An unnötigen Hürden in erster Linie, dass du es 3 Monate vorher anmelden musst und erst nach Ablauf eines Jahres wieder ändern kannst.

Dann der Quark, dass es im Verteidigungsfall nicht geht, weil die Wehrpflicht ja bekanntermaßen verfassungswidriges Verfassungsrecht darstellt und sexuell diskriminiert; und statt das halt zu reparieren setzt man lieber Grundrecht außer Kraft. Sicher eher ein theoretisches Problem, und ich habe den starken Verdacht, dass das das BVerG nicht überleben würde, aber halt trotzdem kacke.

Those were the first earbuds they offered, which were just OEM-ones where they main point of attention was on getting the workers a living wage (which is fair enough, they are called “fairphone”, not “repairablephone”), just like the Fairphone 1 where they apparently wanted to collect some experience in the space first.

I have them because I bought my fairphone 4 like one week before they had a free pair with every purchase on offer and wrote to their support, who graciously gave me a voucher as well. I don’t use them a lot, because I do have pretty good over-ear headphones, but they do come in handy on occasion, as they fit into my handbag, which means I am more likely to actually have them with me.

I hated that too at the time, but I have to admit, that in practice this has not really turned into an issue basically ever: My headphones and earbuds are bluetooth anyways and I did get a usb-c to headphone adapter that I store with my earphone’s backup audio cable for the very rare case that I need it (I can count on one hand the instances for when that happened). And in those very few cases I wasn’t about to charge my phone anyways, which is the one argument for why you might want both.

So, I don’t know, maybe it really is time to move on. I will defnitely say that I’m not a big fan of analog cables, so maybe a more general move to USB-C for audio might be the right way to go in the first place?

I’ve had issue with very worn out 3.5mm adapters before! Like: I was on an intercontinental flight earlier this week and my cable barely held in the worn out port of the plane. I agree that there are fewer issues with software refusing to work, but the hardware-connection can be quite sucky on them too.

The scientist in me is sooo tempted by the idea of setting up a website where people have to classify pictures of cis and well-passing trans people by AGAB to really drive the point home that no, those fuckers CANNOT tell. They can usually only tell when the person in question is in the progress of medical transition which is an instance of “no shit Sherlock, why do you think we want to get this done as quickly as possible”. And yes, Enbys are a bit of a different story, but even a lot of them pass very well as the opposite of their AGAB, even though they often don’t even identify as that.

The big issue with this is that the vast majority of people making those kinds of statements are incapable of thinking rationally and instead just continue being bigots.

Misandry is sadly extremely widespread and often not even recognized as a problem: Erin Pizzey who invented modern women’s shelters quickly found out that women were just as capable of being violent to their partners and logically tried to start men’s shelters as well.

What she had not expected was that instead with the support that she previously got with women’s shelters, the same did not happen with men’s shelters; instead she received insane amounts of hate, victim-blaming and death-threats from radical feminists. She had to repeatedly flee her countries because of material safety-concerns as a result of that.

In some way the peak I encountered of this kind of hate was some Fedi-site that had a rule banning misandry (good!), because it also harms trans people. Now the second part is very much true and as a trans girl I agree that it does and that that is bad, but that should not be the primary argument for why it is bad. That’s like saying anti-judaism is bad, because some Jews are white or saying misogyny is bad, because it also affects trans men or saying anti-black racism is bad, because it might affect white people with a strong tan: The statement is true and the secondary victim group fully preserves protection, but by making that statement you betray an incredibly bigoted mindset that doesn’t even respect the primary target-group enough to care about them at all.

There is a lot feminism that really just amounts to men-hating and that is why I do not use that label for myself. I believe in equivalent treatment and rights and so should everyone;

That’s not how it worked for me either of the two times. I don’t have any memories of going out the first time and I think I kinda woke up kinda normally both times.

The question is which idiot in the press (or anywhere else for that matter) decided that it was acceptable to measure the thickness of a phone in any other way than as the minimum distance between two parallel planes such that the phone fits between them?

You are so full of shit, it isn’t even funny:

Snowden could have been an official whistleblower and avoided prosecution

He literally tried to do that and was ignored.

leaked only to US papers and avoided prosecution

You mean like the American Branch of the Guardian and the Washington Post? Aka the Newspaper that he leaked to?

leaked only non-classified information and avoided prosecution

Leaking unclassified information about a classified program. How do you imagine that?

Snowden sold classified info to enemies of the US. He made his bed.

No, he literally did not.

How about you stop getting your info from Fox News?

Tesla hasn’t had any technology-leadership anywhere in a long time, they just have a Conman as CEO who was very successful in hyping the value of the company into completely unjustifiable places.

