According to the article text:
A key driver behind the success of Chinese apps is that they have integrated e-commerce into their platforms, blending entertainment and networking with sales to monetize their famously addictive algorithms, according to Chinese social media experts and marketing firms.
Do you specifically want it on paper, or do you just care about compact and offline? I mean, Kiwix will do offline Wikipedia on a phone, which is gonna store a lot more data than a full-size printed set in a more-compact form factor than a single book.
India is keen to enhance trade relations with the US
What I’ve read in the past has given me the impression that India has generally run fairly protectionist trade policy.

I guess if the US really intends some substantial trade decoupling with China, maybe India figures that they can walk into that hole. That might not be a wildly unreasonable expectation.

That’s basically what’s being predicted here:

India is emerging as the other big Global South trade story as it pursues favorable relations with most of the world’s major economies. We project 6.4% CAGR in India’s total trade through 2033, to $1.8 trillion annually, roughly in line with its high GDP growth. Among the drivers will be India’s growing popularity as a production base for companies seeking to diversify supply chains concentrated in China, hefty government incentives for manufacturing, a huge low-cost workforce, and rapidly improving infrastructure.
It looks like the company was founded in London, then later set up international branches, FWIW.

Codelocks was started by Dorothea and Desmond Ryan, Codelocks’ chairman, out of their small fourth-floor apartment in central London in 1991 with the goal to satisfy the unmet need for a simple digital lock in the marketplace. After much research, they sourced a digital lock from Taiwan, and Codelocks was born with its first and still available lock: the mechanical CL250.

During the most recent glacial period, lowering of sea levels joined the British Isles once more to the continental mainland of Europe via Doggerland, until about 6500–6200 BCE.
Global warming over the past eight thousand years, I suppose.
I’ve seen two websites that record average response times for lemmy, maybe all Threadiverse instances. Kind of wish that there were a wiki somewhere for all the Web-based tools.

This isn’t it:
https://lemmy-meter.info/d/TTWsBQmIz/lemmy-meter-info?orgId=1&refresh=1m
This might be one of the two:
It only seems to show current latency (and it’s not clear that on this site, what the latency is for – just to ping the thing or the lemmy instance responding). Lemmy.world looks in line with others on this one.
Maybe the one I’m thinking of isn’t online any more. It had a graph and did show lemmy.world latency increases back when a lot of new users were piling in, though that was some time back and may have been resolved.
Isn’t Jenkins a continuous integration system? I’d think that you’d want a configuration management system (like ansible) if you’re not trying to set up CI infrastructure.
They don’t really have a choice. TV viewership has been on decline.

Time spent watching television: digital video vs. traditional TV
From 2021 to 2025, daily time spent watching traditional television is projected to plummet by 28 minutes. In contrast, Americans are spending increasingly more time consuming digital videos. In 2021, they spent an average of three hours a day enjoying digital videos. By 2025, this is set to grow to four hours, marking an overall rise of 33.3%.

Isn’t your laptop use case the reason that sleep exists?
I don’t want my laptop to have its battery constantly being drained.
I have it set up to suspend for 10 minutes, and if it’s still suspended, hibernate.
That lets me move it from location to location quickly for short moves, but also means that if I don’t open the thing up again for a week or two, it’s fine.
I don’t care that much on the desktop, though faster is always nice.
I do care on laptops, where it’s linked to time required to wake up from hibernation.
I don’t think that the actual problem is non-political content being flooded out, but a lack of non-political content being submitted.
Trump’s degree is in economics.
A lot of people who support Trump are worried about having low-skill jobs in areas that the US is not competitive in that pay well in the US, which is hard if they have to compete with the rest of the world.
You may come to your own conclusions.
An existing field?
I mean, if not, I think that it’d be a pretty easy call to be one that nobody is in, preferably one from the future – now you have access to a bunch of unique and thus highly-valuable knowledge.
No – Trump is perfectly aware that the thing is going to get overturned on constitutional grounds.
The point of this is to keep Trump constantly in the news “fighting” for something that supporters want without actually needing to do anything.
I just wanted something short and reasonably pronounceable, as that’s easier to remember.
In the past, I’ve used a FIPS-181 pronounceable password generator to generate pronounceable usernames that don’t collide with existing usernames. But since the Threadiverse is still young, plus each new instance has its own username space, it’s practical to have a very short username.
I suspect that there are many websites that already dynamically generate an unbounded number of pages based on the links one clicks, and that Web spiders will have needed to deal with those for as long as there have been people spidering the Web, which is going to be no later than the first Web search engines.
I’d guess that if nothing else, they cap how far they spider a site. Probably a lot more sophisticated, use heuristics to figure out which sites are more worth spending indexing resources on, as it’s not just whether to spider but also the frequency with which to do so. Some parts of a site are more “valuable” than others – for a search engine, a more desirable target for users clicking on results – and some will update more frequently and are more-useful to re-spider at higher frequency. Google will return current news articles, yet still indexes a large portion of the content out there. They won’t be doing that by simply sending GoogleBot at everything that they’ve indexed at a fixed frequency.
Isn’t that 50 years later?
You can cap maximum image upload size that lemmy instances will host with pict-rs, and the limit varies by instance, as admins have chosen different settings.
It looks like currently, lemmy doesn’t tell clients about the limit ahead of time, just fails the upload attempt if the image exceeds the instance limit:
