Not all humans or dogs have meat based diets nor is acidic fertilizer a problem for some crops. A different issue is that there are some parasites that spread through the use of human feces as fertilizer.
Lol do you live in a bubble or something? You do know how big the USA is right? Most of the EU fits into Texas alone. Some of us who are rural have a lot of land and don’t need privacy fences.
And the U.S. has an area of 9,833,520 km^2^, meaning the U.S. is only about 2 1/3 times the size of the E.U., and that makes me realize:
That dude clearly knows nothing but propaganda, and this is actually why it’s so dangerous. His perception of the real world is so twisted that he doesn’t even see the basic geography of the world for what it is. Those land mass distortions were often pushed on purpose for racist reasons, i.e. Africa has typically been portrayed as a smaller continent than the rest when that is… not… true… at all…
So follow me here, this guy is very likely racist against Europeans.
When he himself is most likely an American White guy.
And? It’s silly to bail on an app you’ve been waiting for months for because “data collection” lmao (Data collection that was probably in the original boost anyways lolol)
Why is that silly? It’s an individual choice, but for many of us that’s a huge turn off when we are striving for less of that in the world and there are alternatives.
rofl one can still try to minimise data collection as a whole. Because one party spies on me, I don’t have to let everyone do it. Lmao. You’re just bringing whataboutism to a legitimate concern. Lel
We do what we can. Privacy is not go full on paranoid or go home. I might have worse data collecting pos apps that I definitely need on my device but I at least use FOSS softwares from Fdroid whenever I can. It helps.
It’s literally less than most cups of coffee to correct that issue forever. Ad supported software is standard practice for the last 20+ years, having the option to cheaply opt out of it completely is actually uncommon and shouldn’t be completely glossed over like it doesn’t matter.
Yeah I’m more than willing to pay for apps, but I hate spyware. I wish instead of ads there was just like a $5-10 price, or a subscription of like $2 a month or something along those lines. (Idk what the actual cost to develop the app is, I’m just spitballing prices)
The ad library is only used when it is calling for ads. The paid version doesn’t call that library, so it isn’t present at all. The developer addresses this on another post.
I haven’t yet looked into the lemmy client, but they don’t necessarily have to call any function in that library for it to be active.
On one hand, there are the class variables in Java. When a class variable (a static one) has a value assigned at the place where the variable is declared, and the assignment is the result of a function call, afaik that will run when the class is loaded, which is basically every time the app is run. Same with static blocks.
On the other hand, on Android an app can have components that are automatically run in certain conditions, and which can be added by any programming library you have added to your project.
One such type of component is the BroadcastReceiver. These are mostly run on certain events broadcasted inside the app or through the whole system, but now I don’t find whether any of those that Boost reddit uses are started by systemwide broadcasts. The other is the ContentProvider. These are started every time the app’s process starts, but otherwise unconditionally. It’s common for ad and tracking code to misuse this kind of components for being active as much as possible. Looking at the Boost reddit app, along others it has the following:
com.applovin.sdk.AppLovinInitProvider
com.google.android.gms.ads.MobileAdsInitProvider
com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider (I think if you disable this one, the app won’t even work anymore, like with most other apps. Not like if disabling components would worth much, as this is not a privacy feature but a technical one, and the apps themselves can manage this)
That’s bog standard admob. If you have ANY app with ads on your phone you have already agreed to all of that so it’s moot.
I just paid for it the moment I bought it because I want to support Ruben. Fantastic dev overall, anytime I had an issue with the reddit version he personal would respond and either patch it himself or already have an answer
Well, it's true that the Babylon Bee is 95% complete crap. It was sort of amusing for a while, then I caught on to how they were pushing their completely idiotic politics and it wasn't very funny at that point.
That or the system is trying to wake us all up from hyper-sleep by throwing increasingly impossible scenarios at us in order for our brains to wake up naturally.
Except we keep looking at everything and going, “yeah, that makes sense, fuck it” and just not waking up.
The machines are going mad trying to figure us out.
I don’t know if you want an actual answer but this particular idiot’s opponent was a millionaire whose entire campaign strategy was spamming people with mail pointing out he is not Boebert…so vote for him on that merit? He couldn’t even make any statements on how he would help voters of this district or take a stand on any issues. He’s running again so we’ll see if he has learned anything.
This area (like so many around the country) is struggling. Outside of the die-hard Republicans who are a lost cause, people don’t appreciate a rich outsider talking down to them. The frustrating part is during the Democratic primary there was another candidate who had a great, progressive platform that included healthcare, taxing the rich, environment, etc. He came in last 😭 So Democrats chose the status quo, and their candidate struggled to get people excited to vote FOR him rather than AGAINST Boebert.
I think this is a problem that plagues the Democrats on a national level and isn’t a direct reflection of “stupid” rural voters.
I know they won’t read this comment, but I’d really love to hear from the people who down vote! What do you disagree with? I’ve lived all over the U.S. and even overseas, but I haven’t been everywhere in the world so the great thing about a board like this is people with different experiences can share them. I can speak to my own observations but if I’m missing something please tell me!
