  • That marriage didn't last long 😂😂😂😂 This is going to be highly entertaining.

  • Yes!! That would be really helpful, too.

  • According to the dev, Play Services is only needed for casting:

    "...you only need play services for Chromecast." SOURCE, replying to a GrapheneOS user

    He even offers an option to install without the play store (via Aurora) and to contact him for the license. SOURCE

  • You missed the one about the data breach that they are still investigating, but subtly hint that your full contact details, credit card, social security number, health status, sexual orientation, bank account, and passwords were sold on the dark web.

  • The only feature I want (because it really does feel all my other needs perfectly) is the ability to DELETE articles.

    Some of the stuff that gets by RSS before it's moderated out from the source, can be awful. Since I keep an archive of my feeds, this becomes problematic.

  • The sad reality is ... there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project.

    This is why we can't have nice things. I wish the shittiest day upon those people.

  • Symfonium

    What didn't you like about it?

    That's what I'm using after looking at a bunch of other options based on my requirements, and while I didn't want to go with a closed source, paid app, it does everything.

  • One of my bike's is 30 years old, and I use it all the time.

    But as far as oldest stuff I still use, probably things like certain furniture, tools, and kitchen stuff, which would have been inherited from grandparents who have long passed.

  • Why is it that the people who voted for Trump, know less about Trump than the rest of the world?

  • T2 is not just a lifestyle related illness.

    I'm not going to argue this, because I'm repeating what health orgs, researchers, universities, and governments say.

    Are meds needed by some? Yes.

    Are meds needed for everyone? Research says no, but only if lifestyle is improved.

    As one example, obesity is strongly correlated with type-2 diabetes risk. Even just reducing your weight can reduce the amount of insulin you need. That's a good thing. That's in addition to other benefits gained from reducing your weight.

    If doctors aren't making this message clear, and if people aren't giving affordable, accessible means to improve their health, then society has failed those people.

    There are no downsides to living a healthy lifestyle. Even if you still get sick, your chances of having a better outcome are greater, so we must start there.

  • Maybe you are misunderstanding, or maybe I'm not explaining it clearly.

    With lifestyle related illness (like type-2 diabetes), the "cure" isn't medication, but a change in lifestyle.

    The prevention is also based on a healthy lifestyle, not a shortage of medication.

    Therefore, if you want to fix a lifestyle related illness, backed by decades of research, then the priority is to get patients to at least practice a healthy lifestyle.

    If you don't, then you're fighting a losing battle, and people will be dependent on medication for their entire life.

    That's not to say that medication can't be used during the transition phase to a healthy lifestyle, but doctors who only push meds are doing harm.

  • Naw, one size fits most is a horrible way to practice medicine.

    Um, as human beings, we need a health-promoting lifestyle above all else. Medication should come a long way off from lifestyle intervention for most illnesses, and only as an adjunct to a healthful lifestyle.

    The individual protocols can differ, but you aren't going to make anyone well if you aren't focusing on the foundations of health: exercise, sleep, nutrition, stress management.

    Type-2 diabetes is considered a lifestyle-related illness for a reason. Treating it with meds first is such a "Big Pharma" way of doing things, and it's so harmful.

  • They say this works for some, not all individuals.

    That could be a matter of compliance, obesity, or other factors (i.e. not diet alone).

    Regardless, if the majority of people could be helped with lifestyle intervention, then that should be the priority over pharmacological treatment.

  • Given Teslas only use cameras

    This still blows my mind. My fucking robot vacuum uses LiDAR, and multi-ton vehicles on public roads use cameras? Jesus Christ.

  • I hate to be one to agree, but if he's referring to type 2 diabetes, then it's actually a valid point.

    Type 2 is not only preventable but reversable (either completely or enough to massively reduce insulin dependency).

    This has been known for a while. Even major diabetes organizations and medical universities say it.

    The problem is, good luck convincing someone to switch their diet. And if they wanted to, they may not even be able to afford it.

    If it were easy, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity related illnesses would be rare.

  • I guess there's going to be a lot of heroes popping Robo-Taxi tires. To protect their community and all that.

  • You should read Psalm 137:9. Literally throwing babies against rocks to kill them is a blessing.

    There is no translation that can be interpreted as anything else:

    King James Bible Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

    Contemporary English Version May the Lord bless everyone who beats your children against the rocks!

    GOD'S WORD® Translation Blessed is the one who grabs your little children and smashes them against a rock.

    The entire Bible is full of insane shit like that.

    I don't believe anyone who says they've read the Bible and still choose to be Christian. That would either make them a liar or deranged.

  • Incoherent babbling. It's like listening to a drunk.

  • I think it would be impossible to fight back when there will come a time when you won't even know what is real and what is not.

    It would be impossible to filter through all the content that you'll be exposed to in the future.

    We can obviously try, but the vast majority of the population simply won't have the skills to defend against this new reality.
