I think this thread proves they failed in not creating controversy

You mean like overturning Rowe vs Wade and the ridiculous Alabama Supreme Court “cell cluster = baby” bullshit? Yep they are still plenty dangerous and capable of fucking everything backward in time

I’m not crazy into podcasts, but I have no complaints with podcast republic. Although, the other suggestion for audiobookshelf is a solid one

Are you able to control phone functions with assist? I don’t use it mainly because I set voice timers a lot and wasn’t able to find a way to do it with assist.

Doesn’t say as much as “why was this rapist elected president, and why is he going to be elected again?” At this point, it’s is pretty much a guarantee that this fuckhat will serve another term because pubs just want to “own them libs!” regardless of the damage it will do to society.

I think you might be confusing intelligence with memory. Memory is compressed knowledge, intelligence is the ability to decompress and interpret that knowledge.

Or, use that time to learn an actual skill…

When “this lemon is too sour” is the problem, maybe “here, try this orange” is the solution. Can you imagine responding like “No! People are always talking about oranges! I’m sick of it and won’t try one!” Ridiculous…

Or, just don’t have those IDs by not having accounts. Nobody’s identifying me by my Facebook ID if I don’t have one. Simples

I toyed with this idea, but the directory structures are completely different, and they both keep their own databases. If one updates images, the other database will be out of sync. IMHO, it’s best to keep them separate

I don’t have anything specific, self-hosting is a big subject. I recommend checking out https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted / !selfhosted@lemmy.world There’s a lot of helpful folks over there

Arc Browser is better for USERS. Ad companies are just going to have to figure it out. Sounds like a “them” problem to me

Have you considered self-hosting? Nextcloud is a great alternative to stuff like Google docs, etc…

They’re probably geo-locking it, too, so it will really be just English in just the US

You’re cheering for Apple, which is the highest value company in the world. Maybe check the opponent before rooting against Google

But you could be fire a green up-line

they usually don’t win

Sorry, had to make that a bit more accurate. For all those wondering how futile voting for anything other than the two major parties is, these are the ones that did the best https://www.thoughtco.com/most-successful-independent-presidential-candidates-3367561

It basically comes down to: voting independent = voting republican. I’m not saying that’s always the case, but it seems to be the trend that voting outside the two major parties is stealing votes from the democrats

The shiny white curtain, now with titanium! (for some reason…)

Sentience + reading lemmy.ml would do it

Nobody today is selling a 9 year old car for $900 or the inflation equivalent unless it was turned into a cube at the scrap yard.

That’s a bit under $1800 by today’s rates and a 30 second search turned this up: https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/ctd/d/indianapolis-2006-ford-f150/7709051628.html

Cars are on average more expensive today, new or used. Gas is more expensive, and it’s likely more expensive to insure a young driver, which has always been expensive.

Put in the effort and you can find a good deal. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again. Buying a new car is a scam, found that one out myself too. I also pay for the same gas and insurance so that’s moot

If they choose “don’t drive” over “pour much of what little money I have into propping up a falling apart beater,” that’s still a choice. Why rag on them for it?

Not ragging on the choice, I’m ragging on the rationale. “EverYtHinG iS sO 'sPensive” is just “I don’t want to be seen driving/living in/wearing that” in disguise. There are cheaper choices or ones that are more effort, but they are there.

I do get that prices are way out of control but I just saw a sign at McDonald’s for a starting wage of $15/hr. When I worked there, I made $4.25/hr which would be about $9/hr today. I bought my car to start working there so this shit is not impossible today.

Bring the downvotes z’ers, the truth hurts
