This is a leading question. While I appreciate the sentiment, the question makes multiple assumptions and provides no reference/evidence. The question just wants to polarize the readers.

I do this all the time even when I am awake. I try to look at myself from a camera above me.

I support this argument. When comparing between FW and Mac, FW comes out on top for me. But do I need a high powered laptop? How often will I use it to its full ability? Most universities provide clusters to run your processing intensive jobs. If you are forced to use your own resources, using cloud resources is often cheaper than buying an expensive specced out laptop. I think the only justifications for buying a specced out laptop is when you are actively doing CAD, video editing or gaming. For everything else, a typical 500 USD laptop should be sufficient.

When the user deletes their account, does it show up as a deleted account in the archive or does it still show their username?

I agree! But also both Hinduism and Islam had cleanliness rituals baked into their religion. Maybe they were able to notice historically that periodic bathing multiple times a day, helped them to avoid diseases!

Sorry! Didnt mean to offend! Indians typically use their hands to wipe their butts with water. I think it is cleaner and uses less water relatively. The joke I intended to make was that India has been using water to wash themselves for several years whereas the west needed the invention of a bidet to force the change.

Meanwhile 1000 generations of Indians stare at you disgusted by your over reliance on technology.

OP I highly recommend following these steps to create your custom filter to clear your inbox! There are also plugins that you can use to do this. It is not required but maybe less intimidating to use.

That’s an interesting question though. How much WMDs do we need to destroy earth. Like really fuck it up. I suppose if we concentrate enough explosions on one side of the earth we may be able to alter the mass of the earth. This might change its path temporarily this leading to collision with either the moon or other planets.

Lol you are absolutely right! Some Indians have a major holiday coming up in 15 days. It is based on rice harvest. Its a whole shebang for 3 days.

I see how others make a point about other streaming services. But it is different with YouTube. Firstly the content is from peers not from production houses. Secondly it feels like an AH move to start out as a free service and then start charging after you know you have enough people hooked ( this is how drug dealers work too). It is not illegal but just feels immoral (not the drugs, just yt)

I have been using ungoogled chromium for a while. I don’t exactly get what you mean by torture.

“Flea market of federated social media” is an awesome description!

Why is installing a VPN considered bad? Is it because it is done without user consent? I don’t understand if there is any malicious intent.

Good catch! I think it is too long for him

Chaotic mofo 😂

Asbestos in there somewhere

I don’t understand! What does one stand to gain by attacking lemmy?

Okay I think I have it. I just installed the duckduckgo app and enabled the tracking protection in settings. And right now I am shocked. The amount of tracking attempts in the last 30 minutes has been mind boggling. 300 attempts and counting! Is this normal?

How do I get duckduckgo to block tracking attempts?
