Plus the 5 years of warranty and 8 years of updates really makes it a phone to last.

I just switched from OnePlus 7 to FairPhone 5 because the battery on the former just wasn’t holding up anymore. If that becomes a problem with my new phone, I can just switch the battery and keep using it.

Megaparsec, kilojoules, kilo electron volt,… are all very common.

Then on the other hand, giga solar masses is never used.

Who switches to miles if they initially use km? They’re the same order of magnitude.

Personally, the gym is not good place to process things for me. Running works much better, especially without music.

Gym is great for self esteem though and the feeling of working on yourself. It definitely has a positive impact.

I definitely recognise this. I’m a problem solver by nature. So as soon as a thought would pop up that I felt that I couldn’t handle, I just pushed it away.

But of course, these thoughts didn’t resolve themselves so they just stayed there.

It’s still not easy for me, but now when I have such a feeling, I just let it free. Most likely it won’t get solved, some things just can’t, but I get used to them, find a place for them, and in some rare cases even make it my strength.

Just because your question isn’t stupid, doesn’t mean it’s not ignorant.

Downvotes weren’t a thing in Reddit is Fun? I definitely remember downvoting things using RIF right until the end.

To me, I will downvote things that do not deserve any visibility. Such as things that are factually wrong, things that don’t contribute, overplayed jokes, hateful posts,…

The difference between piracy and having your content used for training a generative model, is that in the latter case, the content isn’t redistributed. It’s like downloading a movie from netflix (and eventually distributing it for free) vs watching a movie on netflix and using it as inspiration to make your own movie.

The legality of it all is unclear and most of that is because the technology evolved so quickly that the legal framework is just not equipped to deal with it. Despite the obvious moral issues with scraping artist’s content.

Follow up: did I do it correctly here?

No worries! I never really considered blind people browsing apps, I only became aware of the technical details since the API changes at reddit, so it’s still far from a reflex to think about.

Thanks for pointing it out though.

Someone called me out on this yesterday. On a thread about rblind, so deservedly so. I had no idea this is how it works though. Thanks!

An extra reason (or even the main one) is that we have a bad history when it comes to racial registration. The countries that suffered the worst during the Holocaust were the ones that had a registry of the Jewish population that the Nazis could just look into when they took over.

The downside is that it’s much harder to identify racial profiling at work for example. It’s also basically impossible to see if violence on POC is more prevelant.

I did some basic scuba diving and the coolest thing I saw was definitely a ship wreck. I have pictures of the dive, but they simply don’t do it justice.

This was only at 17m depth though, so risk was okay as long as you have the right training and are smart about it.

The Titanic is legendary and must be amazing to see. The fact that you’re one of the few people to witness it, definitely adds to the appeal.

Do I think it’s worth $250,000 and/or the risk? Definitely not.

For others, that amount if money is just not and issue (sadly), and the risks were not explained clearly to them.

• You want to go see the Titanic?

• Nah, it’s too long

• No, I meant the actual wreck of the Titanic

• I know. It’s like 270 meters…

No, but I do believe “Fediverse” is a reference to “faits divers”.
