  • Google wants you to handle all your storage needs through Drive and Google Photos, where they are in control, can scrape more data, train models on your photos, and push you onto paid storage plans.

    I can’t really see the benefit to Google in having an excellent local file manager with wide archive-file support. It doesn’t profit them in any way that I can think of.

    Thankfully the workaround isn’t too bad, just installing an alternative file manager.









  • People need to remember the vote happened immediately after the EU migration crisis. Anti-EU sentiment was at a high all across the union.

    I don’t know why people act like being anti-EU was a UK thing, not a shared issue across several members. People should remember that before they shit on the UK too much.

    Shit, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Hungary, and perhaps others had a similar or higher level of anti-EU sentiment at the time compared to the UK. It’s just that David Cameron was the only one stupid enough to gamble on having a referendum.





  • To be clear, the headline refers to yank degrees:

    In outdoor tests in Arizona, the textile stayed […] 16 F (8.9 C) cooler than regular silk, a breathable fabric often used for dresses and shirts.

    They didn’t really compare it to many materials it seems.

    I also don’t know why they said 16+ degrees. That was the largest temperature delta they saw, not the least…

    Besides, this is only part of the tale:

    • Is it affordable?

    • Is it mass manufacturable?

    • Is it comfortable?

    • Is it durable?

    • Is it washable?

    • Is it crease prone?

    • Can it be easily mixed with other materials, e.g. to make it elasticated?

    • Is it recyclable?

    • Is it dyeable?

    • is it fine for sensitive skin?

    • etc

    Sounds cool (heh) though. I’m often too warm.







  • It’s not even worth explaining because it’s so obvious that they do. If you said that eating chicken raw is good for you I also wouldn’t bother explaining why that’s not true. I’d just call it out as nonsense.

    You insulted me first, dipshit. Quit advertising to the world how stupid you are. I don’t know what kind of brainrot you’re experiencing, but you should get it looked at.

    You’re honestly arguing that companies aren’t incentivised to do things like make profit? Or retain employees? You are brain-dead lmao
