lurch (he/him)

I managed to get some things only released in other countries thru eBay. (Phone from India, for example.)

now that you have the toy you totally not wanted, it would be wasteful not to use it!

good place for a tent to move into 😆

The laws may become too wild to support those regions or they will get their own weird distro.

Another outcome is them understanding that it’s lunacy and removing those laws, but I won’t bet on it.

You don’t need to add a birth date for a user. Even if it was a reqirement, you could put whatever or patch the open source code to not require it yourself. This is nothing but legal shenanigans, so some ppl living in these cursed regions can still use Linux.

It’s because the average got bumped up so much when your mom started programming in Python.

civil unrest is perfect. they can just arrest the protesting civillians and put them to work in the for profit prisons, leaving only compliant civilians. win-win.

only if it hits two components wired to an important circuit. otherwise it would just short circuit the taser, interfere with a dispensable component or do nothing, if it hits insulating parts.

don’t let trump see this. he will add two extra DST switches per year and rename it

lol, they can track the IMEI. the phone component still works without the SIM, for example to make emergency calls. that means it is still able to connect to cell towers and you can still triangulate it’s position to some degree.

I’m afraid, you’ll have to cut the phone in half instead. can’t be helped.

This is a setting on Android tho. You can also have a square or list button on Android and the position of that button can also be chosen, depending on version.

bro, be careful not to hurt its eyes

“only upvotes” don’t help as much, because you get a gap where ppl don’t like it. you can only use ppl who like it to sort, which may be much less than ppl who dislike it.

also, once downvoted from many ppl, fewer ppl see the content and it gets less downvotes.

actually downvotes give less “power to aasholes”, because otherwise ppl can post their evil shit like on xitter and they and the algorithm assume silence=agreement, even though agreeing takes only one tap while disagreeing requires writing a comment. this emboldens the “assholes”. they get little to no feedback ppl don’t like it. on top of it, there are ways/algos to sort by number of comments. so if ppl actually dislike it so much to write a comment, it pushes the bad post up on these rankings, shoving the horrible stuff in even more ppls faces.

don’t forget that downvotes mostly help with sorting. they don’t mean “this is wrong”. they mean the reader didn’t like it and it should be sorted further down or even start collapsed. it can just be a highly unpopular or disgusting truth ppl want to swipe under the rug. it can also be totally irrelevant or link/quote sites ppl don’t like and want to reduce traffic to or be forgotten (reddit, xitter, fb come to mind)

it’s just a quick feedback that can help the community.

idk it has clearly a snarky remark about big corpo and says the person wearing it is too busy for social interactions.

this reminds me. in the early 90s summers we all wore those tight bike shorts, a loose tshirt and optionally sunglasses and a hip bag. no matter what gender. virtually everyone. worldwide. i went to other countries; the other side of the world to visit remote family; they all had multiple sets they wore. it was cheap and colorful. it felt like the future

It’s not very nice to call ppl NPCs or soulless, but it’s not just a far right thing. Other ppl do it too. It’s just one of many ways to be mean.
