My calc app also has its privacy policy there. It says

OpenCalc does not collect any user data.

Which is funny because that’s a GLOCK, which is an Austrian pistol.

It’s even funnier that it’s a Chinese vehicle.

How was this not tested by Microsoft in a virtual environment with a large set of test conditions before it was released? Does this not happen?

I don’t expect that Microsoft checks CrowdStrike’s software before CrowdStrike pushes their updates.

TrickDacy ,

You’re getting downvoted because many people’s brains are so tiny they think if you explain something then you obviously love it

archomrade ,

How tiny does a brain need to be to make this comment on a platform that is free and open source?

TrickDacy ,

Yeah see it’s super solid logic – if someone explains something then they LOVE it. They fully embrace the way that it is and WANT IT TO BE THAT WAY FOREVER. Explanations really can only be traced back to evil intent.

archomrade ,

“You either pay for an app with money or with privacy” is just factually incorrect

There are lots of apps that do not require you to pay for with either your privacy or your currency.

Example: you are using an open-sourced application right now that is both free and private.

TrickDacy ,

It is not free. It takes a ton of time to build and maintain this software. And people including myself do donate to help out.

If you’re thinking all software developers will switch philosophies suddenly to think like you, I don’t really know what to tell you other than that will absolutely never happen.

Ps. Did you really think there was a chance you needed to remind me Lemmy is not commercial software?

Pps. I typically use boost to view Lemmy and that is commercial software. Showing there is no need to expect everyone to develop all software for free. $3 was a fuckin bargain

archomrade ,

labor value != commodity value

If you’re thinking all software developers will switch philosophies suddenly to think like you, I don’t really know what to tell you other than that will absolutely never happen.

Nobody is suggesting otherwise, it is simply incorrect to say the consumer always pays for an application. There are many apps and software that is free to use and modify, and you do not always pay with your time or your privacy.

Ps. Did you really think there was a chance you needed to remind me Lemmy is not commercial software?

It was a convenient counterexample to the point being made.

Pps. I typically use boost to view Lemmy and that is commercial software. Showing there is no need to expect everyone to develop all software for free. $3 was a fuckin bargain

Yup, but Lemmy itself is free to use or adapt.

TrickDacy ,

It was a convenient counterexample to the point being made.

Well no, it wasn’t. The original point is that is Google’s business model. Not that this business model is inevitable in every case.

archomrade ,

Lmao, idk bud I think you’re reading words that aren’t there.

TrickDacy ,

It goes without saying that Google made it. If you somehow didn’t know that, it was all over the thread.

You’re making the assumption here if anyone. “that app” does not mean “all apps, period”

dev_null ,

This is Google’s calculator app, so it’s just the default calculator app on many phones.

Raab , to lemmyshitpost in Virginia is shrinking!

Moved to this God forsaken state from Wisconsin 4 years ago and God do I regret it with every ounce of my being. Someone take me back to cheese land please

TheBloodFarts ,

What brought you out there?

Raab ,

My girlfriends is from here originally and moved to WI in the 6th grade, we moved out here to reunite her with her entire family that lives here. We both regret it dearly

edisondotme ,

Why?

Raab ,

I won’t go into detail but the state, people, and family are, let’s just say, sub par compared to Wisconsin.

Lost_My_Mind ,

You say you’re from Wisconsin, but thats the most British answer I’ve ever heard.

Raab ,

Lol I can see that. Let me persuade you. “Put ‘er there bud, let’s go out for a fuckin’ rip on da lake and then cook up some brats on da grill afterwards, and by gosh don’t forget to tell yer folks I says hi when you see dem at Sunday mass!”

Lost_My_Mind ,

You’re missing at least one, but preferably multiple “Don’tChaKnow”. I grew up watching Bobbys World. If that show taught me anything about Wisconsin, it’s that the moms use “Don’tChaKnow” as often as Hulk Hogan uses “Brother”

Raab ,

Oh there’s many I missed haha, Don’ChaKnow, Ope, plurals on everything even if it doesn’t need a plural, You’se Guys, etc etc

Evil_Shrubbery , to nostupidquestions in Yesterday in Kroger (a supermarket for you non-Americans) I saw a bunch of cans of potato salad. Why would someone buy canned potato salad?

Canned goods are great, they last, keep the nutritional values, packaging can be recycled, etc

The ‘they last’ means also less trips to the store, and less logistics is good for everyone and everything.

Unless canned food is acidic, then the cans are layered in plastics & are basically plastic bottles with extra steps.

Perhaps there is even an argument to be made how a large scale industrial processing can be (which doesn’t man is, but in proper countries it should be) much better, not only precise, but clean, with in some cases inherently far better ingredient quality (at least because of timing the ingredients), and more efficient too. It just takes less to implement an extra precaution or control in such an environment vs a big kitchen (or just someone mixing the ingredients at the store).

Often canned goods use no or at least much less preservatives compared to ‘fresh’ counterparts, simply bcs they just aren’t needed (and either way it’s cheaper to perfect the mechanical preservation processes than adding extra stuff in).

Also I really wanna open that can now :).

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s about what’s being canned, not the concept of canning.

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Yes, I was saying that it seems (imho) a good food to can and have stock at home.
People live different lives, or perhaps even have cooking or mobility limitations.
Or for situations like sailing of the grid where you can’t reasonably store potatoes.

I presume potato poisoning from badly made cans isn’t a thing for at least a century … If that’s not the case, then I’ll store my potatoes as vodka (I know, I know, most vodka isn’t potato vodka).

Guy_Fieris_Hair , to aboringdystopia in What fresh hell is this?

I thought it was the color scheme that was hell at first.

dafo ,

It’s some fresh hellish bug that Android has introduced, it’ll adapt the theme based on your wallpaper. It’s a bug because it always chooses that 70’s brown color. And yes, before you ask, you’re not able to disable it. You have to reset your theme everytime you change your wallpaper.

TrickDacy ,

it always chooses that 70’s brown color

No it doesn’t. Apparently you like brown-heavy backgrounds but want to deny it?

dafo ,

My backgrounds have been me and my son, dressed in blue, against a green garden background. There’s barely a pixel of brown to be found, but I always get that poo coloured nightmare.

TrickDacy ,

I have always been able to see why it chooses the colors it does. For example I’m using an aerial view of earth and it gave me blues and greens. Also it does give you a choice of multiple sets of colors so it’s weird to me that your experience is that you get nothing but the same brown every time.

SuperSpruce ,

I have the exact same color scheme, set up to match the color of the Triumph Street Triple that is my wallpaper.

slurpeesoforion , to nostupidquestions in Yesterday in Kroger (a supermarket for you non-Americans) I saw a bunch of cans of potato salad. Why would someone buy canned potato salad?

It’s German potato salad which is even less salad like than American styled potato salad.

Cheradenine , to nostupidquestions in Yesterday in Kroger (a supermarket for you non-Americans) I saw a bunch of cans of potato salad. Why would someone buy canned potato salad?

A couple friends and I would get together for drinks, we all love to cook, one topic that frequently came up was ‘stuff you hated as a kid’. Then we would meet the next week and present a good version of that dish. German potato salad was the only thing no one could make edible, it just sucks as a dish.

So Kroger decided to make it worse I guess?

deranger ,

German potato salad is good, though. I’ve never had it inedible. Nothing mind blowing, but it’s fine as a side.

Skill issue?

Potato salad (European) is perfect along whatever you’ve put on the grill.
