Yeah I'm kinda with you. If you're becoming filthy rich off selling access to content others made then you're fair game. If you're just doing it for yourself / not profiting it's a very different ball game though

I mean, that seems like a really sceptical way to live. Often things get shilled because people are just happy with the service and think the business is doing things well. I am a kagi user and have brought it up to some others, including outside of lemmy, because I find it produces better search results than ddg etc. And it's a definite step up from google in privacy

Sort of, but honestly the vapes have created a new generation of smokers and they should have banned them much sooner (unless you have a prescription and actual plan to use them to quit smoking). They were much easier for new people to get into and we went from smoking dying out to a sizeable number of young smokers.

The tobacco companies have done very well out of vaping

Not always, but the ones that aren't about that are much smaller. E.g. I know a little community of christ church that is very simple and they rotate through the sermon and then have a friendly morning tea after. I'm not religious but it's the only church I've been to where I kinda enjoyed it and I think it does just bring community and no harm. That being said, it's a fringe denomination and isn't really growing, because it's not trying to force itself on others

They've chosen the green so there's a much lower difference in contrast between the white and green when compared to the white and blue

Also Apple has intentionally made the Android text bubble less readable, so it has a concrete impact

It's not happening as much at the moment. That tends to happen as people buy houses, have family and feel comfortable. All of that is happening less for the younger generations than those that came before them so they aren't going as conservative as they age

It's both. The way the first commenter used it was unambiguously "they're a fucking shit person". There has to be a qualifier for it to be positive.

Except worse because they mix inventory so it's easier for sellers to get away with scams

No I was referring to autopilot, just look at the name of it. It's I know it's not capable of self driving (and neither is the even more absurd name of "full self driving") but to your average person it intentionally sounds as if the car is driving itself instead of it being a driving assist.

That'd be the fsd stats, not autopilot
