I have the same version with the white spot on the chest :)

Are we bros ?

Also as DDG is based in the US it is most likely legally bound to give your informations to any agency with a nice gag order on top of it.

I can’t imagine any serious privacy oriented business to be headquartered in the US.

The whole better privacy is true with DDG but certainly not to the extent people would like to think.

That being said DDG has decent search results and is slightly better than Google for privacy. Google is an ecosystem so every little bit you don’t give them is a success.

It’s really too bad we don’t have good private search engines…

Fuck this.

There will be literally ads everywhere soon.

Ads in the street, on TV, on the radio, in magazines, on the internet, in games (including in VR)…

It’s a nightmare it will be completely impossible to go through one minute of your life without being sold something.

It’s not really something new but it saddens me because gaming was one of the few space that was mostly spared by advertisers. One of the last place you could get out of your reality for a little while.

Now this is over. Just like Netflix people will go up in arms against ads and then still get Free2Play games showing ads and normalize that practice.

The EU can’t even pay for fediverse servers?

Why not both ?

I’m sure a thin layer of gravel will soften the landing.

That but grabbing both legs.

Jumping very high beforehand is recommended.

Have you checked when the file was last modified.

If it fits the date you did the Spotify command then I wouldn’t worry much about it.

If you still are concerned you can send the file to virustotal to be safe.

If it’s more concerning for you for a functional reason then move the file elsewhere if nothing break you should be fine.

The Boeing planes are also very safe.

It’s the fault of the pilots for not understanding undocumented things and not having checked plug doors nuts before taking off !

In any case it definitely has nothing to do with corporate greed hindering safety. Definitely.

I understand that critic.

That being said, I really have never visited a country where race is mentioned as frequently as in the US.

In many European countries I have visited it just didn’t seem relevant.

Sometimes it’s not just a cliché or a prejudice against a nation, it’s just how it is.

I have no doubt at least that the peculiar history of the US has shaped the way racial discourse is prevalent or not in that society.

Would you agree that race is more commonly talked about in the US than in the rest of the world?

I think it’s pointless to ask on Lemmy for an accurate depiction of the importance of race in the american society. You may say it’s too reductive but I think it’s a more productive conversation than your comment. I would much rather have someone politely argue and explain that I’m wrong rather than calling my comment “almost pointless” and basically presenting it as some outlandish and prejudiced caricature of the US.

The “your comment is too reductive and therefore is pointless” could probably be applied to every posts in there. Just saying.

Basically, the US obsessing about race but refusing to face it’s history with blanket word bans that are frowned upon no matter the context.

The US is clearly not facing their slavery past and instead avoiding the difficult and deeply disturbing vocabulary associated with it.

IMHO there is nothing wrong with the N word used in an history lesson. On the contrary, I think it’s especially important to show younger generations how evil some our ancestors were.

And I say that as a french guy living in a city that was extremely important during the slave trade. We know what our ancestors did, we are not proud of it, we don’t feel responsible for it but we do make sure it’s not forgotten.

So that’s a yes.

That’s great but can you just answer this ?

Is it ok in your sense to kill civilians because they invaded your country ?

A really simple question.
