When I was in high school I was playing WoW when Wrath came out. I was doing a lot of PUGs so there wasn’t any coordinated voice chat so I HAD to type in order to communicate, so that’s when I really learned to touch-type.

Instead of a Roku Stick, you could use the Google TV Streamer or Apple TV 4K…..…..Amazon's Fire devices are also an option, but I figure anyone with moral qualms against Fox may have similar issues with anything tied to Jeff Bezos.

I got a kick out of the article recommending Google and Apple like they’re the ethical option against Amazon here. Any sane person with moral qualms against Bezos will have plenty about Google and Apple too, so let’s not pretend that any of them are anything less than evil.

I’m not switching at this time because I already bought a lifetime pass about 7 years ago. If ANY of my functionality gets changed by Plex then I’ll be switching

It will never be ethical to buy Subnautica 2 as long as Krafton is still involved.

Surely this would be nearly impossible for visually impaired people, which makes me question the ability for governments to implement this on their websites.

I know about screen reader software for visual impairment, but to expect a blind person use a separate device with a camera to take a “photo” of a QR code on another screen is beyond comprehension. Well, at least it would be in the normal timeline.

I guess I’ll have to switch to a dumb phone out of spite now.

Hey Daniel, thanks for making this and 4.0 has been a great update! I've been using this with owntracks since I saw it posted here a few months back and it's been great.

There is one thing that I was wondering about - do you have any plans to be able to smooth out wonky data that gets imported? In my case it's from google takeout. I recently imported my location data from my old google takout backup and location data is all over the place. For example, here is my 2017 trip from the US to Japan and back. I totally understand that this is a problem with the data though

My second reaction is: you absolute fucking idiot, what did you expect when you sold to a mega corpo??

Earlier today I was thinking about a conversation that I had a few weeks ago about Tesla. I mentioned that I would love to have one but I'd never consider buying one while Elon is still with the company. Their response was the normal "eh, I don't really think about that kind of stuff" and that was that. It was just a polite conversation so we didn't go into values or beliefs about it, but I'm certain that they were being truthful and didn't really have any deeper thoughts on it. Most people just simply don't care.

As for me, I believe voting with your wallet is the strongest thing that any one of us can do, at least while lobbying is still normalized within politics. The billionaires and mega-corps only care about money and they'll only change if something is affecting their bottom line.

Shame on tuta for the headline. Sure, they’re European companies, but according to the article everything except the Volla phone is made in China.

Per the article, the Volla phone starts manufacturing in Taiwan (which I 100% support) and then finishes in Germany so that’s the only one of these that I’d actually consider.
