Do they all really? I know GrapheneOS does, and I think DivestOS even says "use my OS to stay as up to date as possible, but if you have a current/supported Pixel, use GrapheneOS instead for superior security." But I don't recall other OSes really going "we're more secure than GrapheneOS and here's why."
if used for work...Features? Don't care.
Most organizations care about maintaining document compatibility, especially formatting, and that usually means Office365. Microsoft is notorious for publishing a standard and then ignoring their own standard, making it exceedingly difficult to use other office suites.
I've heard OnlyOffice does the best at maintaining compatibility.
if they can't do what the board needs... They aren't a good fit either
But does the board need it, or just want it to maximize profits, like boards usually do in their typical chase of infinite growth that isn't sustainable?
And if the person won't stick up for what they think is best for the company and the people (which they've deemed firing 50 people is that), maybe they're not a good fit that way. But hey, they are sticking up for said company and 50 people, so maybe they are.
"Part of a complete breakfast!"
I mean, if you eat a complete breakfast, wouldn't anything you drank/ate during that be considered part of the complete breakfast? Healthy people hate that one trick.
In rare cases charisma pulls you out, but that's much harder to achieve.
Spoken like a person with no charisma.
if they draft it's because cannon fodder is needed.
That's a big if, as you noted US hasn't drafted in forever. But even if they did draft, the US hasn't used "cannon fodder" tactics for several decades. Their technology is so advanced (and military budget/spending so high) they don't need to in order to win. Trench warfare ain't really a thing anymore.
At least you'll be alive instead of cannon fodder
I don't think the military is dying at a noticeable rate, especially as "cannon fodder." A quick Google says deaths by hostile action hasn't broken the triple digits annually over the last decade. I also didn't really look at the other deaths, so feel free to dive into that side.

It's doomed to become a nazi bar...you can just go to an instance with admins you trust better or make your own instance
Ok, how is that different than Nostr? Don't like your Lemmy instance admins rolling against your Nazi views? Join a different instance. Nazi sympathetic instance gets defederated by everyone else? Make your own instance.
But generally I'm not a fan of the stuff I've heard and read about the Nostr protocol so far.
Can you elaborate?
I'm hoping for a Pixel Tablet 2 with this (Pixel Tablet doesn't have it, but the Pixel 8 does for some reason) and MTE security capability, and I'll transition to that with GrapheneOS over a laptop.
I haven't tested it personally, but I think GrapheneOS (easily the best Android OS for Pixels, in my opinion) has had it for Pixel 8s since the end of October 2023. Here's a quick guide I saw: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/9775-pixel-8-desktop-mode-guide-and-personal-experience
and Signal were Google proprietary.
I'm pretty sure Signal is not Google proprietary, and the person you replied to didn't say it was.
Yeah billy should be build IUDs not 3d printed guns
I see the /s but...The Ukraine war videos don't show how to build IEDs, though. And even if they did, who would the parents sue? Ukraine, a nation at war? As opposed to 3D printed guns show you how to make them, and you could try to sue the gun company who it belongs to. And YouTube in both cases.
we didn't do a good job transitioning from religious to secular values in that way.
A lot of religions were founded on and/or expanded by violence (Pilgrims to America, Knights Templar, Spanish Inquisition, etc), so I don't remotely think "religious to secular" is the reason.
Apple has announced that its Messages app will support the RCS messaging standard in iOS 18. RCS offers more advanced features compared to traditional SMS, including higher-quality media, typing indicators, and end-to-end encryption. This move will improve messaging between iOS and Android devices, which currently rely on the less capable SMS protocol. Apple's decision to add RCS support likely comes in response to pressure from Google, Samsung, and European regulators who have pushed for better cross-platform messaging. Overall, this change will bring the iPhone's messaging capabilities more in line with the Android experience.
it's actual evidence to ops statement.
You only care for calories? Get a small soda with unlimited refills. Easy.
McDonald's isn't more expensive than nice fast food
Depends on where you live, I'd imagine. Where I am, it is, or at least on par. And why would I choose the pricier (or same) crappier version?
it's not that much more than the real cheap fast food
Except that's its bracket. McDonald's is supposed to be crappy (it is), cheap (it isn't) fast food.
$20 will get you more than 2k calories.
That's not the flex you think it is.
Well, I did say (emphasis added):
I'd be willing to bet that most aren't or even know about it. Defederating due to what some admins and where the majority of users don't know
So are they Nazis if they don't know they're sitting at a table with a Nazi? Of course not. That saying only works when they knowingly accept it. It really is as simple as that.
But is everyone there a fascist? Or just some/most admins/mods? If everyone (not just mods, but users too) or most were, sure. I'd be willing to bet that most aren't or even know about it. Defederating due to what some admins and where the majority of users don't know sounds like "throwing out the baby with the bathwater."
To be fair, the Aiel didn't initially grow up there (and too short for evolution, in my non-scientific brain), but rather migrated there to use it as "a shaping stone to make them, a testing ground to prove their worth, and a punishment for their sin." And it would be too easy on those three reasons if they were perfectly (or mostly) acclimated and suited for the desert genetically.

