We need a new , having got almost 2 decades out of the current one. What is the point in online things you can't try in the ? Today we were told () that "that one is only". If we can't test it out for 5 minutes we can't buy it. Do people really buy something that needs to last 5-years plus without even touching one? Haven't got the time or patience to risk a one.

The "Does factory reset really clear everything these days?" thing is one I've wondered about.

I also presume that the TV , who are starting to earn more from users' watching habits and selling the data to the ad giants than they do from the , will be putting in LTE/5G modems that aren't exposed to the user, so the sets have network connections without relying on the user to provide it.

A few people on Bluesky mentioned dating apps recently so here’s something for your amusement, a two-parter from 2020, when I tried the dating apps: https://www.andcurve.com/2020/03/31/on-getting-into-dating/

(I’m in a steady relationship now with someone I met on Twitter, which was also a dating app.)

@kevinteljeur Neat read, thanks for sharing.

Also. Not today surprised that was the source of the match. As you observed, it's a dating app too. I (and others, I'm sure) have noted that any app that functionally replicates the in some way will allow for those things that took place within it

So and all those other things too that humans in groups like to get up to.

Give it a bit and we'll hear of too

nothing makes me more insane than the phrase "selling your body" btw. like was i not also my at every other i've had where i had to be on my feet all day, lifting boxes, in a warehouse, etc. why is it that sex is uniquely labeled as "selling your body" while every other job is sorted into another category, no matter how much that job might have a physical impact on your body. lmao.

Anyone interested in a used black P30 Lite Smartphone in excellent condition for 99€? 🤔 blue/cyan leather case included.

Sending from 🇪🇺 🇩🇪. Could go a little bit lower if you're tight on budget, but not too much (also need it 🙃).

I'm going to have a bit of a (less charitable people might say ) here. If you just want jokes and cute bunny pictures, feel free to skip this one.

I'm ranting about .

Ages ago, furnaces had one in them, to spin the that moves air through your house.

cazabon,

So of course each furnace line has a different (in my case) for the motor, even though all of them are actually the same 1/2 HP GE motor and controller -- they've just had different "blown" into them.

And if you try to use the "wrong" motor from another furnace, the control board says "no way!" and won't work.

So Rheem gets to keep that are only to them, and only for one model of furnace, so they're stupidly .

So there's an aspect of this Supreme Court case on "refusing service on first amendment grounds" that seems particularly complicated. I think it's worthwhile to choose a different example that would perhaps fall into the same kind of situation for analysis. This leaves aside the questions about standing and such that have been raised in the existing case.

Let's say you have a Muslim voice over artist who promotes their services. A member of a protected class comes to them and wants them to produce a series of anti-Muslim ad spots, which would require the voice over artist to use their own voice to promote those messages.

Would it be reasonable for that voice over artist to refuse that work? How is this different or not different from the Supreme Court case at issue?

cazabon,

@lauren

It's a good way to look at the issue.

For me, it seems to come down to the between something (goods, service) vs being paid to something.

You run a hotel, offering rooms for money. Can't someone based on their race, sexuality, etc.

But you offer to create something new for people - I don't think you should be to accept every .

The first is selling. The second is effectively refusing an offer of .
