It's the same fake argument every time they try to take away your rights
  • That's a much better argument than what's presented in this meme. There's at least an argument to claim that the difference is about curtailing foreign interest through ownership. Ownership does heavily influence a platform. Unfortunately that hasn't prevented Murdock from owning more formal messaging platforms.

    On a side note, how do you feel about a handful of corporations controlling and censoring the Internet?

  • It's the same fake argument every time they try to take away your rights
  • How is this itself not a fake argument?

    The arguments in support of tick-tock are a bizarre amalgamation of just about every category of bad faith argument. I haven't seen one that suggests tick-tock it's actually a net benefit.

  • Concerned about microplastics? Research shows one of the biggest sources is car tyres
  • Yes that is how averages work. The point is more that looking at averages can avoid or diminish responsibility, and in that case likely isn't the right metric.

    If 80% of the problem is caused by 20% of the people, then average really isn't the best way to discuss the problem.

  • How did you lose weight?
  • There are many methods that are ultimately a combination of psychological tricks, and finding food and meal times that you work well with.

    The one thing they all have in common is calories in being less than calories out.

    One of the easiest and most effective ways to get started is simply establishing a baseline. Don't try to change anything, just count everything. And yes that means everything. After that, look for things you know don't make you feel good. Maybe limit or drop soda, cut a snack in half, limit dessert, reduce alcohol, etc.

    Radical diet changes aren't required, just consistent.

    When you start to run into problems with something that feels like self control (snacking, meal size, alcohol, sugar, etc), then look into ways to work through that. Often it's just learning new habits (never eat from the bag, seconds are ok but start small and wait, etc). Those habits really depend on the individual and where you're currently at though.

    Some people do great with keto, some with fasting 20 hours a day, some with only snacks instead of meals, or only meals and zero snacks. Just trying those at random without understanding where you're currently at first can lead to feeling failure and giving up unless you happen to get lucky with what you try first.

    And, always be kind to yourself.

  • It's pretty clear that it's Apps, not iPhone. But also... iPhone is responsible for holding application developers to their terms of service. It's absolutely appropriate to criticize them for failing to deliver what they're selling in terms of claims to a more private ecosystem.
