I bet google doesn’t have to. They can still mine your data and sell it for profit. They’re a data company first after all.

“You’re talking to me”: How do we determine from which POV we’re looking from? Seems like the POV is from whomever sends this picture, so wouldn’t that mean that we’re looking through OPs eyes? CMV

To go hang out with people in a cool setting while having alcohol-like drinks without the problems. Like going to a Kava bar or something, or tea bar. Bunch of places out there with themed drinks to hang out. Sometimes you like the taste of cocktails but don’t want to get drunk.

But who was phone?

When I tried setting up a new computer I initially started with Windows. Going through that new setup process was such a pain in the ass with how Microsoft tries to connect you to their services. I just want to use the damn computer without any of these ‘extra’ services. Like, is it so difficult to have an OS that you can just simply install and use without any BS? Its what finally pushed me to move to Linux. Haven’t looked back since.

Wow, that research article is loooonng. Could only get halfway before needing a break. Really cool insights!

Give it some time, Lemmy will get there eventually.

Weren’t the French pretty salty about the UK? I recall seeing some articles on punishing the UK for leaving

Taiwan is an independent and Democratic country. China should stop bullying other countries in their own territorial waters.

It’s really hard but I struggle to tell people about my operating system. I use Arch BTW.

Looks like the FBI kept his message from going through because it was a faux pas on the senders side to not know who Joe is.

While I agree, the UK needs to chip a little more in too. This is everyone’s problem, not just the United States.

Have you heard of the five stages of grief? That’s probably the best first way to deal with it. No capitalist/socialist/fascist/technocratic/authoritarian utopia will be able to fix that. I don’t believe there is a better system yet than what the western world already has. Maybe one day UBI will exist and everyone will have more freedom to enjoy their passions but even then it you’ll still have to work most of your life.

Best you can do is figure out what you want out of your life and take the steps to do it. Like what most people have said, living below your means helps with funding your goals and protecting yourself against accidents. Find ways to do what you want now but know there’s always a trade off. It isn’t fair but I don’t think it ever has been, except for a very privileged class of people.

I used to vape in college but afterwards decided to quit. Part of what made quoting easier was moving away and breaking from routine because for me it became a part of my day-to-day. The other thing that helped me was doing cardio. Running would suck so hard because my lungs had a hard time keeping up. That shitty feeling also helped push through cravings.

Took me a second. I first thought it was about working from home.

Amazing

Even normal people know that Italians are made of spaghetti

How come? I can see this being helpful.

No, they’re not. You can use sandboxed google services, if you want to. Or you can use FOSS apps.
