Friggin hate how locked down the Quest is, you basically can’t do anything with it.

I mean AR was a major selling point of the Quest 3

Ok but that’s kinda shifting goalposts. My point was that the vast majority of Europe doesn’t artificially add fluoride into water, probably not without reason. Even then, just 3% of French people receive naturally fluoridated water, for Germany its < 1%, Italy also by the sound of the article probably <1%, Spain is 10%. It doesn’t give information about natural fluoridation levels in Croatia but it’s probably at the same levels and I can attest to the fact we don’t have a cavity epidemic.

Interestingly it also notes this in the article:

In the GDR (East Germany) in the late 1980s, about 3.4 million people (20%) were receiving water with added fluoride… A fluoride cessation study found that consistent with a previously observed population-wide phenomenon that the rate of cavities continued to drop after the fluoride concentration in water fell from the augmented 1.0 ppm to its natural level below 0.2 ppm. Water fluoridation was discontinued after the German reunification although still exists on some US military bases.

My point is that I think it doesn’t really matter whether you fluoridate water or not and that it’s fine to be skeptical of it when the benefits in today’s day and age are minor and there might be potential drawbacks.

Africa, the Middle East, and Russia

And, like, about 98% of the population of Europe…

I hate most of what Trump and his cronies do, but from what I’ve seen fluoridating water has meager benefits in today’s day and age with fluoridated toothpaste, whilst potentially having side-effects according to a few newer studies. Personally, it’s whatever in my opinion, I’d wait for more conclusive studies that prove whether it’s worth it or not, but I also don’t think it’s a big deal if it’s stopped.

It seems that Google just gave them back the permission, 2 days after they publicly complained about it and after 6 months of ignoring it. What scumbags.

That sounds nice but oof 4% turnout.

I higly doubt they generate a custom ad per viewer, it’s probably per show which can be re-used.

No, kutomjer.

Look at these cute bastards, how can you not love them.

Please cease existing.

Calling GrapheneOS a “basic thing” when 99% of people will never touch their OS is a bit of a stretch.

Possible, but I wouldn’t really see this as evidence of that in particular. Israel has been conducting subversive actions against Hamas and the Houthis for a long time and something like that pager attack was likely being planned far ahead.

Why did I not know this, I’ve been suffering for so long. Makes it 50 times better. If only the swipe worked better now.

I like the FUTO keyboard, but it’s just so annoying that it doesn’t support multi-lingual typing and the swipe just isn’t as good as Gboard.

Goverment officials are required to archive all communications, so it doesn’t defeat the purposes of E2EE because you can’t have full E2EE to start with. If it was propely implemented and didn’t get hacked it would be fine. Tho I guess implementation wise if it really sends all the data to a corporate instead of government cloud that’s a problem as well.

It looks pretty promising. Had to modify it a bit to fit my S21 with a case, but it fits like a glove. Just have to print the last few components.

Yeah but that’s an example of tyranny by the majority. Just because a majority of people want something doesn’t make it right. In theory I like the idea od banning the AFD, but I’m scared of the potential backlash it could cause and what the consequences could be. In the modern day when people are so segregated in their own bubbles, I feel like this could make them more extremist (“Look, I was right, they’re just trying to silence the truth")

Ok yeah the second part makes sense, but for the first part I was calculating it based on hand washing, dishwashers would be way less since you have to split the usage per person in the household, which holds for hand washing as well. Idk for other people but when I’m alone I use the dishwasher probably every 3-4th day and for handwashing I’d say 20L is realistic, double it maybe but still isn’t that much.

Late reply but: Ecosia lets you choose between Google or Bing, but I guess that isn’t really your point. The main thing is it anonymises your searches, so you do get some additional privacy. Additionally, the hope is that one day they build their own index. They just recently announced that they’re gonna start one with Qwant.

Late to reply but: from what I heard, Kagi is really good at search (at least when it comes to filters and the such, not sure about base results), but it’s paid so that’s a disadvantage (and also a plus since you don’t get ads nor is your data being sold off), and it’s US based. DuckDuckGo also uses Bing but I guess they have more sources than just them. In my experience it’s about the same, maybe a bit better on DDG, both have shebangs (! for DDG, # for Ecosia) which I find extremely useful.
