That’s how they pay for Android. Just because you don’t pay a royalty doesn’t mean the software is free. (Even if it is libre)

Say you don’t understand the fediverse without saying you don’t understand the fediverse.

By these standards:

  • The web is unsafe by default
  • Email is unsafe by default

In all three cases, your safety is determined by the home you choose, and who/what you choose to interact with.

Here's his quote:

The black is a better athlete to begin with, because he's been bred to be that way. Because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back. And they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. And he's bred to be the better athlete because this goes back all the way to the Civil War, when, during the slave trading, the big, the owner, the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have uh big black kid, see. That's where it all started!

Racist. Definitely racist.

It looks like federation issues. Lemmy.world is under semi-constant DDOS attacks, and between that and the mitigations that LW are putting in place, the entire instance is not reliable.

In general, I think communities (or groups of related communities) should maintain their own instances to protect from some of the issues prominent with user-focused instances.

No, it isn't an MVNO, but I do think it gets lower priority than their premium plans.

Remember that T-mobile gives a bottom line prices, while AT&T and Verizon add a bunch of junk fees. Be sure to check into that before you switch.

In SoCal it can get pretty bad, and I've been to Disneyland and other events (concerts/sports) where the phone simply doesn't work at all. I'm on a Verizon MVNO right now that seems to be fine, but the AT&T and T-Mobile based ones both have issues around here.

The court is limited to 9 by law. He’s need a majority in the house and eliminate the filibuster to change that.

Let’s remember that a bastard who married rich that had a good deal of influence on how our government works. He definitely was making sure that he had a future.

Attempt? That was the original intent. They still wanted aristocracy, they just wanted it to be wealth based instead of hereditary.
