I would agree if I hadn't had such a vast array of experience trying to counter misinformation in my online interactions with others already. I blame the bullshit asymmetry principle, aka Brandolini's Law. https://en.wi

Using rubber grommets for all my mounts has made my HDD sounds so much quieter. An absolute world of difference.

I have 2FA and only need to enter it when I first sign in on a fresh device. This is on both the web UI and the Android app.

If I had to guess, there may have been some sort of captive portal in place. I've seen even the "invisible" kind that don't require user intervention cause interference with connectivity checks for some devices.

I'd say sneaking added sugar into products is unethical, but that's probably just a matter of opinion.

"Free markets" require a perfect knowledge of all things about those products that is constantly kept up to date. As soon as a company is bought out, some brand decides to change their ingredients, or any number of other events, t

It looks like it is $399 USD, so the price point may mostly be a conversion thing. Edit: Just looked up the conversion rate, right now 399 USD is 288 GBP? Weird. The mid tier is 529 USD, so something like 382 GBP. Upper tier is 649 USD, or

I largely agree, although I would say it's less "stupid" and more "cumbersome". Nobody wants to take the time to do things right because of the effort costs, but this is going to ultimately be more beneficial in the

Tax carbon, then pay out what is collected evenly among all tax payers. The poor would stand to gain financially in that arrangement.

Until I see a subpoena that fails to yield any user information, I'll continue to be doubtful as to their claims.

Unfortunately not. And at it happened at Zuckerberg SF General Hospital. Somehow seems inappropriately appropriate.... https://abc7news.com/zuckerberg-san-francisco-general-hospit...

There are many PHEV out there with much better all-electric range. 25 miles is a pittance.

Awe is probably one of the biggest sensations one gets from psychedelics. I wonder if this may help to explain some of the antidepressant effects that are currently being explored.

You seem to be disregarding the level of influence that they had in misleading people across the board, guiding opinions toward views that upheld their position as the active incumbent of "best available energy source". They were

Last I heard Samsung devices were doing this, I'll need to see if I can find the source again. Found it: https://old.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/bpr6xs/if_you_choo... Ugh. Looks like the contents

You're probably getting downvoted for cynicism, but in this case I think it is completely warranted. I vouched for your comments.

They actively inhibited development of alternative energy sources by lying to and manipulating the public and politicians for decades. Fuck. That. Shit. Quit simping for multi billion dollar corporations who have been actively engaged in th

This is a gross mischaracterization of the call for accountability and legal repercussions.

I'm sure that's great consolation to the families of people dying in heat waves and once-every-10,000-years weather disasters. Also climate migrants will rest easy knowing that the Exxon CEO "lost support".

Boo hoo, they lost some board seats! What a world!! We treat pot dealers more harshly than these fucks. Give me a fucking break. I'm sick of it.

Where's the accountability? We're facing a global crisis. Once again, the rich are insulated from the consequences of their greed, while the poorest suffer the most. It's high time those who sold us out should have to answer
