To me The Netherlands is just weed, bikes, trains, and canals. Sounds great.

I’m also fairly sure it’s not going to be as great as it sounds. And the language will probably be annoying and not very useful elsewhere.

Whether or not someone has a passport is almost entirely based on the amount of wealth that person or their family has.

Where I grew up, almost nobody traveled abroad because nobody could afford it. Or at most, back in the day they would drive to Canada because you could cross without a passport.

Doesn’t sound like the suit was about the collection at all and just about the data transmission costing users mobile data usage.

Vague articles are vague.

decentralized + federated = defederated

Could it be any more clear? /s

In the US.

• Shirts/hoodies/etc: I like Bayside Apparel. Good price, good quality, long lasting, union made. Please buy from them so they continue to exist.
• Sneakers: New Balance has some assembled in the USA shoes. Very limited selection, but options in general are minimal. The only other Made in USA shoes I could find were like bare feet nonsense or moccasins.
• Boots: There’s a bunch of Made in USA boot makers. Redwing, Danner, and I’m sure I’m missing some good options. These will be easy to find with a Web search.
• Underwear/undershirts: I got nothin. If anyone has found anything, I’d love to know about it.
• Socks: Recently learned about Wide Open. Socks seem pretty high quality but I’ve only had them for a few months so far. I think there’s some other Made in USA sock makers as well that I’m not remembering.

I mostly look for Made in USA just because I’m happy to support my country’s workers, and the labor laws are known to me. I’ve run across some Made in EU stuff but it always seems like a hassle to get it shipped out.

Wish there was any real visibility into supply chains so we could feel more confident buying from other places. Can’t even trust companies that say they have ethical suppliers in SE Asia because they probably have no idea what their contractors are actually doing.

Current AI systems can perform sophisticated analysis, engage in complex reasoning, and execute multi-step plans.

No, not really

I like to imagine they were just side-eyeing each other the whole time.

Congrats on being the exception to the latter part of my comment.

I replaced the polonium with 1 cup of citrus juice. It was incredibly acidic and soggy. 3/5 because I still like cupcakes.

Listen here, you little shit.

Curious. I always thought she was more of a lolcow. Where that’s just how she is and everyone happens to think it’s funny.

Fairly different hivemind here, I think. Still annoying at times but for different reasons. Individuals seem more likely to engage on a topic though. Maybe without instantly thinking you’re their enemy.

Personally I’d feel fine in airplane mode. Just make sure wifi and Bluetooth is disabled as well. They’re not always deactivated in airplane mode.

And may as well disable location too, in case an app is logging it still. Would be a shame if Meta geofenced you and sold it to bad actors.

Guilty, your honor!

You at least have to keep it symetrical.

If only you could write cross-platform native apps otherwise.

I’m way more inclined to connect my devices if I can actually control them and not just have random seemingly pointless data about me harvested. But mostly we just don’t get that choice.

How big are your thumbs?

If the material has to be coated to keep it from breaking down too fast, what is the point?

Presumably you could only coat certain faces of the material (like ones touching food). Or maybe the coating could degrade in another more time-known fashion. So if the coating would be expected to last no more then 3 years then after the plastic could start to degrade.
