To be fair, most phones have invasive Google/Apple/Chinese OEM services that work with high privileges and are invasive on their own, without apps. The share of people using degoog…

Statements like this are a stretch. This was not the fact of using the OS, but specifically the fact of wiping it. The situation is atrocious enough as is, no need to make up addit…

> Much like with artists 90% of the commercial stuff - copy/ads with generic guy in suit picture - will be AI that is "good enough". Eh, wouldn't be sure. Every time I see slop in …

> It's important to remember that to this day, streaming sites do not have a full archive of the music out there. And even if they did, you'd still need to pirate a copy of your co…

"Eat less meat, smaller homes, no flights"? Sounds like an average person to me because of poverty, lol. Even my family, well above the threshold for poverty, has to do this. "Elec…

Big thanks for clearing that out! Makes sense.

> The fact that BlueSky runs the PLC central server is supposed to be fixed by them creating a swiss association to run and control it instead, but while they announced this, it is…

The answer here would be "there's no such thing as a generic "server" like in ActivityPub because it's split into different components, of which a PDS is only one". Honestly my mai…

I didn't mean anything exact, more like a joking suggestion. But yeah, if we're talking seriously - seems like this boils down to a ton of luck (good genetics and a secure enough e…

The best biohacker is some 100+ year-old Japanese lady who just eats healthy and avoids stress

It's funny how I haven't even clicked on the article yet, but the title and this first comment IMMEDIATELY made it clear which guy this is about

I don't think it's generational. I got the impression it's a share of about every age group. Also, ownership can be a side effect for even those who don't care, just because they'r…

I see nothing wrong with abandoning physical media - as storage got larger and internet faster, being limited by clunky disks has become kinda pointless unless you're specifically …

Why would anyone use slop alternatives though? I don't think people wouldn't be creating non-slop ones.

Lol, relatable. For me it's not the library (because I have backups of that), but the in-game items. And not even for their monetary worth (which is relatively low), but for sentim…

Profiles are a thing in "stock" Android too, they just don't have the toggle to disallow them working in the background, the "Install available apps" option and Google services als…

Can confirm Graphene also has it

I see nobody saying "good afternoon" in a grocery store , that's the one place where you keep interactions to a minimum. Also, self-checkouts are not always an option because at le…

Also "Father hiding behind his newspaper at the dinner table" has been a meme since forever.

> > They keep them in while ordering and paying for things in stores and supermarkets. > As a GenYer I find this rude and I'll take them out any time I interact with someone. I don…

I know Chrome has some additional limitations, and in a vacuum MV3 doesn't break UBO as hard - but is blocking of the "Element picker" part of that or inherent to MV3? I rely on th…

Yeah, it did shut down :( Ever since, I haven't really found an English-speaking replacement. Rutracker has the absolute majority of what I need but doesn't have some newer America…

I only used Rutracker and Rarbg (rip), TPB felt sketchier. I wonder what's the "prime" English-language public tracker now? 1337?

I don't think I'd prefer this, tbh. I would want to see the whole topic information when choosing what exact torrent to download. Is it marked "verified" or "questionable"? If it's…
