compete with China. The US for example has made plans to invest in African infrastructure to compete with China:

(3) If the debtor countries default on the loan or want to renegotiate, China (at least so far) doesn’t use its intelligence agencies and military agencies to destabilize your country or force regime change

I was sure this was fake until I saw some of the comments and looked it up. This is amazing!

Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to break it down for the layperson!

This is the first time I’m hearing of e waste mining, do you recommend doing it at a small scale? and if so, do you need any special material for the set up?

I like that Lemmy is independent and Im not providing free content for a giant corporation

Kendrick performed Not like Us five times during his Juneteenth concert. The joke here is Drake writing his lyrics saying that he didn’t perform it a sixth time bc he is afraid of “the six” which is term that Drake often uses to refer to his hometown, Toronto.
