If you want open source adoption to continue to be low, please, keep making comments like this.

If you want people to switch, the apps need to be appealing not a chore. And relearning a workflow you’ve fine tuned over decades is a serious chore and may even be detrimental to your job.

Yeah actually it was a Belarusian journalist, Roman Protasevich.

The issue is every competitor will use the same targeted ads. No advertiser who is not using targeted ads by utilizing tracking data will never be as competitive because their ads won’t be as effective.

Until we can kill these types of advertising by making laws against it or make tools that counteract them widespread enough that it makes the business unprofitable we will continue to have our data used against us.

No, it’s because people like you don’t vote in primaries. I vote in every primary for better candidates meanwhile people like you scream how the candidates are awful while staying home during the primaries.

The candidates won’t get better until we grass roots organize and start actually making good candidates popular.

Also I guess losing the majority on SCOTUS and losing abortion rights was just a “hypothetical scenario” when people like you refused to vote for Hillary in 2016?

When will you people learn that, yes, elections have consequences.

Trying to pretend like they might not and Trump might somehow not be worse is being deliberately obtuse and sticking your head in the sand. Wake up and smell the reality.

Please tell me about your hypothetical future where you don’t vote for Biden. Please explain to me what your best case scenario and outcome look like in that situation? Please tell me, what are you working towards?

If you think you’re going to change anything by not voting or voting third party then I have a bridge I’d love to sell you and decades of American history I’d like you to read.

Please explain to me what action you’re going to take and how that’s going to lead to positive change?

Nope, they’d rather scream about “not voting for the lesser of two evils” full well knowing that if they don’t that the likelihood of Trump becoming president and having MUCH worse policies for the Palestinians becomes much greater.

But hey, why care about the realities of a situation when you can scream about principles or something?

Is there so much more he could have done without an act of Congress? We saw from Trump’s presidency that most executive orders do not hold up in court and Congress controls the power of the purse.

Remember how Russia forced Navalny’s plane to land in a different country so they could arrest him? Not that I agree with the action, but it might not be a bad idea for Europeans and Netanyahu. Just sayin’.

I’m assuming they’re North American.

How does this work with local laws regarding 2 party recording? If you’re on a video call and this records the other party without their permission, that is AFAIU illegal in many states in the US. I’m sure in parts of Europe as well.

If you wanna help your case stop referring to women as “females”. It makes them sound like objects.

“Hey! Bi-den Hey! How many kids have you killed today?!?”

On the flip side, if the genders were changed in this situation and the guy only wanted the woman because of superficial reasons like she was attractive or popular, how many people would be saying “he got what he deserves”

This is definitely one of those double standard situations. While we shouldn’t be victim blaming, I think there’s something to be said for calling out people who are willing to throw away an existing relationship or form a new relationship just because an “influencer” came up to them and they thought they were rich. And I think that’s what the poster you are responding to was getting at.

Yeah as others have hinted at this is going to be easier with a router/network level feature.

I’m sure there’s a way to do this by setting up a special virtual interface, limiting the bandwidth on that interface and then using iptables to redirect the apt traffic to that interface or something to that effect but I’m not a network engineer and I don’t have the experience to help with something like that. There might also be a way to do this with cgroups to limit the bandwidth but again that’s above my level of expertise.

It’s a different type of plastic, AFAIK it’s like a spray on polymer for the aluminum cans; But I think the biggest factor is probably UV degradation of the ingredients in the soda with the clear plastic bottles.

Aloomineeum

It’s true, but the amount of plastic in the cans is pretty negligible, especially compared to plastic bottles and the aluminum can is still by far the most recyclable beverage container.

Also there are new linings that don’t use plastic but natural materials called oleoresinous linings but they’re not good for acidic things so they’re not very wildly used.

That’s not entirely true. In the early days they used wax to line the cans because steel still leaves a taste in the drink. It just didn’t work very well and also caused carbonation issues as the CO2 diffused into the wax.

They already do in the US, they sell beer like this. And I’m pretty sure I’ve seen water packaged like this too.