This announcement is from the Lawnchair Discord:
Lawnchair 14 has arrived!
After about 2 years, we're delighted to announce that Lawnchair 14 has finally arrived!
Based on Launcher3 from Android 14, this release works with QuickSwitch from Android 10 to Android 14! You won't need to use an older version to integrate with the system.
Some major highlights: • Search your phone, the web, and more with our new Global Search — no root needed!¹ • View flight info, see surrounding traffic, and keep an eye on your data usage with Smartspacer — all integrated within Lawnchair.² • Want to further control your icons? Fret not, We now support custom icon packs for themed icons, alongside some new icon options.³ • Themers rejoice — you can now hide the Dock for a cleaner home screen. You can also change even more colors, fonts, and padding. • Are you tired of Lawnchair crashing because of widgets? We've fixed that issue; you won’t need to do some hacky workaround to add them.⁴
Alongside that, we have a new partnership with Startpage — searching with Startpage (via the dock search bar or App Drawer search) helps support Lawnchair’s development.
We still have more things to share! See the announcement on our website for more information.
¹ Experimental feature, requires opt in Lawnchair Settings. ² Requires Smartspacer and respective plugins. ³ Requires a supported icon pack . ⁴ May still persist depending on the device.
Appliances giant Haier reportedly issued a takedown notice to a software developer for creating Home Assistant integration plugins for the company's home appliances and releasing them on GitHub.
cross-posted from: https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/post/567593
> Haier hits Home Assistant plugin dev with takedown notice > > I'm not really big on "let's make a movement", but this independent dev has been hit with a cease-and-desist from making a FOSS Home Assistant addon for their Haier air conditioners. > > Haier claims that they are losing out on millions of dollars due to this plugin which... lets you control their air conditions from home assistant. They haven't bothered to explain how that's possibly worth millions of dollars - they're just claiming it. > > So of course they hit the Streisand button and are demanding that he takes it down. He of course is complying... in a couple of days. Maybe you see where this is going. > > It would be an absolute shame if any of you just happened to create a fork, or clone the code, or mirror it in your own instance. An absolute shame. > > Just so everyone here knows which repositories NOT to clone or fork, here are the two links: > > - https://github.com/Andre0512/hon > - https://github.com/Andre0512/pyhOn > > and please, don't repost this anywhere, or share it in other communities, or anything like that. It's a shame that so many people already know and are making clones. I'm just letting you know so you don't do anything like telling others who may make their own copies. > > (sidenote: Haier owns GE Appliance, so for our American folks it may affect you folks too)

v1.23.1: New Donation/IAP has missing background
New Donation/IAP has missing background. Looks like it should have a background, but doesn't, so some words are on top of each other. This is on light mode, whereas dark mode doesn't have this issue.

[Feature Request] Add Subscribe/Unsubscribe to the long click (where Block is)
Pretty much the title. That way Block isn't so lonely in its own long click menu. Also, they're both two sides of the same coin, so makes sense to have them together.
