Which science class did you learn that science fact in? Chemistry? Physics?

“turning revolutionary”

Please, in the West we’ve had huge societal crisis after crisis, crumbling rights, services, and stability, etc, and nothing has turned revolutionary.

You think people who are willing (if you look at supposedly developed, modern places like the USA for example) to put up with a clearly predatory evil healthcare & police system, fascist government, almost no basic workers rights, disappearing people from the streets into concentration camps, etc etc, are going to ‘turn revolutionary’ over ANYTHING?

We’ve had every opportunity, every chance to stand up and fight for what’s right for us and others, and the best we can do are a few days of mild protests with some cardboard signs (which, given how far we’ve allowed our rights to be eroded are just as likely to land us in jail, or labeled as extremists).

Turning revolutionary my arse.

Why would the electricity company making extra profits affect how beneficial the DCs are to a region?

Sure, it’d pay for a few more CEO yachts, but that’s about it.

He was god’s gift to women!

In the quote he’s not saying other jobs don’t suck out your soul, just that it’s different.

In a vacuum, not knowing this guy or the rest of his statement, I don’t see anything obviously wrong with that he’s saying.

They take a mental toll on you in different ways, but they all take a mental toll, is what he seems to be saying, and I find that reasonable.

There are people who think trying to make a career as an entertainer (like in streaming) doesn’t take any toll on you at all, and that’s a misunderstanding we should dispell.

I don’t have any context for whether this is expensive or not, but…

You’re charged LESS for fuel if you let them wash your car? …what?

Huh, I’ve probably seen it, but I can’t remember ever seeing a bloke pushing a pram here in the UK.

I see loads of women doing so of course, and I must have seen a man doing so at some point, but not often enough to have any recollection of it ever happening. Strange!

I’m sure I’ll take notice the next time I spot it though.

Why must we make everything about Americans?

Sure, the guy paid a visit, but he’s hardly a big political or social force here in Europe.

Just gonna block this account, dick move posting very upsetting phobia shit to intentionally trigger and distress people.

Hello from Manchester :-)

AccuWeather posted this meme?

I mean yeah, so long as you’re not actually giving money to the evil woman that wrote those books in any way, nobody’s stopping you from enjoying your old Harry Potter books and DVDs.

Heck, if you’re missing one you can buy it on eBay second hand, just so long as you’re not supporting the evil woman with a shiny new purchase, ya know? That woman doesn’t deserve a penny.

There’s a separate conversation you might want to have with yourself on whether your can separate the author from the work while you’re reading it, of course, and whether you’re comfortable doing so or not is a personal decision you’ll have to make for yourself.

Why we talkin bout the Klingon dilithium mining moon?

Everything’s fine on Praxis, don’t need help nope it’s all good thanks move along

The funny thing is, THIS seems to be the part the media is rolling with, but if you read the full details about what it can do and how poorly it’s made, tracking your location is only one thing to worry about (though it’s a big one to be fair).

E.g The potential for running arbitrary malicious code if one random dude on the internet (who is unrelated to the US government) has his GitHub account compromised? Daaaaaaawg

I’m sure Linux is great with headphones too, but is there really a widespread issue with them in Windows?

Obviously it’s not difficult to “recognise” a headset plugged into the 3.5mm jack, so I’m presuming the author means Bluetooth.

In general, I’ve been very impressed with the improved audio system and controls between Win10 & 11, it needed a big upgrade and we got it. Similarly, Bluetooth UI and ease of use has shot up too. The old Bluetooth UI was awful.

I use various Bluetooth audio devices daily, as well as 3.5mm audio stuff, and have various needs for routing and altering audio with virtual audio cables, etc, and it all works flawlessly for me.

I’m just one person though, not really a great sample size!

Anyway, I’m surprised to hear there’s a widespread issue with Bluetooth audio in Windows 11, given how standardised and widely used everything is these days. You’d think that’d be ironed out reasonably quickly, lest hundreds of millions of people struggle :-(

Your ISP can read any text message you send and view metadata logs of any phone calls you make. In lots of places (like Australia where I live) ISPs are actually required to keep logs of your messages and phone calls

Why would my Internet Service Provider have anything whatsoever to do with my dumb phone?

Yes, texts and calls aren’t hidden from your mobile phone provider, they never were. I agree it’s not great, and the government is likely spying on you as they have been for decades.

But alas, I don’t see a solution without using a non dumb phone and encrypted apps, which will require the internet and at that point you’ve not got a dumb phone any more.

My Nokia 3310 still works great. Sure, the government could spy on me, but I don’t discuss anything sensitive over the phone (traditionally one doesn’t, for this very reason, wiretaps and the like). It’s a tool for casually staying in touch and arranging to meet up ^_
