Ah, that is a valid approach but not as entertaining as arguments consisting of “I need this more!” and “I’ve spent two years of my life for this article!” Speaking as a spectator.

And if those three are mostly hydrocarbons, prepare to enter the state of war.

I agree with the message but it feels weird considering this flavour of memes was meant to be a hyperbole / sarcasm / laugh at your own expense.

EU usually frowns upon that though. Sure, the fines are so small that it’s negligible for Meta, but there should be some fines. But all I find via quick googling are this year’s sanctions over personal data processing in Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp. The nature of these data is not clear though.

I am not trying to say that WhatsApp is safe to use, mind you. I am pretty sure they will hand over all the info along with encryption keys at first government’s request (or any other highest bidder for that matter), but that’s only my perception of them as a company, with no hard proof at hand.

Why is it legal for them to advertise it as end-to-end encrypted then? I thought the main danger lies in WhatsApp insistence on backing up non-encrypted history to Google Drive/iCloud.

Of course, the existence of backdoors is usually not disclosed (duh), but can they actually read any message?

I am confused. Why? Bottle caps and bottles themselves usually are different types of plastic, so it would make sense to separate them. Or am I missing something?

Don’t warn. Act. Fine him. It won’t hurt him much, but would generate additional funds for European needs. Actively create Fediverse accounts that interact with the public. And so on…

For the price of mild inconvenience in some cases I get to add a tiny little bit of resistance against chromium monopolistic rule.

Thank you. Saved, as I know some of these are great, so might be others. (Going through top posts in my feed, hence late comment. )

[–] Frogodendron 2 points 1 year ago

No, but now I’ll try that, thank you!

Avocados are the worst offenders in another way — they turn from unripe to overripe in a matter of single day it seems, and the only way to check the ripeness is to cut them up. No other fruit pulls this trickery.

Hear and heed the words of the wise.
