For what it’s worth, that’s a scale, not a spectrum. A spectrum would be a set of many independent scales. Like a music player equalizer.

AFAIK it’s about paying for the lack of tracking, not ads per se. Untargeted ads in the free version are perfectly legal. It’s paywalling the privacy options that isn’t.

For all intents and purposes it seems to be a remake. It’s just stupidly named, so it makes the confusing stuff even more confusing.

EDIT: Apparently it’s far closer to a remake than a remaster after all.

I think their heart is in the right place but they didn’t think it through. The way I understand virtue signalling, it needs to include intentional deception.

This right here. For example I’m rolling my eyes at people replacing their Kindles posthaste now. If it still works, it’s a great piece of hardware and replacing it now for the sake of changing the brand only creates more waste. A Kindle one already owns is more green and anti-capitalistic than whatever replacement one might get. It’s borderline virtue signalling.

It’s too hard to change anything if one believes in laws, rules and the general idea of a fair justice. They don’t have this limitation.

One of the problems that annoyed me in the past is the complexity and ambiguity of deleting an email over IMAP. Depending on whether it’s the last label of the deleted email, deleting an email from a label’s directory either removes a label from this email, or actually deletes the email.

Considering labels are very non-standard, which caused trouble over IMAP since forever, I wouldn’t count on that part.

Can you summarize this in a vertical video? I stopped reading after the third word, I’m here for memes, not to read a damned book!

I think there is some dissonance between the name of the movement and its intent. In my experience the intent is exactly this, buying responsibly. The name is unnecessarily nationalistic (unionistic?) but it is what it is. I’ll take it over dropping the whole movement.

2021 was barely yesterday, so it’s new. Now get off my lawn!

We want other options to be allowed to exist. This is “you just want everyone to be gay/trans/whatever” all over again.

Coming soon: “Fuck you for your service.”

Infinite number of universes doesn’t imply anything about their contents and their variance. Think about it like this: there is infinite number of even numbers (0, 2, 4…), but that doesn’t make “3” one of these infinite numbers. Likewise, the absence of “3” doesn’t make this sequence any less infinite.

I’m fully aware I’m deep into the “fun at parties” territory.

Apart from that I’m fully with the ancestor comments. If it’s fun, harmless and insignificant, it’s real to me.

What the hell is vaguetweeting though?

Personally I see no benefit in having them in the same application.

There is always SMS for these.

Supporting nazism is quite illegal in many places. In Germany for sure.
