It's the exact same issue with nuclear power vs fossil fuels.
Yep, for me Plex is the solution that "just works". I eventually got annoyed that my 4 subscriptions costing $80/month only having 2-4 of the shows I wanted to watch every month, with the other 1-3 not being available…
Exactly, landlords will be working 0.5 days and renters will be working 5-6 days. So I guess they were actually right if they meant 3.5 days on average. I rent a very basic one bedroom in an awful location which costs…
> 2.3 cents The exaggeration isn't even necessary, this is like a $1 fine for someone who makes $100k/yr and $30k on hand. I've had parking tickets which cost more for things which weren't even my fault (missing…
> Comparatively, immigrants don’t have the purchasing power to compete What makes you say that? As someone who's currently dating a Chinese immigrant I have been made aware of an entire world I didn't know existed. They…
I've been on Google phones since the first nexus, with the exception of a single Samsung before swearing them off due to bloatware and awful performance degradation, despite being twice the price of the nexus, and am…
don't forget about household debt exceeding GDP, with the housing market just being a ponzi scheme held up by a combination of foreign investors, immigrants, and a lack of new construction.
I couldn't find anything for Greenpeace, but I did find Friends of the Earth (which like Greenpeace, also split from Sierra Club), was split off "because of the [Sierra Club's] positive approach to nuclear energy. The…
It's a distraction from the real problem by playing on people's fears in a way they can better understand. I see some parallels with how the fear of nuclear power was used as a distraction for the real issue of CO2 and…

Having supportive parents is a privilege I wish I had.
Exactly, and the reason why they're cheaper now is because it's easier to dump their externalities on developing countries with lax environmental policy, whereas nuclear has unreasonably strict safety requirements which…
I agree, and personally found it upsetting once when someone who was from a relatively well off family tried shaming me for using the term slave in my code. I'm of Ukrainian descent, and my grandfather was separated…

Not sure if you'll see this, but I stand corrected, just received a test alert on my new pixel 7 despite having those turned off. I used to not receive those (or they were at least silent, I forget since I didn't…
They're also very distracting while driving, especially if you're relying on maps since they cover the entire screen.
I wonder then if it's an error on the providers side? Because I had Extreme and Severe on, AMBER and Test off, and Vibration On (under alert preferences for wireless emergency alerts). The only other data points I have…
Which provider are you with? They show up as Amber alerts for me and can be disabled from my unlocked pixel (stock os, not rooted) with bell. I have confirmed this by being with other people when an alert happened to go…
I don't know which phone you're using, but on my pixel if I have my ringer volume on silent, and the phone on "do not disturb" mode, amber alerts come in silent. I'm not sure which one, or the combination actually…
This feels like a variation of the trolly problem where currently we're on one that's killing millions (fossil fuels), and everyone is afraid to pull the lever for one that kills a handful because it has the…
I'm sorry, I should have clarified that my criticism was that these sorts of tools often get recommended as a security tool that can protect you from malware/spyware. There are still valid use cases for it like what…
Unfortunately without sandboxing, these sorts of tools just add an extra layer of maintenance to your system for a false sense of security [1, 2]. This can actually be harmful for less experienced Linux users who may…
In order to argue that, you have to list your goals, what you want to do with your phone, and the goals of an attacker. On Android, other than a few minor inconveniences, I can still achieve everything I want to with my…
