Was excited for a second because I thought it was 100,000 centuries old and not 100,000 centuries-old coins :(

They’re what? Literally 1984

Well, there’s your problem

It is avoidable overall but it always requires an effort on my part which is the wrong way around imo.

Ultimately my stance on it is that it’s annoying but there’s only so much we can reasonably do about it. I don’t expect dB or the police to patrol train stations to make sure nobody is smoking. It’s largely avoidable and if people want to kill themselves then they’re free to do that. We have much bigger problems to focus on, like the one you mentioned: cars. (And maybe if more people used the train instead of cars there’d be more of an incentive make sure most of your customers aren’t being bothered by a minority)

Not everyone can buy a gun, to get the paperwork you need to meet a somewhat arbitrary age requirement and you have to be “mentally stable”. So we are discriminating against mentally handicapped people. It makes sense, I don’t even disagree with it, just saying that it’s the same logic as op’s.

Okay, maybe a better example: if you’re interested in becoming president you have to be at least 40. Sounds like age discrimination to me :P

I don’t smoke so I’m not super invested in this either. However, I travel a lot by train and besides the trains always being late what annoys me most are smokers. Smoking is already banned at all train stations and bus stops but the first thing some people do when exiting a train is lighting a cigarette. In the middle of a crowd. Imo the only way to stop them from doing that in crowds is by banning smoking completely & this law is a good way to do that, but it would have to be an EU-wide measure imo. Otherwise it’s too easy to just drive to a neighbouring country and buy a pack of cigarettes.

Calling it discrimination is quite a stretch. By that logic our gun laws are discrimination, too and why can’t I buy enriched uranium in stores? I’m being discriminated against!!! Muh pearls! Some laws exist to protect people from themselves and I would welcome a law like this in Germany. Cigarettes and vapes don’t do anything that you can’t do in other ways, without harming others. Except maybe get you more breaks at work :P

The company said that it is working on zero-knowledge architecture so the master password users use to unlock their Cloaked profile never hits the startup’s servers.!

Lol. That should be there on launch. Thanks but no thanks. I’m not trusting a company with all my passwords and other secrets. Especially when it’s based in the us where companies generally don’t give a shit about privacy.

• Star Trek Strange new worlds

• A quiet place (horror but not that bad, rated pg12)
• Ready player one
• Love and monsters
• pitch black (might be rated 16 or r)
• Cloverfield (horror but fairly tame, rated pg12)
• Looper(2012)

Not sure about the horror movie ratings, I think they’re rated 12 but I think they should be fine. Maybe watch them by yourself first and judge. Star Trek is a TV show but really amazing and peak sci-fi. The new movies are watchable, too. Doctor who is a great sci-fi show too but it’s a bit weird on where you should start watching, the first doctor’s (of nuwho, so 9, I believe) series are a bit tough to watch at times so I’d recommend skipping them at first and coming back to them later.

Yeah, for me it always helped to think about what I was actually doing with my phone and I quickly realized that I really have not mich use for the most expensive phones. A camera like I’d get on the new iPhone for example would be nice but that alone isn’t worth paying almost 1k more. And aside from camera I don’t think there’s much difference for the average user when you compare a high end and a low to mid-range phone.

Bringing a spare is a good point. Less of a hassle than a power bank (although still not ideal). Battery life is pretty much the only thing I care about aside from longevity. Fairphone has longevity covered, maybe the review I read just made the battery life seem mich worse than it actually is. I’ll have to look into it some more, thanks

I need a new phone soon, can’t really wait until the EU regulations force companies to build them with removable batteries. I need to look more into Fairphone, hope that’s decent. Last review I read made me concerned about battery life, I really don’t like charging my phone every day either. Or having to carry a power bank with me.

I don’t think there’s anything on the market that comes even close to the modularity aria had promised. Moto z had some mods but they dropped that very quickly unfortunately.

I just want to change my battery and get a phone for that no people had to die In some poor country.

Like seriously, what’s the percentage of people that run machine learning algorithms on their phone? 0.0000000001%?

Building and maintaining one isn’t really the concern I have with this one, nuclear reactors are incredibly safe these days. What are they going to do with the nuclear waste? That’s the real issue here. Governments can barely figure that out, how’s a megacorp going to do that in an ethical way? I already see them dumping it in a cave in some poor country in africa.

You’re working on the assumption that they collect that data anyways and if they do then I kind of agree. But in the EU for example it would be illegal for them to collect that data so I sincerely hope theyre not doing that. Well, actually I kind of hope they are doing that and someone finds out about it.

Assuming that no one is breaking any laws here I’d rather get generic ads than targeted since I’m perfectly capable of making my own purchase decisions and don’t want to be manipulated into buying some garbage I don’t need. But more importantly, I don’t want some random companies out there having a detailed profile of me, that’s super dystopian to me. What if that falls into the wrong hands? Oh wait, it would already be in the wrong hands.

Is it coated with anything? If it’s just bare metal then scrub it with steel wool and some water, any burns & stains should come off without much effort.

If it’s coated then I’d try to soak it in soapy water over night and then gently scrub. Keep in mind that anything you put on there you’re probably going to eat with your next few meals so before you use any aggressive chemicals just buy a new tray.

Coincidentally the Yogscast is currently collaborating with the longest johns to record doggy doggy hole with their community choir. I.e. anyone can record themselves singing the song and they stitch it together in the end to make the full song. Really cool project, they’ve already done this a couple of times and the results are great. https://youtu.be/RQ2HbYnlc3s?si=DQ3PJVfgJ34pwdFE
