Can pagers receive text messages? I thought they are closed ecosystems, basically?
Yeah that's completely dumb. Two megalomaniac corporate overlords fighting... Corporate abuse? Sure. No doubt.
Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.
Ok, so he endorsed the republican party and not its de-facto leader. Please explain how that makes a difference?
Malaysia:
You wake up early for outdoor stuff, like jogging or longer dog walks. I do that between 5.30 and about 7.30 (=sunrise).
Other activities throughout the day are indoors mostly, shops, malls, gyms etc. are all airconditioned.
Most homes that have a garden come with a roofed porch area with a ceiling fan, so that keeps sitting outdoors manageable except for maybe the most intense mid-day heat.
Houses here are also solid brick & concrete constructions, and retain cold air better than the wooden constructs you see in the US and Canada, so you can actually keep homes at bearable temperatures without racking up electricity bills.
Quark is a uniquely German thing that I'm having trouble replicating ever since I moved abroad.
It's extremely thick, much more solid than yoghurt, and completely unsweetened. Mixing a box of unflavored cream cheese with a shot of milk and a pinch of salt is what I've been using instead, which gets close enough.
It's Instagram with no content or algorithm. To me it's an empty page, because I have no idea how to subscribe to things that I would like.

Horses ain't cheap, those things break all the time. Friend of my sister got herself one, and pays more in vet bills than my sister on her mortgage.
Never liked kids, never liked the idea of having kids. I have a miniscule noise tolerance, and being around them for just a few hours completely exhausts my social batteries.
After meeting my nieces I need a full day to recover, so I wouldn't expose myself to the same thing at home on a near constant basis, plus I love the freedom to be as spontaneous as I want to be.
Got sterilized in my 20s, now I'm in my 40s. Zero regrets, best decision of my life.
I'd make a point saying that there's a personal moral and a broader societal understanding of morality, and they don't always align.
Not if you're a company, since in order for it to remain free you need to disable certain telemetry files, and in some office there's bound to be a person fucking things up, and then you're on the hook big time.
So what exactly is your point?
I read the articles, saw his tweets, and think that endorsing a fascist politician from the US doesn't sit well for a privacy and freedom of speech endorsing platform.
Fuck off.
