Ig that’s probably safe to assume. I do use a VPN and regularly clear the cache/storage, at least, and only run it in a separate profile

So… a centrist libertarian?

I see no reason not to continue using the free version without an account, as long as I don’t encourage anyone to sign up. Does it benefit them in any way?

Edit: just for fun-

Are you one of today’s lucky 10,000 in learning what /s means?

Disagreeing with your perspective is easy because it’s utterly misguided. Lemmy is a paragon of inclusivity, welcoming all opinions as long as they adhere to basic decency. The platform thrives on a diverse range of ideologies, from anti-capitalist to anarchist, fostering a rich tapestry of debate and discussion. If you find it unwelcoming, maybe it’s because you can’t handle being called out for having incorrect views. ^(/s)

Wow, I thought you were just ignorant, but it turns out you’re just a piece of shit

Edit: While the term “bipolar” has broader dictionary definitions beyond the clinical mental health diagnosis, using it casually to describe non-medical situations like the weather or jobs is insensitive and trivializing of the experiences of those living with bipolar disorder. The mental health connotation of the word is so strong that even if other definitions exist, the language can perpetuate stigma. The goal is not to restrict language use, but to encourage more thoughtful and considerate terminology, especially when it comes to mental health-related words

Please don’t use bipolar as an adjective to describe anything but a person with the diagnosis. (Edit: or junction transistors, magnets, coordinates, or cells lol)

And even then, consider that many people prefer person-first language to be more appropriate (I personally refer to myself as being bipolar, but to others as having bipolar disorder).

Israel is a friendly state

I also hate Apple lol

Oh damn, is Google moving toward not allowing apps to be installed from outside the Play Store?

Regardless, I see now how it’s a problem; if we let Apple do it, and then Google decides to too, we’re fucked, and it would then be unfair to not let Google do it since the precedent was set by allowing Apple to

Thanks for your input! Is that what’s happening here, though?

But hasn’t Apple always been this way? It’s not like people don’t know what they’re getting into when they choose Apple over Android. Is there something I’m missing?

I honestly don’t understand why anybody cares. If someone doesn’t want to use the closed Apple ecosystem, just don’t use Apple?

Seems to me that Apple’s most attractive aspect is the closed ecosystem, and I don’t see why they should be forced to change it in this way.

I use GrapheneOS btw- the only Apple device I ever owned was an iPod Touch.

Sometimes going inside is just as -if not more- stressful than work or wherever they spent their day. Going inside could mean dealing with family conflict, chores, etc, so that time in the car might be one of very few times they get to truly relax with no obligations/expectations

This is a misunderstanding of quantum mechanics.

The idea that the universe is “not locally real” suggests that particles don’t have definite properties until they are measured, with their states potentially correlated over distances through quantum entanglement. This doesn’t mean that only observed things exist; rather, it indicates that certain properties are simply indeterminate until measurement (or “observation”)

In quantum mechanics, “observation” refers to the interaction that causes a system’s wave function to collapse from multiple potential states into one actual state. This process affects the state of the system but does not imply that reality is created solely by observation, nor does it require a sentient observer
