And pretty much everyone in my family has used our android phones for 4+ years for as long as I can remember.

It's almost as if anecdotes are worthless!

It's less that the improvements are marginal (modern flagships are significantly more powerful than 4 years ago for example), it's just that 90% of people have absolutely no use for most of that increased power. The most intensive thing most people do on their phone is watch media.

The current suicide rate of 16.1 per 100k is the highest since at least 2000.

I'd trust that the US's missile defenses could pretty easily stop North Korea's entire arsenal. They're not getting anywhere else China/Russia/whoever also launched a strike, at which point we're all fucked anyway.

Nuclear war is bad for business, I really, really doubt China's interested in starting one on NK's whim

Two Bad Bricks

Found them through their singer's YT channel. They describe themselves as acoustic stoner rock, which I feel is a good description. Lots of influence from Queens of the Stone Age.

Petrodragonic Apocalypse by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is a kickass album. Both about climate change and just dragons and witches and shit.

Full title is PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation. Love it.

Does the government keep capitalist interests on the top ?

Lately since covid has begun, there has been a high job insecurity in multiple fields , while the logical thing to do would have been improving job security laws, at least our govt( the name does not matter really) has brought laws , that gives power to the capitalists to abuse labour laws , or to fire employees more easily!

I'm aware. I'm not a fan of them not being able to tell their users when this stuff happens.

Not really. The FISA warrants usually come with a provision that gives strict penalties for giving any sort of notice that they've been served

What are your thoughts on restricting children’s access to pornography online?

There are a lot of GOP-controller legislatures in the USA pushing through so-called “child protection” laws, but there’s a toll in the form of impacting people’s rights and data privacy. Most of these bills involve requiring adults to upload a copy of their photo ID.

Judge dismisses major arguments in Google antitrust case (www.theverge.com)

The government’s antitrust case against Google just got significantly smaller. In a filing on Friday, a US district court judge dismissed several of the claims that the Department of Justice and a coalition of states brought against the company, including allegations that Google Search harms competing services.
