That requires that you trust the app vendor not to have some sort of back door, no?

I think that would release an awful lot of carbon 😓

Sneakernet is OK, but I still prefer IPoAC.

Full interface overhaul? Maybe . . . ? 🙏

I mean, fuck Apple, but …

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Still, though — fuck Apple.

Background on the Vice stuff for those interested 👍

Never heard of Meshtastic before, quite the rabbit hole, and sounds super awesome!

Had a look at your other thread (not a member there so seems I can’t comment, or maybe it’s just my client), and trying to understand what you guys are using these for.

Official site says “Hiking safety GPS”, something to that effect, but all this talk of “local topics” has me confused. What’s your use-case?

1. Most of the world uses Google.
2. Everyone must accept Google EULA to use.
3. Google adds arbitration rule to EULA.
4. Google adds “EULA covers all Google subsidiaries and partners” to EULA.
5. Google sells “partnerships” to every company that can afford it.
6. Profit.

Partner killed by a faulty Ford truck? Never signed a Ford EULA? No worries, Ford is a Google Partner™! See you in arbitration, bitch! 😂

No, no! You see, the specific combination of sounds that we use to identify and address a given person shapes that persons body, especially their facial features!

How else would you explain how every person over 50 named Henry looks exactly the same‽ Or why people over 50 named Charles and Charlie look so similar?

I’m 44, and have a friend who is 43, and has the exact same name, and everyone we know always comments on how they’re 100% certain we will look like twins in 7 years.

It’s just science. Get your head out of the sand!

Hell, I wouldn’t be the least amount surprised if everyone over 50 named Gretchen not only look identical, but are also the exact same height. I guess that’s an idea for their next study. I can’t wait to be proven right.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to read how my day tomorrow — and, incidentally, that of the other 1/12 (roughly) of the planet born with the same zodiac sign — is going to turn out.

That’s actually pretty good. And then they’re open to getting sued when caught.

I guess it could be done on an instance basis, although I’m not sure how happy fediverse users will be if their instance has an official policy of open-sourcing (or maybe it’s public-domaining?) all their content by default.

The meter in this rhyme is terrible 🙄

I feel the same way about MeGusta — x265, always great size/quality ratio.

Thank [some deity] for video chats, those little bastards couldn’t spell to save their lives 😅

Thank you! I still feel old, but now I don’t feel bad about it 😅👌

Link to source if your client, like mine, doesn’t play the audio.

And apparently I’m already too old to get the reference 😓

Does remind me a tiny bit of this classic gem, though 😊

Isn’t that a bit too much like beating a dead horse?

Lifetime jail + lifetime jail for X generations of offspring, depending on severity?

Or instead of jailing children at birth, maybe just confiscating X yachts, depending on severity.

Games?

Much better, very good detail 😅

How about ‘artist’s death’, full stop?
