Western authorities have been harvesting data for a few decades from social media so any complaint that singles out Chinese apps doing the same is obviously rooted in sinophobia.
The fact you think my joking about racists doing that is pathetic shows which side of that assertion you fall.
That sinophobia isn’t going to stoke itself!
he was a piece of shit who at the very least abused his role and power over women.
And bombed a pharmaceutical factory in Libya to distract people from the fact he couldnt keep it in his pants
That chocolate ain’t gonna pay for itself!
That’s them being an elitist prick, full of English exceptionalism.
You could look through their previous comments and find that they invariably wear the badge of “political moderate” but their world view based around their superiority seeps through eventually.
I’m not in the US so that’s your first fuck up.
Secondly, the misused ‘they’re’ was me not proofreading autocorrect too closely while I was on the train this morning.
You sound like one of those butthurt centrists.
There appears to be a lack of “centrist”, non-political, or right-wing voices (and I don’t mean extreme MAGA-type views, but rather more moderate conservative positions).
TBF, they don’t exist.
They’re might be some that on appearance hold reasonable views that are considered centrist /moderate conservative but if their privilege is questioned or their fragile egos get scuffed, they always and invariably go full on far right.
Their moderate views are just a veneer that are held to appear as such and never stand up to pressure.
I’ve asked those people “why do you lock the toilet door?”
Its not even defeatism, its willingly sacrificing themselves to the machine in hopes it will be merciful!
If it wasnt beaten by this, it comes a very close 2nd: “Firefox is trash at loading HTML websites”.
You can tell that fucker spends their time gibbering techno waffle bollcoks to old people!
The council being cheap lazy bastards have said ‘ooh… More temporary signs. That should work!’.
Restaurant owner: speed camera to dish out fines. Make them pay!
Road design should be that it’s impossible to approach that roundabout at speed. All good road design dictates driver behaviour, not allow them to make rash or irrational choices that endanger others.
Reddit admins have already put things in place to counter editing or deleting comments.
I deleted an account from 2011 yet when I searched on Google for “site:reddit.com account name”, it listed loads of posts with their previous content (I used the script that changed all the contents before deleting).
All SM sites have been doing this for a while: they’ll shadow delete your account but will retain all the data.
It’s also an accessibility feature so people don’t have to do the invariable up and down from kerbs into the road when using mobility aids or pushchairs with kids/shopping etc
One problem no one has mentioned, is that it also makes life a lot harder for homeless people.
But to those who organise those systems, they’re not consumers with disposable income or a credit line to spend. They are happy for them to fall through the cracks and people not using cash penalises them further by eradicating charity and widening divisions.
It is functioning as designed.
I never experience that when cycling in Europe, only in the UK but then Europeans don’t have that culture war bullshit of “the war on motorists” that’s leaned into heavily by the right wing press.
Tesla sales are down & stocks are piling up: https://sherwood.news/business/elon-musk-tesla-extra-inventory-satellite-imagery/
Cybertruck issues piling up: https://www.fastcompany.com/91109879/a-timeline-of-tesla-cybertruck-problems-from-rust-to-hail-damage-to-pedal-recalls
And you can find endless videos on all SM about how they bricked within hours of delivery
A substantial number are turning into paperweights within hours of delivery so their value has already tanked
Those owners are only going to have them for about 4 hours after delivery when the truck will die for a multitude of reasons anyway!
Exactly. If critical mass is achieved inorganically, it would result with a reverse in uptake & possibly even a revolt against it.
You can lead a horse to water… (but a pencil must be lead)
I was reading a good blog the other day from a guy that runs his law form entirely from a FOSS stack from home & uses ‘hugo’ to generate flat html files from markdown for his blog & mkdocs for static files.
