What do you mean, “illegal?” If the phone user consents to turning it on, that makes it legal.

I hate to defend Google, but I will absolutely defend single-party consent for recording. Don’t like it? Don’t fucking call me in the first place. It absolutely grinds my gears when shitty software (including from Google) plays an obnoxious warning message when I want to record a call, even though I have the right to do so without warning.

Why did she need money to pay for medical care to begin with? Shouldn’t China, of all countries, have socialized healthcare?

Of course intimidation is the point – psychological/political intimidation, not physical. Context matters. Don’t try to pretend that the other MPs were scared they were gonna charge at them with taiahas or something, because that’s bullshit and you know it.

Okay but in this thread we’re trying to express solidarity with the Maori; do you mind?!

😁

Based on the post title I was expecting to say “no,” but that’s because I was also expecting “heliobiology” to be about sentient plasma eddies or something, not woo-woo magnetic bullshit somehow affecting humans.

No, seriously, even life inside stars is less implausible than the nonsense you’re asking about: https://www.sciencealert.com/physicists-argue-that-life-based-on-cosmic-strings-may-be-possible-inside-stars

But this was supposed to be a thread about getting banned from fun places, though.

No one was harmed by the haka.

The vote was delayed.

Did he fucking stutter? If anything, it sounds like delaying the vote was an attempt to prevent harm.

Maybe some of the other members feel intimidated now.

That doesn’t count as “harm” either, you dishonest ass.

God, what horrible lyrics.

Why does it feel like all the worst people are working together to fuck over the world?

Lifetime is a hoax.

No, it’s fraud.

The difference is that one is a funny joke and the other is a criminal act that ought to land corporate executives in prison, if the US weren’t an oligarchy too corrupt to prosecute.

More like F-Droid cares about things like reproducible builds and other best practices, and sloppy upstream projects sometimes have a problem coping. But as I understand it that’s typically the upstream developers’ problem, not F-Droid’s.

I actually like that the F-Droid maintainers check over the apps and warn about anti-features/stop offering new versions if they enshittify.

The way I did it works in the default Lemmy web UI and in Voyager. I think you’re the one with a non-standard spoiler tag.

That’s a damn good question!

dudes rooms don’t always have seats.

wat.

That’s the really crazy thing: the entire bathroom issue was manufactured in the first place because the damn signs on the doors never had any legally-enforced meaning to begin with!

I do consider myself to be a fairly radical feminist (no we aren’t automatically trans exclusionary)

What’s the difference between regular feminism and radical (non-TERFy) feminism? I don’t know if I’m radical or not.

Hey @admiralpatrick, come say your catchphrase!

Anyway, the answer is: if they didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.

I’ve been in flight or flight mode for months now. Still haven’t decided which.
