They’d forget that their currency is $ if corporate capitalism wasn’t so heavily ingrained into their national identity
(Assuming the one who made a mistake is American - even though many countries use dollars the US are the only ones bold enough to forget the internet isn’t just for them)
Wait, Ecosia has an AI assistant? One - that sounds ridiculously counterproductive to their goal of being eco, Two - I need to check that out haha
Try Fairphone. Ethically fantastic company, and they offer their phones with either Android or Murena /e/OS

Well it’s a good thing those two URIs can be easily blocked. Besides you can get the app from their Github page (sadly no F-droid repo as closed-source), and pay for Pro (if wanted) via Stripe instead of Google Play. I also had issues migrating Niagara off of Google once I’d connected the two, but an email correspondence with the lead dev Max Rumpf got the issue pleasantly and quickly resolved.
It’s likely the only reason for the privilege is to collect coords to send to the weather API. At least it’s optional, and there are alternative ways to see weather reports, just not on the home screen.
I tried accessing Google Photos via my phone to handle a couple of things I had active on that account from before. Little fuck refused to let me open the app unless it had unconditional access to all my media.
+1 for Niagara, plus even though you don’t have to, pro features can be purchased outside of Google Play.
A good movie for visualising this (IMO) is A.I. Artificial Intelligence.
I’m using an adblocker and get in just fine, may be random or it may be the js blockers I’ve implemented. Here’s my list of lists in case:
Note for any NordVPN users, their URIs are blocked by HaGeZi. Same list temporarily had Tidal’s URIs blocked as well but it seems to have been fixed.
Steam is turning into a sour grape for me - I complied with their restrictive and ancient method of age verification for UK accounts but I kind of want to migrate off them (they also charge high fees for devs, make it ridiculously difficult for new devs to exist, can singlehandedly destroy a studio and are very much monopolising the PC games industry so there’s also ethics) - in favour of GOG. At least with them you own your games, and can (shock horror) even choose whether or not to update and patch that way to glitch out of the map, or duplicate those orbs for currency, or anything else that doesnt comply with the specific way you’re allowed to play with the world they built.
Damn, sorry, I should file this away into my ‘rants’ folder
Xbox has had this for quite a while now (although I haven’t checked if that’s UK exclusive)
I mean, it’s not terrible, I believe a rival light source interrupts the waves from the screen so it doesnt hurt as much (is also the science behind monitor bars), but I agree – I’d probably prefer a no-image-compromise, scratch-resistant, effective antiglare coating to a simply brighter screen. Can’t say for sure though as my phone doesn’t have an *obvious coating
Precisely. It seems like poking fun is an integral part of human society, less something to worry or complain about
It seems very common in the US to get these mailed by the supplier. This one seems to be a blueprint for National Grid, and is similar to a post from this house light show co. on Facebook
Mid-season finale: learning that was just a government-aided internship period, and they can’twon’t actually pay for another full-time employee, because they can just use their existing experienced workers to cover the extra tasks at no extra cost.
You may forget that the majority of so-called baby boomers (and generation X) spent decades treating younger generations this way, probably because they were led to believe that corporate servitude was the ideal way to live and dedicate life to (and in many areas of the world the Boomer generation never had an economic crisis), and as a result the aforementioned younger generations, in general, realised the futility of that same lifestyle at this point and became salty at the attitudes of the elders for promoting living to work.
In short: the previous generation were not given a stereotype or nickname for no reason; they had to have portrayed a certain image, then be caricatured. If you’re personally not of the same mindset, then you’re not the target of this particular stereotype.
That would elicit from me a reactive “kill yourself” and a lengthy period of awkwardness later
Nor does 2000nits screen gang
My head is super itchy though…
In some respects I’m glad the US gets invasive updates before the UK, it means I get a longer warning, and this realm isn’t always protected by EU regulations. I haven’t used Photos for a while but I still need to warn others. One saving factor: even though the article never says it, this feature seems to be for backed-up media only, and not for on-device media.
