CaptObvious,

So the UK, like many societies, is struggling post-pandemic to convince a new generation of parents that the state is best qualified to raise and educate their children.

CaptObvious,

Indeed. Wish I could give you a dozen upvotes.

CaptObvious,

This is a question for your national enforcement authority or for the EU enforcement authority. Ordinary people have never been able to make Facebook do anything.

CaptObvious,

I wouldn’t call Schrems “ordinary.”

Otherwise, if one has the means to file a lawsuit and see it through, a court might rule against Facebook. Normal people aren’t likely to have the resources to gamble on a favorable verdict.

CaptObvious,

Didn’t PrivacyGuides emerge from some kind of drama on Reddit? Could they have gone back there rather than staying here?

CaptObvious,

There must have been, of course, another side to the drama.

If you’re looking to start over somewhere off .ml, and who could blame you?, why not just create a new community on an instance that is definitely still maintained?

CaptObvious,

What’s the point of ghost subscribers? If they’re no more active than the mods or admins, they may as well not exist.

If you really want to migrate, just post that your community is moving and do it.

CaptObvious,

!privacyguides also has 2.22k monthly active users

Looks like you’ve found your new community. Jump in and start contributing.

CaptObvious,

I suspect that telling children they are addicted to something, especially when there’s no such “addiction,” is far more damaging than just letting them use their damn phones.

CaptObvious,

Let me get this right: Republicans are demanding government funding for sand while they try to block government funding to feed children? And don’t get me started on the state of US healthcare thanks to Mitch McConnell.

CaptObvious,

U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel … decided to sequester the jury for the rest of the proceeding as a precaution.

“I don’t do it lightly,” Brasel said. “But I want to ensure a fair trial.”

She didn’t decide immediately whether to detain the defendants, but she did order an FBI agent to confiscate the defendants’ phones.

And this is why no one willingly serves on a jury: Jurors get locked up while criminals get their phones taken away.

CaptObvious,

I fear that higher ed in the US is doomed.

CaptObvious,

So there isn’t actually a problem with GIMP.

CaptObvious,

They lost me at

Spies have lifetime contracts

Maybe

and many of them work for several agencies/countries

Not if they want to keep breathing.

CaptObvious, (edited )

Yep. Summary:

Signal bad. Us good. Full stop.

CaptObvious,

It isn’t all that difficult to install a dual-boot setup, so you can choose at startup which OS to use.

CaptObvious,

It’s blasphemy in some circles, but I never recommend Ubuntu. Mint seems much more straightforward and easier to make it feel like Windows for new users. There’s a Debian-based version if you prefer it.

I run Mint (Ubuntu version) on a couple of old laptops. But I use Debian on a Linode (Akamai) cloud server for a little hobby project. It’s a good distro.

CaptObvious,

I’d forgotten about the bootloader. I only dual booted with XP for a few months before wiping the drive and dedicating that machine to Mint.

CaptObvious,

Does anyone else think that nickname sounds like a breakfast cereal?

CaptObvious,

Late stage capitalism at its finest.

CaptObvious,

Nobody’s perfect.

I don’t know of any MMS problem, but I also don’t generally text outside of iMessages. Maps was a cockup, and Apple owned it.

CaptObvious, (edited )

I say yes
You say no
You say stop
And I say go, go, go….

CaptObvious,

Messages simply cannot be removed from their context and retain their meaning. According to Paul McCartney, as you say, this is simply a song about opposites.

CaptObvious,

Owned up to the mistake, then suggested alternatives while they were finishing Maps, which had been rushed due to the launch of Android and Jobs not wanting a competitor’s CEO sitting on Apple’s board.

I have no idea what you’re on about messaging. I can use it just fine.
