Your coworker may have small testicles.

Rats fed 100 mg boron/kg/day as borax in the diet, but not 50 mg boron/kg/day, for 30 and 60 days showed testicular atrophy.

Sorry. I tried to find out what would happen if you swallowed borax. There are several other reasons not to, but I couldn't stop picturing a conspiracy theorist talking about chemtrails and taking a sip of ball shrinking juice. Maybe he even thinks that it's from chemicals in the tap water and therefore increases his borax dose.

Pretty much. While I wouldn't say that I'm obsessed, I would greatly appreciate it if usage increased. I wish open source software was the norm.

This is very common (compared to the rest of the population) amongst Linux users. Some people therefore feel the need to spread awareness.

Google in 2008:

By saying “common”, we mean to include names which are in widespread daily use, rather than giving immediate recognition to any arbitrary governmental re-naming. In other words, if a ruler announced that henceforth the Pacific Ocean would be named after her mother, we would not add that placemark unless and until the name came into common usage.

You're thinking of Molly-UP. The regular Molly and Molly-FOSS now both support UnifiedPush so there's no need for Molly-UP.

This is my emergency fallback but I wouldn't recommend it. The software isn't reliable, is known to hallucinate and files can easily get corrupted. Do not use it for anything important.

They still haven't fixed it.

It's not open source

Google is not making a profit from RCS, but they don't have to be loosing money either. I don't know the price Google is charging telecom providers. It's either very cheap or for free. That's why many telecom providers choose Google's solution. I believe that Google is treating it as an investment. I assume that Google plan to charge more in the future or that they want data from the users. Maybe both.

Telecom providers know how to do all of this themselves, but it's going to cost more money than using Google's solution. Someone else can absolutely start providing RCS to telecom providers but they will have a hard time trying to sell it to telecom providers if they're not cheaper than Google.

I think you may have misunderstood what I wrote.

Snapchat makes money through showing you ads. RCS is something very different. It is not social media. RCS has no ads in the same way that SMS has no ads.

Telecom providers have to spend money to support RCS. Telecom providers don't want to spend money on RCS if it's not going to earn them money. They believe RCS is not going to earn them money because the customers aren't interested. The customers aren't interested because they can already chat with each other through social media and chat apps.

I worked for years in one of the biggest in telecom companies in Europe. They supported RCS for about 2 years, before they stopped. I tried to restart the project, but there was no interest. It is viewed as a waste of money since customers already use Google Messages, iMessage, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat and WhatsApp.

I'm not going to use a proprietary protocol to chat through Google's (Jibe) servers running proprietary software. Even if the messages are e2ee, Google can still collect metadata. Google never provides anything for free and collection of data is kinda their thing.

I don't think it's big enough to have a noticeable impact. It's estimated to be between 5000 and 50,000 people strong. South Korea had an estimated population of 51,430,018 in 2023. That would make between 0.0097% and 0.097% of their population a part of 4B. So a tiny fraction of the population might have gone from a fertility rate of 0.72 to 0. That's between 3600 and 36,000 fewer kids.

When I tried to find out how many people were a part of the movement several sources had old estimates because the movement has supposedly almost died out in South Korea. So it might be even less that 3600.

You did WHAT??

You can reduce some of it, but not filter them out entirely. The closest would be to add for example Donald, Trump, Elon, Musk to the title filter, but titles like "Are Swearing In Ceremonies Over Yet?" would not to be stopped by the filter. You can add specific communities, domains and users if they post about Trump and Musk, but you would end up missing huge amounts of posts that is not related to Trump or Musk. And it would still not be very effective.

Go to "Settings" and then "Post Filter". Tap the + in the bottom right corner. You can then for example tap the field where it says "Title: excludes keywords" and write Donald, Trump, Elon, Musk and save by tapping the icon in the top right corner. You will be taken to your list of filters where you can select the one you just made. Choose "Apply to" and select where you want to use this filter. After that you just restart the app.

I'm assuming the price is lower just to gain some loyal customers. It's a tried and true strategy. If they were in the same position as Nvidia they would absolutely charge you like Nvidia is doing.

Android recommendations for next version:

I suggest QR Scanner because it can both read and generate and does not ask for network access unlike Binary Eye. It has a nice and intuitive UI but also manages to do advanced stuff.

Thunderbird is already on the list but there's an android version now. It's based on K-9 and has gotten really good for a mobile e-mail client.

I know a lot of people like Breezy Weather (I was one of them) but the simplicity of Bura makes it perfect in my eyes. The fact that it doesn't have a graph for air quality or animated lock screens that match the weather makes it a fraction of the weight, really fast and does not ask for even half of the same permissions. I switched to Bura after noticing that it doesn't need to run in the background since it's so fast when you open it. It's still prettier than the absolute most basic ones though.

Norway has some of the lowest in Europe. Less than a third of Germany's prices. Norway is producing more (hydro) energy than it's able to use.

That's why it's exporting some of it to other countries today. Before Norway did this their prices were even lower.

Truly a shit post

privacy.resistFingerprinting breaks a lot more than just themes. Many of the weird problems reported in Firefox (and forks) are just from enabling it.

It has some pros but also TONNES of cons. Everything from a completely blank page to wrong timestamps to poor textures and so much more. Sometimes you will be flagged as a bot and prompted with literally infinite puzzles, thus effectively banning you from a website.

Some of these problems get fixed but new ones also get born. I personally use it but I also expect breakage and worse performance.
