I completely agree with what you say, but I hardly see it as better now. Big payment services (from traditional banks to PayPal) lock "high-risk" (meaning anyone who has ideas they…

Sorry but I don't want to live in a country where the government scans my face and tracks my movement every time I leave my home. Nor can I even believe I even have to say this. Ca…

Firstly, the guy never said anything about European values, he could just as well have been talking about his party. That said though, the "value" being breached here is the value …

TIL people in the US use SMS

Me too, but it's not available on desktop.

The S-Bahn is run exclusively by the DB subsidiary S-Bahn Berlin

We have this in Germany at some stores, such as Kaufland. They're sold in a section called "Die Etwas Anderen", which means "The ones that are a little different". They're sold at …

That's just typical formatting in some languages, like French...

As a relative stranger to Twitter, I can't help but feel a thread of Tweets is unsuitable for telling this story, surely he should just write an article about it rather than have i…

If there were no health effects of not sleeping besides having that "gained" time taken away at the end of life, I would absolutely do it. I'd be spending more time in my 20s and 3…

For me it's the groupthink mentality where anything but the status quo is downvoted to oblivion. Other than that I don't get much out of the site, because most the subs I would enj…

My two favorites are the aforementioned WW1 one and the other one on the Pacific theater in WW2. I already knew almost everything he said in the WW1 one, whilst knowing almost noth…

He was the same on Rogan. He has Asperger's and finds it difficult to hold a conversation

This is what I always say. The only people more annoying than his fanboys are the people that passionately hate him and want to tell the world about it

I am outdoors for 6-7 hours on most workdays and I never use sunscreen. I get burned once or twice in May and then I start to tan. The only time I use sunscreen at all is on my nos…

The only notification I've been getting in the last 2+ years is calls. As for everything else, I just open the app/program when I want to check what's there. It means I check my me…

The issue, as the article says, is that the law doesn't define what an insult is. That means that a death threat or saying "you're stupid" could potentially both be prosecuted unde…

I don't know of any in English; here's a German one. https://m.tagesspiegel.de/politik/pimmelgate-um-andy-grote-t... I

Here in Germany we once had a guy have his apartment raided by 6 cops because he wrote a tweet to a local politician that said "You're such a dick". That's all he said.

The best alternative is to use Aurora Store. It's also the only way to use the Play Store without a Google account connected to your device.

I took my music collection offline at the start of this year, so I would lose my final reason to "need" to carry a smartphone around. It took me about 16 hours over two days to pla…

This is actually quite a nice book review, or advertisement for it. I'd quite like to read more reviews like this. It's not like I haven't looked for book reviews before, but they'…

Imagine you are sitting in a movie theater, watching a movie. You are so engrossed by this movie that you are totally focused on it, and forget you are sitting in a movie theater. …

Loading a webpage slower isn't going to do anybody any good, especially not when someone is trying to complete important tasks. If someone wants to decrease engagement with the int…
