@user68k I think this will be the first GTK3 app that will have an actual options menu instead of a tucked away hamburger menu with options. I think it’s gonna be interesting.

@gencha No reason at all. It was probably wrongfully flagged by Google’s AI based on some stupid wrongful training data. At least that’s what I think though, because folks at Pushbullet (remember the app?) seem to be having similar problems about “not mentioning that they upload user data to their servers” even though they clearly mention this when the app is opened for the first time.

@Mechanize

@0x815 as the saying goes in my country: The bowed head - the sword won’t cut it.

@0x815 Madlads.

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted I don’t think CSD would be a big nuisance on a mobile phone or tablet, pretty much all apps nowadays have it.

@imblue

@imblue A bit late I think? Wasn’t Qt also available for Android since a while ago? I mean, there are some apps that I know of.

@0x815 as a fun fact (probably losely related to this but anyway), this is the modern version of what the (former) Kingdom of Hungary did in medieval times with the Szekely and the German speaking minorities in Transylvania (in today’s counties of Covasna and Harghita) - only that they also recruited these people into the army.

Fast forward to today, this is why we have a substantial minority of Hungarians in the geographical middle of the country.

@Midnitte Trump seems to be the leader that would have literally secured Molotov-Ribbentrop and told France & The UK to stay out or pay for their defense or whatever.

@tardigrada

@alyaza That will be a lot of useless personal data that their government already has, since everyone can be an influencer of some sort.

@tardigrada It sure was a successful campaign after all that goalpost moving that Putler did ever since the invasion began.

@rosethornRangerTTV I understand that some buses and other form of transport do not come on time, but on the other hand, one myst acknowledge that everything has a schedule and a time. You can’t force a train not to leave the station just because you didn’t show up on time (I mean, in my country many trains are leaving late anyways, but that’s not the point). You’ll just be delaying other people too.

I tend to be a late person as well, but whenever I have the possibility I either:
a. Put stuff in my calendar, with a notification prior to the event, so that I know when to get ready.
b. Run and/or rush. Literally. I know it isn’t a possibility for many, and it might be dangerous for me (I do my best not to hit into other people when I do and I can dodge really well), but if you hurry up you’ll never be late more than a few minutes, maximum 20. Happens to me every time. If you can’t run, try going at a faster pace.
c. If I see there is a high chance I am not getting there in time, I announce my lateness to the person I meet with so that they won’t be too upset.

I know getting on time can be hard sometimes, but it is a thing up to every single individual to sort out. You sometimes do not have the luxury of getting late somewhere and calling them ableist (even if they might be) might not help you out.

@alyaza Reminds me of Fidias

@Wiz I don’t know either 😁

I know about it because that’s where I get all my Linux customization stuff from

The crazy part is, this has all been doable basically since around 2 months after the boom in ~April of '21 (or maybe '22 the years have really muddled me)

I know, this possibility has got me worried ever since then. And these things will get harder and harder to spot as the technology moves forward.

I think even if it were banned it wouldn’t matter, since there’s probably a high chance it’s not even entirely done in the U.S.

Of course. The technology is out there in the wild, and everyone willing to use it for their purpose will do just that, whether for good or bad. Imo I think this is a highly complex issue with no easy solution.

This is pretty much useless on everything uploaded to Facebook, Instagram or other mainstream social media platforms.

I wonder how nobody was concerned about this possibility up until now…

Soon they won’t have to complain either

@theangriestbird he probably showed him the sanctions are in fact working.

@downpunxx

Donald Trump Jr. attacks Harris as “even more liberal (sic) and less competent” than Biden […] “Kamala Harris owns the entire leftwing policy record of Joe Biden. The only difference is that she is even more liberal and less competent than Joe, which is really saying something.”

The only thing that’s saying is that the old man now seems even more scared of any potential countercandidate.

If I was Dems rn, whether it would be Kamala or not, I would just leave the GOP boil for a little (only a little), bring a bit of uncertainty to the table, and then announce the candidate. Not too much, as it would make them seem weak, but just enough to let the GOP consume themselves. That would be quite a move.

Whatever the outcome will be, I am sure the campaign will become hotter. I think the Dems will bring someone with a more radical speech than Trump, and they better do - Trump has shown what he can do during his 2016 campaign.

And the age is not doing a service to Trump either.
