“I’m a14yo edgelord” vibes.

Hopefully you’re not working for NASA.

Just wait until they have to deal with places that don’t use full hours to adjust the time.

Another one of those needlessly expensive “because we could” projects.

The gradient is so 16-bit quality.

As you sort of noted with your “discoverability” issue, you’d just be building your own echo chamber - one which “AI” will probably soon be able to manipulate.

He’s dead?

(/s - just to CMA)

Can we just go to that place they’ll never find & act like we come from out of this world, & leave the real one far behind?

Doubtful. If all the shit that’s happened so far hasn’t been enough, that sure ain’t gonna do it.

Besides, he’ll probably be dead by then anyway.

Disagree. If the document was completely logical & self-supporting, then there’d be no need to cherry pick as anything said would be consistent with the whole. You could highlight certain aspects, but that’s not cherry-picking.

That was a sarcastic rhetorical question - no response required because the answer was (or should have been) obvious.

Now we know why some overuse the “/s” marker - there’s always one…

That’s not the problem. The problem is the abundance of assholes using selected parts of the Bible to manipulate others while conveniently ignoring other parts of the Bible that contradict them. They choose what parts they want to hear, and then act like they’re unassailable edicts that came straight from God.

I love coming across a fellow browncoat!

Can they get refunds from her of their book purchases, too? Asking for a friend…

Thank you for the explanation - that probably is a more succinct summary than what I’ve found after some searching. I actually was just coming back to say I thought I found the answer, but I’m not sure since it’s looking like a lengthy read and I’m just too tired for that now. There’s also a user profile I found, but it’s not showing any activity. Plenty of “PirateSoftware” post mention results, though.

True, but we both know what should be frequently isn’t. In my defense, I’d never try to give my cats something that wasn’t labeled specifically for them, anyway - although I’ll acknowledge that’s still no guarantee.

Amazon app store actually was just killed for non-Amazon devices a couple months ago.

I wasn’t speaking about awareness of the existence of tracking. I meant how to safely disable it.

My current vehicle is just about 20 years old, so I’ve never had one connected to the net before. I’m dreading the day this thing finally dies, and I have to find one that doesn’t do that, or figure out how to kill the connection without affecting functionality.

Being relatively new to the Fediverse, is that a reference I’m not getting?

I swear there’s just some pathetic troll who wastes their life down-voting virtually everything. WTF could possibly justify hating on this?
