  • They're Chromium based, which erodes any possible claim they could make to privacy.

    Use Firefox instead. You can lock it down further than you can Brave and they don't rely on Google.

  • They literally invented MAID so that people with terminal cancer can take the painless path out, but now it’s being discussed for literally anyone who is feeling mentally unwell.

    The people opposed to medically assisted death used this as an argument against it. I disagreed with them, didn't expect that to really happen.

    I still don't disagree with its use here. If a person's life is not their own to take then they have no autonomy at all, but still.. it's jarring to see it actually being used this way.

  • There's a relation between voltage and current you don't quite understand. They both matter. If you're interested check out ElectroBoom, learnelectronics, and Great Scott on YouTube. Watch enough and you'll get it.

  • A pocket knife and a small flashlight. You don't realize how often you could use either until you have them.

    My knife is an Opinel #8 ($20) and my light is an Aurora A33 ($20).

    I carry a bag most of the time, so I've got a little extra room than most, but I'd probably still carry both if I didn't. The pocket knife is the size of, well, a pocket knife and the flashlight is only the size of a sharpie.

  • If you ever have to resort to the knife resist the urge to push it against the toilet. If it cuts through suddenly the sharp impact from the blade could crack the porcelain.

  • A lot longer ago Whatsapp wasn't a Facebook property

  • Just because you don't have the attention span to not react to every input you see doesn't make it a dark pattern. It means you need to be less impulsive.

  • Well then, anyone have this code archived? Time to make sure it makes it to torrent networks. The only way we render the DMCA irrelevant is to make it useless.

    Make sure to keep the checksums in place.

  • It's ramped up pretty considerably lately.

  • There's no such thing as nuance any more. If you accept that nuance exists then you might have to accept that [acceptable opinion] might be wrong, and it might be wrong a lot.

  • Or the ownership you defend. You won't like how you'll have to defend it, though.

    It won't be the pen.

  • Not when the text says "hey, do you want to share your email?" and there's a big button that says "no, just take me to my results"

    This stupid shit is the reason we need warning labels on things. They're not there to protect the idiots that drink bleach to get rid of covid, they're there because idiots will drink bleach anyway then blame Clorox for not having the label they wouldn't have read anyway.

  • Well this whole exchange was definitely the dumbest pedantry I've seen today.

    Well done.

  • Well a few years back a group of really nasty people tried to murder every Jewish person. Then a thing or two happened, the USA nuked a few cities because the State in which those cities existed allied themselves with the people that wanted to murder all the Jews.

    Now, we have the back of the Jews, and one of Hamas' stated purposes is to murder all the Jews. Makes sense we'd be interested in keeping that from happening. Genocide is kind of a bad thing.

  • People that don't get enough sleep still suffer from it, they just might not be getting headaches.

    Keep yourself hydrated and get more sleep. Take care of yourself.

  • The simple answer is really, no. Colloquially if you say "American" you're talking about someone from the USA. We'll further segregate ourselves into the States we're from, which isn't that different a distinction between "European" and "German".

  • The divisibility of 60 is useful, too. It has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (plus any combination of the above) as factors making dividing time a relatively simple operation.

  • If you're supporting Hamas you are evil. I don't have any interest in any nuance in this situation. They are terrorists that use human shields. There's nothing you can say that makes that ok, full stop. You are one of the evil people if you agree with Hamas.
