Why are medical devices operating on the same band as consumer devices??

There was personal information included in the data. Did no one actually read the article?

Big emphasis on the ‘A’

Only idiots think Apple is privacy friendly lol.

Apple has everyone fooled.

Apple are privacy-focused insofar as they will privately sell your data, sneakily.

That shit ain’t right! It’s sad that those wannabe gyms exist and it puts off people who would likely otherwise have a good, albeit still tough time (with some conditioning).

Sounds like you’ve never trained. If you want to try kickboxing or Muay Thai you’re not going to be starting out sparring. You’ll be learning the basics. That is, of course unless you’re at some dodgy ass gym that pushes everyone to spar right out of the gate. In which case you should avoid and go to a proper gym. If you’re getting many hard hits to the head in training starting out you’re doing it wrong or your partner is an asshole. Just do it. I trained with other people in IT, I remember one guy was a C++ programmer. Stop over thinking it and go for it.

Ja that’s right, I knew it was a plant or something. Thanks!

Now you’ve outdone Google.

Alright, calm down. If they “outdid” Google, they would have their own SEO dreamland platform. All they did was work within the confines of Google’s algorithms, A/B testing until something works. When Google makes changes they repeat. Overall the Internet is in a reeeeally shitty state due to the marketization of search results. There have been some things I have searched for whereby there were pages of what was essentially cloned articles. Many times I’m unable to even find what I’m looking for. Recent example, there was that article posted about that AI service / software that aimed to poison images, I don’t remember the name. I tried searching for the actual software / website. I gave up and never found it through the utter bullshit “articles” all spouting the exact same thing and clearly taking advantage of the “freshness” and relevancy of the tool.

It is. Something something, using their likeness (in a commercial context).

Not sure if satire

All of those are outside activities, right? In my town we have flyers and stuff in a few different locations. At times I get annoyed I can’t find information about events online, and then I think no it’s actually a good thing.

That’s perfect. There was a thread not too long ago discussing how Amazon Prime removed am item from someone’s media library and gave them $5 as “compensation”. Imagine someone coming into your house and taking something they don’t sell anymore and leaving 5 bucks on your kitchen counter for your troubles. So many people in this world want their cake and eat it too, you can’t have it both ways. If it was agreed that buying a digital asset conferred some type of ownership, they might have an argument now. They made their bed, now they can piss off and do what they want with it, it’s theirs to do with as they please because we can never own a part of it.

Define stealing digital content.

Lowest common denominator. Easy content that’s bound to get clicks. When this happens, in my mind it begins to cast doubt on criticisms. It literally just becomes the orange man bad memes. Sometimes I feel like pointless division is the point. Quarrelling among ourselves while they sit in their hypocritical ivory towers.

while, not whole

One day they find a way to inject ads into the downloaded file, don’t worry.

What are people doing to get this message? I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in so long I can’t remember.

• Don’t use the official app, use something like NewPipe or the equivalent on iPhone, on desktop use Firefox with uBlock origin (go into settings and enable filters at your leisure)

• Get a VPN that has adblocking built in (I use Mullvad, I honestly don’t know how effective it is because I have other adblocking as well on top)

• if you want to get fancy with your home network, use AdGuard on a raspberry pi or docker or whatever works best for you

Just one? I’ll do you a few better…

• The Falcon 9 rocket put a hole in the ionosphere

• Falcon 9 makes use of kerosene, which puts black soot into the atmosphere (if they used solely liquid oxygen or liquid hydrogen the only thing left would be water vapour)

• Serious damage at a Texas base (caused craters and debris to scatter around remote cameras)

• An explosion on the launch pad during a test caused damage

• Boca Chica…

  • Massive amounts of dust, which contain toxic shit

  • Destroyed the launchpad (scattering large chunks of concrete into delicate marine and coastal sanctuaries nearby)

Edit: fixed up formatting

I tried looking into “carbon neutral” the other day and got lost in a sea of bullshit. I didn’t find a source that goes into the whole process in actual detail. I mean explaining things and giving practical examples of it all. I came out of it thinking, wow it’s all just complete nonsense. “We do what we can to reduce emissions, then pay someone else to ‘offset’ the remaining emissions somehow by mysterious companies”. Don’t ask any more questions, okay? It’s magic.
