Instagram also needs to “make a living”. They do that by making your life as an artist harder. You have to make a choice between using software that respects you and having a smaller following, or using a platform that, in every way that you can imagine, is abusing you.

if only there were platforms you could migrate to that wouldnt have this problem

finding out about rossman being transphobic is no surprise but geerling being a religious anti-abortion nutjob was devastating.

i dont want to sound like a dick but they really should’ve just forked the LineageOS apps that are maintained like they did with seedvault. this feels like theyre reinventing the wheel, or NIH

body mods we can all get behind

a fella could make a killing off of right to repair people who would prefer this model by importing them in bulk

Google is rolling out a new AI-generated feature on Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 devices called “Battery usage summaries” which translate battery use stats into natural language.

i have a functional brain.

why would anyone with that need AI to tell them “youre using youtube a lot. thats why your battery is low!”

thats what the 67% next to the youtube logo tells me in that settings menu

what a useless piece of shit feature.

Does the manufacturer or a dedicated candy seller sell them? Amazon may also be throwing their own tax on top of that

I am personally not going to give the benefit of the doubt to a corporation who I have witnessed working with Flock, or any entity using the 4th amendment breaking “ALPR” technology in general.

Your local store may use a less identifiable ALPR such as the Axon models that are coming to light, or may somehow be unaffected, but all the ones in my area have straight up flock cameras outside of them.

ALPRs are mentioned in their privacy policy: https://www.costco.com/f/-/privacy-policy

I may have been slightly a little intoxicated making that comment

Americans under the age of 30 voted for Harris by 4 points (50 percent Harris – 46 percent Trump), though young men and women diverged dramatically, with men under 30 voting for Trump by 16 points (41 percent Harris – 57 percent Trump), and women under 30 voting for Harris by 24 points (59 percent Harris – 35 percent Trump).

fuck off.

The youth turnout rate of 47% in 2024 was slightly lower than the historic 50% in 2020, but it remains a marked improvement from the 39% rate in 2016. To put it in historical context: young voter turnout in the United States had hovered between 35–40% for most elections since the 1970s. The 2020 and 2024 cycles represent a genuine structural shift.