Yep, threw us into the ‘most unlikely’ universe because everything was supposed to be destroyed except for the active observer, e.g., you, because paradox.
Or at least that is the version I like to believe.
Or, this is our best universe and the rest just get even shittier. That’s my rainbow and unicorn fantasy / no kink shaming pls.
Or, what if hell is simply consciousness during all the shitty outcomes: the teacher runs out candy when it’s your turn, the bus drives off just when you show up, etc.
It would mean as we approach the hellspawn timeline, each one of us made it into the angel timeline too.
Odds are very high we only have one universe because multiple dimensions can be reduced via transformation, but it is progressively more difficult to transform from a lower dimension to a higher dimension: that straight 2d line is probably a straight 2d line in 3d and 4d space.
Also le boobies in class were always fun I am not sure what the hubbub is all about.
They’re in politics as a sock puppet to serve other wealthy people’s interests not because they have great ideas for improving the lives and wellbeing of people.
If you killed political donations, cushy job prospects post politics and the crazy idea that corporations are somehow people deserving of representation it might go a long way to purging these cookers from the system.
They can do it in their free time, and even barter trade. But from sunup to sundown (or whatever labor scale they use to measure shifts) they are doing something materially useful. No contribution, no food that day. Should only take about 3 weeks to get rid of all the slackers (and I say that as a slacker myself) either they’ve gone back home, or they’ve starved to death.
I propose that political officers be sent to these psychics randomly. The officers would sit down with these plebs and ask them to read their futures. If they don’t guess that they’re going to get beat up, then they’re going to get beat up for being frauds. The ones who know what’s coming to them, will still get beat up, but lightly, and they will be asked nicely to contribute something more meaningful to society… or else.
I don’t mind seeing communist content, it’s better than the shit that I was seeing on Reddit’s front page before I left it. At least communists aren’t spewing hatred against people based on their skin colour, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other things that people can’t control.
Although the centrists and leftists still hate each other, Lemmy is just a nicer place in general due to the lack of far-right horse shit.
This is like every drama channel on YouTube. Usually on the front page and titled “We need to talk” or a stupid title like that. Idk what they come up to sustain this stuff, but they obviously drag it out as long as they can.
I just feel bad for people who went in during Elon’s “good” years (heavy quotations). He’s nothing but a glorified car salesman and a verified idiot now, but for a while there, some people just wanted a more sustainable car.
Have you considered living your life and not worrying about what other people think?
nobody should do this
this is what libertarians do and they are awful human beings to interact with
and to be clear, i mean the literal text you said. What you meant was “have you considered not worrying about what other people think for mostly irrelevant stuff” but what you said was “not worrying about what other people think”. Those are different, and one leads to someone pushing you in front of a train.
Nobody follow this person’s advice. I am old, and one of the best things about life now is the freedom not to give a fuck about the dumbass judgemental thoughts of others. I do what I want regardless of what people think, and life is great.
There’s nothing wrong with or abnormal about being aware of your image or how you are perceived. Knowledge of self and self awareness and all that. Standard unavoidable reality of life.
Android is still the only player in the cellphone market if you don’t want to be treated like a brain damaged gerbil who can’t be trusted with accessing a file system.
I think your perception of last year like mine toes back several by covid effect. Other brands have had comparable electric vehicles for years now, and even then Tesla was never alone in the EV market.
Comparable? Not really. The i3, Leaf, and Bolt didn’t have the same fast charging capability or range as the Model 3, and luxury brands are out of reach for the average consumer.
The vehicles that are actually putting out comparable specs had their first model years in 2021 (Ford, VW) or 2022 (Hyundai and Kia).
Not comparable stock. Even in Q1 2022, 75% of all EV sales in the US were Teslas.
When I bought mine, I legitimately tried to get a Ford or a Volvo, but the dealerships had no stock and kept adding insane dealer fees and markups. With my used Tesla I just had to wait a week for delivery. Musk hadn’t gone fully off the deepend either yet.
Yup, got mine in 2018. He’d done shitty things by that time but wasn’t full mask off. At the time the only 2 real alternatives were the bolt and leaf. Neither had enough range for me.
But now? My next EV will not be a Tesla. I’m driving this one till the wheels fall off, but already there are better alternatives on the market. With everyone adopting NACS there’s pretty much no downside.
Internet absolutely was better 15 years ago. Everything is paywalled now and there’s constant disinformation. Algorithms feed you bullshit and people all post outrage bait to get attention. Not saying that stuff didn’t exist 15 years ago, but it’s absolutely become the dominant experience online.
You can’t even Google shit anymore, it’s all AI written articles. I used to use Reddit for that with site:reddit.com but I wonder how long we will be able to.
People suggest using other search engines instead like Bing or DuckDuckGo, but the fact that they no longer support the “-” operator in search is annoying.
