    This amount actually seems low.

    If the survey is reflective of real world percentages. Women are close to half of all people. White men are 31% of the US population. Assuming some of them aren’t straight men or have disabilities, thats a pretty large possibilities of options that someone can fling hate at.

    To be clear, straight white men can also experience hate. I don’t want to discredit them. It just seems to me that most of the hate is directed at other identity groups, so I’m using it to make a point.









  • I see a lot of commenters really hate Apple, but to clarify, the manual isn’t what’s important here.

    According the article, the manuals indicate that the iPhone 16 is actually easier to repair. This is good news for consumers, independent repair shops, and the environment.

    You can use a 9-volt battery to remove adhesive and they’ve added more support for Face-ID when replacing the LIDAR sensor.

    We still have a long way to go for our right to repair but, the pressure that we put on companies and governments to make change is working. We should celebrate that.






  • Thanks. That’s something I hadn’t thought of.

    I’m sort of more moderate when it comes to paying Google to access YouTube. I’m happy to pay for products that I use. I want Google and creators to be rewarded for services rendered, but the prices are double what they should be.

    I’m one of the people who used the VPN to get Premium at an affordable rate even though I have Ublock and know about other options.

    My Premium account did get canceled. I was able to sign back up via another location, but if they push me out again, I would just revert to adblockers.

    I suspect other users who signed up with a VPN are like me. We are the few who know how to get around the ads but want to pay, if we can. Just a guess though.
