If that doesn't convince your friends, nothing will.

They're chelicerates though, not crustaceans. But then again, apparently everything evolves into crabs anyway

Horseshoe crabs have been existing for almost half a billion years, I would genuinely be sad if we endanger them to critical levels

The good part about it is being more sustainable by using the same PCs for three decades.

Imagine banks, hospitals and so on regularly replacing their machines. That would be an ungodly amount of electronics

They do their best to use the number in ways no one but your contacts who use Signal can actually see what that number is, to be fair. And you're still private either way. What a phone number breaks is anonymity, which is something they don't explicitely claim to give you. (I think)

I love hiding in the bushes to take pictures of tits

lesbian bears, huh

Aw, the instance I use doesn't seem to have it (yet?)

Yeah okay, seems plausible then. It's more fun to believe otherwise though, not gonna lie. After all, there's still so much we don't know about our oceans.

Can we even know for sure that Carcharocles Megalodon is in fact excinct?

I made sure to say barely instead of not at all, but you're right, there was certainly some evolution happening

There is very little reason any app should keep its permissions if you never actually use it, is there?

Especially when most people use apps that phone home every last piece of data they give them access to.

Wasting anything that's still safe to eat should upset you

Huh, throws a server error 500 indeed.

Cool resource though, they basically list all kinds of products, both digital services and hardware appliances, sorting them after how well they deal with user privacy.

And then you add the fact that sharks have barely evolved because they've been the perfect silent killer since the dawn of time.

Another fun fact:
Sharks don't make sound. They don't have any organ for the purpose of making sound. That is creepy as all hell.

And then comes the fun part where your body, built for pure energy efficiency and nothing else, will try to offset burned calories by subconciously moving less throughout the rest of the day

First you'd need to get the address of the feeds you want. If a page provides a feed, it should have the little RSS icon somewhere. That should hold the address.

The URLs come in different shapes, some may look like this:
https://noyb.eu/en/rss

Others have the word feed in their name:
https://archlinux.org/feeds/news/

And so on and so forth. You'll see when you get a few together.

Then you add those addresses to your RSS app of choice, and that's pretty much it. There's really not much to it, it's rather simple, and that's precisely why I like it. You can then have your RSS app only load the actual content, without all the unnecessary jazz that the website it comes from would show.
I use Fluent Reader on Linux, and Feeder on Android.

Realistically, the law forcing platforms themselves to moderate better is probably our best bet, but even that is a sloooow drag.

Look at Twitter. In Germany alone there are hundreds of cases of hate speech (probably beyond a thousand now) that the courts could use to really, and I mean really hammer down on Twitter.

All of these cases combined could amount to fines in the billions, making one single country capable of destroying that platform.

That's old news by now, and nothing happened. So... yeah.

I've recently started using RSS, and I love it.

General news, tech news, release notes of certain apps I use, peertube uploads of channels I like, notifications about limited-time free games, and all of that in one place.

Pretty cool if you ask me

Ah, didn't see that one at first. Even that icon is still too different from the others though, using thinner lines and no fill. Hm
