Because they are manufacturing consent for closing the platform, calling installing apps from other stores “sideloading” and hiding the options behind “SUPERDUPERDANGEROUS” warnings, making you wait 24h for literally just installing software on your own phone. They know 99% of people won’t even bother. It’s obvious what they want to do, this is a step back because of the outrage, have no doubts that they’re gonna keep pushing it

When vegans promote a whole food, plant based diet: “I will only switch when there are drop-in meat and dairy replacements”

Ok then I guess we’ll develop drop-in meat replacements: “why emulate meat? So processed!”

It’s amazing if you’re into WFPB, it’s one of the healthier diets out there. You’re just not the target consumer of these meat replacements. But they’re useful for some people to have a better choice. They’re usually not unhealthier than the animal-based product they aim to replace (see meta analysis ).

Plus affecting children and the family

Yes but using it though Molly is more secure

You can also use google maps from the browser

Agree, but I get the live traffic part. It’s pretty much a must in some areas. I think there was a wrapper/API but google killed it

Proprietary

Just get a refurbished/second hand one, many are as good as new

If I had to change phones now, I’d get a second-hand/refurbished Pixel and wait until the motorola devices take on. Fairphone is nice but lacks in security. The high price is only because of the “fair” small-scale production, the specs are quite mid for the price. I say this as a fp owner, I’m happy but if I had to choose again I’d go about it differently.

Germans, all the time

I don’t disagree but this still happens in non slop open source projects

That’s what Molly is for, right?

Choviva is not very good imo. Good enough for some cookies or müsli though, products where the chocolate content is small and not high quality. And I’m someone who is generally charitable with alternatives a la mock meat, cheeses, etc. It tastes like toasty fat.

I appreciate the effort and I will check it out. However imo the original works (ie Marx, Engels, Lenin) are too dense for a begginer, I feel there has to be a softer learning curve, with more digested content. For example I’m reading the Vietnamese textbook and I think it does a very good job at explaining excerpts of the originals in accessible language. Denser doesn’t mean more accurate or better in all cases, just generally harder to read.
