The other candidate will also support the Gaza genocide. Again, it's unfortunate that both candidates are evil. And supporting the lesser evil is a bad long term strategy.

But, here we are.

The Gaza genocide did not start on Oct 7, much like the Russian incursion on Unkraine did not start in Jan 2022. Both of those are tremendous blights on human rights and should be equally condemned.

Of course, voting for Biden is the only stable option as much as one may lament that it shouldn't be.

Ehh, that's ok. Slide out keyboards aside, having an on-display keyboard is a better idea by and large.

Sorry if my message didn't convey this.

I didn't ask for sympathy for anyone on this. It's more towards the process is absolutely fucking broken. It was obvious that something like that can happen to any person with more than 2 brain cells. And yet, the decisions we were made to put a person in a situation where he was bound to fail.

Some context regarding this meme. The police officer is a war veteran, who probably has massive PTSD and reacted accordingly.

Now why the hell would the police service hire a guy who is clearly unfit for service is a major American moment.

Anecdotal evidence, but I swapped out Google for DDG about 5-6 years back and haven't missed it. I do use Google sometimes but it's once in 4-5 months when DDG fails me, which is acceptable to me.

Hey folks,

This is a more general question for me to better understand the Fediverse.

If one of the popular instances decide to monetise the user data, are there any legal frameworks to stop that?

[-] r_se_random 14 points 6 months ago

Nope, that would be horrible.

One of the biggest draws of YouTube is that anyone can go and upload their stuff. We literally have youtubers who started out in their rooms with a webcam, and became big because of the quality of their stuff. This would put a barrier of entry for new youtubers to enter.

I mean, a rapist actually became the President, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's not privacy but exclusivity of data collection to apple

None of the reviewers experienced the game with Denuvo. Reviews are a form of advertisement (good or bad)

Actually, the whole Privacy part is one of the biggest gimmicks Apple has ever pulled.

Sure, it doesn't allow Meta and Google to not allow data collection, but research indicates Apple continues to collect the same amount of data. In the long run, I'm sure that Apple would also use this data to serve ads in their own way, just that they'll call it "iAds", and fanboys would cream their pants
