Just a language thing tho, in my native they are called hunchback whales 👀 not quite as impressive

They added an option to subscribe instead. Pay a monthly fee, get access to any and all dlc.

I dont love their monetization model either but I understand the need for financial return on the investment of continued development.

Their name also kind of sounds like a middle of the pack car brand

Interested myself. So far I had only good experiences as a customer, though i hear they are pretty rough towards vendors. It is also widely accepted where I live (EU), which makes it very convenient.

But i am always eager to stop using a corporate product or service.

The contradictory goals for privacy displayed here are caused by corporations and intelligence agencies lobbying behind closed doors to get that data. And with the think of the children / anti pedophilia rhetoric people blindly agree. Because who wants to be against something that helps to protect kids right?

In Germany we have the wahl-o-mat, translates roughly into elect-o-mat.

This is a website loaded with all available parties and their political demands. You then answer a few dozen questions to identify your own opinions on the different subjects and then runs a comparison. You then end up with a tiered list of political parties you align with the most.

Perhaps a similar tool exists for other languages and countries as well

What did you imagine?

Got it, just switched over myself because I liked the differences in the description. Thanks for letting me know!

Am somewhat late to the (third) party, why are most people here using a newpipe fork? Is the original compromised somehow?

Not sure if that is an option for you too, but I have a scanwatch light myself. It is a hybrid smartwatch, being a classic analog watch with a small black and white display in the background.

The scanwatch products are health focused, allowing the user to track a variety of health stats like heartrate, activities and sleep analysis. It is very energy efficient, requring a a recharge about once a month in my case.

It is noteworthy that the hybrid concept makes some cuts to the smartness of the watch, for example replying to messages from the watch is not possible, only reading them as they come in. It doesn’t have touch functionality either, instead you control it with the bezel.

You can configure in the smartphone app which apps are allowed to relay notifications to the watch, giving you the option to filter out most noise that is not relevant to your mom. You can also set up activity plans to track and/or remind her to engage in some moderate activities like taking a walk.

Do note though that the watch asks for a subscription for some premium functions, like workout plans and more in depth health analysis. I don’t have that myself either though, being able to generally monitor my activities is enough for me. The watch also relies on the paired smartphone for its gps functionality, without the phone it would essentially be reduced to a classic wristwatch.

I think he does alright, everyone has a bad day now and then. Can’t blame him for slipping once

It seems insane to me that Americans use pesticides on their own garden and lawn. Do you not walk on there? have your kids and pets play outside? What are you even trying to kill with the poison?

Thanks guys, let’s hope I can figure it out (have only used the DL with GUI)

I was just alluding to our racism 👀

Do people also view kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species as “ranks” of some sort, with some intrinsically greater value being given to some over others?

Well, for humans we most certainly do

Ah fair enough, that makes more sense then. Read it as an argument for the free market

You dont have those things not happen any more because of the stock market, you dont have to endure those things any more because regulations prevent it.

I can guarantee you 100% that if corporations could use child labor again, or dump rats in a meat grinder and sell it, they would in a heartbeat.

It is at nobodys cost, there are no actual people involved here. And why a hypothetical sex worker would be sweating in church is also quote obvious unless you are intentionally obtuse:

If they go to church, they are religious. If they are religious then their occupation is heavily at odds with their faith, so naturally they would be sweating bullets in a church, provided they believe in that mumbo jumbo, because their all seeing god (and possibly the congregation) are silently judging them for it.

Also the status quo doesn’t need to be “challenged”, sex work is legal and normal where I live.

How is this slut shaming? Its a humorous saying. No religion is very accepting of overtly promiscuous people. Try not to overthink everything

I dont think there are many scenarios where a dog frequently shits inside a human dwelling. It is a valid point though, perhaps they tested that too (dogshit smells in an enclosed space, gotta envy those researchers)
