I agree wholeheartedly :)

Have you read the article? They're claiming (!) that they would use ads on websites to use mic data. If you know anything about Android or IOS, you'll know that you have to give mic permission to your browser for it to have access to anything. THEN the browser itself checks if a website needs access to your mic and you have to willingly give it. And lastly: Android indicates when your mic is hot with a green dot. So all of their claims are bs.

Come back if one of the OS developers admit to always listen on an OS level.

Thanks. Why I haven't thought about putting my 2fa and password manger in there I don't know.

Remember: The issue is never about security of methods for voting or about fraud-prevention, but to restrict people from voting, as DEM voters often don't or cannot vote in person.

(btw making elections a national holiday would significantly reduce this problem)

It had a reporting system. If you reported someone for camping, the vote would be turned against you and if people agreed you were kicked. 😂

We have one called "Westerland". It's a song - played by people visiting Sylt, an island where mostly elitist live and rich white people go on vacation. In one verse, they sing "And every person next to me is as dumb as I am.". The irony is lost to them as the chorus is "I want to be back in Westerland".

It makes absolutely no sense for advertising to switch all advertising to Spanish from a single day of recording. This would mean they disregarded ALL of the meta data they had on them. Location, things they visited, pages they visited etc. I've been on vacation and spoken a different language for two weeks and it didn't change the language of my ads. It just makes no sense to do that from a single data point, when all else contradicts them being/speaking Spanish.

That means the info is gone and nowhere to be found anymore. Yeah, post it somewhere else from now on, but don't delete your old stuff.

Yeah, not actively supporting reddit anymore is one thing, but with deleting every comment/post you basically just hurt users. Reddit doesn't give a fuck.

You won't believe how often I search for a problem only to find 50 "Thank you"s for a deleted comment.

Arguing that the female version makes it a second choice and then erasing it completely makes absolutely no sense. If german was a language with no difference in gender this might work, but that's not what it is. We have female forms for most nouns so this will not work. A gender asterisk includes all genders. The argument that it puts female form second is also week as in german the emphasis of a word is usually on the last syllable.

Like it or not, our way of talking and writing is excluding people and is biasing our perception as to which things (especially jobs) are mainly male and what are female. There are enough studies about language and gender bias out there.

Words have power and we should take it seriously.

Oh, that's why you get skins for playing Fortnite on mobile.

Achso, bei Fahrradfahrern wird plötzlich auf "wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen" gehört um Unfälle zu reduzieren und weniger schlimm zu machen. Bei Autos ist "Eigenverantwortung" in der Geschwindigkeit gegeben. Das kann man sich nicht ausdenken.
