This data isn’t really worth much without any info on variation.

But really, the societal obsession with penis size is deeply unhealthy for everyone, but especially men. We should strive to value all bodies for their inherent beauty and stop comparing them. There isn’t any better or worse. Please stop reproducing those norms. Same goes for all other body related norms. They go hand in hand with sexism, racism, ableism, queerfobia and all kinds of discrimination and objectification.

What does this actually say if most billionaires like Musk or Bezos pay themselves only a symbolic income of about 1$ (if any)?

LimeWire, the popular peer-to-peer file sharing app from the early aughts that was resurrected by new owners in 2022 as an NFT marketplace, is back once again. But this time it’s just the platform’s retro branding that’s making a comeback as part of a new officially licensed apparel collection from lifestyle brand Dumbgood.

The current iteration of LimeWire has no affiliation with the original company (Lime Group LLC) that developed the popular file sharing app. The modern web3-focused version of LimeWire claimed an expired trademark and purchased the LimeWire.com domain from a former developer in 2021, according to Torrent Freak.

Doesn’t sound like it really exists as such but rather like it is used to flesh out the name.

It works, but since the beginning of the year there haven’t been any updates to the xmanager version anymore and various functionalities have been lost. Really annoying when shuffle is on by default for example :(

(Edit: maybe more correct to say that since about half a year the xmanager team is only releasing experimental versions since Spotify made some major changes to their software.)

Impressive data collection!

However, it is really hard to compare the wear of my own clothes with these findings because of the fundamentally different approach to clothing.

Underwear shirts typically last between 20 and 25 times. That means an active shirt with about 28 wears is likely to be nearing the end of its lifecycle

What? I wear my shirts for years and I don’t have that many of them either. Sure, they get holes at some point but that isn’t a reason for me not to wear them. My point is, the wear expectancy is substantially different if one throws out clothes after 20 wears or if one keeps using them until they fall apart.

Not sure if OP is the author, but these R graphs are really bland. Looks like ggplot2, so why not use a package like ggthemes? Or at least remove the atrocious grey background (personal opinion)?

Nice visualization!

And just because it made me think of one of my all-time favorite songs:

Well, isn’t that how it’s also done on the reddit sub by the same name for years?

Also, sometimes it say “won” or lost" behind the candidates, sometimes there is an asterisk, but for many entries, there is no information who won and who lost?

I’ve been using two different (refurbished) Pixel phones with CalyxOS for over 3 years now. It is a really great experience :) And the photos the phones can take are great, too!

Fair point, I guess this would be a good reason to plot it like this. Maybe the author of the graph should have labeled it accordingly to avoid confusion though…

The Y axis is throwing me off a bit. If the X axis already shows the amount of protein per mass, why would you also couple the Y axis to the amount of protein? So all the products low on the X axis automatically increase along the Y axis. For example, the vegetables are probably that costly in this graph because they have a low protein content, not because they are necessarily that expensive.

Haha thanks

OK, so Turkey is fascist and Portugal has a needle as its most used emoji?? And what does the polish beaver stand for?

I get your point. But isn’t it in the interest of large tech companies that their users stay as unknowing and uninformed as possible? They don’t want you to know how to actually tinker with their systems, how to change stuff yourself or have any control over technology at all. The more docile people are, the better they can sell their products (both the actual product to the people and the people’s data to their consumers). And so there are those people who are not OK with being on a dumbed-down system because they want to know how it works and have control over it, so they go over to Linux.

This is not too different from modern cars that no one can really repair on their own. Consumers are totally dependent on the company producing the car. And planned obsolescence can be implemented even better in a system that is out of the control of the user.

Another point is that huge tech companies often have the most comfort and ease in their products. Yeah sure, they have the means to make it so. But this automatically makes leaving these platforms/products so much more uncomfortable. Consumers are already so uninformed but dependent on tech that they would obviously stir towards the more comfortable situation.

Using tools (be it digital or manual) you can actually control sure is more work and has a certain learning curve. No one denies this. But from a political standpoint I think it is important for people to have control over the tools they use, over their own life. Let’s not allow capitalism to take away even more freedom and control from us as it already took.

All I found about that gitlab incidence sounded like it was one single event and more importantly that they’ve learned from it. So I don’t get the critique there. But yeah, apparently they’ve had a security hole a few days ago.

Wow, thanks! What an interesting read :O (But also really sad to watch the video on the templeos site)

Yes, same for me! Has been working great for some years now :) The customer service was also always helpful even when doing stupid things (like incorrectly saving the password in my pw manager and then having to reset the pw on the same day as opening up my account lol)

So glad you all agreed that you should use Linux instead :)

Thanks, apparently not installed anyways :)
