Anything that cannot be made in a fire is only fow wittle wittle girls!

I agree wholeheartedly :)

Have you read the article? They’re claiming (!) that they would use ads on websites to use mic data. If you know anything about Android or IOS, you’ll know that you have to give mic permission to your browser for it to have access to anything. THEN the browser itself checks if a website needs access to your mic and you have to willingly give it. And lastly: Android indicates when your mic is hot with a green dot. So all of their claims are bs.

Come back if one of the OS developers admit to always listen on an OS level.

Thanks. Why I haven’t thought about putting my 2fa and password manger in there I don’t know.

That means the info is gone and nowhere to be found anymore. Yeah, post it somewhere else from now on, but don’t delete your old stuff.

Yeah, not actively supporting reddit anymore is one thing, but with deleting every comment/post you basically just hurt users. Reddit doesn’t give a fuck.

You won’t believe how often I search for a problem only to find 50 "Thank you"s for a deleted comment.

Arguing that the female version makes it a second choice and then erasing it completely makes absolutely no sense. If german was a language with no difference in gender this might work, but that’s not what it is. We have female forms for most nouns so this will not work. A gender asterisk includes all genders. The argument that it puts female form second is also week as in german the emphasis of a word is usually on the last syllable.

Like it or not, our way of talking and writing is excluding people and is biasing our perception as to which things (especially jobs) are mainly male and what are female. There are enough studies about language and gender bias out there.

Words have power and we should take it seriously.

These laws are only applicable in two of Germany’s 16 states and only for state officials and authorities as well as schools. The other states mostly critize those states for infringing on equality rights. It just bans the use of gender related punctuations in written documents and school exams. It’s not well thought out.

You can still use gender neutral terms (Lehrende instead of Lehrer*innen). It’s a big deal as those states do it to cater to right-wing voters and fish them from the nazi-party AFD.

Btw Binnen-I is LehrerInnen. Other gender neutral notations are a “*”, “_” or “:”

Fun fact: When watching the german versions of the prequels, the acting isn’t a problem anymore, as professional voice actors bring their own take to the characters and make some of it much more tolerable. Hayden was screwed by bad directing. And script of course.

That was one of my biggest revelations last year. Figuring out I have ADHD and that’s why it’s hard for me to understand people, especially in crowded and loud spaces. Sometimes I found myself simultaneously listening to music, other people’s conversations and my own conversations. Makes it quite difficult sometimes.

No, it’s not the best we have. Solar and wind are way safer, cost less and don’t produce waste.

Sure, nuclear power is safe until it isn’t. Fukushima and Chernobyl are examples of that. Nuclear plants in Ukraine were at risk during Russian attacks. Even if you have a modern plant, you don’t really think that under capitalism there is an incentive to care properly for them in the long run. Corners will be cut.

Besides that they produce so much waste that has to be: a) being transported b) stored somewhere

Looking at the US railroad system and how it is pushed beyond it’s capacity right now and seeing how nuclear waste sites are literally rotting and contaminating everything around them I’d say it’s one of the least safe energies. Especially if you have clean alternatives that don’t produce waste.

I usually enable 2FA where possible. I just counted my accounts that use them: 14. My password manager stores around 100 accounts. So, yeah.

But that’s on Valve, not Germany. Experts say they probably could have released the original with no problems back then.

It’s just a long thin mustache and he’s leaning with outstretched arms on the table.

This makes sense. Thank you!

Something I thought about recently as well. I might be wrong, but is pressure not just a differential from inside to the outside? If it gets warm, air expands inside the tire, but so does the air outside, pushing back. It kinda sounds right, but I don’t know.

Something I would’ve said. Stretching my legs and spreading my wings CAN get confusing.

Polyphonic Ringtones? Ha! We had to type in some strange numbers to get beeps to change their tune!
