Not just a change of Prime Minister like the last two times (lol), a general election of the whole lower house

Putin maybe, Kim-Jong definitely not. Just Meta’s net profit (let well alone revenue) is well over NK’s entire GDP. Even if he literally owned the entire country which he certainly does not, he wouldn’t be nearly as wealthy as Musk or Bezos.

Idk (I’m not op) but I think when people say “can I install Linux on this” everyone knows they mean gnu/Linux. Yes, if I’m picking a container base image obviously alpine is also Linux, and if we’re talking about kernels then Android is too. But if we’re talking about desktop OSes then I think it’s close enough.

Those few top people are assholes who love the enormous power they wield over PhD students, postdocs and junior faculty, and they are usually editors on those big name journals. Unlike the people who actually do the work, they are getting paid from this system.

Nope, you just can’t get a job unless you suck it up and publish in these journals, because they’re already famous. And established profs use their cosy relationships with editors to gatekeep and stifle competition for their funding :(

99% of people will buy the cheaper TV with tracking, it probably not sustainable to sell the expensive one without. This stuff just needs to be banned

Doesn’t have to be a conspiracy to have that effect or reflect that view

Overestimating it a little, the construction workers just need to be good. But there are indeed literally thousands of PhDs working on it for decades, from all over the world.

The chance that it’s compromised is small but unfortunately the chance that it would be noticed is pretty small too, nobody is reading all the source code of all the apps on fdroid

Wow, I thought the anonymousejoker was deranged but you are at least as crazy if not worse. I guess it makes sense that a niche privacy community would attract such weirdos but you’re (both) making it really hard for people to get quality information.

It’s a credit card/payment processor thing, i.e. ultimately it’s visa/mastercard, but it’s up to the bank to offer to individuals. It’s often available in other anglophone countries if your talk to your bank but I’m sure in some places they wouldn’t do that. But yeah, years ago is too long anyway.

You’re inclined to disbelieve her because it’s what you want to be true.

Etc etc.

Now that’s a paranoid take lmao

Ok? We’re not obligated to watch stuff just because it’s someone’s creative output. We don’t owe this person a paycheck through YouTube ads. Everyone’s got the right to have the necessities of life but that’s got nothing to do with this. Different people have different interests, and someone who’s really into this subject or this creator might want to watch the whole thing, but not everyone has to.

Death of attention span is real but not wanting to listen to ten minutes of bullshit waffle, please like and subscribe, for two minutes of information is not it.

I dont think that follows, people can have different needs for different products even if they think in the same way (but i agree with your overall point)

Yes, of course there are plenty of workplaces this bad, but they still wouldn’t write “voluntary mandatory”

Haha. But I mean they’re too polite and nonconfrontational to argue about less than an ounce, but an American pint is like 100 mL smaller, it’s really noticeable

British people know how big their pints are meant to be ahaha

For a criminal charge, absolutely, and that’s as it should be. But in lay terms there is a bit of a grey area. I think you can be an overworked bartender who at some level does realise that the pour isn’t 100% up to the line (so the customer won’t be getting the full pint they ordered), but is too busy or distracted or lazy to really give a shit about making it exactly perfect. Who among us would make every burger perfect if we worked fast food? None, but it’s technically illegal in this case. But a punter who’d send a pint back for being less than an ounce under is pretty rare, nobody really cares that much.

I think the real news is that the average pub goer is spending almost three grand a year. Jfc.
