I'm in Thailand and knockoff Disney stuff (and Legos) are pretty normal. And it's nice. The kids buying them have to deal with seeing their ads plastered all over town, so it's nice there are versions they can buy. I just wish they were so shitty quality and the big companies markup wasn't so fucking insane. Lego sets pretty regularly hit $200-$300 here. There literally is no Nintendo Thailand, so game prices are pretty random based on import fees that retailers can negotiate (or sneak through).

The nice thing is no one gives a shit about piracy. No risks really.

This kid is 13 years old and wants to criticize Biden no matter what he says. And... He's the youth vote which Biden really doesn't have to worry about much. 1 they don't vote and 2 the ones that do vote Dem.

He showed up at a pro Palestinian protest to try and dox the students there. They asked him to leave. He ignored them and was then escorted out. People did not say nice things to him.

I'm not sure there was a lot to punish.

And don't forget he literally ran his campaign on "I think my opponent should be locked up but is escaping justice because rich politicians don't live by the same rules you and me do".

Netanyahu and his cohorts have explicitly said they believe they need to kill every last Palestinian. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/11/benjamin-netanyahu-amalek-israel-palestine-gaza-saul-samuel-old-testament/

Wait, are you seriously saying "I guess I'll just hold my nose and vote for Biden" isn't a catchy campaign slogan?

I mean, you could just use Firefox or safari, or anything not chromium really. Yeah Moz will take money from search revenue, but they've proven over and over google doesn't tell them what to do.

Heck, chrome exists because google tried to firce Moz to ship a shitty bookmarks implementation, and Mozilla said no years ago. It's literally just an example of a "I'm going to take my ball and go home" tantrum.

It's nuts to me that teens use iMessage and not something secure they can hide from their parents.

It's the classic tech argument

"I use this because I care about y" "but it's worse at y?" "Y isnt really that important to me"

I think Moz helped write and supports this. I even think it's (partially enabled in nightly?)

Not sure if these built in decoders are supported though. Seems a bit dangerous to expose native codecs directly from the web to be honest, since you'll end up with wildly varying support across browsers.

Lol. The privacy bits are what always make me doubt people who say they use iOS for privacy reasons. They'll scream that and then install every google service they can on the same phone.

Apple and Google have both done similar things. Osx will ask you to use safari if you install a different browser. Google shows "it's better in chrome!" on basically all of their properties if you're using non chromium based browsers. No one seems to really give a shit.
