Hate and outrage has shown to be most engaging emotions. All recommendation algorithms will gravitate towards it.

Spoilers everywhere

Yeah, it’s the use case. Qualcomm had smartphones in the 80s, General Magic had the smartphone in the 90s, but it took more than another decade to actually combine phone and browser into the right form factor and fast enough mobile connection and a world wide web to make it work.

For AR there were moments too. Niantic with global positioning, 5G with fast mobile internet, but that was not enough.

Input method isn’t clear yet (Apple may have solved it with gaze-pinch), form factor not consumer market ready. Actual use case that is worth the price point? Nah

We need to talk about Kevin

I guess if we can’t deradicalize our own extremists, why do we expect we can deradicalize the immigrants that are islamic extremists.

Meanwhile these people say the same thing about immigrants.

Then there’s litterally noone to rely on anymore. Any seemingly actual Left doesn’t have power.

I don’t know… democrats always rolled over the past few years and used the increasing crisis as fundraising opportunity.

Don’t you get it? This one was one of the good ones. /s

Keeping these friendships going could combat their radicalization, but I’m not faulting you, I also cancelled friendships over this.

But then you can’t call the US a liberal democracy in any way as they aren’t hands-off at all. Time and time again they meddle in other countries’ business to exert influence and power and to advance their interests.

Israel itself was created by the West as Palestine was a British colony before and the US has since given more support to Israel than they would usually grant an ally. The continuous protection (political and militaristic) makes Israel almost a vassal state of the US. This is the real reason why “liberal democracies” have not reacted much (yet, hopefully).

They only logged the IP. That’s metadata. IIRC Apple refused backdooring its phone encryption. That’s a lot more invasive.

Lol, as all ratings there’s biases and simplifications…

This is our natural AC overheating slowly…

Dude, the other day I was reading some rag because there was nothing else to do in the train… One article was just Trump’s agenda without any commentary. How is that news if you don’t put it in perspective and with the context that Trump barely reached any of his goals in the first term. Unbelievable.

I see. So it’s probably because I don’t have Google Play Store in the first place. Maybe it can be configured somehow. No idea

Use Aurora store instead of Google Play? At least my apps never get popups like these.

The thing is: It’s 30%, but leave it to the US to call themselves a democracy and completely defy the understanding of other democratic countries.

It’s one thing to say that a country not spending even 2% of the GDP should not be able to call Article 5. It’s another thing to say you would “encourage [Russia] to do whatever they wanted to do” with said country.

Nevertheless it’s signaling unreliability, because it would violate the treaty the US has signed. Plenty of NATO countries have helped out the US when they called article 5 on bullshit arguments and lies when invading Afghanistan.

But you’re right. It’s good European countries rethink their dependence. Too bad it comes with rethinking their alliances as well, with a belligerent USA.

Trump’s inviting the invasion. Let’s not get things twisted. The US has plenty of ways to pressure other member states to contribute more spending to the alliance than threatening publicly to break the treaty and winking towards Russia.

The US demonstrates themselves as an unreliable partner. That’s not in the interest of the US as they lose power globally, when countries rethink their dependence on them.
