I'm pretty sure people thought Trump would be good at economics literally just because of the Apprentice. Manny more people in the US watch reality TV than have any real understanding of politics. Look at all the Trump voters who literally seemed to have no idea he would do any of the things he very loudly said he was going to do. They just remember him being the boss guy who was supposedly good at business from that one show they watched about business.
Definitely won't be using ladybird then. If someone hates trans folks and just women in general enough that they literally see using inclusive language to refer to theoretical users as politics I don't see any reason to do anything to elevate their work.
I have places to go if I abandon everything, misgender myself for a passport that I can't really afford to pay for, and leave the country, but short of that? Nobody is standing up to offer me a job that can pay my rent. Nobody is offering me an affordable place to live. People offer sentiments, but that isn't the same as stability or material resources. People offer to talk, but that's not the same as the $20/hr remote job I need to find to keep my head above water.
Where is this help?
My current reality is trying to keep my mental health intact while a transphobic neighbor makes it hard to even do basic housework or just be at home in peace, all while scrambling to find a new job that actually pays enough for me to live that I can actually do between disability and time blindness. The people who do talk to me on a regular basis I try not to load down with how much bullshit I'm dealing with because the ones I do share it with start drifting away pretty damn quick
But if y'all have some remote work or other form of sustainable income until I manage to finish the game I'm working on and try to build something real for myself, I'm about it.
You can. You just can't have a small iPhone. Android phones are also a mainstream product, they're just not popular with people who have thousands of dollars to blow on iPhones.
Android phones are, in fact, more popular than iPhones worldwide, and have nearly half the market in the US.
Yeah. That's certainly a possibility. Thinking about it won't give me the answer, though. It could be that, it could also be something else. We don't learn the truth of what's going on in the world by just making up a good-sounding explanation and assuming we must be right, even if that's how people discussing things on forums largely operates.
I mean, yeah. That's the less than optimistic guess to make. But it's a guess, it isn't definitive. It'd be nice to know if that's what they're actually doing or whether it's just a change in language to cover their own ass. Because both are pretty common.
I'm curious what "Without it, we couldn’t use information typed into Firefox to perform your searches, for example" means. Like, is that literally just the search I type into the browser bar, or are they talking about scraping data from my browser to improve my searches the way a lot of phone apps do?
I could see some government somewhere passing a data security bill of some kind that makes rules around collecting and using data that redefines what that means in a way that includes something Firefox is already doing. I could also see them using this as a sneaky foot in the door as they plan to ramp up data profiteering like so many companies already have.
It would be nice if they'd clarify their reasoning for doing this a bit more specifically.
You can wash your clothes, yes, but I'd still expect Mr Catalyst to have more than one outfit. Though to be fair maybe his closet is just full of the same plaid shirts.
