I love it. Perhaps it would have been more effective to just do whatever they did to the swings at the other parks? Either way it’s good stuff

They are more similar than they are dissimilar. Only uber nerds see the differences more prominently

Fairphone does partner with Murena for e/os. It’s pretty similar to grapheoneOS

Seems like we could all just mellow out a bit. You shouldn’t need to be afraid of saying stuff that isn’t perfectly pc now or in the past. Obviously there’s a difference between an off color joke and shit you would find in the Epstein files but I’m not particularly concerned about anything I’ve posted coming back to me. I’ve had bad takes (I’m sure I still do) and said things in the past that I no longer agree with, but who cares? That’s what life is like. You change over time in more ways than one. If someone wants to judge me harshly for that then we probably don’t weren’t going to hang out anyway so fuck em. Let them react how they want.

That being said, the implications of this kind of technology being used by corporations or the government are quite different. There may be value in what you’re saying from that perspective.

Whoever wrote that prompt seems to think that other nations having their own ideologies is the worst thing possible. That’s a common attitude regarding geopolitics that I’ve never really understood, especially from a Western perspective where differences in opinion are supposed to be seen as valuable (at least in the theoretical sense).

That kind of thing is funny if done infrequently but annoying if it’s all the time. I hope your friend does actually laugh a good chunk of the time

Amazon isn’t the cheapest option in many cases. What you’re saying makes sense if people shop around, the problem is that they generally don’t.

A ton. Where have you been the last 20 years?

Why would greedy men give up an easy way to make money?

Haha do what works for you. I was able to get into them after a long car trip where I forced myself to listen to an audiobook. After finishing it it got easier and easier the more I did it. Now I barely read physical books.

Ok. Thanks for your contribution

Not off topic at all. I have never heard of it but it sounds interesting. Thanks for the tip

Then revoke your consent insofar as you are able

Then refuse to participate. Use open source software and any other kind of system outside their control until they throw you in jail. That’s what I’ll be doing. If enough of us do they can’t jail us all. Participation is consent.

Where can you find the kind of support you speak of? I rarely call any kind of customer service line but I haven’t seen anything but the bad kind in over a decade

Education and indoctrination are the same thing from different perspectives

Haha I get that. I was the same way for a long time but gave them another shot a year or so ago and now I’m hooked. They are so much more convenient than physical books

Nice, it sounds like you’re learning stuff just fine. I recommended it elsewhere in the comments here but if you’re looking for audiobook sources I suggest checking out libro.fm. They give half of your purchase price to a local bookstore of your choice and you can download the files in multiple formats with no DRM.

Libro.fm seems to be a solid paid service. They give half of your purchase price to a local bookstore of your choice and you can download the files in multiple formats with no DRM.

Old people who don’t go to parks because there are children and brown people there like to see grass and trees too.
