it always reminds me of creationism and i picture the commenter attracting the wrath of the gods

It’s not detected or mitigated, because it’s nothing bad. People can use whatever data formats or file formats they want. This is just another weird data format.

no, sometimes it’s a joke and the community/subreddit doesn’t exist.

vagueness in headlines gets worse every day. can’t wait for “something could”

civil unrest is perfect. they can just arrest the protesting civillians and put them to work in the for profit prisons, leaving only compliant civilians. win-win.

lol, they can track the IMEI. the phone component still works without the SIM, for example to make emergency calls. that means it is still able to connect to cell towers and you can still triangulate it’s position to some degree.

I’m afraid, you’ll have to cut the phone in half instead. can’t be helped.

That’s oversimplified, because it is possoble to make BPA- or BPS-free plastic.

this was never the creepy van. hippy vans often looked like that. (but maybe creepy refers to the guy here idk)

those cables are well managed

did 4chan leak trolls again? shoo. back under your bridge.

that depends on what you think is honest. maybe the ppl think repeating this discussion again is boring and they dislike it. don’t take it personally. you are not your content.

btw mastodon and bluesky don’t have downvotes. i think ppl who are here instead on those, decided this way is better. i for one left mastodon in favor of lemmy.

“only upvotes” don’t help as much, because you get a gap where ppl don’t like it. you can only use ppl who like it to sort, which may be much less than ppl who dislike it.

also, once downvoted from many ppl, fewer ppl see the content and it gets less downvotes.

actually downvotes give less “power to aasholes”, because otherwise ppl can post their evil shit like on xitter and they and the algorithm assume silence=agreement, even though agreeing takes only one tap while disagreeing requires writing a comment. this emboldens the “assholes”. they get little to no feedback ppl don’t like it. on top of it, there are ways/algos to sort by number of comments. so if ppl actually dislike it so much to write a comment, it pushes the bad post up on these rankings, shoving the horrible stuff in even more ppls faces.

don’t forget that downvotes mostly help with sorting. they don’t mean “this is wrong”. they mean the reader didn’t like it and it should be sorted further down or even start collapsed. it can just be a highly unpopular or disgusting truth ppl want to swipe under the rug. it can also be totally irrelevant or link/quote sites ppl don’t like and want to reduce traffic to or be forgotten (reddit, xitter, fb come to mind)

it’s just a quick feedback that can help the community.

ok

AFAIK multiple ppl died stowing away in the wheel compartment. So yeah, that’s not impossible.

Also, chartering or piloting your own small plane should bypass that, often.

they fly a lot internally, also. sadly, they’re not exactly known for good railway.
