Trying, not releasing

The Dalai Lama references are from the Air Nomads, not Fire Nation

Most Americans are too dumb to realize the allegory in ATLA.

Messenger because everyone I know is on there.

I think it’s awesome that different Batman stories can examine different versions of Bruce and his position as a billionaire - it allows different aspects of the world to be interrogated: criminals sometimes doing crime because they know of no other way to survive in a capitalist hellscape, the apathies of billionaires to the evils of their financiers, Batman’s obsession with order leasing him to militarise the streets of the city he loves, etc.

First time I’d ever seen him host such a show and I now understand why everybody loves him - he was excellent.

If they added automatic online account collation and mass deletion I’d pay them $100 on the spot to wipe the hundreds of random accounts I have on sites/services I never use and often have never used.

How the hell does Zoom have 7500 employees??

Apples actually generally pretty good at not wasting much screen space.

Nilay’s point is that the Vision Pro is by far the best implementation of this kind of device yet - possibly just about as good as is actually possible - and yet still suffers severe issues as a result. Usually Apple waits and learns until they can launch a product that is well considered and that often shows the industry how to move forward, yet in this case it’s quite possible that they’ve actually just demonstrated that this kind of computing fundamentally doesn’t work.

Yeah I have the dBrand Grip on my Pixel 7 Pro and it’s very high quality. Very durable, perfectly shaped to the phone, and even has lowered sides to account for the stupid curved screen etc. Never been disappointed with purchases from them.

Being poor doesn’t stop people from voting though. In fact being broke because you’ve given everything to conmen who tell you it’s the other people’s fault may actually increase votership of those people.

“a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition”

Genocide is almost always committed by fascist regimes, but in and of itself it is unrelated to the political system/philosophy. You could theoretically have a perfect democracy where the people vote to genocide another culture and it would not suddenly make their political system fascistic.

Both support genocide yes, though genocide is not the same as fascism even if the latter almost always does the former.

I feel like posts like these always fail to realize how fucked of a situation US ‘democracy’ is in where you must vote for one shitty candidate because the other is literally a fascist.

Like no actually some people have decided that the entire system is untenable - they no there’s a lesser of two evils, but they refuse to partake of an illegitimate system.

1. Ubuntu wants to own snap, with their own proprietary store etc which runs against alternatives like Flatpak and goes against the FOS ethos

2. Snap is slower and worse than Flatpak (the most popular alternative) in most ways, with very few pros that will likely be caught-up-to soon too

Well they look farrr better than coal mines and plants and smoke plumes. Even beyond that I think they just look plain nice though, like when I rarely get to see some it makes me happy.

UpNote is the best non-FOSS option

Samsung Health is the only decent-good one that’s free, but I use LoseIt! instead for reasons I can’t really recall

Yep, though Google is happy to process your data in the cloud constantly while Apple consistently tries to find ways to achieve it locally, which is generally better for privacy and security but also cheaper for them too.
