Men feel scared and uncomfortable because they’re afraid to be told they were wrong to hide their feelings?

Or “men would rather talk to superpowered autocorrect rather than sharing their feelings with family and friends”

One thing I love about Germany is that people have this understanding where privacy is fundamental and not something to argue about. Because they know being able to easily identify people leads to disaster. It’s just about a political swing away.

Yes! It’s good they’re doing this. It would be better if they weren’t letting Nintendo brick homebrewed consoles.

Here’s a scientific dissertation on how and why that phrase sucks: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=998565

It’s so easy to use but very hard to fights against. Worst case of bullshit.

Apple building backdoors for CCP and sharing any and all data with them: am I a joke to you?

100% of the time? Alternative OS? Do you think there’s one OS and that’s windows? Do you think people who need something to work 100% of the time choose Microsoft?

Tech companies touting privacy with “trust us bro” slogan

Saying “fuck you” would be more like “we’re no longer selling devices in uk and iCloud won’t work anymore”

Show them this: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/22/whatsapp-wins-reprieve-in-india-over-user-data-sharing/

The dispute began when WhatsApp required users to accept expanded data sharing with Meta’s platforms or risk losing access to the messaging service. While European users can opt out of such sharing, Indian users cannot — a distinction that regulators found problematic.

Meta doesn’t know what you’re talking about, because WhatsApp is e2ee. But they know:

• who are you talking to
• when
• how often
• what else were you doing before/during/after the talk
• links that are shared (the preview fetch is not e2ee afaik)

These are all valuable metadata and given enough of it, they can even infer what you were talking about. Target you with ads on their other platforms (but rumors are that WhatsApp will have ads inside eventually)

That’s why Legends Arceus is my favorite game. Catching Pokémon is a joy instead of a tedious activity to be avoided. I hoped they’d keep the mechanics, maybe next game. I even liked lets go Pikachu more than others because it had a different mechanism at least.

what am I missing now that I got as a kid?

Free time. Pokemon games are, and always have been, very slow and grindy. Even in the latest entry (Violet) you need to actively avoid encounters since animations take so long

I install some local adblocker to their devices and they don’t see those ads

Did you miss when its founder sided with Republicans (the current ones, mind you) or are you ok with it?

He might be born on 1988, although I could not verify this. He started his PhD on 2009, that’d make him 21 at that time, which is not unusual

Best practice is to link to the most privacy respecting platform
