Yep, it’s mostly that. Like a movie/show/anime protagonist narrating their reasonings and thoughts to the watchers, except there are no watchers and you are just talking to your inner self.

Sounds like a close story to what happened in Spain. Fascists failing to get majority despite their best efforts will never stop being amusing.

Israelis have lived in fear of terrorist attacks for too long

And Gaza lived in fear of being bombed to the ground and murdered by the Israeli government for too long, while at the same time having all of their land stolen.

And who’s land is it then? Third generation Israelis whose grandfathers just decided to take already occupied land? That’s a funny bit.

I love how Israel is supposedly the victim all throughout their short history, yet, for some strange reason, they always gain something out of every conflict they, supposedly, get dragged into.

Edit: plus, it’s stupid to think that the israeli government didn’t want this to happen. They knew that oppression would lead to a response, and that response would justify further attacks on Gaza until they gain full control. For countries like that, what’s a few of their citizens’ lives in exchange for power? The US taught them well in that regard.

I am speaking of the regular ioniq 5 here (which is still expensive as fuck), but I also hate how they have to strap every little shitty tech like Tesla just to try to both one-up them in terms of “wow, look how cool this [completely useless garbage] is” and to turn something that already worked (like the mirrors turning into fucking cameras) and was fairly simple into something that is fucking expensive and harder to repair.

Always tried to try neovim but felt kinda overwhelmed since I was always a jetbrains/vscode kind of guy. Never knew there were pre-configured setups. I’ll give this one a try, thanks!

Edit: and I’ve just seen it supports Vue, fucking great

The spanish right has no moral ground to stand on for MANY things. The problem is that they continue to act like the past doesn’t exist and they have never done anything wrong. Hypocrisy at its best.

I think our choices don’t matter. Unless there are actual competitors with actual relevance in the industry that do the right thing and we are not priced out of supporting them, the only way is to make laws against this crap. Not that it’s easy, but it’s the most realistic way, I think. Unless, of course, we all join together and look for a way to make ethical clothing that is not too expensive (all while praying that the big brands won’t crush us with their infinite money)

Yeah, in Spain the main rightwing party is shifting more and more towards Trumpism, while the ultrarightwing party, Vox, has always been a bad copy of Trumpism.

Also, I’m definitely spending money and my PTO for what’s going to be quite an unpleasant experience. There are many places that are beautiful and culture rich as well without as much unpleasantness.

The Russians lost 19 million Russian civilians in the war, why would they care about the Jews?

Nevermind the fact that it was Russia itself that treated (and keeps treating) its soldiers as cannon fodder

That’s a fair question.

Usually not much, so I have too started to log in far less frequently. However, as an example, I did get in touch once again with an old friend thanks to it (and we are still in touch), so it did help quite a bit in that regard. But I understand your point and I have been thinking about leaving the platform anyway due to all the privacy shitshow.

It’s not the same and you know it. I have the same issue with Instagram. Many of our interactions through the platform come from us reacting to each other’s content (posts, stories, comments). Without that you lose a lot of “spontaneous” interaction.

Because religion is still the brainwashing machine that set it in motion.

Saying that it’s all because religion and not blaming the father is stupid, but so is ignoring the importance of religion as a control tool.

It’s funny seeing the replies to your comment crying about “not brigading” but then the vast majority of the comments in this post come from hexbear users commenting tankie shit

I mean, almost complete disappearance of smaller phones is kinda puzzling?

Yeah, my bad there, I understood the previous comment as somewhat of a “Well I don’t understand how people can like big phones”.

My guess is, as with many other things, corporations pushed towards a certain thing (big phones in this case) enough to make it the default and then the bigger audience just stopped caring as a result.

It is interesting indeed, but I guess that’s just it, aside from the obvious fact that the bigger the space, the easier is to design stuff (my previous comment + better heat dissipation + more space for cameras), so probably a mixture of all of these things together and a couple more.

People want big phones for some reason

Bigger battery, better for content consumption and overall usage if you use it frequently. It’s not that weird, yet you treat it as if we were talking about aliens.

I’ve had both iPhones and Androids at several points in my life (just recently switched from and iPhone 11 to an S23 Ultra).

For the most part, I find Android devices to be plain better. More features, more freedom… you know, the usual. The only thing I find to be better on the iPhones is that, as a frontend developer and someone who loves seeing nice UX on apps, I feel like 3rd party native apps are usually much better and much more frequent on Apple devices than on Android ones. When I participate in macOS development communities, it also feels like devs enjoy much more developing for macOS/iOS/iPadOS than the alternatives.

But as said, as a device, I much rather prefer Android phones.

Samsung has its own “Smart Tags”. They should be better than Tile, since they rely on the Galaxy network and many more people have Samsung phones than Tile devices, but it’d be nice if Google released one compatible with all Android devices, instead of being stupidly tied to a specific brand.

Haha, I’d very much appreciate it myself if it were the case. I don’t think you are losing anything if you try to do so.

It has worked so far because the videos used to be good and years ago Youtube wasn’t as competitive. From then on, once you amass a decent amount of subscribers it’s fairly easy to ride the wave. It is also worth mentioning that his videos are very obviously focused towards “casual” audiences, most of which won’t even know when he is showing bad data or doing a poor review.

they call nVidia names all the time, and keep bashing its practices.

Sometimes? Maybe. But let’s not pretend like they haven’t been called out by the community multiple times for being “too soft” when Nvidia pullsed some shit, even when other reviewers did complain.
