Can’t god like, put a cup over it or something?

“Here are six apps to make you not use your phone as much”

Ideally, supervision over most non critical sectors would fall to randomly drafted, single term committees of the people, think jury duty except better compensated and obviously with bureaucratic resources available to enable these committees to fulfil their role adequately.

Now this isn’t suited for everything, but in either system any true oversight is done by the people, not the state.

First thing NK does i can get behind

🤚 we dont do that here

But then why all the elaborate, intrusive and likely expensive (for the corp) user profiling? If the most effective advertising is just blasting random mildly related suggestions at the consumer that seems a huge waste of money.

The US didnt have to account for the likelihood of russian psyops and election interference destabilizing the country during these critical times though.

Twitter had a tweeting bird. Mastodon has a, well, tooting mastodon.

🤨 you will probably want to ask your tutor for your money back.

“Shmatterling” is likely the closest sounding english approximation.

I am not a court of law. I am not asking for them to be killed or even harmed beyond their sentences either, this is purely a moral assessment. The convicts aren’t just petty thieves, all hardened criminals or worse. I don’t have to want them to die, but I also don’t have to care if they do.

Would you lose any sleep if either of them died for any reason?

Why yes not all of them gang raped a little girl but all of them are convicted felons. If that plane were to crash the only things of value lost would be the lives of the flight personnel.

What annoys me personally about it (to the point that i blocked the community) is that it is mandatory. That’s not humor, or funny, that is weird performative scripted humor. I often felt reminded of carnival speeches.

I’d also argue that it isnt very successful in clearing anglicisms from the german vernacular when it is all about making the most incorrect and cryptic literal translation imaginable to the point that nobody could understand unless they are well versed in those anglicisms.

it is only me_irl in name though, it is a general meme / conversational community with the obnoxious (and over used to death) in joke that is zangendeutsch.

without having read any comments i bet 99% of them are people telling you that you shouldnt give your daughter girly games even if it is she who wants them.

Pretty sure media writes that way to be lawsuit proof. Everything is allegedly, supposedly, reportedly, according to sources, and so forth. Only things a court of law has confirmed are safe to report as facts.

Though I of course agree it is ridiculous as you suggest. There is video evidence of trump doing it, they might as well call it as it is. Attacking a young neurodivergent man for loving his dad is also despicable.

I’d still recommend a pixel if you care about your security and privacy, but the phone definitely isnt somehow extraordinary. Good quality (at least mine is), the expected specs for a modern phone, no complaints.

Just that it is, well, a normal smartphone otherwise. Unless you want to put a custom OS on it you won’t find it very different from any other smartphone.

This post reads a little like

The one thing the pixels really have going for themselves is that the user can degoogle them and slap grapheneos on it. Literally the only reason I bought a pixel, everything else about it is very much average.

Who’s down for a quick bike ride?

Was it the one with the reckless billionaire and his plaything sub who ignored all safety regulations because he knew better?

Those people are the select few beneficiaries of capitalism, and also absolutely fucking stupid so I have a hard time considering them a victim.

The point was that some sites neglect to develop for Firefox, and simply tell Firefox users to get chrome instead. Meanwhile Firefox works in most cases perfectly fine without any doing on the website’s part if it is simply duped into believing that the firefox user is just a plain old chrome user as expected. Doesn’t work for everything, but almost.
