  • "Advanced Privacy" app on /e/-os (opensource android ROM) sends me occasional notifications about apps with most trackers haha. Also has a "wall of shame" (it's literally called that) where you can browse the worst offending apps

  • It’s far more racist to assume only minorities work for Door Dash

    Yeah agreed. Racial profiling is still racial profiling, using euphemisms like "lower class" and "minority" instead of the usual slurs doesn't make it okay.

  • How to find offline alternatives to software-as-a-service and apps with unnecessary internet connections?

    Jump

  • I sadly can't recommend any communities for this, but what I do know is that search engines have been basically useless for finding software alternatives for a while. Search results are just full of for-profit bullshit trying to sell you their stupid app or low-effort list sites like alternativeto.net. If I need to find an offline alternative to some specific tool, as ironic as it is, I usually just ask an LLM. They work pretty well as a sort of reverse-search engine for finding software based on a description of the features.

  • What's the weirdest thing you're upset about?

  • During my quantum mechanics course in year one of uni the lecturer spent the entirety of first lecture essentially ranting about how all of these "interpretations" of quantum mechanics are a complete waste of time with zero practical application. So you're not alone on this one.

    EDIT wait no lmao the course wasn't even on quantum mechanics it was on electromagnetism, the lecturer just had a personal gripe against all this quantum bullshit lol.

  • The silicone type of lint roller would probably feel like an unusually firm silicone dildo and the sticky tape type would probably feel slippery like postage stamp and taste with that sickly sweet chemical adhesive taste

  • The reason they don't want you to unlock your bootloader is because of security....

    ...security of their revenue stream, that is.

  • you can just send the money to the artist if indeed your objective is to “contribute to the artist” no NFTs required

    Yeah, people could donate directly, but some people decided to buy NFTs instead, and they wouldn't have spent the money otherwise.

    ^|This is my logic which shows that my post is not bullshit. My post is only bullshit by the "logic" that you try to introduce.

    And you don't need to be writing these long-winded paragraphs. The point stands that you're the one who brought up the argument about NFTs as means of ownership and then started arguing on the opposing side. Who are you arguing against? There is no-one on the proposing side, only the starmen you put there.

  • You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say shit about "rights" and "respect". The guy in the original comment mentioned nothing about it either. You said that. You're bringing this idea into the conversation and then arguing against yourself. Seriously, what is your endgame here?

    I genuinely have no clue what you think I "read on a website" about NFTs. To set the record straight, my understanding of NFTs is that you have a ledger where your public key is associated with a token short string of characters, and every computer participating in the ledger agrees on that. that's it. All of these ideas of "ownership" and "rights" and societal analogies is bullshit you brought into the conversation.

  • damn those 17 downvotes are so salty it's making my monitor bezels corrode

    Jump

  • yeah exactly I still haven't heard a single explanation of what makes NFTs a "scam". People just shout that word and expect you to accept it. Seriously, which part of a consensual transaction between two well-informed parties qualifies as a "scam"?

  • bruh it's really not that difficult. Fan sends money to artist. Fan receives some magical bytes in return. Could fan have right clicked and downloaded the artwork without paying? Of course. But fan wants to support artist. Because fan likes artist's art. It's how any digital "marketplace" works, NFT or not. All this "legal system" and "ownership" and "legal registrar" nonsense you're pulling up is completely irrelevant. You're reading too much into it.

  • Perfect

    Jump

  • I mean yeah like you can be a pedant about it but all in all its a statement that makes sense. Apps on both android and ios are very sandboxed, even if you go out of your way to install malware there's very limited damage it can do, barring zerodays in the sandboxing itself.

  • Yeah the dev is notorious for sneaking in irrelevant political virtue signaling bullshit. I get that they want to do good to the world, but there are so many ways to do that without alienating your users. For example, partnering up with a charity. You know. Like VIM does.

  • Keyboards with physical F keys higher than 12 absolutely do exist tho.

    This one's ancient, but I also have a slightly less old apple wireless keyboard that goes up to F19. IIRC goes up to a theoretical maximum of F64, but don't quote me on that.
