BMW lobbies against non-car based infrastructure and car industry regulation here in Germany. Biggest shareholder is the Quandt family, who are descendant from literal Nazis, and now use part of their billions to fund the conservatives (at least they aren't giving it to the far-right. Yet.)

So yeah, fuck Elon, but fuck BMW too.

I think the main difference may be that SMS haven't been the default in my country practically since Smartphones came out.

With every friend, I usually also know whether they're on Threema, Signal, or Discord (Sigh). Those that remain are on WhatsApp.

Never got why people didn't like it. It made SMS feel unduly secure, and having different messenger apps for different protocols doesn't really bother me.

Dunno, haven't had one in many years. Don't think I had one longer than a few minutes ... ever. Guess I'll find out if it ever comes to that.

Gave me flashbacks about receiving emails from them about connecting to friends of mine on their platform long before I ever interacted with any of said platforms in any way.

With a properly packaged python app, you shouldn't even notice you're running a python app. But yeah, for some reason there's a lot of them that ... aren't.

Find out, try it.

I cancelled Spotify when they started pushing podcasts in my music app, with no way to turn it off.

Why pay for a service that actively pushes you towards stuff you don't want? Especially if there's alternatives that cost the same and ... don't do that.

I mean, I get it. I built the lineage OS Updates for my last phone myself when community support ended, and only replaced it last week after the screen broke. If it hadn't, I probably would have replaced the battery, has kinda gone a bit bad after five years.

Still ordered a cheap tft screen that fits it (original amoled is too expensive to make sense) to be able to use it as a backup.

I bought new this time, but mainly because I needed a new phone quick. Also wanted one of the new Pixels with 7 year software support to put Graphene on, so I found an 8a for like 400€.

So yeah, fuck the throw-away attitude towards perfectly serviceable electronics.

Huh. Only ever used their printers and their ceramic knives.

Old Android is surprisingly ... nostalgic.

What Android Version is that? I haven't seen a notification look like that in forever.

Never liked that argument. It's essentially "Why, don't you like immigration, dummy? Don't you know immigrants are easily exploited to do hard labour cheaply?"

I'm not saying it isn't true, especially in the west, but in my eyes, there are much more moral arguments for immigration.

Seconded. Have been running it on both my main desktop and laptop for five years with no issues.

I mean, he's probably gonna say "Yeah, sure, whatever" to most things the crazy people around him propose.

In a functioning democracy, a vote should be secret by default, and that should be the social expectation. If you wanna tell people, sure, but not in a way where your actual vote can be proven.

I've always used anti-abortion. Pro-life just isn't an accurate descriptor, and a "pro-life protest", or a "pro-life bill" seem like undeserved euphemisms considering what they want. Outlawing executions would be a pro-life bill.

Anti-choice is good too.

Work in Germany, both in some retail jobs as a student, as well as as a dev, sometimes in rather 'fancy' office environments. No one ever cared, though I only ever cursed about a situation, never a person.

Looks fine and upright in Thunder.

Same as it ever was.

They're pretty easy to not engage with, and for me they felt less awkward than almost any other video game sex scene.

People always focus on the romances, but I feel like you could take them out completely and still have pretty much the same great game.
