  • I've used mostly for Art references when I'm drawing because the image search is mostly accurate for my needs, but now it is filled with Ai slop without a clear way to filter content, so it has became unusable for the past 3 years or so.

  • A funny thing in Iran is how they repackage old PlayStation consoles
  • They don't, I've only seen Sony consoles repackaged, basically because they are well known to most consumers. When it comes to Nintendo, they sell cheap knockoffs that come with 1000 games or something pre-installed.

  • A funny thing in Iran is how they repackage old PlayStation consoles
  • Similar to how the market works here in Iraq. They package refurbished consoles with new boxes and often 3rd party controllers. A ps1 with two controllers and a usb flash drive full of random roms goes for around 50,000 IQD which is about 35$.

  • Mull rule
  • Fennec is the only one still in development. There are some discussions to fork librewolf to android but nothing is official yet. I also came across Ironfox which is a mull fork, but everything still so vague about it

  • Mull was the only browser on my phone, which was more than enough for me, never encountered a problem with it and haven't had to use another browser for the past two years.

    What lemmy thinks of Iraq?
  • Egypt situation is different and I wouldn't wanna talk about it here. Speaking about sexual harassments, I don't imply it's absence you can search online if you want to confirm that, 2022 was the worst year in that matter it showed an increased at the rates of sexual harassment in public places, but people's and government efforts to fights it back has showed it's results, I can't speak for everyone ofc, so you have to take precautions. In your other comment you mentioned honor killing yeah it was a matter back then when half of Iraq didn't have electricity, mainly at the rural parts of Iraq. Don't get me wrong, women and human rights here in general are still at a set back from the rest of the world but we are improving bit by bit hoping to make it even better here.

  • For 100 years women was treated as the inferior gender not just in Iraq but all around the Arabian Gulf area due to religious/customary reasons. Iraq was one of the first countries to allow women to drive, it was and will be the most secular middle eastern country. After the American invasion on Iraq women's rights was at decline because of the war, and it's now even better than ever. So they feel pretty much normal I guess, they even sometimes have more freedom than us men here.

  • Lots of tourists come around here, mainly to The marshes, the city of Babylon and Ur, yearly from the month of November to April where the temperature rates are at it's modest. I recommend you coming here, it's not that scary really from the tourists perspective.

  • What lemmy thinks of Iraq?
  • There are like 20 or even more government parties, I stopped counting them really, they all fight for who will be in charge of different sections of the government each one of them having no chance of agreement with each other, which results in a a political conflict the last 14 years at the end of every election cycle on which party is the prime minister nominated from, in the end it comes down to the nomination of an acceptable figure among these parties. And it doesn't take long until each one of them starts digging holes in the way of that figure for the sake of benefits, either Money, investment contracts، positions amongst the authority.

    It really doesn't effect us that much now with them recently settling down to form an electoral alliance in the last 2 years. It has become more safe the last 6-8 years so much to hold sports events "recently The Arabian Gulf Cup Which was won by Iraq btw. Iraq has come along way and now somewhat on par with its neighboring countries.

  • What lemmy thinks of Iraq?
  • I didn't took it that way, and i know he didn't mean something against my country either. It's more of a general idea rather than thinking of something. I don't think of the US that much but I do have a general idea about it, current political situation, and the states.

  • What lemmy thinks of Iraq?
  • Yes, born raised and probably gonna die here. I live in southern region of Iraq, specifically the city of Nasiryah. Generally everything are still lacking behind due to years of war but it's getting better bit by bit with some hiccups because of the Iranian government influence, inflation, corruption.

  • What lemmy thinks of Iraq?
  • Not really much, the government only depends on oil for income with little to none effort of changing that direction. Electricity demand is higher than ever with the service declining each and every year.

  • What lemmy thinks of Iraq?
  • It's really funny if you think about it, what America identified as terrorists and imprisoned at Abu Ghraib prison are now politics controlling Iraq's economy each one with his own militia to protect him from the law. We now only looking for the future with people tending to forget what happened 20 years ago in the hope that things get better.

  • What lemmy thinks of Iraq?

    As an Iraqi, I do ask this question to myself a lot, what the world opinion on modern Iraq. It changed a lot especially after ISIS war, but people here generally don't value the change that much due to high unemployment rates, drought, and bossy militias.

    Is there a way to disable the rumble feature on the Xbox controller?

    I'm Running Linux Mint 21.3 mainly using Lutris and Steam for some native Linux games. It's so annoying, especially when it sometimes disconnects the gamepad. I'm using an Xbox One S controller connected through a USB cable.
