  • I'm going to guess they'll keep it and justify it as "metadata". Like the metadata of it's users that it sells

  • I'm starting to think they named it more after the metadata of it's users of which they use to make money.

  • Did you drink alcohol when you were younger than me?

    Jump

  • In the UK it's quite common for kids at some 15/16 to have house parties with alcohol (our drinking age is 18). At least this was common when I was that age 16 years ago

  • Fairphone posted 83% year-on-year growth in Q4 2025 - A journey away from Big Tech to a more sustainable alternative

  • I would just love a smaller one in general. Hate big phones. Give me a pixel 3 sized one at most.

  • Fast and furious

  • Cyclists ride in the middle of the road because it's safer and it's what's recommended to them to do via the highway code (in the UK).

    This is so that drivers don't miscalculate the amount of space needed to give the cyclist so they don't clip their handlebars with the wing mirrors and potentially kill a guy.

    As well as making the act of overtaking a more conscious effort. You ain't going to chance it if you have to fully go into oncoming lane to do so.

  • GBA SP charging cable? Or data cable? It it's a date cable is likely for transferring Pokémon and whatnot via a trainer program on a pc or something? Just a wild guess

  • What is a belief you’ve done a total 180 on?

    Jump

  • What made it easy for me to change to vegan cheese was realising that there're so many different varieties of cheese that all taste different to each other, and realising that vegan cheese is just more amongst them, each also tasting different between them.

    That and at the time of me making the transition my local supermarket had a vegan wensleydale and cranberries which has always been my favourite cheese. So having an alternative for that made it much easier for me.

  • I assume compose is meant to be a key? What key is compose?

  • I have butter and cheese most days, they just happen to be vegan instead of dairy based

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • Guess that's where our morales and beliefs differ because to me he seems very creepy in how he's taking advantage of everyone taken over by the virus. It may be a nice fantasy to be able to do what he's doing but to me that should stay a fantasy and not be something to actually want or empathise with.

  • You can still have the same function using a hyphen. How do you even type an em dash on a standard keyboard?

  • Eating meat. I used to vaguely mock vegans when I was in college (UK, so 16-18 years old). I used to say shit like "don't you just miss bacon though" and "the animals already dead, you might as well eat it now or it goes to waste". I've since done a 180 and I'm close to 10 years of veganism. Best decision I ever made for both my health and mental wellbeing.

  • What phrases/sentences instantly reveal someone as a chud?

    Jump

  • That's the thing though. If someone has used chat gpt to find information and then spent the time to verify it independently, they rarely, if ever, start a sentence with "I asked chat gpt...".

    The ones that say that usually just stop at the first response they get from it. Even if what they say ends up being correct, you now know that they're the kind of person that'll blindly believe an LLM.

  • What video game did you not expect to like as much as you did?

    Jump

  • Oh yeah sadly the combat, as cool as it can be at times, is it's greatest weakness, it just needed more combo options or allowed you to have all eikons at once

  • What video game did you not expect to like as much as you did?

    Jump

  • Yeah to me the combat is both fun and disappointing because it could've been way better. But the story, characters and acting kept me going. Ended up 100%ing and done all of the boring (gameplay wise) side quests just because they did so much with story and character progression.

    For me with XV after the first third, I had pretty much fully checked out when it came to its story and gameplay, but for XVI the story kept me going strong the whole way. Even as a die hard VII fan, Clive has easily become my favourite FF character, and it's Cid is the best Cid by a country mile in my opinion. Both voice actors absolutely killed it and elevate the characters so much.
