and they started requiring government id in the us

yeah it feels like everyone on here is me

And my Axe!

what are the fairphone and Jolla phones lacking?

it’s only the open source part? normally, google injects proprietary code into phones, usually through “google play services”? idk I’m just kinda a hobbyist

we accidentally windows 12

what countries still have fortified rice? it feels like a cold war thing idky

the problem is that any metric to exclude voters will be manipulated by politicians to exclude demographics. unless you can come up with a simpler concept than “every citizen over 18 can vote” people will move the goal posts: eg, if you require education, do private schools count? what happens if your school loses accreditation after you graduate? what if you’re home schooled? what if your parents didn’t let you goto school?

wakey wakey

i mean… you can also just look around and see the guy with the dorky out-of-place classes…

yeah thinking of some of the ppl ive met on the internet, id rather be talking to a bot lol… jkjk

but i think finding out after the fact that i was interacting with a bot somehow seems soulless… like, something i like about the internet is the (small) feeling of still being connected to the world. and that’d be lost if i knew i was interacting with a bot. i imagine there’s people who feel differently, but i think that’s nuts. if im interacting with a bot, i want to know it.

also like, in responding to you, i hope to further some intelligent discussion and positively affect the world. if you’re a bot, then that’s hopeless. or maybe im just affecting the ai model positively, idk.

have you met an engineer who doesnt copy code from stackexchange? I’m not saying they blindly paste it in and forget about it, but copying a line or two that you (now) understand is fine.

i did this a month ago, ate a pear and was like wow i havent eaten a pear in decades… just strange that you just dont come across pears that often.

have you needed to use microG for any apps? is it a sufficient replacement for google play?

how do you know it’s not bots?

you can still be a good engineer and still copy code from stack exchange. i wasn’t saying windows engineers are bad

windows engineers have probably been copying snippets from stackoverflow for decades, which may have been copied from the kernel or some other copyleft product

reddit is fine. i thought Tencent owned more of it but just googled it and it’s a pretty small percentage (11%). but i am worried that reddit will get worse soon and i want there to be an alternative. so I’m still using both.
