Melt your bank card in acetone. Carefully remove the chip and copper antenna. Place in small mould, fill with resin. Bobby Fingers (YouTuber) did this for a one-eyed friend so he could pay with his eyeball… Consider an rfid blocking case.


Yes - but it is meant to be deliberately backwards as a check and a balance. The idea is that if every law was made and passed by the currently elected politicians only then there’d be a flood of kneejerk reactionary populist laws only. The idea is to have some people with an eye to the bigger picture…


I normally get about four years or so out of an iPhone, with heavy and extensive daily use - works out as less than 50 (US) cents a day. I used to pay more for a newspaper.
I only made the switch when BlackBerry OS10 “failed” and they quit making handsets. I still miss my Z30 though…

I browse… Twitter, 9gag, 4chan, BlueSky, Lemmy and Mastodon. I find a mixed bag of cunts and diamonds on all of them - and loads of people in between.
The world is not as black and white as you see it.
Perhaps you might try sorting the wheat from the chaff next time before you make definitive sweeping statements about various platforms.


Jesus Fucking Christ man… is this really how you see the world?


My almost five year old piece of under powered apple trash cost me less than 45 US cents a day, still has regular OS updates and works between eight to ten hours most days running my entire life. I might even splurge out and buy a new one if they ever release an overpowered non trash handset…


The UK has an ice hockey league - not sure how many natives are in the teams though. Hockey is massive in (parts of) India - but they tend to play the version without ice…


The single biggest issue must be that it was just funny / thought provoking content on YouTube - not a groundbreaking thesis being developed in real time.
However, some apparent shortcomings of the Tezla are probably worth following-up… by far more qualified individuals in a far more formal and peer reviewable environment.


And in the UK a “cloakroom” is very rarely a place specifically to hang your cloak…


A lot of this falls in to the bracket of what they call “Minced Oaths” in English.


YT on DuckDuckGo browser on iPhone? Never seen an advert and can play videos with the screen off. Easy peasy.


There’s at least one UK supermarket that lets you do this.


Shout out to all the abnormal people that don’t consider themselves abnormal.


The “g” stands for generation. So it’s the 5th iteration of the technology versus the 2nd iteration. Whilst there are many improvements (speed, capacity, security etc) there are some negatives. (I believe mainly to do with signal penetration - i.e. getting a signal in basements, stone wall houses, being behind objects etc.)
Where I’m currently staying I have: 2G, edge, 4G and 5G signals available.


I think this comment says more about you than it does about me/“us”.
If you are afraid of random internet users then best of luck with what else life has in store for you.


Original skinheads = good kids who generally got on really well with the Jamaican rudeboys. People were generally apolitical but were connected by class (working class) not divided by colour. Eventually created 2-tone music.
Nazi skinheads = Not remotely friends with rudeboys. Probably see them as sub-human. Haven’t created anything new musically (that I’m aware of).
Punk = type of music played by both lovely accepting people and terrible scum too.
Threads hate isn’t stupid. Consider for a moment the literally dozens of people online without FB or Insta accounts. That is a choice. It’s nice to have somewhere that doesn’t have those users, with that groomed content, pumped for profit. Meta exists to make money - the Zuckdroid wants a finger in the fediverse pie to maximise profit for the share holders; not because he’s gone all in and techno-philanthropy. Having said that, the dilution of quality and nuance his user base “could” bring is the real worry though.
On a tangent I went to buy a secateurs (small plant chopper) off eBay - they wanted proof I was over eighteen; via a credit card. My eBay account is 16 years old. What the actual fuck?
