I have a first generation kindle that I bought 16 years ago. They used to be awesome, and Amazon shaped the way ecommerce worked. The lesson here is not to be fully dependent on one supplier, not to boycott everything just because it’s big.
True, I meant anonymous in the sense that participants are not generally identifiable by one another.
To an extent. Lemmy is a useful substitute for reddit because it’s anonymous, so I don’t know and to an extent don’t care who I’m talking to. With messenger services it’s a different use case, I need the exact people I want to talk to on there, or it’s essentially worthless.
That’s what YOU get since you’re neither in China nor Japan. They only get to see their relative government’s name. China in fact gets to see nothing since they block Google, but it you happen to be in Hong Kong or Macau, you would.
Nah. I’ll start boycotting google when there are useful alternatives. Amazon, facebook, reddit - no problem.
Google search - fine, I can get by with DDG or Yandex. Gmail - sure, whatever. Maps? Organic Maps (and other openstreetmaps front-ends) works alright for getting your bearings, but it’s a far cry from useful for finding businesses, and terrible for navigation. Waze used to be the only viable alternative, but ever since Google bought them, it’s hard to justify a full boycott without massively inconveniencing myself.
Same for meta as a whole. Facebook and Instagram, sure, no need. But living without whatsapp is simply impossible in some countries, where it’s the de-facto standard for communication, and even used as the only means of contact with government agencies.
I’ve had them in Nigeria where you basically just boil them peeled in salt water and then mix into freshly boiled rice and eat it with some type of beef stew as a main course, and in China where you boil them with their shell in a mixture of water with black tea leaves, dried chillies, Sichuan peppers and salt, then let them cool down and eat as a snack.
Fully agree, ideally sardines in oil or mackerel in tomato sauce with peas (not sure the latter is a thing outside of northern Europe?).
Toast needs a health layer of butter to keep the sauce from mushing it up as well.
Didn’t actually know about Aqua Panna, that’s the only one I occasionally consume when going to a fancy Italian place where this is the default when ordering still water.
I’d say a good 90% of the rest is completely unknown to me. All the rest that I do know seems to be overprocessed junk food that’s easily avoided by buying fresh ingredients exclusively.
What screens are you talking about?
Psssst before one of the repost bots snatches it up and posts it on xitter.
I guess around 8-12, sometimes more, rarely less.
The company might be terrible, but most of their buyers are normal people who either don’t know what brands belong to them, or don’t care enough to carefully investigate everything they buy. And those normal people are the ones the ads need to reach. If they leave twitter, what’s the point of advertising there?
LOL. Next they start burning books?
This fucking clown is going to push the whole world into a new recession.
I have cables that are 15 years old and still work. Not USB-C obviously, but A-A and A-B, but also some USB-C cables that are close to 10 years old now and came bundled with some OnePlus phone (the 3 I think?).
The key to not breaking cables is to not roll them up tightly. If you need to transport them, put them very loosely into a bag or something, and everything should be fine.
I’m using the cheapest 2m long cables I could find online, they don’t fail if treated correctly.
Never bothered with the app to begin with, the mobile website works just fine.
He’s too vital to hope for a biological solution anytime soon.
There’s 6% wanting to leave Denmark, but that’s not necessarily joining the US. There has been a minor independence movement, but never really got traction.
Another 9% polled as “undecided”.
Probably more like people complaining about Windows, and others recommending a switch to Ubuntu or something.
There are several definitions of casualty, some mention “serious injury or death” while others refer to “death through injury, illness or violence”.
So the his statement is at the very least not obviously misleading.
