That’s how you get surges of STDs among other awful things…

The healthiest thing is a decent sexual education to tackle all the topics rather than only this issue in these cases… but very welcome anyway

It feels like a privilege escalation exploit: at a certain point the authority chain jumped from a random picture provided who knows where/when to a link in the chain that should be reliable enough to blindly trust in this subject.

Whatever…

Good to know, my few experiences with folds (which I was quite fond of) where in the previous era of smartphones (so mechanical keyboard and no touch-screens) and the bending part evidenced always as a weak point in terms of wearing, in one occasion the failure point cause of the phone change. So, is there no evident wearing symptoms in the bending areas of these folding smartphones if treated with love?

I think that SIM physical presence in the terminal adds just a bit more of difficulty to the main abusers but a lot of pain to the non ones, the apparent bind to univuqous real identity is illusory and fragile, by now we should assume WhatsApp and Telegram as potentially anonymous and spam as a mail account…

Is it even being “adopted”?

I think there are 2 kinds: the fast ones that manage to use the rising wave and fuel the scheme and the late ones that end up with devaluated stocks… the later ones plus any contributing buyer got scammed for all the scalpers, the fast ones win as parasits of the colectivity and everyone else with a shity soul want to become one of those, ready to feed the next tulip fever… in countries which legal system is indirectly kidnaped by the 1% there will unlikely be any sort of consequences beyond that.

ICE is objectionable… did they got “confused”?

Mostly for random song discovery considering my previously liked songs, I regularly download/obtain those songs I like for offline reproduction and preservation… online stuff has short lifes

Currently, for free users, only PC or tablet allows to control what you listen (caveat occasional ads) but mobile constraints to a shuffle reproduction of albums, and if you dare to do a short album they spice it with additional related tracks, so you are never in control of what is likely to play…

EDIT: well, apparently I can do that also on my mobile app, I remember in the past some glitched occasions bit it seems is real now…

I still let spotify to discover me things from time to time… but regularly I download/obtain those that I like, I never abandoned my offline library, I am old enough to know that nothing online perdures…

Well, on PC or tablet you always could, but on mobile it was always album random shuffle… and if you created an album of less than N songs, in mobile they added related tracks in the reproduction (radio-spotify like) so it remained not possible to control what you listen…

EDIT: I updated the verb tenses to the fact that now you can in the mobile app chose the song to play

This! How is it possible that one of the most successful countries in getting European Research Council grants is Israel? How is elegible in the first place? Is European public money, it should only fund European research… this is still blowing my mind

Every step towards the next generation of colliders needs to be deeply justified about the falsifiables it will check and their interest to the current knowledge before being able to see a cent for it, and the expected energies of the TOE are well known to not be reachable with current means and technology, that’s not what they are promising ever, but what they do they fulfill, often, beyond predictions, to not mention the huge return basic research has always had in the long term to humanity… nope, I am afraid that I do not find it a good analogy at all. EDIT: but, yes, such strategy of making it bigger does not work anymore, so collider proposals go usually in other directions…

I am not meaning that an eufemististic neolingua substitution would improve the morality of those actions or alike, it does not change the intended purpose behind that phrase, execrable in any case.

My point goes in a different direction, highlighting their viciousness, their emotional engagement, rage and hate, not cold state machinery.

Imagine the phrase I quoted in the following context: there is an organised uprising of progrom attempts carried out by a racist centralised collective against a minority and the state wants to take actions to stop the possibility of such progrom. I cannot imagine their version being used but my example.

We must eliminate their appetite for another attempt

instead of “it is advisable to discourage future attempts” that could be a more professional strategic tone… their language sound to me more like a mob boss in a mafia film, I am probably biased, yes, but that’s the tone I would identify among fascists rather than among objective beings handling a problem, full of passionate words as if their strength would be based on that… anyway.

This thing called sovereignty…
