I mean, why wouldn’t sharing sexual pictures and videos outside of the given consent by the performer be sexual abuse? If you perform in a porn video for a porn company and sign all documents, it is clear that you know and agree that the video will be sold publicly. If you send a nude to someone in private, you totally are not agreeing to be posted on the internet. OnlyFans is kind of in between - if you post something there for your subscribers, the consent is that the subscribers see the content after paying for it.

Libreoffice was created as a fork of OpenOffice because the development of OO became stale due to Oracle. If you’re still on OpenOffice, try LibreOffice - it’s kind of the same, but better

I think that the way to think about this is “available space”. It totally makes sense that it is impossible for everyone working or living in Manhattan to own a car and commute there, because several million cars won’t physically fit in there. It’s the same with other cities - you just can’t fit tenthousand cars into a medieval city center. So it makes sense to prioritize other options like public transit, because they have a chance to work.

They are raging against diversity, but this is a great example why you want to have not only white males in your workforce

Yeah, bicycle journalism is a lot like car journalism. A brand new, perfectly tuned bicycle with top-end components will be a great ride. Just like a high-end Mercedes is a great car and a brand-new Ferrari will be quite the fun. But if I want to commute to work, those cars are totally overkill and a long time review of a Dacia Sandero would be more interesting. I wan’t to know how components are holding up, if I can buy replacements for those custom carbon parts in 8 years or what a crash would cost me

Those poor families :(

I really love this form factor and would like to have a modern version of this with modern hardware

I really doubt that somebody will margin call one of the most powerful men in the world who is in control of the president of the United States.

I’ve been gaming on my SteamDeck for quite a while and I will continue that. There’s no way that I’m paying that much money for a new gaming computer

But as regular people, gamers, Lemmy posters, why are we doing the same? How is it serving us? Are we all influencers in waiting, hoping to up our updoot count and build a following of… dozens?

Many people are rationalizing their purchase decisions. Not everybody can afford to buy (and play!) two games so if you have two highly anticipated games or consoles coming out in the same time, most people can only get one. And then they have to choose. Afterward, they don’t want to hear that the other game is better, that it’s also great and they are missing out on a lot of fun and that the one they didn’t get is totally awesome.

This totally looks like something that really is useful only if you race. If you are a recreational rider without any ambitions to ride, you can just check pressure before a ride and everything is fine.

And that also is not healthy

Isn’t it totally obvious what the comic is critiquing? There are too many people out there who vote for racist parties that want to eliminate people in their social circle and that are totally butthurt when they get called out for that and are bitter when those people don’t want to have anything to do with them afterwards. “It’s just politics”

The correct tools are those small plastic containers or a cheap grease gun. You can get the grease better into the bearing with them and don’t have the risk of smearing cotton fiber in there. They are of course more expensive than a q-tip, but you can get one for unter 5€. Seriously, if you do this even a couple times a year, buy one.

(This is also a great example why environmental regulation is so tricky: It totally makes sense to prevent one of the worst polluting product to be phased out or replaced with a better solution. But then there are edge cases (how many people have even greased a bearing in their life?) where the new product might be worse, but that still is not an argument for mass pollution on our beaches or against that regulation)

Come on, let’s not doubt that eating car tires is unhealthy.

Why would you grease a bearing with a q-tip? Use a proper tool for that!

for example

A big problem here is that Google & Apple are not trustworthy. Google f.e. is blocking accounts without any chance for the user to get them back or to reclaim them. If you need an app to open your door and Google is blocking you, you’re fucked.

You’re right - it’s great to be able to crosspost, but every fediverse software is totally allowed their own features and if other systems don’t display it correctly, that’s also ok.

But in this case, Mastodon really is missing some kind of “group” feature. We kind of have this with the a.gup.pe - Tool, but it would be nice to bring some order into that chaos.

So, what would be the best way to “block the internet” on an Android phone while still being somehow able to use it for communication with the family & friends, navigation and stuff like that?
