Trying to make sure no one has your data (except them).

I was just being silly, the headline sounded funny to me without context.

you can't see it, but having a ghost dance in front of you is evidence of a haunting

It didn't take me too long at all, maybe a week or so, granted I'm just using it for english. I've gotten a lot faster since then but about a week to get comfortable using it.

I can't go back to a regular phone keyboard anymore, it's just so much nicer to use, I would fat finger and have to correct so much on regular keyboards, but now it's almost never.

Hope you enjoy it!

Well I'm glad they all had fun dressing up and playing as leaders.

That sounds pretty silly, the real changes need to come from the ways we generate our electricity, not how individuals use it. I'm mostly just surprised activists managed to affect policy at all, though. But still that sounds more misguided than malicious.

helping developing countries by giving them predatory loans and putting them into more debt under the guise of fixing climate change is honestly just so on brand for the world right now.

It'd take something pretty wild to surprise me at this point.

It's a pretty neat game.

hurrah, now let's just hope they do like 100 times more of that, and maybe enact some actual meaningful climate policy and we'll be fine.

Absofruitly. Sounds like the perfect thing for your use case. Only downside is it's another thing to carry around, but if that's not an issue I vote yay.

Seems like the sort of thing governments should be incentivising.

Bethesda is a company so naturally they're going to want to try and profit off of mods. But outside of the compatibility hiccups this doesn't really sound that bad. It's a nice way for modders to get paid for their work, it's optional and it'll hopefully make modding more accessible in general. The bigger concerns (to me) would be how badly are Bethesda ripping off modders, and whether it would fracture any communities, for instance if it was too difficult to make an 'official' mod as well as a traditional one, leading to modders abandoning one or the other. So long as Bethesda handle it well it could be fine.

Who knows what their intentions are, but they're still spreading a good message. And to be fair there is a difference between a fairly lax work from home policy and wanting to work from home permanently. It could also just be a smaller company where they don't really have official policies for things that haven't come up yet.

I feel like you're just having imaginary arguments in your head with people who don't exist. This is a net win for everyone because it means less people suffering in extreme conditions and it also puts pressure on companies and people with money to slow climate change.

Maybe there's some weird people out there who want others to suffer but I doubt that's anywhere near representative of climate activists.

You don't own the thing you bought!

This is true, China certainly hasn't helped the situation, although from where they were I can understand them wanting to capitalise on it. I just don't like it when people blanket say that things made in China are bad. The reputation is obviously there for a reason, but it's almost just as often western companies that share the blame for general low quality, mass produced, disposable things.

Understandable, have a nice day.

I have no love for Apple, I'm just referring to the build quality.

China just makes what people ask it to. So many places moved all their production to China for cheap labour, and most companies trying to skimp on one thing are also going to skimp on others like materials and quality control. iPhones are also made in China and most people consider them to be high quality. The problem is more just capitalism than China specifically.
