For real, at least go to North Sentinel Island, might as well break new ground.

Image Toolbox + Aves Libre is my current setup.

Sweats, shorts, hoodies, sneakers.

What do you mean how is that possible; that guy was a totally inhuman piece of shit.

Nah, I don't think my issue is with age; it's with lifelong politicians. Introduce term limits.

And this feature was implemented into an OS you have to pay for. 💀💀💀

An interesting point against communism is the lack of drive for innovation it creates. If you're living in a truly classless society (which has never and does not exist), you have no drive to do better, there is no personal reward to innovate besides progressing your society in ways you'll likely never see / be rewarded for.

This has not been universally true among socialist states.

Ah, you know what you're clearly correct. China, who is not a communist state, has a population of a billion people, and an authoritarian regime who would love nothing more than for it to look like China's innovating having filed more patents than the next nine countries combined means that Communism drives innovation!

Besides common knowledge, you could also research why China files so many patents (subsidys per patent filed, and the fact China acknowledges utility model and industrial design patents that are not considered patents in most countries [AND these patents make up at least 75% of those filed in China, meaning their number of real (invention) patents is more like ~400,000, and that 75% is conservative.

That second paragraph isn't necessary though, your point never had legs to stand on.

For real, government funded space program ≠ innovation at scale

Same reason I use emacs org-mode 👍

Apple products are all about stupid proofing.

Where do we draw the line between a functioning computer and chromebook? an IoT device? Stupid-proofing should not come at the cost of basic functionality.

Preventing side loading protects people who don’t know what side loading is.

No, it does not. Users attempting to sideload an app would obviously be warned, not to mention various other methods of malware scanning / sandboxing which can alleviate that non-existant issue.

Those of us who want it are a vocal minority trying to screw up their entire business strategy.

Creating Fisher Price computers is not a valid business strategy, and serves as a detriment for all users regardless of proficency. User freedom is beneficial for absolutely everyone.

How is nicotine legal?

I just got up and took about 7 big huffs on a vape while making a coffee. 2% strength and my vision went, everything went black I started blacking out against the kitchen counter. Had to kneel down and wait for it to pass before standing up to finish my coffee. Fucked it up in a cloud of confusion and drank a warm milk....

amanneedsamaid ,

All drugs should be legal. Heroin should be legal. What actions people decide to take towards their own bodies are none of the governments concern (outside of offering rehabilitation).

amanneedsamaid ,

What? In what way does that have anything to do with banning nicotine?

amanneedsamaid ,

I cant find it now, but there's a great quote from someone in Nixon's FDA that basically amounts to "We were lying about the drugs to target the minorities. We knew we were lying.", some real Legion of Doom shit.

    The way I see it, community-based social media is a public forum, where every post / comment is public (Obviously less applicable on an individualized platform like Instagram). Everyone has an inherent right to privacy, but not when they're using a platform like Lemmy. Twitter and Facebook are fundamentally different platforms. You can't expect privacy while using lemmy, so use a different platform to post private content.

    I'm afraid it's Emacs...

    No fucking shit, the lack of a Palestinian State is the retarded circlejerk justification for Israel's existance. That's like asking Andrew Jackson to acknowledge Native American land claims equally to Europeans.

    amanneedsamaid ,

    Because only the moment when the final Palestinan is dead will Israel's justification for existing no longer be obvious nonsense. The best case-scenario for Israel is a successful genocide.

    The difference in reading comprehension / writing skills between Kindergarteners who went to preschool and who did not is usually night and day imo.

    "Here's what someone who has never created a private messenger thinks about Whatsapp's privacy."

    Why would anyone care about what he has to say? 💀

    amanneedsamaid ,

    Never has been, no default e2ee, and those exploits that leaked a ton of users locations.

    Not to mention, no messenger is verifiably private unless it is fully open source.

    amanneedsamaid ,

    For a second I thought an Israeli lawmaker thought objectively and proposed migration out of Palestine, but a man can dream.

    The Henson Safety Razor, a nearly 1-to-1 replacement for disposable razors, with all the environmental benefits of a regular safety razor, and certifiably BIFL ( slrpnk.net )

    When I became more environmentally conscious many years ago, I decided to switch to a safety razor to reduce plastic waste. I landed on a reputable safety razor with a 'mild' angle, something that would be good for sensitive skin. Even with a good shaving soap, I found that I would regularly still get some discomfort from razor...

    amanneedsamaid ,

    Cartridge razors are the most prevelant scam in modern society, they're more prone to ingrowns, gunk up far before the blades are actually dull (making consumers go through them MUCH faster than blades), AND costs literally 100x per unit what razor blades do. Subjectively, I also get a much closer, infinitely less irritating shave.

    They didnt depict him being decapitated, but his Snoo (i believe those are called Snoos) being decapitated. I think those are two entirely different things, especially given the french revolution theme around it.

    Admins are being pussies imo. (After making a very bad decision in returning /r/place) They are of course fully within their right to, and that's why reddit sucks.

    amanneedsamaid ,

    True, but I don't think the message comes across the same without it.
