OK. They aren’t products. Not really sure why you feel the need to announce this.

This article’s sources are trash. It refers to a survey that you can’t actually find and says a lot of generalities without bringing out companies, and seems to fail to support its own conclusions. I figure you googled titles without checking deeper. Goodbye.

There was a time not that long ago where that wasn’t true, and independent companies are still pretty easy to buy from. For a LONG time, tobacco companies were pushing “smokeless” devices which still involved tobacco leaf.

For the record, I’m clean from nicotine for something like a year now. I just hate all the pseudoscientific bullshit pushed by the tobacco industry about vaporizers because they threatened their status quo.

Fucking good. Don’t let them do what they did the US.

Everything the government does involving vapes is wrong. Regulating 50mg out of existence was stupid. Threatening a flavour ban for YEARS was insanely stupid. Running questionably scientific anti-vaping ads (disclaimer, that one might’ve been AB-specific, I don’t remember) was also stupid, if the goal was ever harm reduction.

And their argument was always that kids are drawn to the colourful packaging. OK, why not make it like cannabis packaging? And then they never even did that, proving that it was all a ruse in the first place. Personally I think it was to aid in big tobacco getting them back on smokes instead.

Pipewire or the pulseaduo Bluetooth codec add-on. The pipewire implementation seems to be mimicking the old pulseaudio plugin.

I live in Alberta and the amount of people that are basically American cosplayers is insane. They want to be Texan badly. And they have no beliefs, so if they think selling oil to America makes them look or sound strong they will support it.

This is straight up word salad. Care to propose a policy?

Watch this investigation go quiet as they figure out some massive company’s contamination caused this in the area.

GIMP and Krita are much more versatile than folks give them credit for. And of course there’s Inkscape for vector. I would suggest learning on these tools and if you find yourself limited then you can start considering other options.

It’s stupid to participate on either side of this discussion. If you think it’s not a “real” language you are applying a 100% arbitrary definition to it, and if you say it is a “real language” you are conceding that calling it “not real” even makes sense in some way (which it doesn’t).

Personally I like languages with real and strong data types but people are free to use whatever language they like most.

Nervous. Fascism is getting more popular, not less. We WILL see the same trend.

Weirdly, Pixels are actually the best Android phones for installing custom ROMs, at least out of the major manufacturers. So for me, there isn’t another choice, because I can finance a Pixel, and I can’t finance a Fairphone or something.

GrapheneOS is really the furthest away from Google you can get on an Android phone and it’s mainly developed for Pixel.

Yeah, Truth Social lol
