I didn’t notice c/europe was zionists. I just typed israel, I see highly (legitimately) upvoted posts against it.

I’m sure you can find some unsavory stuff, but I haven’t stumbled upon it once.

On the other hand I’ve been confronted to authoritarian bootlickers too many times from ml. If you don’t defederate from them too then you’re not being consistent.

I love the candour

THE TRUE PEOPLE

… Am I still on lemmy?
The whole thread is a corporate talk and Apple Steam fan mix. Your first paragraph…

We’re discussing a monopoly, and all I am reading is how good a product they’re making.

Shouldn’t the discussion also be about their costs, margins?
Is the market difficult to enter by its nature? How much would the users and developers benefit from more competition?

And I still dont know their cut.

Why isn’t their cut mentioned? This seems like the most important information.

I’m playing the sequel (I know, wrong sub). I normally never get sweaty hands. This changed because the game is so hard.
I even had to put flour on my left hand to get some grip on the thumbstick

This black guy compared mandatory vaccines to slavery

my penis was the only thing in my eye line.

“I slipped on it, causing me to fall out of the tub completely head first

This makes it sound a bit like he slipped on his peen

Which I found humorous. Because penis.

Blueberries used to be called torx fruits in the olden days

Good to know, thanks!

Yes older gen is fine, but I don’t see that much of a difference on the 4TB drives, they tend to all start at 190-200€. Maybe because there aren’t any older gen at that capacity yet? I haven’t followed SSDs progress closely.

I won’t buy from Amazon either. I don’t have much experience with Aliexpress, and haven’t looked up their history out of laziness. Will do.

It’s hard, if not impossible, to buy ethical tech. I prefer to buy second hand, but that doesn’t really make a difference.

Thanks. Yes power consumption is important, so I’ll keep that in mind!

Is there a specific term I should look for, or simply “power management”?

I had to too recently because my battery died, so I replaced it with a new battery. Not the cheapest nor the most expensive, an average priced battery.
I’m relatively content with it.

Airvpn, or Azirevpn if you’re ok with few servers

Of those I’ve only used Azire, and it worked well. I’ve seen Airvpn recommended often though

A non techy but privacy mindful friend bought a fairphone with /e/
She’s happy with it

I might do the same one day when I don’t want to tinker anymore

google captcha that will 100% fail the first time no matter how careful I am, sorry I can’t do it anymore, especially if I don’t know what I’m opening

and hasn’t it be established bots can solve those now and it’s just about the money?

It is indeed very rough for now, but good to see another app

Even if it gets better it would need a good multi language (multi-lingual?) support for me to switch, which the official app did a stellar job with.

Why are Piped or Invidious used here or in FreeTube? Aren’t they serving the same functions?
