I feel the same about companies like Anker's audio branch Soundcore using Kickstarter to prefund/advertise their new tech - safe to say their 'projects' are funded about 20,000%

I've used Facer, it's worth the cost if you like accessorizing regularly. It has a lot of options from indie artists, including replica OG Disney Mickey Mouse. My watch always complains about not being able to save power with 3rd party faces though, and the battery life drops about 40% to 72 hours. Worse with Facer because it's an app that's no doubt doing more than facilitating watchfaces.

Is beemp3 still up?

They're taking it too seriously lol

1. It's a budget variant,
2. The Pixel series are midrange, not high-end or flagship

This doesn't seem like that big a deal, especially as it's a software update. Easily fixable with a firmware update like GrapheneOS

Persson left Mojang because he was, I imagine like the entire Mojang crew, unprepared for the monolithic success of Minecraft. These are apparently also his reasons for selling to M$: He disliked the fame and responsibility, and wanted to return to what an indie dev always wants - to make smaller games and have a wholesome connection with the gaming community. The last straw for him was a lot of people being assholes at him just because he's the lead dev of Mojang. So, he handed the reins to Jens Bergensten. GameRant source

On an unrelated side note, Persson has got some shitty opinions, but is quick at patching and apologising for some of them. Im 2016-2019 he expressed anti trans, misogynistic and racist views on Twitter. So, he's hateful, but he supports consumers. Wikipedia source

Except in the case of employees being the 'subscription', where companies are encouraged to demand more and pay less

Cats ate his face

It's not like we'll ever create a revolutionary army and keep the law keepers in check. They do this because they think there's no consequence.

Fucking terrorists

I stepped off a one foot tall wall and fractured one of my foot bones

Just found you on Webtoon! Totally not going to binge the whole comic in an hour...

It's 2025. Fascism and authoritarianism is on the rise in my country, leading my likeliness to become part of a localised resistance army, or a 'terrorist', to rise to 40%. Being a trans woman, I'm probably already considered a terrorist by some people.

Fuck you, government. I do not respect your existence, and day by day, am losing respect for the laws you demand we follow. Fuck your rules.

Humans first

I agree that ads can help people be aware of a product's existence, but I believe, especially at this stage when I am tired of being spoonfed, that a more organic way is preferable. For example - forums, product reviews (REAL ones ofc), product storefronts including online marketplaces..

When someone needs something, they can go looking for it. A door that grates on a frame for example, may be talked about on a forum, which discusses the products others have found to help. In this case a mouse(shaped) sander. The person can then follow breadcrumbs to the most convenient store that sells it.

This is actually the way I find most things I need. The vast majority of products shown to me, passively on various items in the streets or in video format, are useless to me. Regarding VPNs, I first learned about them when I looked for a solution to a website article having an error page stating that it cannot be viewed in my country. Again when I pirated movies. Eventually I saw Mullvad mentioned on Reddit, when I entered more FOSS and Linux spaces

You know what, you seem absolutely right. I retract my uneducated statement

Of course not. Those who support the bastard leaders of Israel and their dogs the IDF are complicit in the public opinion of Israel, regardless of faith. Apologies if it sounded like I was mad at all Jews, because that is not my belief.

Edit: Also I believe I mentioned how the Nazis were right about the Jews infiltrating and destroying global politics. For this reason, and for the lack of action by the governments of the West, I reject them.

THE DEUCE? damn, thanks for this. So it's the paint from metal caps.. Maybe, now we've removed dyed plastic caps in places, this is the next target..
