Netflix used to be that and everyone bought the hell out of it. Then it enshittened and all the shows moved to proprietary platforms and now you need 19 subscriptions to get a selection of shows you care about. No thanks.

There are powerful lessons to be learned from the successes of Steam and Spotify if only the relevant people look and listen.

Your phone has to be informed somehow, from the internet, that it has data to present as a notification. The fact that you got a notification at 3:32 and then again at 3:35 is trackable data, pretty much no matter what anyone does with it, encrypted or not. Doubly so if someone has MITM attacked your data stream. They may not know what the notification contains or even what app it was sent to, but the act of transmitting and then receiving this data packet over cell network or internet is a trackable event. And I don't really know what Apple could even do about that beyond attempting to build Internet 2 solely for the purposes of keeping the cops out of it, which is unlikely at best.

And the next 20 below that do not.

If you aren't willing to look past the first four results to find what you want, internet shopping may not be for you.

I found it in my photo roll, actually, and uploaded it directly. Can you not see it?

My partner recently bought me a stuffed cat that has giant balls. It's hilarious, long story. Anyway I've named him Bophades.

In fact there's a bigger version of this meme extending through the other direction of the scale as well

Edit: Found it

Therefore it is up to consumers to make sure that being environmentally conscious is profitable.

I was going to buy Hondas anyway because they are cheap and reliable but if Honda as a company really does become carbon neutral that's an added bonus that I'm thrilled about. Even if Hondas become moderately priced and reliable instead of cheap and reliable as a result, they'll still be on my radar.

Okay so you admit in your own argument that they're doing it slower. Yes, I WILL vote for a 50-year plan to fascism over voting for a 2-year plan to fascism, every time, without question. Gives us more time to turn it around before sitting officials burn everything down. At this point in this country I frankly don't give much of a damn what the Democrat long term goals are anymore because the Republican party is such an immediate and obvious threat to safety, democracy, and human decency. Given such an environment it's obvious that a few decades (or less) from now we're going to be dealing with significant problems in the Democratic party, since it's so easy to choose to usher them into power right now - it's easy for bad actors to abuse that. And frankly there are already problems in the Democratic party. But I'd rather deal with that then, than deal with Republican ideals now, because instituting Republican ideals now will not leave us with a future where we even have the choice to deal with Democrat problems.
