Thank you for sharing this story, I’ve never read it before and holy hell do I understand the main character!

I’ve literally called out of work to go hiking on so many occasions (like 10 times just this year so far)

And I don’t wanna stop

It captures them a shitton of data that they very likely sell or use to get advertisers on board.

Did you at least become Batman out of it?

By the time I noticed the typo in the image I had long since closed the tab where I put together the meme so I’d have to start over.

Kinda fun was that I posted this meme in a few places and it was only here in this thread where people pointed it out, it seems that a lot of people missed it lol

FFS I didn’t even notice the typo there lol

Only if they chose not to compete

They only did the right thing after getting caught openly doing the wrong thing, so I’d say I’d still be pissed.

They should have never put the system in place with such a simple vulnerability (which to me) says they take such a laxodasical approach to security that I wouldn’t trust them even now.

1-2 FPS‽ The horror! faints

Jokes aside I can see more of a difference than that by simply forgetting to close a few tabs of YouTube before starting my games. Or even starting a game when my room is already hot.

1-2 FPS is basically a rounding error IMO.

Strip out the batteries and motors, hook them up to some after market controllers, slap them in a classic car, and now we’re cooking.

Though I don’t know how, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t possible.

“You should have driven this much after owning the car this long, so we’re going to put that in the odometer.”

Was my guess.

Probably to void warranties, make cars come back sooner for preventative maintenance, and come back sooner for leases.

Or found it on mobile and didn’t have access to right click

I’ve started using FreeCAD for CAD work, I’ve used Fusion 360 for 5 years before trying FreeCAD (again, I tried it a few years ago) and it works pretty good.

It’s different and it’s taking some getting used to but it’s working out quite nicely so far.

Slavery never ended in the US, it just got better PR.

“Only prisoners can be sentenced to slave labor.”

Makes a while bunch of stuff punishable by prison time and makes prison sentences longer.

And not just memes and shitposts you find elsewhere

Make things and share

It ain’t gonna be perfect but that’s half the fun

I’d say there’s also some corners of Lemmy that feel like the slightest provocation leads to an absolute dog pile of people being super angry looking for a fight.

That aspect blows but it’s usually helped by making sure that the instance your account is on is federated (or specifically NOT federated) with specific other instances.

Though this place is so much more chill than Reddit it’s fucking mindblowing

Holy fuck!

That’s fucking awful!

How I’d do it is basically

72 * (10+3)

(72 * 10) + (72 * 3)

(720) + (3*(70+2))

(720) + (210+6)

(720) + (216)

936

Basically I break the numbers apart into easier chunks and then add them together.

On the note of “keeping your phone in airplane mode”:

No Bluetooth enabled devices is a good point too.

Those devices broadcast identifiable data whenever Bluetooth is enabled, and that data can be logged very easily. If an app has Bluetooth permissions it has the capability of logging that info. Or a simple device that logs nearby Bluetooth devices. About 2 years ago I placed a device in my apartment next to a road and within a week I had the habits of my neighbors logged with accurate timestamps. I took that device apart after that, it’s a macropad now.

So for the sake of privacy, no Bluetooth headphones, watches, etc near your “Go bag” phone when it has a battery in it. IMO avoid such devices in general.
