I can think of at least one comm that I, a filthy American (for my sins), frequent, and which has remained completely devoid of political discussion.

I can’t think of more than one at this precise moment, but I’m sure if I wracked my brain for a bit…

Which is why I will never buy a car made after 2015 if I can possibly avoid it. If I were writing the rules,

My car should not be capable of pay-walling any features
Just like my phone, I should have fine grained control over what data my car shares and with whom
No vehicle controls that may need to be accessed while driving should require more than one click on a touchscreen to access
Any touchscreen UI should be easily controllable from a steering wheel type d-pad
No non-entertainment vehicle controls should be primarily accessible from a touchscreen
Any controls that affect the speed, position, size, or access of the car should only have secondary touchscreen controls that are upstream of any failures modes in the primary physical control; in other words, a UI control should only be a backup method for important functions of the vehicle, and they shouldn't be able to break the main method if they break

When I had to reluctantly buy a used car, I made it a point to buy a used car no newer than 2015 and this is why. Well this and touchscreen mania.

We’ve all heard Wonderful Christmastime. The signs have been there.

Given all of the feuding going on right now, I would hold out for more sources and be extra skeptical. From my brief searching this doesn't seem to be well substantiated.

It isn't like we need this to be true to know that she is an absolute ghoul anyway.

If he hit a nerve it was by platforming actual antisemitism, which only serves to further muddy the waters amid all the bad-faith accusations of antisemitism towards anyone who thinks a genocidal government regime is, like, not a good thing.

I really don't think there is any common cause to be found with a fellow like this, and the most likely outcome of this detention is that he will probably abruptly change his tune on Israel. And he may have some light internal bleeding.

If it had been a former Holiday Inn Express employee, maybe, but I don’t feel this guy has a lot of credibility as is.

I love my city so fucking much.

This is light years beyond the level of multitasking I aspire to on my best days, so I really have to give my respect.

Grindr has been around 14 years? Weird way to feel old.

Remember folks, it only takes 3 clicks to block in Lemmy.

Yeah I am just lodging a reaction based on my body chemistry. YMMV.

Jeans, sure. A shirt? That smells like laundry as soon as I take it off.

So lower is better, or?

The look on the cats face says it all: we never doubted for a moment.

The increasing clarity that “big cloud” is one of the most existentially dangerous threats in the long term. The idea of not truly owning my own data, particularly in an era where truth itself is becoming more and more malleable, became intolerable.

Secondarily, the desire to get off the subscription hamster wheel and own all my own media.
