These Fascist and Sexist nutbags are all on another level.
Why is anyone giving them any time at all!?

Some people will go to extreme lengths to get their 15 minutes of fame (or infamy).
If I wanted to watch car crash TV, I would just watch Dashcams Australia.
5 studs wide is always challenging. I’m attempting to do some Jimny’s that are Speed Champion scale. This has provided me a lot of inspiration.
From the report; “THIS REPORT AND ALL STATEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE THE OPINIONS OF GRIZZLY RESEARCH LLC AND ARE NOT STATEMENTS OF FACT.”
In other words, Grizzly Research didn’t do any research and are just making shit up.
If this report is true, it would reflect poorly on Apple and Google more than Temu.
iOS does have protections in place that prevent an App from modifying its own executable code; the current argument about Emulators in the EU is showing that Apple is very strict when it comes to this sort of thing.
Even if the App was able to reconfigure itself to access data it does not have permission to access, it still needs to ask for permission.
I assume Google have similar protections in Android.
Someone made a brick-built variant of this for a 48x48 baseplate using parts salvaged from the Starwars set 75334.
These sets were allegedly terrible and were being sold on clearance everywhere. They had some cool minifigs so people were offloading the bricks only on eBay for cents-in-the-dollar.
I now have two nice craterscapes for my Galaxy Explorer 10497.
Obligatory favourite brick; classic castle wall with cobbled window 4444p01.
Obligatory least-favourite brick; classic corner piece 4737. It was held by one stud top and bottoms and made for really unstable models.
The problem is that they are not actively asking permission.
They are technically legally asking permission through the EULA, but nobody reads these.
Apple do this differently, they require the user to opt in for each of their services, and except for a pitiful amount of storage, the user has to pay for a useful amount of storage. This makes the user the customer, instead of the product. They could make it easier to roll-your-own “cloud” storage by NAS, but I assume that it isn’t worth their effort.
This is one of the things I love about the Lemmy community. No one wants to argue, every one can be passionate about their opinions, but still respect other people’s passion.
I used Linux back in the 90s as my primary OS. They were simpler times. Since then I have used BeOS, various versions of Windows and (primarily) MacOS.
I am seriously thinking of going over to Linux as my primary OS because of all the TechBro “AI” bullshit that Microsoft, Adobe, Apple and Google are trying to ram down our throats.
The bottom has dropped out of the OEM software licence market. Microsoft have to find a different way of making money. Their loss-leading hardware sales have not borne fruit so they are getting desperate.
All they have left is services, which means that the only way the can actually make money is selling out their customers private information.
The consequences will that their record profits since COVID-19 will dry up and they will need to figure out other ways of cutting expenses.
They will crash like they did in the 1980s and rationalise their business model by selling off their smaller branches. IGA will suddenly have a lot more members, Foodworks will be much bigger and Tuckerbag may even make a comeback.
The problem is that they have overcapitalised. Near us, we have two very large Woolworths within walking distance from each other. Two suburbs over, it is the same with two very large Coles’s.
The only reason why Dutto is pushing Nuclear as an option is because he is a crony.
Wind power generation has a barrier to entry, but it is much lower than Coal or Fracking, which is why there is so much corporate-sponsored astroturfing against it. Coal and Fracking also has a lower barrier to entry, but is cheap compared to Nuclear.
Solar is the great equaliser. Anyone can throw a handful of solar panels on their roof, connect them to an array of old car batteries and add an inverter and voila! Instant home power generation. Get out from under of the boot of Power Companies and be self-sufficient (as long as you don’t want to use a hair-dryer).
If the proles can get of free energy and no longer need to rely on The Grid, all of the Corporations that own Dutto will no longer have any political power.
Dutto is not offering Nuclear as an alternative to Coal and LNG to the electorate, he is offering it as an alternative to his lords and masters.
Also, go straight to your tag providers website by typing it in your browser, don’t follow any links in the message or email.
The term “essential oils” is both a valid description and a marketing gimmick.
You have heard of “vanilla essence” and “orange essence”. It is basically an oil that is derived from a foodstuff to extract the essence or flavour.
Marketers love the phrase because the ignorant plebeians interpret to mean that they are required (essential) for human survival.
Not too far from the truth.
They will try to pressure or force you into inputting your PIN.
The other risk is that they will observe your PIN because you aren’t using biometrics.
Nuke/Pave or have a decoy phone (with your primary phone powered down and packed in your luggage) for use when travelling.
And if you are travelling to certain jurisdictions, just leave your primary phone at home!
This is what The Algorithms have been doing from the start.
It is only just now coming to light just how manipulative YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram are configured.
It isn’t about increasing Ad views or Viewer engagement; it is all about controlling viewer opinions and belief systems.
Great news, but does anyone else get Nanites/Grey Goo vibes from this?
This is purely so Rupe can turn around to Labour and say “I made you, so do as I say!”.
