Oppo A54 5G with the associated Oppo Watch.

I like mostly that it's an decent affordable 5G phone that came with a smartwatch on my contract.

What I don't like is its tendency to overheat when the hotspot is on. The specific one I've had has had problems with its charger, but I'm not sure if that's a general thing or a misuse thing or what. My watch also has a tendency to reset and erase itself if you look at it funny.

Overall rating: 3/5 (1/5 being the Doogee I had once that had adware integrated into the OS).

That's exactly the point. The reason "coloured people" isn't okay is precisely because people like that moron use it.

Because it's all signalling, there's nothing really there to get. The reason "people of colour" is okay and "coloured people" isn't isn't because of any real difference between the phrases, but because people who use the former are generally supportive of them, while people who use the latter aren't.

I use Revanced, personally, but also have NewPipe installed.

Opposition to gay marriage was fairly common in the early and mid 2010s. It was only legalised 8 years ago in the US, and so, in 2016, it was still a live issue.

Yes. That is political affiliation. You might not share it, but whether same-sex marriage should be legal is absolutely a political question, even if it is now outside the Overton window.

Personally, I'm not sure I support any form of state marriage, but if it exists, it should include same-sex marriage.

That's definitely what it should mean. -oid means resembling or pertaining to, it's not a diminutive.

It's currently deemed a flawed democracy. That is, primarily democratic, but with some authoritarian or illiberal features.

Extinguishing an ideology is not murder. I don't support it (I'm a moderate leftist myself), but it isn't murder.

I never expected to have a use for the de dicto - de re distinction, but what he wants to do is eliminate leftists de dicto (that is, make it such that there are no leftists) rather than de re (that is, take everyone who is currently a leftist and make them not exist). The latter would be murder. The former is not, although it can still fuck right off.

Yeah, Lemmy doesn't have everyone over from Reddit.

I trust America more than China. If some foreign government has to have my data, I'd rather it be America.

Well, yeah. It was the cool new thing, now it isn't.

By extinguishing leftism? Then there would be no left without a single murder.

Choice 2. 5 is ridiculous and more harmful to the fediverse than the worst case of EEE.

A new EU law has restrictions on gatekeepers, and using ActivityPub means they're less likely to be deemed gatekeepers.

No, it doesn't. The 100M is real. Musk really fucked up, Zuck took advantage of the opportunity.

Disagreement isn't misunderstanding.

All of Tumblr saw it that way.

Those of us who don't think it would be disastrous have read the article.

Yeah, that's my line. I'm happy with federating with Threads, but not being Threads's bitch.
