"We only use x% of our brain."

Simply not true as shown since years by neurology

Central Europe

And many of the 1 star reviews are really well put with good constructive feedback. So no reason to delete them. Riiight?

Never owned leather shoes an all of them had a "break in period". Probably different to leather but they change drastically the first 5-10h you wear them.

What happened to him? I only know that this person was a (bad) mod on a whole lot of subs.

One does not simply "block fingerprinting". Fingerprinting is incredibly complicated and very hard to avoid. You need VPN, Browser with no extentions and fixed windowsize (tor or mullvad), frequent cookie deletion, even the installed fonts/language packs can give them identifiers...

EFF has a good test which tests your browser

After I scrolled past it once I dont want to see it again. Ideally I dont need to click anything on a post I am not interested in, not even a "mark as read" button.

I heard that the wiki foundation is pretty well off and the saleries they pay the executives are rising pretty fast. Havent donated myself but in principle I should, eventho the higher ups are earning this much.

I assume game ROMs, especially the ones by nintendo, who are notorious of letting their own history getting deleted and lost, are up there on that list.

It is but I mean reddit is only dying of people migrate to another platform. So why not using it for advertising?

Vote for better policies and laws that force companies to be better as well.

Even if we improve ourselves as much as possible: We still need the products of big corps which only improve because of (1) laws or (2) when losing money.

Are you some sort of pixel oracle? I could not read that, even if my life depended on it.

Thx

Theoretically unions are unionized workers who represent all workers. So they should do surveys from time to time about what the current concerns of the workers are.

At least thats how it works in Switzerland.

No unnecessary bloating features and very slow implementation of new stuff seems like a plus to me

What helped me: "Rationality Rules" on youtube had a video series (and even a tabletop game) about types of logical fallacies with the focus on religious apologetics.

And as you said: Upvotecount show whose opinion/argument is popular with the viewership. There can be a correlation with how sound the argument is logically.

As someone who just had an Galaxy S7 or something for 6.5 years this all sounds way overkill. I'd probably disable everything possible to get even more battery life out of it.

If someone uses this phone for gaming or working or for documenting/photographing a trip or something, then its maybe worth it but for everyday use its just overkill imo

Especially virusses and bacteria: Your immune system gets a bit stronger but organs probably have small irreversable damages because there is scartissue where the infection was the worst.

I think its because of this: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/1915960

I guess big oil has nothing against cycling, as long as its the sport and not the mode of transport...

Yes, I'll switch from Windows to Linux but at the moment I dont trust myself to be able to use Linux as I cannot code and havent any deep knowledge about cpmputers. So I hope that in the next few years there will be the compatibility and ease of use on Linux like there is on windows now.


Edit: ok, thanks everyone.

I am very pro open source and very pro linux (obiously)

With "coding" i ment doing stuff with the terminal. I am mostly concerned with stuff not working when it should and then that the fix is only doable in the terminal and requires trial and error and knowledge and so on...

I was mostly discouraged by the LTT videos about Linux as a daily driver, haming and working on linux and so on. And they made it look that you have problems significantly more frequent than on a windows machine.

And yes, i need to use full office suite, most other programms can be FOSS or linux alternatives tho.

Jacob Geller Wonderful art and gaming essays.

Lemmino, hogg and fern. for quality animated documentaries

German: Ultralativ for Medienkompetenz-Content

Nintendo already shouldnt care about it, as they dont release good emulators/PC Versions anyway.

Because of this I use Pocket by Firefox.

I know that its not Open Source and there are probably better programms but I kinda like it for its simplicity but there are also recommended articles if I have read all my saved ones.

There are many good games, paid and free but no p2w, as well. They just advertise less.

Just out of curiosity: What kind of files are you talking about?

I mean I get that if used in a context where a person does something with great risk attached and with few and rare good possible outcomes (stupid games). And then they get a bad outcome (stupid prize).

For example Jackass-like stunts.

More cheese => more holes.

More holes => less cheese.

Therefore: More cheese => Less cheese

Oh, and X% of dust is dead skincells. There is a good Veritasium video on this clai.

Tbh switzerland has a similar system to the SGAE, where there is a "hidden tax" on all devices that you can load with data. And in turn the downloading of media (with the exclusion of computerprograms and games) is legal. Only the upload of copyrighted material is forbidden.

Not a bad system imo, the tax is so small that you dont really notice it so its a pretty consumer-friendly and piracy-friendly solution. Altho I assume the swiss government gets away with it because it would be too expensive to lobby/legal for a copyrightsholder-favoured system compared with the small amount of people (let alone pirate) who live here.

I write it down if my voice tells me something I should remember, else i just let my thoughts wander wherever they want.

After a while I know what I want to do next, because boredom showed me what my body and mind needs.

The fact that CS2 feels, looks and plays the same as GO did was the biggest aim by valve and wish from players. This was the goal: Redo the game in a new engine. Thats what they did. We can argue if there are inportant features missing or not, but the same feel but reworked smokes is both a feature which most of dedicated players wished for

Thats what I do now: Click the post to read the comments, Click the icon on the top right Click Top Read the top comments.

Go to the next post, repeat.

I'd want to set a default sort option (to top) or maybe have it saved for all post or for each community separately.

The appliance in the picture is a standmixer + scale + induction cooker with additional features to do much more (if you buy them ofc). What I dont know is if the app/wifi connection is required or optional, if its required I am not buying it.

It appeals to me because you can just throw in the ingredients the appliance tells you to and after 10-20 mins you have a done onepot, soup, dough or sauce. But am worried about the software part of this becuse I am with you about those 5 years and then they lose interest. But those companies are reputable and have a long history of repairing their devices and giving new warranty on it after the repair. So that makes me optimistic, kinda.

Postal?

My Samsung Galaxy S10 has already: The bixby button which opens my calendar (no root necessary) The powerbutton pressed twice: opens the camera. The volume down button: takes a picture.

iPhone once more is just missing options and settings

I mean ok, but still a shame I think.

I am very anti monopolies but your first point isnt really a reason. There are many companies that are sistercompanies which are different on purpose. Like VW and Porsche or Dell and Omen. The different branding is normally used to get to different consumer groups.

Why?

Because if there is then the calls for a

  • minister for non-binary and intersex
  • minister for the jewish
  • minister for seniors
  • minister for POC
  • minister for car-lovers

And so on.

The only solution would be a minister for gender equality. Or social equality. And then there has to be a check, what issues this minister is working on improving.

This idea probably wont stick in the states. The workers there arent very united.
