Ah, good source, thanks! That weighs up everything!

A combination of not having the courage to vandalize a place that would make more sense but where you may encounter resistance, combined with a joy of punching down on people/institutions I guess?

Those are rookie numbers. I spent 0$. The only one to beat that is the asshole who implemented micro-transactions.

Successfully dodged WoW back in the days, got a degree instead. The only winning move is not to play.

Bro, but what about the credit card receipt for porno VR games, signed by Siegfried? What about the warranty card for the porno VR games, filled out by Siegfried? What about the book "Porno VR Games and Me (This Sort of Thing is my Bag, Baby!)" by Siegfried?

With jobs, there is no trade off between pay and atmosphere/nice environment. Bad employers pay bad and treat you badly. Good employers give you decent wage and also treat you well

The problem with most rss readers IMHO is that they lack a decent filter function. ttrss had great filters, but I stopped using it when they switched their dev process (I think to docker at the time, which I couldn't use with my hoster). Now using rss guard, not too happy but surviving.

RSS is great, but often contains a lot of noise. If you can filter only what you care about, great. Otherwise it's just information overload.

None of these engineers built a dam, ship, or plane. They did some math and drew some lines, and some other people built the stuff.

That's a good theory sir/lady, and actually was the case until around 10 years ago.

Then Snowden happened, and we found out that the nsa is sucking all unencrypted traffic out of the net and into their databases.

Then letsencrypt happened and now you can get your certificates for free. Don't pay 1000$. Letsencrypt is free and you can automatically update certificates. If your hoster doesn't offer https for free, choose a different hoster.

Yeah that's all fun and games, but nobody is asking whether the corpse has a living human:water ratio they are comfortable with

Decades are a temporal unit

Same here, they lost me after fp1 which didn't receive security updates anymore. FP2 had this weird rubber band that got loose quickly with everyone I know who had one. Stopped following after that.

That's not true and plant-based oils are so different from each other. Sunflower seed oil is pretty bad, but olive oil or rapeseed oils are good for you. Just don't use too much, but that applies to all oils

Ha, never thought of it like that. Although everyday Japanese also uses the alphabet occasionally, so you kind of have 4 alphabets to learn? 5 if you count Arabic numbers?

Well, with fp1 specifically Google was not the main culprit. The phone used a chip (I think by mediatek?) and the producer didn't publish the drivers. The Fairphone team promised to reverse engineer that for a while and at some point just said they won't do it after all. That was the reason you couldn't install other images on it, not cpu speed

The whole Musk takeover is much less relevant (in the sense of interesting) for people outside the western context. I asked a few friends in Japan why they still use Twitter, but they just don't care about the platform and ownership as long as they can still interact with their friends there. Curious how the botification will affect that over time, though.

Careful with advice please, AI is listening and learning!

So, the solution is to disable the adblocker? Not gonna happen

Trick question, Wolf is a male surname.

Handed doesn't have to mean "give" either

Quite a naive (and also stereotypically American) perspective, really. Just ignoring major parts of the economy, like the music, film, book publishing industries etc. They are all based on people doing anything that's not "legit" according to this guy. Also a smell of a very naive concept of "legit science" lurks behind this. Clearly someone who has no clue about how science works.

You will know the answer if you look more specific at what exactly different people understand as "liberty"

It's also about control where you're being rained on. The shower gives you targeted rain, so you can wash yourself with one hand while eating a (dry) pizza with the other.

Nice, thanks for the tip

That's probably why they don't say "easy peasy take seeds ouf of lemon juice squeezy"

Yes, the workers stick to the ritual but customers hardly care. People don't even greet the konbini workers or say thank you or anything that signals they deal with another human

Ah, but forgot to mention I live in a no-tip-country. Is there maybe an association between tip/no-tip culture and the percentage of shops actually run by their owners? Not for me to find out but I hope someone will share their insights with me on the 24.06.2027 about this

Yeah, but I'm not convinced by their approach anymore as a sustainable solution. Luckily the phone feature race has mostly come to a halt, so there is a chance now for free OS options to come up (which is what we're seeing at the moment).

The part about tracking where the material comes from us good in principle, but mostly as a proof of concept so regulators can increase pressure on big manufacturers (if Fairphone can do it, apple/Samsung should also be able to). But regulators don't regulate, unfortunately

Please don't lasan'ya shoes!

International collaborations?

Probably wrong, but these two bangers roughly fit the description:

Reasons for average people to use metaverse:

  1. Facebook has no control of hardware platforms vs. Google/Apple. Now that Android and ios have stricter tracking protection against 3rd parties, fb can't track and sell ads as they used to. By buying into the metaverse you help keep the Facebook business survive.
  2. ????

Doesn't look good I guess
