I’m making peace with just calling it karma.

Guess their thinking is that Google may not be a monopoly in 3 years, so the rules might not need to apply at that point, or they be reviewed?

At that point I think many would just get a decent powerbank. I’d prefer a larger capacity battery, 7000-10000mah even if the phone is slightly heavier and bigger. Especially for travel.

Spelling mistake in commented notes.

Why do I doubt this.

I personally fucking hate it. But my whole friends group use it for events (bad, birthdays), and messenger chat.

How do you convince ~30 people to switch to something else?

What app do they switch to?

Because they risk being bullied or left out. Denying their kid a phone only works if all the parents do it.

Edit: I don’t have a solution; maybe an anti-bullshit law that punishes people from spouting bullshit? (Good luck religious folks!)

But denying a phone may just replace one problem with another.

Is this also how they know which ads to feed you?

Yeah. Then I’ll fill up my free 15gb quota with garbage OS files, and be prompted to pay a subscription to backup the other 1-2tb of data.

I don’t know nothing

Yes you do, you’ve just used a double negative.

~$171.8 billion revenue last year.

Piece of cake.

While you’re on Blizzard tunes, Diablo 2’s Tristram and Wilderness always tickled my fancy in the same way StarCraft Terran themes did.

Quite a few, but more recently:

Neverwinter Nights. Even the Enhanced Edition.

Diablo.

Other older RPGs just start off too slow, but that isn’t necessarily age related, but by design.

Morrowind, but only because I’ve lost where I was up to in my saved game from 3-4 years ago, not so much because of the mechanics; they didn’t bother me too much.

Why we have to wait 24 hours for new word?

And the readers can do the proof reading for us.

The end of Disney has begun began a long time ago.

FTFY.

Aren’t papers peer reviewed? Or are they getting ChatGPT to do that too?

Submit harsher consequences for falsified information?

How does it know the information is medical or genetic, if it captures text messages?

How and where are they actually capturing that data exactly?
