The whole update being design focused is kinda disappointing. But the Liquid Glass UI does look kinda intriguing. I'm glad to get back a little of the old Skeuomorphism of old.

Though I don't have any Apple stuff at the moment

It was a nice theme IMO

with Python which is much, much easier to use than Rust and attracts more contributors. From what I understand it's easier to host too.

I can't imagine it's much easier than Lemmy. As far as self hosting goes Lemmy is pretty standard. And with PieFed being python it's bound to be less efficient at the same scale.

No man. It's great for utility like traveling through a country and being able to ask people things or get something done. But it doesn't foster real connections nearly as well. People will be far less likely to befriend you if you have to awkwardly talk through a translator all the time.

Well maybe consider looking into what South Korean customs are like.

Entering any country to "meet a boyfriend/girlfriend" will set off alarm bells. Mostly that they're worried you will stay illegally with them permanently.

Don't pack too much. Have return tickets already (very important to show you intend to leave), be able to show you still have a life/ties to your home country.

What's that? Dump the whole box in?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 6 months ago

Probably. It would need to be updated with new laws and rules though.

Right. Well it should be good for 2025, so it depends on how much/if any changes there are in the next year.

Unless it's maintained it won't be of much use. It needs to be kept up to date with tax laws, and it relies entirely on the IRS accepting the generated returns. It seems it may function for now, though.
