I swear to God, I can’t name another country that takes such little criticism ever in the MSM other than Israel.

A fucking hospital ffs.

Now! 🌎🫨🤬💣💥

It depends what you’re using it for as to whether you need to fact check stuff.

I’m a software developer and if I can’t remember how to do an inner join in SQL then I can easier ask ChatGPT to do it for me and I will know if it is right or not as this is my field of expertise.

If I’m asking it how to perform open heart surgery on my cat, then sure I’m probably going to want several second opinions as that is not my area of expertise.

When using a calculator do you use two different calculators to check that the first one isn’t lying?

Also, you made a massive assumption that the stuff OP was using it for was something that warranted fact checking.

I can see why you would use it. Why would I want to search Google for inner joins sql when it is going to give me so many false links that don’t give me the info in need in a concise manner.

Even time wasting searches have just been ruined. Example: Top Minecraft Java seeds 1.20. Will give me pages littered with ads or the awful page 1-10 that you must click through.

Many websites are literally unusable at this point and I use ad blockers and things like consent-o-matic. But there are still pop up ads, sub to our newsletter, scam ads etc. so much so that I’ll just leave the site and forego learning the new thing I wanted to learn.

How does it work as I just copied five links from piped and five from YouTube directly into Yattee and got Failed Loading video - Operation stopped every time.

I can’t really afford to throw away a £1000 device that still have some time left on its contract.

I guess my next phone can be a pixel with graphene OS.

Any of those way for iOS?

I have another question. Why is there so little anti-Israel coverage in the MSM?

They’re committing atrocities just as bad as Hamas, yet we are supposed to applaud them?

Why when Hamas kill babies it’s Hamas’ fault, but when Israel kills babies that’s also Hamas’ fault.

If you go by the logic that Hamas’ actions have given Israel no choice but to indiscriminately kill people. Then it could be said that Israel keeping Palestinians in an open air prisión gave Hamas no choice couldn’t we?

I get that the situation is fucked, but I think we should have a little consistency. Like is it ok to kill babies or not? As if it is I know some right annoying babies that I wouldn’t mind you know…

You do realise that something being widespread doesn’t really matter here.

If a stalker wants to stalk people then they’re going to find the tech to do it, whether that be an Amazon tracker or an AirPod.

Do you actually believe that since Apple released AirTags that regular people thought yes I can finally stalk people now.

I can’t work out if your take is just based on naivety or just bashing Apple because it’s in vogue to do that.

There are plenty of things that Apple are actually responsible for that you can call them out on. You know like using cheap labour at Foxconn, their greenwashing of their reputation, there stranglehold on their OS with terms of targeted ads, their pricing, etc. AirTags is such a none issue that you take away from the actual shitty stuff they do.

That’s from someone who owns an iPhone and used to work for them. Give it some thought and let me know your thoughts.

$70+ for a gallon of milk is insane.

I’m only joking, I couldn’t help myself. Have a nice day!

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. You do you I guess.

I will say it’s not technically free, game pass has a fee, ergo you’re paying for it.

I don’t know enough, nor care enough to weigh in on the implications of this deal.

I play Minecraft Java and Factorio and really am not interested in any other games as I found these two be be good for what I enjoy and they don’t ask me for more money all the time.

Probably paid for with the money they made not paying $29B in taxes over the last 20 years.

We ain’t even playing the game with the same rules and they don’t even need to pretend anymore.

Undoubtedly, there are people dead today who would be alive if hammers didn’t exist or if manufacturers had made them softer.

Undoubtedly, there are people dead today who would be alive if paracetamol didn’t exist or if chemists had done more.

Undoubtedly, there are people dead today who would be alive if cars didn’t exist or if the auto industry didn’t lie for years about the dangers of leaded fuel.

And if Israel honours what you say Hamas wants then Israel are just as bad as Hamas, no?

I don’t know why my comment is not showing, nor your reply (only shows as a reply in my inbox but not on the post). You didn’t answer my question?

I’ll answer that.

No it is not justified.

Can I understand why Hamas would want to do this, sure , because I have empathy by the bucket load and can understand that having your land taken from you over decades and nothing changes could leave them to believe they have no choice.

Is it still wrong? It sure is.

Does that give Israel the right to use white phosphorus on the most densely populated place on Earth? I think not. What do you think?

I too miss the days of CDs.

There was even a time when Music Zone (store in the UK) would let you return cds. Well it was free reign to buy them, copy them and then return the original.

I recall having a printer that could print the album art on them.

Or even recording from the radio on to tape or mini disc. And even Smash Hits for lyrics.

You’re right, relationships with music were different than they are now.

I can’t lie though some things are better now. Take Apple Classical for instance. I can listen to the music entire collection of classical music by opening an app. It’s amazing.

Good point.

Then I’d have to buy a fucking cd player and also listen to the same damn thing every evening.

You say as you reply to a comment explicitly discussing the content of the ads.

I guess so as I have found others with no ads.
