“Twitter should be the global town square”
“free speech absolutist”
“make humor great again”
“leftists are snowflakes”
Sure, he doesn’t force anyone to use Twitter. It’s still unfortunately the de facto communication platform for a lot of government agencies. It’s still an important tool for the world. Let’s hope some large governments (EU? Please?) grow balls and leave Twitter alltogether…
This is absolutely newsworthy and worth being upset about.
That one guy’s dead wife obviously.
Dutch can do the same. You can just keep slapping words together. It never ends.
Not to argue about the privacy issue, but aren’t there better options than a towel? Get a phone without camera? Get one of those phones with physical switches for sensors? Get graphene OS and don’t install anything but signal? I feel the towel wrapping is not the best solution for your privacy issue.
To be honest, selling copied games also paid for my games, my CD writer and then some when I was 14-15. Took ages to copy a single CD, and it would regularly fail, but friends happily paid me 10 euro for a working copy of the latest fifa.
Screenshots are so much faster than a link though on a phone. I do crop mine before sending, but I send a lot of Screenshots in my group chats.
Where I work, it’s a non issue. As long as it doesn’t impact your work and nobody notices it (foul odor or behaviour), nobody could care less.
To be honest, books are the only form of media I don’t pirate. They deserve my money. Sucks that I have to use big shops to get them digital, but it’s so easy…
After some more thinking, I guess the original piracy has to come from somewhere :)
Genuine question : why not just download a pirated version of the book then? Seems like a huge hassle for the same end result
While it was an interesting read, the article is quite outdated and the author is overly negative of literally everything, not just privacy. If a browser has a glowy button, it’s horrible because it’s too fancy… I feel for the guy…
I tried using it. Putting my phone down on any surface would trigger it. Made my biometrics completely useless. Too sensitive on my device, even on the lowest settings :(
My Instagram is full of fitness content (and good looking people tbh). Nothing comes even remotely close on pixelfed. No offence to federated social media, but we all ain’t good looking :) (or suck at using filters…)
It’s still a very long way off from taking over Instagram.
Lemmy has a hardon for FOSS, and an irrational hatred for windows.
Aside from that, it’s quite nice imo
Being overly Paranoia? Can’t think of another valid reason.
Swap to a 0 calorie version and just keep enjoying it? Fizzy drinks are a pretty harmless vice in the grand scheme of things. Hollow calories, so if you can replace it with a 0 calorie version, it would at least stop affecting your weight.
I know everyone is against artificial sweeteners. They won’t kill you faster than microplastics, pollution, break pad dust, war, alcohol, smoking,…
Enjoy life! Enjoy a fizzy drink! I thoroughly enjoy my daily coke zero can.
I also prefer electric cars, but goddamn if I haven’t gotten a heart attack multiple times from a sneaky silent ev fly past me minding my own business walking on the road. (not every road has sidewalks in the non-US city where I live)
Don’t want to get into a whole argument, But ltt suggested to stop throwing dirt. GN turned around and just continued slinging dirt. Just feels weird to me.
A whole lot of shit slinging at LTT for no real reason. At when LTT rebuked the claims and suggested to stop doing so and work together in the future, GN just decided to double down and continue.
A bunch of childish stupid drama tbh, but very one-sided.
Fair enough. It’s still more news than the endless reporting major news websites do (I’m looking at you bbc) about his fucking tweets.
But I can see your point that it’s not very newsworthy on Lemmy (nor is this new btw, he has done similar shit before)
