Just install an OS that allows per-app microphone permissions. I’m running LineageOS and I can tell it for example to only allow Whatsapp mic access when I actively open the app. Actually according to the article, the same can be done on plain Android too.

Not to the US? Time for another tariff on India. That will surely fix everything.

The consumer carbon tax was the most minor of minor problems in the consumer economy but Poliviere paints it as the end of civilization as we know it. Now he’s shifted to industrial carbon tax (which mainstream economists all agree don’t hurt the consumer much if at all) and other taxes that he wants to “axe” again for being the end of civilization as we know it. None of which by the way he advocated against until recently. He’s so painfully obviously in the pocked of big oil.

Soon as corporations and “investors” provide their own wealth instead of extracting it from society.

Of course if Google was the Google of 10+ years ago and actually provides you with relevant, good search results instead of ad infested dribble that would help.

I err on the side of splitting because of what Scratch just said. If I give my colleague 2k lines to review it’ll get slapped with a LGTM and passed. If I send them 100 lines they’ll actually look at it.

Not to brag but I just merged this. Felt so good.

The solution is obvious: more oil from the tarsands. Just a bit more oil and we’ll all be rich, promise!

Excuse my French but about god damn time

Then again, voting liberal may make the status quo party feel they have that much more of a “mandate”.

Are there people besides brainwashed republicans who unironically think Reagan was a great president?

Well I wouldn’t be super shocked if there was a delay but I doubt they’d announce it on Nintendo Direct if there wasn’t at least a decent chance that the timeline was realistic.

But most importantly: Silksong was confirmed for this year!

Speaking your own language is an affront to American business. Better clean up your act Frenchie.

Yep and it’s much easier and cheaper just to send in a bunch of drones that end up killing a few hundred innocents than to send in special forces that find the target with precision. And that in turn would be a lot easier than to stop actively funding regional genocide and try to calm the situation down diplomatically.

It’s not like there hasn’t been (and there isn’t currently) reporting that’s critical of US foreign policy but this kind of foreign policy has been going on continually for our entire lifetimes (and before) There have been protests and complaints. But in the end the vast majority of us care more about our daily lives than some kid in Yemen being bombed, especially when it feels like we can’t do anything about it. So we move on.

Obviously it’s not right but as a society we’ve all decided we just don’t care enough to do anything about it.

Sounds one of Elon Musk’s gaming handles.

Isn’t she the one that immediately started using American tariffs as an excuse for pushing for more fossil and removing carbon caps etc?

He’s the finance director at UH and he can’t afford to send his kid to hospital? -_-
