- Comment on Chemicals in vapes could be highly toxic when heated, research finds 2 days ago:
It’s absolutely not as dangerous as smoking.
Also, nicotine alone has heart positive effects.
- Comment on Chemicals in vapes could be highly toxic when heated, research finds 2 days ago:
This really isn’t a product study. They’re just guessing how chemicals will break down under heat.
- Comment on Chemicals in vapes could be highly toxic when heated, research finds 2 days ago:
Vaping isn’t smoking.
- Comment on Chemicals in vapes could be highly toxic when heated, research finds 2 days ago:
Yeah, this study was basically just guessing how various chemicals break down under heat. The fact that they reference the EVALI bullshit tells me the study can be safely ignored.
- Comment on The Verge shows how Google search is useless 5 days ago:
My DDG searches have been absolute garbage for the past few months. About 75% of the time I have to re-search my keywords on Google to actually get a relevant result.
It’s bad enough that I’m about to switch back to Google.
- Comment on The “Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state” petition just got a response. 1 week ago:
That’s pretty much always been the case. The difference now is that the licenses aren’t transferable.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
This is what I use. . They have a good preset, and there’s also the option to install 3rd party apps and do UI tweaks.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
It’s not really a hunt. Just Google “windows 11 debloat tool” and it’s in the top 3 results.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
That’s absolutely untrue. The debloat tools have a GUI and presets where it’s basically a single click to run them.
I seriously tried gaming on Linux with like 5 different distros, and it was a struggle to get things running not completely awfully.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
It really isn’t that bad if you run a debloat script.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
I really don’t have any issues with it, but I debloated it as soon as I got it.
- Comment on What's this thing called? 1 week ago:
It’s a 2.54mm JST-XH
- Comment on kids are gowing up faster and faster 1 week ago:
Kindergarten is often counted as school.
- Comment on epidemiology 1 week ago:
I often wonder how different the world would be if Hitler had used his power for good.
- Comment on Physics 1 week ago:
Maybe they meant prism, since a cylinder is technically one.
- Comment on Doing nothing is a mandatory biological function. 1 week ago:
Tons of animals sleep for like 20 hours a day.
My dream is to be a house cat.
- Comment on Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. 2 weeks ago:
Is that bitch wearing a mask to hide their identity?
- Comment on Net neutrality is about to make a comeback 2 weeks ago:
What’s sickening is that it’s not a staggering amount of money. Around the SOPA bullshit someone made a list of telecom campaign contributions per congressman, and most were < $10k.
- Comment on I think the original name was "dysaesthesia aethiopica." 3 weeks ago:
Huh?
- Comment on I think the original name was "dysaesthesia aethiopica." 3 weeks ago:
It can work out if you have the right boss. That’s how I went from customer service agent to senior server engineer of a global company in 5 years.
- Comment on EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy 3 weeks ago:
What right is being infringed upon? Facebook is saying your options to use a private service are to pay for it, or receive targeted advertising.
You’re free to just not use any meta products like I do.
- Comment on EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy 3 weeks ago:
This is just about paying to not have ads, not about data collection.
- Comment on EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy 3 weeks ago:
That’s not what is happening here. Facebook is offering to let you pay for an ad free experience. It has nothing to do with shadow profiles.
- Comment on EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, to me it sounds like Facebook is making targeted advertising opt-in, which is a good thing.
- Comment on EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy 3 weeks ago:
You’re free to not use Facebook.
Also, your argument breaks down because there are plenty of free streaming platforms that use targeted advertising as payment for their services.
If anything, Facebook doing this is surprising because they’re making data collection opt-in.
- Comment on EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy 3 weeks ago:
Using Facebook is not something that’s necessary. You’re asking a company to give away services for free.
The whole reason it’s free is because you are the product, and it’s almost always been that way. If you value your privacy and don’t want to pay for Facebook, that’s a personal decision, and the government shouldn’t be involved.
- Comment on I love the sound of a person's voice when I can hear that they're smiling 3 weeks ago:
Call centers train you to smile while on the phone because of this.
- Comment on "Yeah, but what if we used AI?" 3 weeks ago:
HOAs typically end up fascist, though.
- Comment on NASA 3 weeks ago:
Well, depends on your reference point.
- Comment on China abducted its own citizens on EU territory, report finds 3 weeks ago:
Yes, the CCP is notorious for being super friendly when persuading people. They would never ever threaten a person’s entire family to get people to step in line.
Grabbing a person off the streets and throwing them into a van isn’t the only method of kidnapping.
