Not sure if it’d be the best response, but I’m pretty sure that Trans people (of either gender) face more discrimination than women do. So changing one’s gender would lead to more discrimination in all cases.

No they couldn’t. They’d die before they finished.

They get a lot of workers from places like Indonesia

I think the issue is that most people live in cities, where populations tend to me more diverse. Then most polls probably also end up disproportionately asking cityfolk. So the polls ask people who live in areas with disproportionate numbers of immigrants (relative to non-urban parts of the country), and they forget how many non-immigrants are outside the cities.

Fun, sure, but not an experiment that would actually be meaningful.

The data from your phone’s microphone doesn’t magically appear in Google’s advertising servers. It would have to go through a lot of steps before it gets there, and one of the first steps is in your home (if you’re on WiFi). One can analyze the traffic/data that leaves their phone.

It’s good to be cautious, but worrying about your phone’s microphone is potentially like worrying about your windows while leaving your front door open.

Yet again, someone mistakes an anecdote for evidence. And evidence is also not the plural form of anecdote.

I’m sure we have people here who are tech-savvy enough to have actually examined the kinds of data that their phone is sharing.

If you have something like Google Home or Amazon Alexa, then yeah, those would be sending voice data back, and yeah, they could probably use it for advertising. But as far as I know, there is no evidence that phones are “always listening” and “always sending information back” when they’re idle.

I could see some accents not pronouncing the L. It may colour the vowel, but not be a distinct sound on its own.

I’m Canadian, and we use a mix of British and American spellings, mostly depending on how we feel at the time of writing.

This is how I use it. So one could mold mould if they were so inclined.

Holy crap that’s a lot.

If the Analogue Pocket has enough buttons for OP, that’s what I’d recommend.

Other than that, I’m really only familiar with the Retroid brand.

I imagine you’d be familiar with the other brands…do you have any specific brand recommendations to look out for?

Yes, I agree completely. I was just explaining that it’s not ACAB because literally all cops are out there getting away with extrajudicial beatings. It’s ACAB because they don’t throw out the bad apples (aka. don’t report bad cops)

I feel like that’s missing the point of ACAB.

The problem with cops is that there are good cops who generally behave well and genuinely want to serve and protect their communities. The reason they’re still bastards is because of the unions that they keep (and support). They have some bad apples, and not removing them from the bunch means the bunch gets spoiled.

… billionaires’ security are not cops

That would be funny if someone thought RAID 0 was a backup solution, ahaha

two 8 TB drives in RAID to back them up

Obligatory “RAID is not a backup”

If that one person dies, then there’s no one with a stake in enforcing the copyright.

9 years also seems really short. There are sequels that come out far more than 9 years after the original work.

So if you want the copyright of a work to expire, you need to arrange for the death of the sole copyright holder

A collection of humans could form a company for ease of managing and sharing the copyright.

Different meaning, though!

Mozilla FirefOS?

You could still make those words work together in that order, though.

All of the sudden stops came to an end after we passed granny on the highway!
