And if you were to actually create an innovative or competing product, Google would just buy you out like Android, Waze, Nest, etc

A tomato straight from the vine is basically candy 🍅🤤

Windshield solar visors will be making a comeback (if they ever even fell out of fashion) with climate change heating things up. I drive a black car with a black leather interior and the thing makes a huge difference when it’s sunny and 80+° F outside

Really? Dang, that’s a bummer. I haven’t rewatched it since it originally aired but at the time I thought it was superb.

I always buy unlocked Android phones and they’ve all had mobile tethering included for no additional charge. Samsungs.

My thoughts exactly

If u disagree with the term neoliberalism that’s fine but it’s a widespread and useful term that exists in common usage regardless as to what u think of it. If u haven’t read its definition I recommend u check it out! ☺️

I’ve had a couple Samsungs but I think my next phone will be a Pixel for exactly this reason. Installing GrapheneOS is exactly what I need

Given the context Interdimemsionalmeme provides in their comment, I think neoliberal makes perfect sense. Why bring another human being into a dying world where their labor will be exploited until they die?

I had no prior experiences with any Barbie-related products or media (adult cis white male in the US) and wasn’t sure whether I’d enjoy it at all. After seeing it, i honestly think there’s something for everyone in this movie. It’s exceptionally well-written (very wry) and makes solid points about the current state of patriarchy in our society. It’s really well-done. Feel free to wait for it to come out on streaming, but then I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

Preach this is like some Lyndon Johnson era discourse. I usually don’t care for this type of identity politics but this story is just too juicy. McCarthy is a sad pathetic disgrace of a house speaker, he’s a sycophant for a facist and history will not be kind to his legacy. In summary: McCarthy 👏 is 👏 a 👏 pusssaaaaayyyy 👏

Thanks for the heads up 🙏

Proceeds to blindly parrot social media post titles to friends like an automaton

I assume you meant “Ignorant” in the sense that his ideals are behind the times, but for the record the guy went to Yale and Harvard Law School. He’s not ignorant he’s intentionally and maliciously positioning himself aligned with the far right culture war whackos to scoop up Trump’s base to get the nomination, then he’ll pivot and backpedal those same positions to try and court the undecideds

And I’m finding myself actually posting comments instead of drafting and deleting them like I did on Reddit for the last 6-7 years. The comment threads really deteriorated on Reddit over the last decade

Agreed. I personally struggle with the word “intentionally,” however. Meta was aware of the negative side effects of their content algorithms far before the recent Myanmar violence and did nothing to remedy it. There were internal reports about teen suicide and eating disorders several years prior that they tried to hush up, and of course the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal which revealed the extent to which Facebook was supplying third parties with user info that was directly responsible for increased partisanship in the 2016 & 2020 election cycles, and probably (imo) they share some blame for recent hate crimes in the US accordingly. And now we know they definitively hold blame for increased violence in Myanmar. If they knew the effect their platform had and did nothing about it, that to me seems intentional. Just my 2¢

To maintain the analogy - what if the radio equipment were somehow designed to provide stronger, more far-reaching frequencies if the DJs were broadcasting hate speech and military commands, but shorter, weaker frequencies when DJs discussed crimes against humanity? Facebook isn’t a truly open platform, it’s algorithms dictate what users see and what goes viral.

Yeah I regret seeing that picture.

High fructose corn syrup

This seems like a good idea and I hope Apple eventually follows suit. There are so many apps, especially on iOS, that are just the mobile app blown up on tablets that are basically unusable.
