Reddit and Lemmy are pretty much the only two I still use.

I keep up with people I need to through WhatsApp so I don't need Facebook and the like.

iVerify vice president of research Matthias Frielingsdorf points out that while Showcase represents a concerning exposure for Pixel devices, it is turned off by default. This means that an attacker would first need to turn the application on in a target's device before being able to exploit it. The most straightforward way to do this would involve having physical access to a victim's phone as well as their system password or another exploitable vulnerability that would allow them to make changes to settings.

Just a bit of alarmism then, with something that can be easily removed in an update.

Collecting the wanted posters.

Well, it's all part of the Olympic spirit and what it's all supposed to be about.

Competing at a high level but with graciousness and respect for each other.

It's from the badminton. The Chinese player was in the semi-final against Carolina Marin of Spain. Marin had won the first game and was leading in the second before having to retire injured.

So He Bingjiao held up a pin with the Spanish flag on it as a mark of respect for Marin, who should really have been in her place on the podium.

Well, it sounds better than "Bing it".

If you have a passion for something and the means in which to pursue it, I would go for it.

Think about how you will feel in the future if you didn't pursue it and left yourself with questions of what could have been.

Is he taken seriously? Most of the stuff he says is ridiculed.

I find paperbacks more comfortable. Though I have just bought a Kobo so I'll probably be using that more soon.

I'm always suspicious of people who make a show of their philanthropy. It just makes it seem like they're either exploiting people for their own gain, or they have something to hide and are trying to do so with philanthropic work.

I'm 6'2". Do I have height privilege?

Then I understood that "male" and "female" are not so much biological facts than a state of mind.

The entirety of the animal kingdom (of which we're a member) would disagree with this.

If you think Apple doesn't track you, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Hard to do on an Android phone.

This is doommongering nonsense.

I'm no climate change denier at all, but the idea that the planet is basically going to be unliveable in 10-20 years is ludicrous.

Even the most pessimistic of scientists don't believe that.

Does it hit anyone else like a bolt of lightning that probably I - we - won't die of old age?

Wait, do you actually believe this?

The confusing thing for those of us not from the US is that Americans use "liberal" when they're often referring to people who are socialist.

It doesn't really make any sense.

I'll have you know, Rockin' All Over the World is a fine song.

But only after you've provided your ID.

Many Chinese manufacturers don't have close ties to the government

You sure about that? How do you think all these Chinese companies just magically appeared from without significant investment, most likely from the CCP?
