I’m not talking about repainting anything, why are you moving the goalposts? Just buy a white car AND use a visor, what’s wrong with that? And in the future, if this stuff is actually good, maybe all cars can come already painted with it?

Maybe the fact that the experiment was done when outside were only 20-22 degrees made the difference less noticeable? Otherwise I can’t explain why all the other tests I’ve found said the difference was 5-10+ degrees.

Could you link one of these? All the ones that I can find say there’s quite a bit of a difference

Mythbusters did an experiment with a black car and a white car hitting in the sun. The black car was 12 degrees Celsius hotter. Claiming that the paint makes no difference is such a weird take. I thought this was common knowledge as well as many people I’ve met avoid darker colours in summer and such.

Oh. I had different sets. I had all 3 options but not against each other. So it seems they’re randomized.

Edit: hadn’t read the other replies. People have already figured that out, it seems.

He’s literally using the wrong pronouns and name for his transgender daughter. He’s literally said he agrees with JK Rowling’s transphobic comments.

You know how after a certain time has passed it’s no longer a spoiler to talk about how Vader is Luke’s father? Well, there’s certain stuff that’s so obvious and widely known that people will stop believing that you don’t know about it and will assume you’re trolling.The fact that you keep insisting that you haven’t seen evidence of him being queerphobe is on you at this point, imo.

Rural US most likely. Place is too big, too few people to be worth for comoanies to invest. So many places only have 1-2 providers at best, afaik.

Hehe, you reminded me of this amazing song. Thanks. And no, I didn’t reply to the wrong thread. But at the end of the song she says “beware of me”, which is quite fitting for this thread, I feel.

How do you know what the limits of this technology is? How do you know that they couldn’t be able to reach that point in 5-10-20-50-100-1000 years?

Unless you’re thinking of the current iteration of the technology and not its future evolutions.

Look, at this point it’s just an agree to disagree thing. You think it’s ok for companies to do irreversible operations as long as subjects are desperate enough to consent. Others think that’s abusive. There’s obviously no changing your mind. That’s ok, just move on.

And no. If you’ve spent any amount of time here then you know that a ton of people here are also against bezos and pretty much every other billionaires out there.

And for what it’s worth, I do see your point. And I’d probably be inclined to agree. But at the same time, I do see the fact that it’s morally questionable

Yeah, that could be true. But seeing as how 99% of companies are following the same business model of squeezing more and more profit out of people, I’m gonna go with Occam’s razor on this one and say they’re most likely just trying to make more money because they can. As long as it keeps working, they’ll keep doing it.

Seconding nobara. Garuda also worked out of the box for me and also mint. (Except that I had to force update the kernel for mint because some stuff wasn’t working with the recommended one)

Does that include fairphone’s explanation for the removal of the headphone jack? Cause to me it sounds reasonable. It could be bs, sure, but I don’t think it is.

There’s also keepass2android. Not sure what the difference is tho.

Fitness function, nice. Will remember that. Ty :D

Sure, but the question was how they got to the number. If it was a random big number, then fine, that answers my question, but I was just wondering if there was a reason behind it. Usually when people make that joke they just purposefully misinterpret the trend which is why I went for the 1% or 33%

I know it’s a joke, but where did you get that number? If it’s at 3% in January and 4% in February. Either it’s a flat 1% increase/month or an increase of 33%. How else can it be interpreted?

No to all 3 questions afaik.

Because when you give most people the choice of convenience vs privacy, they’ll choose the thing that they can feel 99 times out of 100(convenience ). Most people don’t care about metadata because first of all they have no idea that’s even a thing, let alone what it does. And they’re not visibly affected by it. The difference between using signal and Whatsapp for the vast majority of people is the fact that one is green and has everyone you know on it and the other is blue and nobody besides me uses it.

But, if you give signal the convenience of being able to use it with everyone, then the choice becomes “do I wanna use this app that my friend is saying is spying on me or do I wanna use the secure, hacker app?”

And hopefully, more and more people will switch and we can be rid of fucking meta
