I dont think i have given them any credit. I would argue i simply didn't dispute them out of hand. Especially as you did without backing myself up with evidence of my own credentials.

I also thought i expressed that we should all be sceptical of anything we read on the internet. My issue was how you weighted your sceptisism. You seem to have automatically given all credibility to a reporter, under the assumption that they held no bias that affected the story they wrote.

For all you know, the random poster on the internet may be a legitimate scientist and expert who disagrees with them. Their opinion may be just as valid as the opinion in the report.

As a recent example, google released a quantum computer chip, and lemmy immediately ripped apart the reports and media buzz around what it was actually capable of. I believe that this is a great example of healthy sceptisism.

I believe that what you did is an example of unhealthy or misplaced sceptisism.

Granted, if it turned out that this random poster was absolutely unqualified to make the assertions that they did then absolutely you would be in the right.

I just dont think its helpful to dispute them out of hand with nothing to back you up.

Fair enough. Its not a great sign that this is likely to continue.

Thinking about it, i wonder how many vendors rely on big players like LG for parts.

You know, like in the phone market and car market for example. Vendors use parts and designs from other vendors all the time. Googles folding screen comes from samsung. In fact, samsung make parts for a ton of other manufacturers.

You read what they wrote and became sceptical of their credentials? I mean, it's healthy to be cautiously sceptical of anything you read/hear to an extent. But to immediately and without any further discussion, call them out in a patronising and condescending way is wild.

It makes me want to know if you have a background in biology. Since you so readily dispute someone else's. Someone who, at least on the surface, seems to know what they are talking about.

In fact, why do you give so much credit to the legitimacy of the article and its writer, there might be a "38 strong group" of nobel laureates and experts warning about this, but the writer of the article adds the spin. The writer decides how to portray the warnings and their urgency. They might be overselling this. And since there is little to no citation in the article, i am more inclined to question the articles' legitimacy before i query this poster....

I just read LG has stopped manufacturing blueray players. Meaning, soon, the dvds/bluerays at your local library will be defunct :(

The fact that so many social media sites have to restrict this sort of thing just goes to show what most people think about this situation. So satisfying to watch.

There are apps that can work this out for you

So either i say im going to sleep "now" and it tells me all the times that will align with light sleep and i can choose one to set an alarm for. (It even accounts for the average time it takes people to fall asleep)

Or i can say i want to be up at X time, and it tells me the best times to put my head on the pillow (phone off and eyes closed actually trying to sleep)

Sometimes it works out better for me to get slightly less or more sleep if it means waking during light sleep.

Yeah, I've read it all. whoever they are, one thing is for sure, they have issues.

No matter how many times we have both pointed at the problem, they have either ignored it and insulted us or they have lied about it.

They stopped with me the moment i pointed at their original post, showing how they have contradicted themsleves many times.

So fuck em. They are a tool. Actually, no! A tool is useful.

[-] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

We should stop engaging with this person. They are a moron. Glad I'm not alone in seeing through their bull.

  • I have not independently verified the gallon usage of my car.

That's you. In your original post.

You haven't tested this yourself.

You explocitly stated i your original post that the combustion engine is not affected by different weather conditions like an electric motor. But now you claim the weather being different is why you have not done the test yourself. But also its because of how far you would have to drive and not actually because of the weather.

You consistently contradict yourself.

So no. I am not telling you how you ran your own test

YOU FUCKING TOLD ME, YOU ABSOLUTE CREATURE!

[-] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

You haven't said what trim you have.... so no... of course, i dont..... wow.

You ha e quoted a combined mpg when we are discussing the fuel only mpg. so that is actually useless....

And once more.... you have not driven this car on pure fuel so you and i are in the exact same position.... you owning the car doesnt change that... at all.

Sheesh. Listen to yourself. Instead of kicking off about stats you dont have and insulting people how about you look at your attitude and your reported stats and consider drawing appropriate conclusions.

You cant use your own personal tests with electric and toyata testing with fuel and compare them in your conclusion. Those are two separate sources of data.

Stop ignoring this i have said it so many times.

It doesnt stop being true because you dont want to acknowledge it...

That's a soup spoon!

That escalated quickly!

As an outside observer, I was reading these posts calmly and under the impression it was a discussion between the both of you, then i read this comment, and the first line shocked me.

Where did all that rage come from?

Seriously, it was like maybe in the past an electic car slept with your wife.

All they said was they thought you might be biased, and you exploded. And what followed was you screaming at this person to take back what they said about you being biased whilst you insult and swear at them like they had walked into your house on christmas day and pissed on the kids.

Calm down, mate. It's just a car.

Please understandnim asking this question from a genuine place. I dont want the quora answer, i want the tech savvy, security expert minds of my fellow lemmings. If thats ok?

What happens to this data? What can/do they do with it? and why are so many people concerned about google tracking them?

Do i as an average user need to be concerned?

If so, What sorts of things can i do to avoid being tracked? Preferably without too much comprimise.

u/spez says that 90% of 3rd party apps will fall under the free model because they wont make enough API calls to come under the paid model. So how many times would we need to clone, and rename, the good 3rd party apps and split the users up between them to make reddit free again?

I think its still free if your app is making less than 100 queries per minute.

u/spez says that 90% of 3rd party app will be unaffected by the change... i thought... yeah... if there are like 5 3rd party apps that 99% or users use then the other 45 apps out there will have like 10 downloads each.. so what a misleading and dumb thing to say.

I guess you would need to limit how many people can be using each clone of the app but as elaborate as this is it would be funny to see that knobhead react to it if we did it.
