I really hope the EU and other countries start blocking Twitter and censoring this oligarchical fascist from spreading his shit on them. It needs to happen immediately, not after it’s too late.

Everyone shit on Elon for buying and tanking Twitter, but his investment bought the election and has reached billions around the world. Don’t treat him like someone that’s just making wild statements to be brushed off. People will agree and it gives them a voice that will spread. Shut him down before you can’t.

There’s already enough living space. No need for more infrastructure.

Can anyone explain to me what makes TikTok and now this RedNote so much better than the other short form options (YT, Insta… others) that people think learning a completely different and unfamiliar language is not only viable, but the best option?

I want to learn another language for travel purposes, which to me makes sense. I’ve never had the itch to learn one so I could use a social media platform.

I’m not a musk defender, but…

Defends Musk.

Joke’s on him. I quit before it was Meta.

I think if anyone is to blame, and there are people, it’s not Jack Smith. I feel he’s one that actually did try and got fucked at every turn by corruption and Canon.

I do agree with the sentiment and all of the points are valid. I think talking about it as secession detracts from those points. Highlighting that California pays in way more than it takes is important especially in the context of not receiving aid for malicious reasons.

We shit on Texas everytime they talk about seceding. Don’t be as dumb as those people.

I think that exactly what they are saying, but it misses the whole point. Yes, either protections would be great to prevent against this and no it’s not illegal, but it’s heinous and TikTok should be lambasted. The poster is essentially victim blaming because of their assumed jobs, pay, and because their misfortune is not illegal. It’s just a really bad take, even if it’s not technically wrong.

You’re not doing your home country any favors. Your inability to understand the situation is astounding really. Where are you from that made you so damn smart?

I agree up to the point that someone could use Facebook for the parties and stuff, and then not use any of the main page stuff. I have Messenger because that’s the prime option for those I know, but I don’t use it for anything but messaging and don’t have a Facebook.

I will give this a good look. Thanks for the detailed response. I’m working on degoogling, but some products I’m not willing to move on from because the quality is just better, so I’m happy to have something to look into here.

That makes sense. I never put any thought into it other than knowing I had to carry it.

Usually if there is a lien against the title, you’re required to carry full coverage, and liability only when you own the title.

Can you give me an alternative that you truely think is better than google maps, not just alternative, something that is objectively better?

If they allowed users to select a default, almost everyone would select Google maps and get a better experience. By not giving the user a choice everyone loses, because Google maps is still going to be the top option. I’m surprised that this functionality either doesn’t exist already or isn’t allowed, because capitalism.

She was a 22 year old student. Nowhere does it mention her financial worth. It’s very likely she was there studying abroad and it was a subsidized trip. If not, vacations to Thailand are not prohibitively expensive. I’m certainly not rich and am squarely middle class, but my wife and I can afford to vacation there and it wouldn’t be close to the most expensive trip we’ve taken.

Your accusations are baseless and you’re just glad someone died because they died. Kinda gross.

It may be. I really don’t know much other than Atmos sounds amazing.

Googles propensity to create and destroy tech at alarming rate aside, what is there to be gained in immersive audio? Atmos sounds borderline real in a good setup. What are the current limitations for high end HT audio that this is looking to improve upon?

Edit: so I read it, and it sounds like this is a push for an open source audio standard. If that’s the case, then as much fun as dunking on Samsung and Google is, I support the endeavor, at least in theory.

He just needs a firm reminder from a true patriot at the end of their rope.
