They agreed to being bussed (but they didn't know exactly where) and Texas officials made sure to get that on paper to cya themselves against lawsuits and criminal charges

Vivaldi browser is known to collect and sell your data on your usage like everything else except Firefox and chromium (not chrome); in case you didn't already know

I feel like the most galling thing about xtianity is that you can be the most violent, murderous, racist, homophobic pos forever and, per doctrine, you'll still be welcomed into heaven no matter what so long as you believe that the invisible sky friend exists.

Tesla is a driving force for both the automotive industry electrifying and worsening worker rights, safety, pay, and labor practices.

Only the bougie and the rich focus on the first part even though the second part has much bigger consequences for humanity.

I always thought that arch was more difficult to get started w due to my experience with it from 2003/2004; it was MUCH more difficult to install and use than red hat or Debian at the time because both only required an installation cd and the ability to click on "ok"

It's nice to know it's gotten better, but I'm an old fart now and you'll have to pry Debian out of my cold dead hands before I'll consider anything else. Lol

You should add this at the beginning so that we can understand within one second:

In the 60s and 70s, some 4,500 young Inuit had IUDs inserted without their consent or that of their families

i just left texas and it blows my mind when people willingly move there

multiple clones have been available for almost 2 decades but grindr dominates so much that it's larger than all of the clones combined because of name recognition; even straight people know what grindr is and, thus, new gays will only hear of grindr unless they dig into sources that aren't mainstream (eg reddit niches and word of mouth from other gays who know about the clones).

it's a very effective form of voter suppression, so yes, it's very american; gotta make sure only the right kind of people can voter after all.

not good, this is what grindr's owners wanted; let grindr run on autopilot to squeeze out as much $$$ as possible.

it'll eventually mean that grindr will fail; but short term profits are always more important to investors.

Ah. Well if I’m not mistaken Lemmy is mostly Android / FOSS biased so I’m not surprised some people might have the “Apple bad” mindset. Honestly why do people care what products other people use? I read a comment the other day about an Android user despairing that some feature Google is implementing (don’t remember which) might make some Android users jump ship to Apple… Ok who cares? Why so much emotional investment in something so trivial? It sounds just as crazy when you flip it, “Oh no some of my Apple friends are switching to Android or PC” …. A phone is an everyday appliance. Do you care what brand your neighbor’s kitchen appliances are? That’s how you should feel about phones IMHO.

iphones are status symbols so they get to be ascribed w the same emotional irrationality that other status symbols get like cars and clothes.

why does this look so fake?

Could we replace them with Jews? I think we could use more Jewish folks around and they never go chanting about which ethnic groups they want less of...

Somewhere around half of the ones in Israeli territories beg to differ. Lol
