What do the terms of use and privacy policies say? Who’s paying for the servers and what are they getting out of it? Also, since your data is federated, what happens when it hits a server with any different policies (or who may be in violation of the license of the software itself, but is getting no enforcement)?

If you are not paying for some service, you and your data are almost certainly the product. It was true then, it’s still true today.

Download the messaging app of your choice. Get friends to download it if they want to contact you. Use that app and too bad if no one else does shrug

I was wondering if it were tied to recent court decisions in Korea to allow someone to sue over wartime labour, but it looks like this has been going on a lot longer.

Not particularly, based on my experience. Now, if you want AS/400 people and such…

I am so happy not to have to mess with that. LOADHIGH agony.

Well, that’s something I’ll want to turn off, though all they’ll get from me is random appointment reminders and confirmation codes.

Thankfully, I don’t have this update yet. Not sure if because my region is Japan or if that’s not how they decided upon the staged rollout.

I oppose the death penalty in very nearly every circumstance. I think that prisons should be more about rehabilitation that just brutish punishment (but the punishment exists at least in part to avoid extra-judicial attacks by the victims who feel the perpatrator was not justly punished). Some people, of course, cannot be rehabilitated and, in that case, I would lean toward life in prison.

I’ve been living in Japan the better part of a decade and don’t have strong opinions on anime or the like (I couldn’t tell you what KyoAni has made)

The netuyo are probably whinging about it, but I stay away from those corners of the internet. Osaka Naomi and others have faced issues as well. Mostly, from what I remember, it’s been sports competitions where this comes up

I find google better than ddg the vast majority of the time… and google sucks

I actually got board, got a new HDD, and got linux mint on it. It doesn’t seem to have a bootloader installed and trying to install grub2 hasn’t changed anything. I’m also pretty disappointed in game support. Maybe I’m missing something, but Steam knows it’s on linux and a huge number of games in my library just say they run on windows or windows and mac.

I’ll check it out. Thanks!

its new policy interpretation will not include proactively removing content related to neo-Nazis and far-right extremism. But Substack will continue to remove any material that includes “credible threats of physical harm

Not even removing nazi publications

One of my goals after moving is to get another HDD and dual-boot as I transition away. I mostly have to figure out gaming and video editing stuff. I will also probably run WINE just for notepad++ because I can’t quit it with the textfx tools (so far as I know, the linux clone was abandoned, sadly).

Yeah, seconded. I saw a decent chunk of things in person like I saw on bash.org. People were silly and/or dumb long before friendster, myspace, facebook, etc. and did plenty of shitposting (and just general cringe-y teenage obnoxiousness) on IRC and the like.

I tried Chronometer but there are no japanese foods and they won’t add any to their DB so I basically gave up on it :/

I have a goole pixel watch I bought when my Garmin died. It’s fine for my needs.

IIRC, they paywalled a bunch of previously-free features

Schools in Japan only have whole milk (except in cases of students with allergies or the like) and are doing far better on obesity. Whilst I drink milk probably once every few months and could mostly not care if I never had it again, I don’t think milk is the right place to look.

In many ways yes. Japan has its own brand of racial superiority which is why I just found it a bit weird they’re going for nazi shit. It could also just be that they heard and liked a song, but I kinda doubt that this is the case.
