Also don't forget they're planning an IPO this year to massively accelerate the enshittification. Surely their investors wouldn't demand that this biometric data be monetized.

Update: it's a great game. I'm not even a huge hockey fan, but it sucked me right in.

Oh I see here that those were your ~~top tier~~ gas station tier graphics. Your eagerness to share knowledge that gets you excited is commendable and people like you are what makes Lemmy worth using. I hope you have a terrific day.

Idk if you made those technical diagrams yourself but I genuinely enjoyed them.

Tape to tape? Oh that's new to me... Thanks friend

When you see people on Lemmy casually joking about eating the rich, they're talking about you.

The term op-ed is literally short for "opposite the editorial page", and the idea is that it is an opportunity for opposing viewpoints to be brought into the discussion for consideration. The fact that the author is a moron does not besmirch the quality of the Guardian writ large.

Motherfucker how long do you think humans have been around for? Okay, sure, soap has been around for like 6k years, wow, such a long time. Modern humans have been fumbling around figuring shit out like an untrained ai model for the last 60k-160k years. Quick math shows us that for somewhere between 54k and 154k years of our history as a species, no soap. MILLENIA!

Drinking water: you're making a distinction between clean, as in unpolluted by chemicals and other substances, and cleaned drinking water, which has been processed by humans to make it fit to drink with a lower risk of causing illness. Clean water has obviously been around for eons, but cleaned water, as I believe OP was describing, is a much more modern concept.

Showers: "try skipping a shower for a day"? Motherfucking neckbeard no, shower every fucking day. Try it, people might find you somewhat less repulsive until you open your mouth.

Agreed. As with most things, the answer is neither black, nor white, but some shade of grey.

Didn't know about this previously, thanks for the info

Peter Navarro is 420 friendly? Had no idea but tracks.

I disagree. Most people are able to self-regulate in more instances than you give credit for. In instances where someone is unable to do so, I would agree that a full prohibition probably makes sense; such as with alcoholics who are unable to stop themselves, but this is not the case for most people.

Interruptions - fear not the notification, for you hold the power to calibrate your notifications to the level that suits you. I'm particularly aggressive about disabling notifications and especially notification categories that do not add value, and you can too.

Resisting - many humans have reported experiencing even more enjoyment engaging in activities they enjoy if they delay their engagement until meeting a predetermined goal. If you know that scrolling through your favorite app for 5 min will give you a dopamine hit, you can choose to delay using the app until after you've completed a chore, for example, and that may offer enough incentive to complete more tasks than you might otherwise be able to perform.
