  • What do you think about no preservations from 100 years ago? 1000? 2000?

    We could certainly continue to live and evolve and make the same mistakes again without such history. But it gives us historic context, fills our curiosity, and allows us to analyze long term developments.

    Video games are a cultural good. Like music. Music was, is, and remains part of our culture. It enriches us. It's useful for entertainment, for creativity, for curiosity, and to share culture and interests with one another.

    I imagine preservation fulfills our innate desire to collect and preserve what we gained. Loss of what we find meaningful or influential sparks negative emotions.

  • Why does the repo have a different icon than the addon? Very confusing.

    I've been using Gesturefy for many years. I'm making heavy use of next, prev, close, reload tab actions. Sometimes I use primarily keyboard, and sometimes primarily the mouse. Left or right hand, combined, or just one of the two. I love Gesturefy.

  • It's because they represent the people that they have to investigate whether the platform acted as a neutral platform or as a manipulative foreign agent sabotaging society.

    • Awareness of influence - of private and foreign huge social media platforms onto public discourse, opinion development, and political landscape
    • Increasing foreign agent campaigns to influence and sabotage Europe governments and society
    • Increased awareness of such foreign influences
    • Unexpected/Unpredictable shifts in popularity [is how I read it]

    with many concerns focused on how a TikTok campaign managed to propel an unknown candidate from obscurity

  • Looks like the target page got removed. It no longer exists, nor does a search yield an article on their site.

  • What question are you asking?

    If that's how you understand communism/a communist country to be, and that's not the case, then obviously evidently it is not a communist country.

  • I didn't read it as with urgency like "breaking news!" but as an assessment or statement. Which seems fitting for "documenting stuff".

  • FYI you mixed up the link and label order on [https://blog.bayareametro.gov/posts/us-dot-highlights-infrastructure-accomplishments](US DOT highlights infrastructure accomplishments) - in case you want to fix

  • I stumbled over this video going over what's in the leaked data dump (14 GB of text) and potential consequences (it's pretty good/concise) [timestamped]: https://youtu.be/j84gB2cbNps?amp%3Bt=474

    Before the timestamp is more info on how their platform works and how they got hacked.

  • Hi Kima!

    Are you flipping out? Do a flip! 🤡

    What made you go for a flip phone? Looking at a review of the Cat S22 Flip, was it its robustness? Or physical input design?

    I'm surprised such a product line is available again. Not in Europe though.

  • Are you sure it's not a whool sheep? 🐶

  • It's bad publicity. A failure to protect their customer data and people may cancel due to it or evade them in the future. It's also an opportunity to report on or discuss their other criticisms.

    I can't speak for them; but it still seems like viable and productive activism to me, whether they do direct or indirect [monetary or personal] damage or not.

  • It's not even a blow to his pocket if monthly pay continues. They modified the chat service, not their payment operations.

    If it's only email addresses and chat logs I wouldn't call it doxxing either.

  • Damn pesky nose stealers! That'll show 'em!

  • Do they drop coins when you punch them? Like in a videogame?
