I know this one but not the one from the post. Is it slender man is something?

What a young movie!

It’s instructions running on a CPU. Is the application used to hurt people? If not I don’t care who put the instructions in a specific order.

Is Hyprland used to oppress people? Are profits from Hyprland used to oppress people? If not your analogy doesn’t make any sense.

Is the code racist? If not I don’t care who wrote it.

I got a call from French embassy yesterday. Apparently they will run out of possible PM candidates by the end of the year and will start offering the job to foreigners. My turn will be March 5th from 13:00 to 13:20.

No, oppressive systems are hard to escape with or without digital ID. Digital IDs don’t introduce anything special. By itself they are very convenient. If people don’t want them in UK it’s their issue. It doesn’t change how those IDs are used in other places.

In Spain we had digital ID since forever. In Poland we have digital ID since couple of years and having ID was mandatory for decades. There’s nothing Orwellian about it. Just because one shitty government supports some policy doesn’t make this policy bad.

LaTeX and gitlab but today it’s mostly for fun. To get any replies you have to use one of online generators. It doesn’t matter if it’s readable to humans anymore. AI has to be able to parse it.

Why would you hunt squirrels?

I only know it from pop culture and online comments but in TV shows everyone wants to be the “house that gives out good candy” and people often brag about investing in better candy. So I don’t know, maybe most people don’t care but the concept of a competition is definitely out there.

In Spain there’s a tradition to give out candy during The Wise Men parade. The town hall buys the candy, not the parents (socialism!), and they are mostly the cheapest ones because it’s just for fun.

You can give out candy without turning it into competition and forcing everyone to spend money.

Spending money on stuff is the essence of American existence. When you stop doing it, America will die.

That’s why I wrote “is said to be manly” and not “is manly”. People not only don’t realize it’s just a character, they also don’t questions the stereotype.

My take away is that people are stupid and believe that someone playing a character that is said to be manly is the same as actually being manly.

In theory yes but most non open source apps require google play services. Hard to tell how long those will work with waydroid and similar. Also running android apps this ways destroys battery apparently.

I will admit I’m ignorant here. What do companies use Google Play Services for? I developed some Android app and I never had to rely on Google. I just used F-Droid. Other than play store for distribution, which services provided by Google would be so hard to replace?

Some things yes. I don’t have any social media apps (not even lemmy) or YT but my car charger requires an app, my AC has an app I use from time to time, my Garmin GPS has an app, I have to use MS Authenticator at work, my car has an app and Android Auto and 90% of public car charges require an app. None of this has website alternative. Can I live without them? Well, not without work obviously and where I live electric car infrastructure is so tied to mobile phones I’m seriously considering just giving up and going back to a normal car.
