how does my "neighbor" hear my private telephone conversations.
You mentioned a Bluetooth issue. Do they have a hearing aid that may be your phone is broadcasting to via Bluetooth by mistake?

That's a convenient sound bite that really ignores actual data on renewables.

Sunak proposes raising smoking age every year to create 'smoke-free' generation
Reply in thread
Yep, arresting a 47yo for smoking will be very on point for a broken clock.
Keep in mind, this will be policed only on poor ethnic minorities. Rich white guys in their private club s will still smoke with impunity.

Is saying "Don't need to know hebrew to know the Holocaust was bad" antisemetic?

Not anti Semitic and even worse, it was a deft destruction of a gatekeeping argument.

Which if they were practically feasible, still wouldn't be running for another ten years. Whereas the time and money and resources looking for breakthroughs in that ten years, could easily go to renewables and hey, they don't need a breakthrough solution for nuclear waste. They already work and already are cheaper. Literally the solution. Right there.

Africa’s first carbon-removal plant
Carbon capture has had trillions and decades and still can't reach reasonable efficiency rates. Certainly real world performance is nowhere near what it would need to be to make a contribution to the environment.
The companies investing in CCS are the companies mining fossil fuels and natural gas. They are using CCS to divert funding away from renewables and to greenwash their current mining operations. In most cases the material captured is used in further mining operations. Like a 2xdmg to the environment bonus.

No one in the history of civilisation has complained about too many broken chips in a bag.
When people started complaining about the amount of air being included in the bag, "prevents broken chips" was the bs marketing PR line put out. It's just not true.
You know the easiest way to prove it's bs? Pringle's have introduced more air into their cans at the same time. Why? To match the shrinkflation of their competitors. Because adding air to a can of Pringle's can only result in MORE broken chips. Which, again, no one in the fucking world has ever complained about.

Canada faces down 'bullying' from Facebook owner Meta as it pursues Australian-style news content laws
Don't look to Australia as the example. The laws resulted in just paying Murdoch news to stay in power and our news feeds have turned to shit.

Has anyone had any luck with the Google Pixel 7A fingerprint sensor?
Are you using a screen protector? A lot of them make the fingerprint reader unusable.

Current state of Reddit
Reply in thread
A lot of third party integrations to improve accessibility for visually or physically impaired users were caught up in the restrictions designed to destroy RIF Apollo etc. Spez vaguely said reddit would fix that, but it basically just resulted in improvements to base reddit for those users thrown into the bottom of a low priority dev list never to see the light of day.

Sure, that no doubt helped. But it's a cult game that's quite well designed. I'd say that's 80% of it.
