Jerkoff

I wish I could post this here in Australia without getting rocks from every white Australian. You can search my post history to see their reaction to questioning this.

Australia was involved in every one of those crimes. And the celebration for those meaningless murders are everywhere. Questioning this is questioning the sacrifice of Jesus.

Though by order of our north american overlords the US should not be alone in that title.

What is your biggest "first world" disappointment?

That loud cars not only exist, but there are actually more of them than in 3rd world countries. That it's a "culture" here, and people actually use their excess money to make cars louder, bigger and more dangerous to everyone else (not the driver, he pays extra for his safety).

Coming from a 3rd world country to Australia it was one of my biggest disappointments. I thought we had loud cars because we we're "uncivilised" or didn't have the money to fix them. I was so wrong...

There are many others, but I guess this was the biggest illusion I had about first world countries.

The state of Linux phones in 2025

Reply in thread

That's a bit extreme. Some of those are not linked.

Yes you can not have cloud pictures without having to trust the server. But you can have an open source, inspected system that uses gps without any related data being shared. Gps doesn't send data, it's the system choice to create a way to send it to someone. You can have a Linux phone that doesn't chose to do that.

You can have convenience with privacy, but the companies offering those services don't want that, nor do the consumers care.

And those consumers would not care about a Linux phone.

Global Sumud Flotilla carrying Greta Thunberg intercepted by Israel's military before reaching Gaza

You really have no shame do you?

You're the same guy who was always crying "there's no genocide" until the entire world except your buddy americans agreed to it.

You are the problem. People like you give those criminals excuses to keep doing what they are doing.

I imagine you have some connection to zionists. No sane person would be so vocal in favor of genociders without some personal interest. Take my sincere disgust as a gift.

Friendly Reminder

As an older gay guy, as you grow older, being gay stops being important. You just like guys, and the other guy like girls. That's it.

And it's actually kind of annoying how some people make that their entire personality. But when I left my mom's house I even hanged porn pictures on my room, to tell everyone what I am and that I wouldn't hide anymore. So I was the same.

But over time I realised that I should never have to hide, I didn't have to keep showing either. I didn't really want. I just did it because I was angry I had to hide.

My point is; we are here. Just not that visible.

Plus we didn't have internet back then. Thank god. I wouldn't want to see again the things I would have written.

Edit, I must also say that it's because a lot of people fought for our rights. I couldn't just be a guy who likes guys back then. It's a luxury I love. I can say stuff like "my partner, he does this or that" and it never becomes "what, are you gay?" anymore. It's just like a straight guy talking about his female partner most of the times, and that's awesome. I can choose to make it my personality or not these days without having to hide.

Prusa partners with Israeli company

I had noticed how their ethical standard seemed to be going down from the kind of spam from them I've been getting. But I held then to such high regard for their old open source contributions that I refused to believe.

Thanks a lot for that into. I think I'm convinced now. No one with any ethics would partner with any Israeli company unless there was literally no other choice in the world.

I'd rather use proprietary products.

And fuck us cyclists... We get run over AND lose our hearing because we're not protected by 1ton of soundproofed metal.

And if that logic was true, we would already have a problem worse than the yank tank issue, where the cars get bigger and bigger for "protection". Every vehicle would get louder and louder to be heard above the other loud vehicles, and eventually living in a city would mean enjoying the non stop sound of atomic bombs exploding everywhere 100 times per second per car.

But unlike the yank tank issue, everyone would be deaf, and then the noise wouldn't matter anymore. I guess that's the best case scenario that those kinds of sadists hope for. They can't hear anymore, so they want everyone else to be deaf as well.

Most, if not all car companies collect and profile your data, how can I improve my privacy when buying a modern car?

Reply in thread

To complement the above reply, although you paid a lot for the car, you're paying even more daily, giving many away to very nasty companies that will turn your investment against you to increase their profit. Your data will be sold and you're donating money to billionaires.

Is that what you want? Are you happy to have ads on a windows install you already paid, for example?

Because that's what you're doing. If you got a massive discount on account of the daily extra profit you'll give them I would understand. But if not, why be so charitable to people who don't deserve it?

The vast majority of their population doesn't care about the genocide, the vast majority served in the military, there are almost no civilians in that invasion.

Why would you, if you have any ethics, partner with people with a massive chance of being pro genocide unless there is no other option in the world?

Also if it's money going to their economy, to be converted directly into dead bodies.

Censoring for algorithms

Reply in thread

Before I started posting on Lemmy I didn't know this was for monetising. I thought it was internet etiquette and I did the same. I thought people found it rude, like here you can't say retard, for instance.

You see that everywhere and you don't know why, so you start following it too. I'm happy some people complained when I did it. I feel like I've lost a burden.

I wonder how many people do that as well not knowing it's meant to please corporations.

Yes, you can test with a magnet. If it doesn't react, it won't work. Aluminium for instance doesn't work.

I don't know why you were down voted and the user below gave misinformation. I bought a non stick pan before without noticing it wouldn't work with my induction. Now I bring a magnet when choosing a pan.

Fucking cancer that still has me poisoned.

Every time I play I think "I should uninstall this garbage, this is not even a game, why am I torturing myself like this?". Then I my addicted brain goes "oh, but there's only x amount of primogems I need to get to try one last time to get this shitty character that is the same as every other one but with 1% bigger numbers. I already wasted so many months on this, I can give up now".

It's amazing how well they domesticated the human brain and that I let myself be controlled like that.

To call this slot machine, talking simulator, lollie masturbator thing a game is an offense to games.

Is he getting paid for that?

It's funny people down voting but even the "propaganda" website they mention have a lot of non China content, but this guy is 100% foaming against China as if nothing else exists in the world. If that's not propaganda I don't know what is.

I'm not a fan of China, but there's much worse evil in the world right now like the US and Israel before his brainwashing can work.

Be aware that ALL samsung phones can't be degoogled anymore. Do not ever buy samsung again if you hope to make calls.

And how do you people talk to other people? Whatsapp? Apparently that's how it is in brazil, even to call companies or support.

About the second line, "best" is being generous. I guess you mean better supported. Although for some very odd reason the internet seems to love pixels. While they are the worse phones I've used for the price after apple phones (for similar reasons).

But above all, the fact that other phones support for open source is even worse than google is why I'm considering to learn to live without smartphones. If we have to rely on google for our freedom and privacy, we are well and truly fucked. And we deserve to be if that's the case.

I always wonder if they are actually stupid enough to believe that bullshit themselves or if it's just something they use because they know the honest "I actually feel pleasure by creating problems and pain to everyone else and I am somehow legally allowed to do that" would give themselves trouble.

Either way I always wish I could stick their asses on their exhaust and rev until they blow up like a balloon

You might want to research a little before throwing up opinions.

And holy shit, I searched white Australia and there is a website defending it. I didn't click the link but the description...

White Australia is the rebirth of our Nation. A Nation is a people, and we are a people who descend from the British Isles and Europe who have made this continent...

And some imbeciles trying to blame this on Russian spies... As if Australia needed a push.
