  • And that also is not healthy

  • Isn't it totally obvious what the comic is critiquing? There are too many people out there who vote for racist parties that want to eliminate people in their social circle and that are totally butthurt when they get called out for that and are bitter when those people don't want to have anything to do with them afterwards. "It's just politics"

  • The correct tools are those small plastic containers or a cheap grease gun. You can get the grease better into the bearing with them and don't have the risk of smearing cotton fiber in there. They are of course more expensive than a q-tip, but you can get one for unter 5€. Seriously, if you do this even a couple times a year, buy one.

    (This is also a great example why environmental regulation is so tricky: It totally makes sense to prevent one of the worst polluting product to be phased out or replaced with a better solution. But then there are edge cases (how many people have even greased a bearing in their life?) where the new product might be worse, but that still is not an argument for mass pollution on our beaches or against that regulation)

  • Come on, let's not doubt that eating car tires is unhealthy.

  • Why would you grease a bearing with a q-tip? Use a proper tool for that!

  • for example

  • A big problem here is that Google & Apple are not trustworthy. Google f.e. is blocking accounts without any chance for the user to get them back or to reclaim them. If you need an app to open your door and Google is blocking you, you're fucked.

  • You're right - it's great to be able to crosspost, but every fediverse software is totally allowed their own features and if other systems don't display it correctly, that's also ok.

    But in this case, Mastodon really is missing some kind of "group" feature. We kind of have this with the a.gup.pe - Tool, but it would be nice to bring some order into that chaos.

  • So, what would be the best way to "block the internet" on an Android phone while still being somehow able to use it for communication with the family & friends, navigation and stuff like that?

  • Yeah, but computers and smartphones are kind of like food - people need them, they are not luxury goods. You might be able to use your old laptop a while longer or keep using your broken smartphone, but if it really breaks, you will buy another one regardless of tarrifs.

  • Yeah, because Manifest v3 is just being rolled out as described in the article.

  • duckduckgo browser is based on Chromium (as nearly every other "alternative" browser is) and therefore will use Manifest v3 and neuter uBlock.

  • There are better gadgets to track your sleep. If you want to just track how you're sleeping, get a cheap fitbit. Withings or Apple Watch are also able to detect sleep apnea

  • Just imagine how much energy it must cost to provide this garbage to every mail going through Yahoos servers.

  • Let's be honest: Everything that might be "worse" or "annoying" in Firefox for someone is not relevant in comparison to "no working adblocker available". A browser without adblock is unusable

    • a $2000 bed
    • with a $19/month subscription
    • which is a full linux computer
    • full of security holes
    • that allows the company to ssh into your bed
    • that totally could give those guys access into your local network
    • the CEO is flirting with DOGE and is offering them free beds
    • they are tracking your sleep data and tweeting about it

    WTF?

  • German shepherds shouldn't be bred at all. They have genetic defects that make them suspect to certain illnesses, such as hip defects. Don't buy them. They will suffer and you will have an expensive vet bill.

  • TBH: It does sound bad, but it is one of the best ways to lower the effort needed for moderating. Currently every idiot from every instance can show up in your community and start spamming. You have to clean up after you're back from work and have other things to do. Set a reasonable limit on account age and karma and that will keep the biggest idiots, because they will be banned or downvoted to oblivion before they can start posting in your turf.
