I’ll get downvoted to hell for it, but you failed to include a valid third choice: not voting for either if they don’t represent your values.

Just FYI, Deezer played ICE recruitment ads last year on their service (in the United States).

Attacks like that don’t just happen in a vacuum.

Right, they happen when entitled motor vehicle drivers feel disrespected. The cyclist may have even done something stupid beforehand that put everyone in that car in danger.

But it almost certainly doesn’t matter, because there is almost nothing that cyclist could have possibly done that would justify the violence in that video.

I think that’s why no one here seems to care.

In the UK women are legally equal.

Trans women in the UK are not even close to legally equal, and that’s just the first group that popped into my head. Imagine how many more women might not actually have equal rights.

I think there’s probably no such thing as womens problems or mens problems. Only human problems that bounce around and affect everyone.

To your point, yes absolutely these issues affect us all, because we’re all connected as humans. But you might want to reconsider how you phrase that. This has big “I don’t see color” energy.

Both men and women absolutely have unique and specific issues that need recognition if we are to meaningfully address them.

I understand what you are saying, but you don’t need a lived female experience to be a feminist.

I will declare you one. You are a feminist. Be proud.

There is both. When people are more afraid of embarrassment, they’ll ‘waste’ their lives, never doing what they really want to do.

When people are more afraid of wasting their lives [than of being embarrassed], they’ll actually live them, even though they may still feel embarrassment for being socially awkward, saying the ‘wrong’ thing, or whatever else their fears of embarrassment stem from.

As others have said, at this point you don’t have a whole lot of choice; you pretty much have to use what the school provides you.

BUT, what you can do is try to rally other students to your cause. You pay the university, which means that students in numbers have influence over how the the university operates. I think your best chance to enact change is to create a petition to get the university to change to a more privacy-friendly alternative, and put together a proposal on how google and microsoft are harmful, and why your proposed alternative is better.

But they have badges! 😆

Ohh, I get it!

I recently did a rpi media player project and tried volumio, picoreplayer, moode, and others. I ultimately settled on installing android from konstakang.com. It was so much easier to set up imo for my use case, which was a focus on local music playback and keeping the files sync’d via my LAN. It even supported my hat DAC and my remote control.

Didn’t GoPro start requiring online activation of their cameras a while back? Like customers couldn’t use it out of the box until they installed the smartphone app and activated it?

Edit: Looks like GoPro did try doing it by using dark patterns first and then getting more aggressive.

The way you talk to people on Lemmy is unacceptable. The name calling and aggression is not okay. Please do better.

Deezer was playing ICE recruitment ads last year. I think it’s important for people to know so they can make a more informed decision.

FYI Pandora was playing ICE recruitment ads on their service last year.
