“You think renting is your ally… I was born in it, bathed by it. I didn’t know estate ownership until I was a man!” - Nook

Its ironic that this proposal talks about how hierarchy is antithetical to anarchism, yet is being propped up by one.

The meme is claiming that 100 in elven years is the equivalent of 21 in human years.

So the ratio 21:100 becomes 15.33:73 (or something like that. Its 6am here so my maths could be off).

Using the same ratio, 100 human years would be ~476 elf years.

I use Ubuntu touch as a personal device, which has zero support for banking apps, meaning I have to have a backup Android device. My work phone is a pixel 6 running graphene OS, which manages to run all of my banking apps just fine. (Though admittedly I ‘got lucky’ in the sense that my banks are supported by graphene OS)

Graphene, or any other alternative to the big 2, aren’t perfect and don’t cover all banks, but graphene is by far the frontrunner for a viable alternative. If you haven’t toyed around with it and get the opportunity, id definitely recommend it.

I really hope we do see further Linux phone development, but without buy-in from the banks themselves, they will not be supported for the same reason Graphene isn’t. The only difference is Graphene allows sandboxing play integrity to navigate the “Google has to say it’s okay” nonsense. It’s a rock and a hard place problem; the banks won’t support without mass adoption, and mass adoption won’t happen due to lack of banking support.

I think sailfish OS has a similar integrity sandboxing concept, though I haven’t tried that personally, so can’t comment on how well it works.

I was thinking the same. I’ve travelled the world over with lighters in my pocket.

Only time it’s ever been a problem, was trying to bring a jet lighter with me, which is quite ironic now that I think about it.

The arc of the door opening should pull the pin, providing the wire doesnt just fall off as the handles pressed down ofc.

This is a shitposting group; I don’t think personal investment in the topic is a precursor to commenting here…

I’d recommend joining a new instance.

The problem is ultimately a consolidated user base. Even if the current admins are expelled, the root cause still exists.

Reducing the number of users on world reduces the impact of them throwing their weight about the fediverse. Nothing you can do to change the admins mentalities; and theyve routinely avoided letting their own userbase know let alone have input, so best option is to vote with your virtual feet, IMHO.

There’s a beefeater (UK pub/restaurant chain) in my town that recently made their car park pay and display. Their customers have resorted to parking on the grass verges and pavements leading up to the building, causing safety issues (blocking views of turning onto a 50 road, covering pavement and forcing pedestrians into the road; that sort of thing).

I’m sure if the local council started charging them for the damage caused to the green, or even the damage caused by accidents due to their customers choice of parking, the car parking fee would quickly disappear.

Tbh, I’m surprised it hasn’t already. Their car park is always empty now, so it’s not generating revenue, and they used to have double the amount of cars you see round there now… so my guess is people fucked off somewhere else, and this attempt at squeezing just resulted in a permanent loss of regular revenue

Ah that’s what I get for skim reading the meme I guess.

I know it as shrinkflation.

Battlestar wargalacticas - a new razor.

At the very least they’d like their tip back.

For a good ten minutes, I was trying to work out how someone would use such a small box to change out of. “does it fold out into some silly cardboard variation of a Victorian privacy screen…” etc… thoughts until I finally re-read it.

Damn skim reading got me assuming again.

That’s actually why the dad believes the baby is a late bloomer; It took him this long to get a concussion? He’s practically a toddler now!

Can’t tell if this is political commentary on the corn lobbyists and the power they wield in America, or if it’s a jab at Ohio for being nothing but corn fields.

I’d love an invite.
