No she thinks it’s fair for women to discriminate against men, “for at least 300 years”.

Sure, but where did they get my phone number from???
- Comment on I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake 3 days ago:
I never even provided my phone number to Paypal, then one day they started requiring me to use it to verify logins.

The more I hear that they won’t announce the Switch 2 the more I think they will.

Oh I almost forgot about Dirk Gently! Wish that would come back.
His furry feet in LOTR were something else.
- Comment on Daniel Radcliffe is now a Tony Award Winner 1 week ago:
Not closely per se, but bits and bobs. Horns was awesome, as was Guns Akimbo, and Swiss Army Man was a good laugh. Good Omens as a show I don’t really like overall (they basically abandoned the idea pitched in season 1 and changed things every season) but the scene with him in the Western season dancing to She’ll Be Coming Round The Mountain while wearing assless chaps, and the general character in the Mad Max season, both live rent free in my head. Also the Weird Al documentary perfectly presented Al’s on again, off again relationship with Madonna.
I would love to see him in a musical, but I don’t really go to those. Maybe not the one where he had to get his cock out on stage, but I love that he did that. Still need to see Book of Mormon (Radcliffe had nothing to do with that).
I would lose my shit if he and Elijah Wood did something together.

Absolutely well deserved.
- Comment on Japan forces Apple and Google to open their mobile platforms • The Register 1 week ago:
I’m in Europe, and I don’t use banking apps. For the most part anyway, one of my credit cards pissed me off by switching to app only, then eventually I relented with one bank because I wanted a 2nd account that required the app.
Banks either verify by SMS (lol) or provide a passkey fob.
GrapheneOS should provide some measure of protection. You can also perhaps disable some tracking features using something like Warden (requires root) - although this hasn’t been updated in years and probably misses stuff now.

Run Magisk in Zygisk mode with the deny list hiding itself from banking apps.

Lol I do run Android without Google Play Services.

Ty, but I think I’m just gonna switch from my dodgy Chinese Xiaomi phone to the refurbished Pixel 7 Pro I have. I mean, I’ve had it for like e months now, one of these days I will. Although, I really will miss my IR blaster, even though I hardly ever use it it’s nice to be able to change the TV in the pub lol

You’re still putting a measure of trust into Google with that, rather than just trusting F-Droid.
- Comment on Japan forces Apple and Google to open their mobile platforms • The Register 1 week ago:
Ah wait, I should’ve read the article lol:
The law allows local authorities to name “designated providers” of a certain scale – currently only achieved by Apple and Google – and require those providers to do three things:
- Allow third-party app stores on their devices;
- Allow application developers to use third-party billing services;
- Enable users to change default settings with simple procedures, and offer choice screens for tools like browsers;
And it forbids them doing three more:
- Engage in any form of preferential treatment of their services over those of competitors in the display of search results without justifiable reason;
- Use acquired data about competing applications for their own applications;
- Prevent application developers from using features controlled by the OS with the same level of performance as the one used by Designated Providers.
So Google already allows 3rd party app stores and lots of settings (although these are always hit and miss, even in the custom ROM scene - I can’t get pocket detection right now and my phone keeps doing things in my pocket), but the 3rd party billing and choice screens applies to them.

Downloading F-Droid from Google Play kind of defeats the purpose of F-Droid.
- Comment on Japan forces Apple and Google to open their mobile platforms • The Register 1 week ago:
Doesn’t Google already let you do this?? My Android phone doesn’t even have Google Play Services, I just only use 3rd party stores. If I want an app from Google Play I get it through Aurora.

They won’t do that because it all started with Brexit limiting access to chemicals used to treat water.

Trump supporters are a minority, so I think this checks out.
- Comment on Notice for all moderators: please check the lemm.ee moderation policy 4 weeks ago:
I find it curious that your comment has 3 downvotes, and their comment has 3 upvotes, and that you mentioned they have 3 accounts. Vote manipulation perhaps?

Ahhh yes, I think you’re right.
- Comment on Google Is Paying Reddit $60 Million for Fucksmith to Tell Its Users to Eat Glue 4 weeks ago:
Just as bad as pineapple on pizza.
Fuck you.
Pineapple contains an enzyme that dissolves flesh. When you eat raw pineapple, it eats you back. This is why your mouth goes kind of numb if you eat a lot of it.
However, with a little bit of heating the enzyme denatures and becomes nonfunctional. Thus, pineapple belongs on pizza.

Is it a lifestyle thing or a mental health thing?
Bit of both, with a dash of enablers (usually parents).

Yeah, I think they normally do full embargoes for that exact reason.

Well normally they just tell you you aren’t allowed to talk about the game period. This is a slightly relaxed position from that stance.

Oooo waiting for the spicy comments. There was a few breakdowns of this, complete with more accurate memes, the last time I saw this posted.

Moderators don’t own the community, but they own the community address - they have absolute control over it and can set the rules. If the community don’t like that, they’re free to move to a new address and make their own, with blackjack and hookers, etc.
The admin owns the instance, which in turn can overrule the moderators. If the community don’t like that, they’re free to move to a new instance, with blackjack and hookers, etc.
Basically the whole system was set up so everyone will eventually have blackjack and hookers.

I don’t think so, it also includes at least 4 trackers.
