Yeah actually it was a Belarusian journalist, Roman Protasevich.

These people care more about their “principles” and lack of fundamental understanding of the realities of a first past the post system, than the very real reality of people like us losing our rights.

Everyone who thinks voting 3rd party or staying home is an option is rooted in privilege.

No, it’s because people like you don’t vote in primaries. I vote in every primary for better candidates meanwhile people like you scream how the candidates are awful while staying home during the primaries.

The candidates won’t get better until we grass roots organize and start actually making good candidates popular.

Also I guess losing the majority on SCOTUS and losing abortion rights was just a “hypothetical scenario” when people like you refused to vote for Hillary in 2016?

When will you people learn that, yes, elections have consequences.

Trying to pretend like they might not and Trump might somehow not be worse is being deliberately obtuse and sticking your head in the sand. Wake up and smell the reality.

Please tell me about your hypothetical future where you don’t vote for Biden. Please explain to me what your best case scenario and outcome look like in that situation? Please tell me, what are you working towards?

If you think you’re going to change anything by not voting or voting third party then I have a bridge I’d love to sell you and decades of American history I’d like you to read.

Please explain to me what action you’re going to take and how that’s going to lead to positive change?

Nope, they’d rather scream about “not voting for the lesser of two evils” full well knowing that if they don’t that the likelihood of Trump becoming president and having MUCH worse policies for the Palestinians becomes much greater.

But hey, why care about the realities of a situation when you can scream about principles or something?

Is there so much more he could have done without an act of Congress? We saw from Trump’s presidency that most executive orders do not hold up in court and Congress controls the power of the purse.

Remember how Russia forced Navalny’s plane to land in a different country so they could arrest him? Not that I agree with the action, but it might not be a bad idea for Europeans and Netanyahu. Just sayin’.

How does this work with local laws regarding 2 party recording? If you’re on a video call and this records the other party without their permission, that is AFAIU illegal in many states in the US. I’m sure in parts of Europe as well.

On the flip side, if the genders were changed in this situation and the guy only wanted the woman because of superficial reasons like she was attractive or popular, how many people would be saying “he got what he deserves”

This is definitely one of those double standard situations. While we shouldn’t be victim blaming, I think there’s something to be said for calling out people who are willing to throw away an existing relationship or form a new relationship just because an “influencer” came up to them and they thought they were rich. And I think that’s what the poster you are responding to was getting at.

Or we could stop putting the onus on consumers and demand manufacturers/producers actually do the right thing. Even Keurig said they’re still making the plastic pods. The actual answer is regulation.

We need to stop excusing the “it’s too expensive to be green” bullshit. If it’s too expensive not to poison the planet then it’s not economically feasible.

It’s like saying “it’s too expensive to not put poison in our food”, then you shouldn’t be making food.

Ah well the article is referring to installing apps not updates, that’s not even included in this. But maybe the apps install at the same time now too.

Is that true? Last time I checked multiple icons appeared on the home screen at the same time, but the downloading progress bar will only fill up on 1 app at a time.

Yeah I feel like they neglected to show how much more of a problem on iOS this is than Android.

On Android apps typically have their push notifications divided into different types and can almost always turn off the marketing notifications for an app while leaving the important ones on.

I dont see even half of these notifications on Android.

Lol these time savings are so ridiculously good they don’t seem real. That’s amazing. Proof how bad python and pip are.

I mean it is but it isn’t. I think Nilay wanted to get the Verge back at the top of the search engine results but also wanted to make a point about why he had to do it. It’s funny because it’s really 2 paragraphs about it and then the rest of it is a normal article about the best printer lol. And the fun Gemini thing thrown in.

Lol again, everyone in this community loves to call The Verge corporate shills but then has no problem upvoting and commenting on posts like these. Like if the Verge were truly biased by corporate interests, wouldn’t an article like this be the place most ripe for that bias to show through and be a problem?

I get that the community is not a hive mind and is made up of many different people, but on posts where people are criticizing the Verge because they don’t like the way they show the corporate viewpoint you’d be drowned out completely if you were to argue anything otherwise. The irony just kills me.

Nah fuck that, that’s not a deterrent and businesses will just see that as the cost of doing business. They should be forced to refund everyone for the entire game no questions asked. There was no disclaimer when purchasing this game that says “we may completely disable this game and render it useless, even single player, on short notice at any time.” What are you supposed to do, buy the game, then read the terms of service and maybe interpret it as them having the ability to do that and then return the game? Absolute BS.

I don’t think any reasonable consumer would purchase a game if they knew it could be made completely unplayable in the next 3 months. Which is exactly what happened here. It was still on sale in December and was shut down in March…

This puts undue hardship on the consumer to make sure they’re not getting ripped off and there’s not even a clear way to be able to do that. This is the exact situation regulations are for.

I mean, those are much higher than 1 atmosphere though.

I guess I’m confused on the definition of a “tonne” of CO2. Am I to believe that if that cube was completely full of CO2 that volume of CO2 would weigh 1000kg?

Nevermind, just looked it up. It’s actually a measure of volume, just 1000 cubic meters, which makes perfect sense.
