Step 1) Rename the country to something more hip. Possibly USX.

Step 2) Have everyone sign a pledge to work twice as hard.

Step 3) Cut everything that has a budget.

Step 4) Profit?

Reddit is curiously silent on this matter. Their SJWs are usually all over shit like this.

Wouldn’t surprise me if their new deal with Google has some influence on which posts go down the drain, and which ones go to the front page.

That was probably his stance when YouTube ad revenue was his stream of income.

In 2024 they pay pennies, and his real income is from sponsorships like those d-brand skins and manscaping utilities. And their own merch, of course.

They’ve been pushing their own media platform (floatplane), so I’m willing to bet this was a bit of a game of chicken with YouTube. YouTube wouldn’t ban one of their biggest channels, and even if they did it’d turn into great publicity for floatplane.

While I don’t think they’d be able to get a lot of their subscribers over to floatplane completely, I do think they’d be able to pull over lots of random views by having their shorts on Facebook, Instagram and whoever else is trying to mimic tiktok these days.

Does your internets take a little break while these call?

I wonder if you can just call-forward to your ex… 🤔

Helen runs your wastewater through a heat exchanger before this step. I guess the actual heat is from the water treatment when the solids are being nommed on in a big bubbly pool of bacteria that give off heat. But outgoing water is warmer than incoming by itself, too.

There’s just not a whole lot of industry close enough to an urban center like Helsinki, but paper mills and burning sorted trash is usually the source for these networks.

I snapped this at my local library last week.

I hope to see some mid-range phones that fit in a normal hand. In the 4-5" range.

You know what they say about guys with big hands, right?

They have big gloves.

I went local with my music collection.

I’m not sure if it ticks all your boxes. But there are many options for subsonic servers and clients - you can probably give it a good test run on Mac/iPhone as well. I managed to migrate from spotify painlessly enough to pass the wife test.

I’m running navidrome as server and tempo on my phone. It’ll either stream from my self-hosted server, or play offline if I’ve downloaded that playlist.

I don’t think I’d want to use a platform the government is so intent on getting a backdoor access to.

That’s every platform. Telegram is just too big to push back as hard as it has.

I had Android running on my OG iPhone. Must’ve been around Android 2.1 or so.

It was not really usable. More of a curiosity.

Unless it’s the same one.

There’s an embedded video above the headline. It’s easy to dismiss as an ad. I did, too.

And 1m is only 12 crayons.

They’ve been delaying a vote on it because they haven’t had enough support to get it through.

Looks like they’ll prepare another round in October, which would be voted on in December. They’ll want this to pass under the radar, preferably behind closed doors.

Seems enough countries have changed their stance that it could pass this time, unless we keep putting pressure on our representatives.

Google also has an app called just Gallery which doesn’t pull this crap.

When I was little we’d play this game called auts.

The levels were basically just bitmaps with one colour signed as alpha.

I scanned a picture of my math teacher just so we could fly around it and blow it up. Good times.

Why would they name their robot after the second best autobot?

Everyone knows Ultra Magnus is the best one.

Telegram chats are encrypted. (in transport)

Only “secret chats” are fully e2ee, though.
