For completeness, Glicemic Index. In this case General Infantry though.
- Comment on Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out 1 week ago:
Both of the services have the option to delete all forwarded messages. This is simply the best first step in order to be able to review what accounts still work with the old addresses (via inbox rules) and slowly change them. I use addy.io for mail aliasing already, but that is not really related to gaining independence from those companies.

And that’s why I set up forwarding from Gmail and Outlook to my new Tuta account.
In a few months I should be free, happily paying for EU alternative were the default swipe gesture stands for delete instead of archive.
- Comment on Pushing users into paranoia about tracking and privacy is a brilliant way to reduce server load from users that are not producing value on a platform 1 week ago:
This is correct and there is a Black Mirror episode that explains it well, the second one of the first season, Fifteen Million Merits.
The final condition of the protagonist in that episode is the one of the Privacy-informing Youtubers and other creators, if they cannot make enough money with Patreon or other independent revenue streams.
And even in that case, the original platform is making the most value out of it.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 1 week ago:
Missing Half-life (the first one). That game was the first one to feature scripted scenes during player interaction and it was mind-blowing. Plus, it had the most sophisticated story ever seen in an FPS before.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 2 weeks ago:
Good one, although still sounding benign. Hormones and in general stuff related to flesh is when this shit hits MeatCanyon territory.

You suddenly made it clear in my mind that most talk about hormones and other “gym biochem” reeks of body horror.
- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for that link! I was almost gonna start one myself. Gonna try that one instead, at least for a while.
- Comment on The world was a nicer place before the advent of leaf blowers 3 weeks ago:
The world will be better when people will stop following the medieval trend of having a lawn. Water consumption, leaf blowers, habitat invasion would be finally gone.

Am I the only one that sees Adolfo “using” it and Musk “feeling” it?
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 3 weeks ago:
I bet they will still make it default.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know to what extent they’ll go, but yes, this and the Advanced Chat Privacy in WhatsApp are just user locking moves.
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 4 weeks ago:
Which is information in itself.
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 4 weeks ago:
My position is that there is no way to assert it really did.
The ban of his account were present in Italian news since March: lapresse.it/…/turchia-x-di-elon-musk-sospende-acc…
This is old news.
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 4 weeks ago:
I left a precedent in another top-level comment (a screenshot). Also, broke the laws is not my standard in these cases.
- Comment on I know this is going to sound like copium, but I love having to fiddle with settings to get original Oblivion running on my 2019 X1 Carbon. 4 weeks ago:
Now it is almost always unplayable, but the settings on don’t really make a difference
- Comment on Meditation is like drugs but better 4 weeks ago:
If there was any proof of that, the laws would be moving to prohibit in certain professions or situations
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 4 weeks ago:
The fact that Bluesky didn’t post about it doesn’t mean they did not challenge.
Also, a file on Google Drive is not a petition submitted. There is nowhere a letter signed or stamped as received.
You know you can pay a law firm for drafting a letter and then not send it, right?
There are too many conclusions you are coming to without knowing the actual facts.
I judge what happened for sure.
And for sure both of them complied, officially asked to or not, to obscuring a political prisoner’s account (and dozens of other activists as well, by the way).
Also, regarding X, this is old news, from the end of March.
Also, are you X? Like, the platform, its personification? Because if you are not, then I didn’t call you a nazi. You can go clean your snot from your neckbeard.
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 4 weeks ago:
I have discovered the Gemini protocol yesterday.
Hosting what they call a capsule would be easy and extremely lightweight and I could surf from an index using an app called Lagrange, available on F-Droid.
Can you explain how your system differs?
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 4 weeks ago:
I know they would comply just as well, as I stated in another comment, because they are a private platform, but actually in this case the presence on Bluesky of the Imamoglu account in perfect condition with 129K followers proves that something else must be the case here.
Also, X didn’t give a shit about complying in Brazil.
Nah, Nazi platform does nazi stuff, it’s that simple.
You can come down the mirror now.
- Comment on X.com blocks access to Ekrem Imamoglu, leader of Turkish opposition 4 weeks ago:
Italian here, Roman actually.
The Roman salute has not origin in ancient history.
It was formalized by Gabriele D’Annunzio, a sick fascist poet and writer, as a salute for his proto-fascist troops with which he occupied Fiume in modern-day Croatia, having been inspired this painting.
So yea, the roman salute is a fascist salute, invented by a fascist, for a fascist occurrence and to call it roman is a disservice to Rome and history in general.

- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 4 weeks ago:
Even if it comes on PC, it will come with the stupid Rockstar launcher.
I have now decided to stop playing games that require anything else than just pure Steam or GOG Galaxy.
This way I could pass to Linux and don’t have to install crappy bloatware on my machine.

- Comment on Recommendations for "girly" games? 5 weeks ago:
The Hike itself is short. Took me only a few minutes.
- Comment on Microsoft getting nervous about Europe's tech independence 5 weeks ago:
I assure you that is not true. Even in my “mild” domain of marketing analytics, vendors exist that are EU companies with EU storage also run by EU companies or they offer on-premise deployment. And serious companies with users that may signal personal details through behavioral data seek such solutions.
- Comment on Microsoft getting nervous about Europe's tech independence 5 weeks ago:
The Processor is not, but the Controller is still required to guarantee appropriate security for personal data. Appropriate means running a risk assessment and deciding accordingly.
The problem is when in the EU we take as security responsible for healthcare people who handled IAM for Jira tops.

Horribly enough, that is how the USA collapses in the CP2077 timeline:
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 month ago:
Running water would allow for 30% reduction in bacteria, according to some sources.
Also, in that time period soap was known in Spain, France and Italy, and I personally made it in the summer using either olive oil or pork fat.

That would be a warlock I guess.
