I mean, I know lemmy has an open source hardon and hates anything walled, but is this really such a bad thing? Google is getting rid of a bunch of shitty apps and risky apps. Nothing is stopping you from still sideloading them if you really need them.

I really fail to see the actual issue aside from "google bad"

Fair enough. I'm raising my kids in a similar fashion. I dislike the sexual repression in the west (from which I unconsciously still suffer). But I'm still worried about other boys :)

Until your daughter comes home with a boyfriend with a fucked up sense of what sex is and ruins her day/week/month/year/life.

I'm certainly not pro government tracking anything I do, let alone porn watching, but if I see how my own kids get exposed to it through friends. No matter how much I try to educate them, friends still show them absolute vile stuff...

What's the last time you met a gatherer doing it as a profession and not a hobby?

Hunters are a little bit more common, but still, full time food hunters are rare.

Prostitutes on the other hand.

So as a simple saying used in a daily life, I can kinda see why it's used :)

How often does that happen that you recognize this? I can't remember the last time I hit my head hard enough that it hurt, let alone hard enough to black out for a second.

Is this a common occurance for most people?

I wanted to vote for them, I did so last time, but they didn't appear on the ballot in my country this time. Couldn't vote for them...

Yes, I read it. Outside reputable company found no wrong doing. LTT released a statement. By mentioning the lawsuit, they also shut down speculation that they have a weak position.

OP of that post projects their own horrible experience onto LTT. They add nothing at all to the situation, they don't offer any new proof whatsoever. Fuck that tbh. I feel sorry for their personal experience, but this has nothing to do with whole Madison story.

When the Madison story came out, I unsubbed from LTT. Always believe the victim. But then more and more info came out that cast quite some doubt on the veracity of the whole story.

Now it sounds more like an employee that had an (maybe very much so for them) unpleasant experience at a company and lashed out. Turns out the work company wasn't as bad as she made it out to look. Shit happens.

You did see the report they released right? Outside consultant coming to the conclusion no egregious things happened? I'd give them the benefit of the doubt at this point tbh.

I'll never understand the people that have their photo archive linked to a chat app.

Where I live, line is the de facto standard. Soooo many people don't use any backup and just count on line to manage their pictures. Some dude went viral for losing 10years worth of family pictures when he went from iPhone to android. Line is a shit all that doesn't do any migration past 14days when changing os.

Just use Google photos and never think about it again? Or use self hosted stuff if you don't like the cloud. But for the love of God, don't count on the chat app...

Get a cheap new phone number? Your potential employer will find out your identity eventually when you start working there no? What's the issue with having to use ID to get a new line? You put a fake name on your resume?

There's things like taking privacy too far you know :)

Been using it for close to 10 years. Never had a single serious issue with it. Apps break now and then. A simple reboot of the server or the app fixes it every single time.

A lot of public torrents download and seed at insane speeds. Like "must be in the same building or even the same disk" speeds.

There not doing a very good job of locking people in tbh. Basically all software runs fine on windows.

Its an absolute non issue to run non MS apps on windows.