The only thing they are good at, is the Keynesian beauty contest.

Das eigentliche Problem bei der Diskussion ist, dass die meisten Menschen die Grundform als maskuline Form interpretieren. Die Ursache dafür ist wiederum, dass es keine echte maskuline Form gibt und die Wortgrundform daher als schlechte Notlösung herangezogen wird. Insofern: Ich bin kein Fan davon jetzt überall nicht-Grundformen zu verwenden (ob feminine Formen oder Partizipialkonstruktionen) und würde mir dafür lieber die Schaffung einer explizit männlichen Form im Deutschen wünschen. Dann würde man auch wunderbar sehen, dass die meisten Verwendungen gegenderder Formen eigentlich nur dazu dienen um eine als fehlend wahrgenommene Geschlechtsneutralität herzustellen und sie sonst meist unnötig sind.

Der Postillon hat da mal einen ganz unironisch guten Vorschlag gemacht.

Honestly: For all his many, many, many faults, he was still a massive improvement over Bush junior. His insurrection and the way he handled Covid was terrible, but the Iraq-war was worse and unforgivable.

but I am glad American taxpayers sacrifice their own money to keep Chinese imperialism from devouring my country.

You are from Taiwan by any Chance? I’m tempted to agree with you in that region, but I am not sold that the US is an overall net-positive if we also look into places like the middle-east and Latin America.

For context: Amazon has a market-capitalization of almost 1.4 Trillion USD and Apple one of over 3 Trillion USD.

AKA: This is a slap on the wrist that would have required two or three more zeroes to be actually painful.

Wenn es eine Paywall gibt, dann poste doch bitte auch den Text, so wie sich das auch auf r/de eingebürgert hatte. FAZ ist eh so ein konservatives Drecksblatte dem man eigentlich keine Klicks geben will.

Can someone please explain to me, why everyone cares so much about four rich fuckers that may die because they cheeped out on safety-meassures? There are people dying in Ukraine every day but somehow these four people now dominate the headlines.

Mal als Kontext: Hausdurchsuchungen können extrem traumatisierend sein, irgendwo habe ich sogar mal gelesen, dass das mit den Folgen einer Vergewaltigung vergleichbar sein kann. Jetzt sind Geschäftsräume keine Wohnung und entsprechend weniger geschützt, aber es klang auch teilweise in dem Beitrag durch, dass es nicht auf diese beschränkt blieb, was das ganze glasklar verfassungswidrig machen würde.

Es kommt mir leider auch so vor, als wäre die Protest-Bubble relativ klein und auf Reddit läuft vieles einfach weiter wie bisher. Allerdings bleibt abzuwarten wie das ab dem 1. Juli wird, wenn die meisten Drittanbieter-Apps ihre Dienste einstellen.

Ich denke ein wichtige Frage wird sein, wie gerade die kleinen spezialisierten Unters handeln: Weil die Gemeinschaften sehr viel kleiner sind, ist es da auch viel praktikabler geschlossen umzuziehen und auch wenn keines von denen besonders groß ist, sind sie zusammen halt riesig und haben vermutlich eine erheblich besser Nutzer-Beibehaltung als das generische Zeug.

r/cpp is zum Beispiel ein hervorragendes Unter für C++, in dem gefühlt das halbe Standardkomitee aktiv ist und die Hälfte der Mods stellt. Wenn die sich beim nächsten Standardisierungstreffen während des Mittagessens entscheiden auf Lemmy umzuziehen, dann könnte die Reddit variante sehr schnell untergehen, weil das Nutzer sind, die schlicht nicht ersetzt werden können.

r/crypto is etwas weniger extrem, aber auch hier handelt es sich um eine Gemeinschaft die ohne ihre sehr gute Moderation längst von den Kryptowährungen mit Spam überflutet worden wäre. (Pfostieren ist da mittlerweile nur noch für Nutzer auf einer Weißliste, aber trotzt des von Betrügern sehr begehrten Namens ist der Character des Unters erhalten geblieben.) In dem Moment in dem die Mods aufhören, wird das Unter sterben.

Beide Unters sind klein, aber im Gegensatz zu r/worldnews und dergleichen nicht trivial zu ersetzen, womit derartige Gemeinschaften mehr Nutzer hinterherziehen könnten, als das manche aktuell vermuten.

Man kann über prigoschin ja sagen was man will, aber manchmal hat man echt den Eindruck, dass er der einzige bei den Russen ist, der noch in der Realität statt einer Phantasiewelt lebt. Weswegen ich ihn tatsächlich als potentiel weniger schlimm als Puttler sehen kann.
