Yeah, but as government officials. Not as shareholders. Like through a warrant or whatever official process Italy uses.

Can I buy a few shares and get the same access? That would be insane.

I guess for a person who screenshots places they want to go.

90% of my screenshot roll are of horror movies I want to watch. Google will be planning vacations to abandoned houses and Antarctic research stations. Yaaay.

Where are the Luigi hot takes on Lemmy? My feeds in Lemmy and other are depressingly sparse on Luigi content.

I get one YT channel pushed to me claiming Luigi has good odds of a mistrial because of how the cops detained him. Lol, not likely but I applaud the tireless optimism it takes to think that.

I can't smell bad milk either. Also can't taste it.

I learned just how bad it was when I polished off a bowl of cereal, made a bowl up for my Person with the same milk I'd just consumed, and they spit it out thinking I was playing an awful "prank" on them. I had to convince and demonstrate that no, I can't detect spoiled milk until it's visibly bad.

I'm in the same boat; I can't smell spoiled milk. Partially that, partially I don't really like dairy milk that much, I drink plant-based milks now. When I open a new container I mark the date on it with a sharpie. Then I throw out any remainder after 14 days (or whatever the bottle says plus some).

Sweet. Thanks for your efforts, RM. Your For Reddit app was my favorite by miles and I appreciate you continuing to offer it on the Lemmy side.

Folks, this is an app worthy of the few bucks to unlock features and support the developer.

I use Voyager. Lockout specs for me when selecting an app were ability to apply a custom tag to users, and firmly holding my default view/sort settings.

I started on Boost for Lemmy after using Boost for Reddit. But I was having some issues with it and it's not actively updated anymore. Not sure if the creator is done with the project or just busy with something else, but I just checked and it still shows the last app update was in July 2024.

I don't scambait in general. One, I have so many options for entertainment that give me more joy than responding to scammers. Two, I assume much like robo phone calls, the initial communication itself isn't the scam, it's to see who responds so their contact info can be put on a list for further targeting.

Do you know anyone who actively uses Facebook anymore? Not Instagram.

I'm in the US, East Coast, and know no one here who does. I believe I still have one aunt, ages 55+, living in the Midwest, who still uses it. She's very much the stereotype, she's been sucked into believing COVID is a conspiracy, all immigrants are dog-eating rapists, and trans people are going to break in to watch her pee in her home bathroom. She represents the average US Facebook user in my mind.

A male colleague was upset he saw a new, wrapped tampon inside another colleagues purse the other day. Like, stopped in his day to complain out loud levels of upset. When he could have just ... moved along or even not peeked inside her purse sitting on her desk.

Of course women are and still will face our very existence being censored. Men are the default, women are "other", and always at the whim of men for just how much they will be allowed to exist in public.

I didn't learn to read/write it, just simple spoken conversation. I would not claim any level of fluency.

No screen wrap, just in need of a quick display settings adjustment.

I saw One of Them Days starting Keke Palmer the other day. Solid comedy, maybe a little formulaic but comfy.

Ok, now do AI. I feel like normal people knew VR was dead again 3+ years ago.

Full agree. My personal desktop is clean. My company-issued is littered with shortcuts I can't get rid of because they don't give general users that permission. I hate it so much.

As my mom was becoming an adult, women in my country still couldn't have their own bank accounts nor could they vote. So how much choice did she have? She could stay under her abusive father's control, or roll the dice on marrying a guy who had minimal red flags. They're fine, they had kids and are still married decades later. But I can't really say she was able to freely choose.

I am mixed on how they did as parents. I have no doubt they mostly did what they thought was the right thing. I just strongly disagree with them on some things they believed to be right. Like I wasn't given certain vaccines as a kid, not because my parents thought they would cause autism, but because my parents thought Hep C would only be caught by drug users and sexually promiscuous people. And their kids would never.

Aside from cost, there is also privacy to consider. Subscription home alarm systems don't fit into my threat model, personally. I focus on hardening physical access points as compared to my neighbors, and good insurance.

Just like how I only need to outrun my hiking buddy instead of trying to outrun the bear, my house simply needs to look like a more challenging target with lower yield than my neighbors. I am not going to get robbed when my neighbor leaves their patio door unlocked with valuables visible through their always-open windows.

Young Bobby was so eager for his beard to grow in, but this is not what he had in mind. being 15 is rough.

I've been told my polish sounds "old". I know only a little bit, learned from grandparents and great grandparents. However they were speaking in the early 1900s when they left Poland for the US, that's the Polish I grew up hearing.

I grew up in the Midwest where there were quite a few 2nd, 3rd, + generation Polish Americans. Now I live on the East Coast where there are more people who immigrated from Poland in the last ~20 years in addition to the generational families and they sound quite a bit different from what I grew up with.
