Guessing this is why they changed the term "Apple ID" to "Apple Account"

It's just incentive for developed nations to produce more automated weapons of war.

I don't get it. I am trying to reverse push it with my palm but every time I move my hand back the door doesn't come with it.

Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, etc. Non-western countries who are also generally prosperous and are known for quality healthcare.

You're ok with me losing my rights then, and for that I sincerely resent you.

Religion has very flawed ideas regarding community, however. It always results in a hierarchical structure and works to exclude those who don't abide by its values.

It is possible to be a good, selfless person and be religious, but I don't think it's possible to have religion without enabling power-grabbing, insular practices too.

You're Mormon and you call yourself a socialist?

Socialism is the antithesis of religion.

Oh no, someone please think about the poor white millionaire's feelings.

Sadly the post-civil war amendments include a provision that allows prisoners to be used for unpaid labor.

From the text of the 13th amendment:

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Only argument is if the party has been "duly" convicted, which is a recurring issue we see with the US justice system.

Exactly. I remember early days of smartphones before a lot of the safety precautions we have today were implemented, where we saw tons of videos of batteries spontaneously combusting. They expand, there's a pop, and then a small burst of flame that will ignite anything it touches, like your pants, tables they're sitting on while charging, etc. You can get pretty badly burned if this happens while it's in your pocket.

It's just that the videos that have come out of these pagers shows an actual explosion, as if they had been packed with C4. Enough to instantly kill some people with them on their person and harm adjacent passerbys.

Seems more like globalism is to blame. They were from a Taiwanese company but manufactured in Hungary.

Guessing the source of the pagers didn't matter at all and Israel probably intercepted a shipment to plant bombs in them themselves. Lithium batteries can ignite, but they don't just explode like that. There were bombs put in those pagers, be it by Israel or whoever else, coordinated as a targeted operation.

Because Wikipedia doesn't serve ads or pay Google, so Google doesn't like to make them the top result for a lot of searches they should be.

When Samsung last updated One UI several months ago, myself and many other Samsung users (and Pixel users on Android 14 as well, judging by the replies) encountered a bug where swiping posts closed showed only a black background until fully closed, after which the content one would expect to see would appear.

Last night, One UI updated to 6.1 on my device, and when I used Sync this morning, I noticed that the black background bug is no longer happening.

!Unfortunately I now need to re-learn my navigation gestures because Samsung apparently thinks it's fine to force people to completely re-learn how they navigate their phone overnight...!<

Seen on a comment today, this user with an Arabic username, written right to left, is rendered in between the points value and label text in Sync, rather than to the left of the value as expected.

As one of the (probably few) FFXIV players who actually has access to an Xbox Series X, it is a bit disappointing that there is no way to participate in the beta.

Hope the people who have an Xbox and are interested in FFXIV but didn't pick it up yet for any other platform enjoy the beta. All 10 of them.

From the Fanfest keynote, the 6.55 update will come with a full 24-hour downtime while they work on replacing the JP server infrastructure.
