dude i am literally the furthest left it is possible to get.

“yes i made a homophobic joke” is still not the win you think it is.

“hah, checkmate, i also would have been sexist” isn’t the slam dunk defense you seem to think it is

what the fuck are you talking about? i am not even american, let alone a democrat? stop using the dumbest fucking justification for homophobia i have ever heard. stop the bigotry or fuck off back to reddit.

if it’s not homophobia, can you explain why “sucking dick” and “getting railed” are implied to be embarrassing or otherwise “bad” things for a guy to do?

with this much effortless casual homophobia i’m surprised you’re not a trump supporter

chrome can use their dominant market position to kill all other competing browsers, then they can use their monopoly to kill addons and extensions they don’t like, slow down or break webpages which go against their interests, and so on.

google having a near-complete monopoly on the web scares me more than most issues in tech

i believe all states are evil, to be honest!

some are just actively persuing evil stuff more than others

but given half a chance, capitalists in any country would turn to fascism

ah don’t worry about that, lots of it is online now :3

thank you for the explanation, it was really interesting and in-depth! you should be a teacher!

oh wow, i didn’t realize that, i thought it was infinitely reusable just by melting and re-forming it. thank you really much for the explanation.

what you wrote reminded me of silly putty, it’s really stretchy and elastic to start with, but if you play with it for a while, it starts to be less elastic and breaks apart.

does metal also break down? i’m thinking about like aluminium cans that are used for soda and stuff like that

permenent? can’t plastic get melted down and recycled again?

once i put some plastic container in the dishwasher and it got too hot, it kind of melted a bit. it didn’t totally melt but the lid doesn’t fit anymore.

i dunno if it was injection molded though

it’s been one for at least a year. redditors are the fucking worst

thanks, i wasn’t aware of the specifics :3

the sliding stuff generally wasn’t a problem unless you buried your phone in sand or something, that would probably make the slide a bit gritty, but it was fine otherwise

the keyboards back in the day were generally dustproof, yes, with only the gap between the keyboard and the rest of the phone being an issue. the keys weren’t like the keys on a laptop, generally, they were more like buttons under a solid plastic sheet, that’s how they kept it from gettng dirty!

you’re misinterpreting that list, it is not exhaustive - it’s a list of banking apps which someone has tried and updated the list. the lack of a specific country or bank on that list doesn’t mean it doesn’t work, it means nobody has tested it, or nobody has added it to the list, at least

The bank doesn’t need to manually support GrapheneOS, the app just needs to behave appropriately - which, as you can see from that list, the overwhelming majority of them do.

If my bank stops supporting it, then I will move banks. But I doubt it will ever really become an issue.

i’m a person with bills to pay, but if i paid those bills by endangering people, i’d be a bad person.

corporations exist to protect people from the financial and legal repercussions of their business activity.

they should not exist, and so, I will celebrate if Mozilla goes into bankruptcy.

we do not need them. control of firefox should be in the hands of a not-for-profit group, not a company.

FWIW, banking apps work fine on GrapheneOS.

GrapheneOS is pretty good, as a more private alternative to Android, though the downside is that it’s only available for Pixel phones. I bought a used one on ebay.
