During the revolution, could Apple block or tamper with all iphones such that revolutionaries cannot communicate?
  • Yeah. Not a huge fan of the goog especially lately for obvious reasons but at least you're somewhat limiting the number of western companies spying on you to the one, and they do offer good hardware for the price... Might go that way again too if I can't be convinced the potential issues are worth it idk

    At least they aren't apple

  • Thinking of going to Xiaomi as my ancient Pixel phone is starting to crap out. Seen some horror stories about updates not working or messing up devices on reddit-logo though, anyone have good long-term use experiences with them? Would rather not mess with custom roms because I need to use mobile banking apps that tend not to play nice with them.

  • Slugs are neat there are many active slugs in my area this time of year and they are cool to look at. I saw one carefully navigate its eye around a blade of grass the other day without touching it. Crazy sophisticated behavior for something that doesn't technically (Edit: according to some stuff I've read but see below) have a brain.

    Edit: I went and did some googling and I'm seeing papers speaking of slugs' brains so I guess this definition has changed and improved.

    Edit 2: It's possible the usage is inconsistent as there are (some) papers going back a long way describing the cerebral, pleural, and pedal ganglia of the slug as a brain.

    GIS is very cool and sometimes helpful for getting job type things congrats!

  • What does it mean to love someone?
  • All out sorry. All I've got left in stock is this off-brand Diogenean love (and today's special, piss)

  • How many showers do you take a day?
  • Live in Germany but originally come from the Failed States of America. I normally shower twice daily, unless I'm staying in the apartment all day and not going anywhere then I can do once. Do not have a bath tub, probably wouldn't use it much if at all if I had one

  • This is realistic because no one with an iPhone wants to improve society somewhat

  • The irrefutable fact that all the Oceangate soda can explorers all had iPhones just occurred to me last night. iPhones and the Oceangate submersible are basically the same product

    Also critical support to the EU for ruining their dumb proprietary plug party that shit was hilarious. Hope they do every single other overpriced, proprietary, and deliberately unfixable piece of garbage component Apple makes next

    I was talking about how awful Apple was with a friend the other day and started screaming about how much I fucking hate Apple (I guess there are iPhone owners who refuse to date Android owners? I guess they enjoy signaling that they are rich enough to not know anything about technology and have spent their lives treated like babies like the imperial Chinese nobles did with giant fingernails showing they never work? Man I hate apple) and my wife was like they are giving me an apple for my next work computer and I was like dafoe-horror

    I call it Rotten Apple Joe in the tradition of the classic film Yatta

  • Is an expensive mattress worth the money?
  • Probably if you have the money I know the mattress I have is wrecking my sleep but I can't commit to replacing it at this time. I know the frustration of remembering what a good night's sleep is like the rare time I go to a hotel very well...

  • Do you ever feel guilty about enjoying liberal media?
  • As long as it's not utter dreck like say recent Marvel movies (in which case I feel more disgusted than guilty for any kind of enjoyment), not really. 40k to me is especially redeemable because it's not trying to depict anything good. But some 40k fans don't seem to understand this and are capable of the most deranged imaginable takes on what it's about, this for sure is true.

    what's your hexbear unpopular opinion?
  • People should be allowed to have problematic faves. Here's an unpopular opinion for you, maybe not as highbrow as Nietzsche: Rudyard Kipling was a brilliant poet. And George Orwell's take on him was absolute Reddit level jackassery full of deliberate misreading.

    Pretty sure che-poggers would agree. Maybe also gramsci-heh

  • The peaceful development of nuclear energy is not only good and safer than other energy sources but probably the only path to the least shit level of climate change possible without some kind of eco-Thatcherist nightmare

  • Ever since I discovered this website

    My wife says all I do is "chat with someone who probably calls themselves 'Comrade Shitmonster' about how Joe Biden is a pedo"

    How do I convince her that

    1. Comrade Shitmonster is entirely correct

    2. this is all important praxis

    3. Joe Biden is a pedo

    Bird corpse site to collect biometric and employment data

    This convinced me to finally delete my bird corpse account. They say this shit is optional and even "premium" for now but I for one don't want to be doxxed by a whoopsie automatic opt-in to scrape data off my device.
