It may be like how some country listings are implemented: United States / English first, then the rest alphabetically.

This is followed here: English, Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish.

Unfortunately, it seems uBO on Safari/iOS needs to get with it! The native “hide distracting items” feature does allow you to select and remove it, though.

Perhaps more frustratingly, if you bite the bullet and browse the "new" version on your mobile browser, the page will eventually become non-responsive and have ~60% of your screen covered by a bottom banner that prompts you to download their app to continue. It's like they are actively trying to kill their userbase.

Astroturfing, eh? This is verbatim the same comment as another user in this thread. Strange...

yawn. go troll elsewhere.

i guess we’re seeing why your first account was nuked. if you’re failing to make a convincing point, you have to do better than replying with “LOL.”

thinking that those two things need the same level of attention is for sure a false equivalence for reasons stated elsewhere. glad we got to the bottom of that one. further, we also saw that Americans do care, which is why we had elected officials there last month and can read about it through AP.

Do you think that the issues deserve the same attention, or are you perhaps making a false equivalence?

As far as I’m aware, children aren’t being shot in the head and forcibly starved by an occupying force in Cuba. But to say that folks don’t care is clearly inaccurate.

Empathy is not a Chinese psyop.

Anyway, here's actual evidence of elected officials contradicting your anecdotal narrative:

instead of making potentially weak comparisons, could we consider why this feature was implemented in the first place? image editing models exist for good reason - I struggle to see a clear “why” for this product other than to cram generative content in yet another existing product.

Wrong metric. We saw a significant drop in _imports_ until the policies were ruled unconstitutional.

they make you upgrade to Tahoe and force you to use liquid glass

at a micro/personal level, absolutely keep having the tough conversation that it’s not okay if the topics arise in your circles. encourage others to reflect on the issue more if they seem apathetic, and paint various pictures to help folks overcome their own biases.

conjuring empathy in others is not easy, but it is worth it.

> I don't want coworkers with deeply skewed perspectives, inadequate objectivity and who cannot coexist with those of different world-views

and I don’t want coworkers that are okay with killing children in Gaza or conducting mass surveillance and calling it a “different world-view”.

make no mistake, it’s mindsets like yours that put us on the path we currently tread.

> I'd go work for the Voldemort companies in a heartbeat […]

being honest and vulnerable about being a shitty person does not beget or earn you any kind of mutual respect. we are simply not the same.

i don’t think statements like this help reinforce how serious the situation is; rather, it subtly normalizes it.

your straw man is misrepresenting the scale of violence ICE has inflicted on communities across the country. the article states it was after Alex Pirettis death that he was inspired to act. ICE has killed many people across the country during activities which they have no business conducting. A man in Houston was killed last week, then days later, another in Maine. They’ve shot citizens and fabricated evidence to cover up their actions in multiple instances.

Wake the fuck up and stop trying to whatabout your way to a more comfortable mental state.

My favorite part of the article is a sentence of almost soft encouragement to other privacy-minded vigilantes:

> These units sit on open roadside poles — reachable, visible, and currently without any publicly announced tamper-resistance plan.

Direct action rocks!

Too many random folks coming out of the woodwork to denounce unions by way of vague personal experience without anything concrete to back it up. Be evidence based, people! Anecdotes are meaningless! Like, I know there's astroturfing here, but damn.

Collective bargaining vis-a-vis unionization allows workers to more effectively push back against bullshit like RTO mandates and mass layoffs. They help reign in the massive pay packages to executives who directly benefit from laying folks off. And there's a reason why companies monitor internal communications and engage in retaliatory actions against employees for even discussing organizing. Yes, that's technically illegal under US labor law. But corporations do not care and will accept the risk of a non-guaranteed fine to make an example and enforce a chilling effect for other workers.

The fact that unions aren't a perfect solution to the overwhelming might of capitalist interests at each and every workplace does not mean that unions are bad, worthless, or not on the side of the individual worker. They are designed to make the tilt of power more equitable.

Could you share why you feel that way to help add more to the conversation and give context to your own opinion?

prime “can’t see the forest for the trees” sort of thinking, here

Oh wow, creating a boogeyman by thinking how motivated people could do something bad but having no evidence for that sounds both terrifying and exhausting. Glad you made it out alive. Wish the animals did, too.

What “scare”? You mean the novel coronavirus pandemic which killed millions?

The Texas state government overrode city ordinances and attempts by private businesses to enforce masking for in-store shopping. Simply saying it was wide open like the rest of Texas is extremely inaccurate. Here’s the EO which refutes, like, every single weird point you’re trying to make:

I’m a scary vegan that’s probably healthier than you. What is this “humane harvesting” - could you describe it and how it relates to university pharmacology departments?

Consuming animal proteins that cause cancer and promote zoonotic diseases are not “one of the healthiest things you can do”. Got anything peer reviewed? Share away.

oh no, did the scary vegans tell your group of folks to stop abusing and killing animals?

or “slavery”

I think the evidence is strong, here. Quite difficult to form new memories without a brain!

A massive chasm exists between good, creative ideas and ideas that aren’t nonsense.

I wasn’t aware Apple announced an offering.

Regardless, the general sentiment about this hardware is obviously not great, anecdotally I know zero people who own these (or they at least refuse to wear them), and they are exceptionally rare in both US major metros I frequent.

Perhaps their popularity exists moreso in print than reality?

January Sixth was not a protest, it was an attempt to interfere with government processes to prevent Biden from being elected - so a really shitty attempt at a coup.
