I have a degoogled phone which apparently can’t run firefox because of the lack of google play services. At least, I think that’s what’s going on (WTF, Mozilla). But Fennec is a great replacement. It feels just like firefox. I forget if it was default or not, but obviously ive got the ublock extension. I’ve noticed some webpages crash more often on Fennec, but maybe that’s just because I’m looking for differences and getting confirmation bias.

Europe is OK with going Huawei if Google and Apple keep up with their shit.

They should be OK with going Huawei and Xioami, but unfortunately they really want to remain America’s faithful dogs.

So it’s a nazi propaganda machine with extra steps?

Please don’t be silly. If you’re in the US, you should absolutely never be “interrogated” by police. Get a lawyer. Always. No matter how innocent and clever you are. You should be terrified of the police, not plagiarism machines.

As a kid, tho, I loved 9volts because they had the best connectors.

It’s the best connector because you can lick it

Also unsurprising that the stochastic parrot simulation is fucking up its mission of being a propaganda machine

Recipes should be written with the quantities in the procedure. So instead of reading

Mix flour, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl

It should be

Mix flour (300g), salt (1/4 tsp), and sugar (20g) in a large mixing bowl

That way you don’t need to read/refer to ingredient list, read/refer to ingredient list, etc

I’m not saying that discouraging reproduction is eugenics. I’m saying that @Aitherios@lemmy.ml’s attempt at defining Eugenics is wrong. Saying it’s about producing the best “GENES” possible is just post-hoc reasoning to make it sounds more scientific.

Eugenics is based on 19th century racial science. If someone is advocating for any sort of population control that uses that framework (of bettering the “race”), they’re doing eugenics.

A good example of what’s not eugenics is China’s one-child policy. It wasn’t aimed at creating a “better” race of any kind, and It actually provided exemptions for ethnic minorities. The goal wasn’t to create a better type of human race, it was to prevent the population from growing faster that what the economy could support. IMO it was probably unnecessary, but definitely wasn’t eugenics.

However, if there was an alternate reality where china instituted the one-child policy only for ethnic minorities in an effort to make the nation a pure Han state, that would be eugenics. If they did it based on IQ, that would be eugenics. And if they exempted minorities from the policy out of a belief that the Han were inferior, that would also be genetics

These threads always attract a variety of reactionary opinions

[edit] whoops, didn’t mean to reply. Yours were not the reactionary opinions lol. after the revolution, all tetrapods will rightly be understood to be fish

Eugenics is about producing the best GENES possible

“Eugenics” was a term decades before “genes”

Even if the etymology was different, you’d still be very wrong [about what “eugenics” is]

Ah, cool. That sounds useful for like if you’re recording at a protest/action

Wow, too bad they didn’t at least open-source it. Take it off the app stores and disconnect the cloud service, but at least let others develop it

The trades aint what they used to be 😔

I can. Be nice and I might.

The original intent was a hobby project, not a competitor to orher kernels

Look at the success of Linux. It’s not in opposition to capitalism, it’s ba kernel widely used by capitalists. If Linux was truly a threat to capitalism, google wouldn’t use it in their phones.

I still think that Linux and open source are great. They’re just not neccesarily anticapitalist. They definitely can be in certain circumstances, and definitely make some rent seeking impossible

Interlingua is cool. I know a decent amount of spanish and portuguese, and understanding IG interlingua speakers without studying any of the language is very satisfying
