I hope it languishes around 3-4% at most, if it does get 7%-10% enshitification inevitably ensues and it will grow more and get worse

Seems like this is a lot of work to avoid using a poop knife?

Yes, 55 Percent of White Women Voted for Trump. No, I’m Not Surprised.

You mean these ones ?

Good, made a decision decades ago to have a vasectomy as there are way to many people in the world and misquoting Thoreau, what use a kid if no livable planet to raise them on ?

I always felt if the need to be a parent overwhelmed, I could adopt any number of abandoned kids.

I like kids but I’d fell way to guilty about having any. Not having them also let me retire at 35 and pursue my own interests, I’m now 58.

I’d suggest not, cats destroy and entire ecosystems, I’d suggest cat owners are self absorbed, entitled, narcicistic… or some combination.

Hell, there toxoplasmotic shit kills dolphins as it washes into the ocean.

Fuck my bf in the ass…

I’m at 0, no ones done anything agresious enough to warrant it yet. I dont think they ever could, annoying is another thing entirely though, I’d block for that.

I disagree with most people most of the time, I’m a stranger in a strange land

I dont use Reddit becase of it’s shitty commercial explotation. I was never on Twitter.

This is the internet, people who disagree with you are on it.

This is my partners favourite game.

Fair Email. I grabbed it from F Droid and paid direct though.

Yeah, smart TV, never connect it to the 'net, get a used shield pro, ADB and side load F Launcher. No ads.

Shelds remote can control the TV volume and its connected via HDMI and the Shiekd Pro remote switches both off and on. I use Kodi, Prime, Smart Tube Next and a couple local TV apps.

Not what u want but that’s where I am and it works well.

Be interested to see the responses

This is the most depressing thread I’ve read for some time.

It’s horrific to read some of the posts twisting bad news and making out as though it’s good news. It’s like the posters are watching children in a sandpit playing, ignoring the monster flood thats about to wash them away but taking joy in their play. Wtf?

Professor Boyd is right https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/07/un-expert-human-rights-climate-crisis-economy

Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’

And after reading this thread, i am even more sure Rees is

https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/06/14/opinion/science-civilization-collapse-environment-limits

Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”

You both use Signal, problem solved.

Thanks for that I have been considering a foldable and the creaae doesn’t worry me but how’s the durability ?

Burn it.

Wtf ever happened to Firefish ?

If the Government issues an order to remove a post that says “Don’t Get vaccinated and pray instead” vs “you called our President/King/Autocrat a cnut, so your post should be removed and your ID passed on so you can be prosecuted” are both having the govenrmt intervene, most sane people in democracies would be ok with the former but not the latter.

As an Australian I was NOT ok with the Australian governments esafety commissioner trying their stunt with Twitter. I find it doubly amazing the continued use of the service by any of our politicians , fcuk them. Set up a Mastodon instance and use that ffs.

The Australian Government issued a bunch of take down notices to Twitter and Musk said no

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-23/what-can-the-government-do-about-x/103752600

Musk decided to block them in Australian only which didn’t satisfy the Australian Government

He took them to court and the court sided with Twitter, (x)

https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/australian-court-elon-musk-x-freedom-of-speech-row-1236000561/

The complexity and contradictions were illustrated by Tim Begbie, the lawyer representing the eSafety Commissioner in court. He said that in other cases X had chosen of its own accord to remove content, but that it resisted the order from the Australian government.

“X says […] global removal is reasonable when X does it because X wants to do it, but it becomes unreasonable when it is told to do it by the laws of Australia,” Begbie told the court.

There is (or was) a North Korean Restaurant in Phnom Penh, in Cambodia. The staff were apparntly North Korean, so not sure how that worked and I was going to go but never go there back in the day.

The worst dishes (for me) I’ve had were in Malaysia , o coild nit find sonethbg Ibloeod, i started oit disliking the food in Myamar (before the recent civil war) not did start to find food I liked and the most suprisingly good food was Nepalese, at a little place owned by a Nepalese family. Not a fan of tomato based dishes so…

Outback Steak house ? Lol wot?
