You’re complaining about ads that are being pushed on you by an algorithm from ad companies. I’m telling you there are no ad companies. Seems relevant.

I never typed the word “ad”. I specifically said post of top brands. How can this be achieved in ActivityPub? Easy. When you are using lets say Threads, their proprietary system treats differently ads and normal posts. However, anything their system is pushing on the federated network (ActivityPub) is disguised as a normal post. A post that is having millions of engagement will be visible in “All”.

Nothing prevents them from doing that right now.

You act like you’re new to internet. What prevents them is that their audience is not here and companies are not paying them for that. However companies will pay them to promote their products in Threads. With the current numbers, Threads has the potential to dominate the “All” page.

that’s irrelevant. Nothing prevents the influencers to promote their products as they do in all the popular platforms. You’re thinking only in terms of ads as coming from an ad server but this is not necessarily the case.

yes, very misguided. I always loved the idea of browsing “All” and see all top brands with millions of engagement promoting their products

yes, you’re very correct on that. I failed to write it in a way that gives space for exclusions. I wanted to write something like “from the people who migrate in mostly atheistic (or at least less religious) countries, when they continue being fanatics in their religion, then this decision is by choice”. Because they are now in a place that if they want to get rid of that culture, it is easier to do it.

Sure, there are people who migrate because they want to leave from the oppression they experience in their home countries and they decide to follow a completely different lifestyle but these are not the majority. But they surely exist.

all religions are cancer. ALL. period. I can criticise any fanatic of any religion the same way I criticise the fanatics of the religion I grew up and was brainwashed to follow. I was able to leave. For some people it may be more difficult because of the situation in their country. However, the people who migrate in mostly atheistic west countries, they continue being fanatics by choice.

your addiction to analogies hasn’t helped you a bit into at least making proper analogies

once I had a flatmate that every time he was cooking he was leaving the kitchen like a warzone and he had used every utensil available in the kitchen. He somehow thought that it was faster for him to focus only on the cooking and after it is completed, to do all the dishes, pots, utensils, glasses, oven trays, scissors, screwdrivers, hammers, drills or whatever else he may had used.

and to top that up, OP could had just bought an additional care package by paying by his own pocket in the health clinic that he initially was. Completely free to do it if he wanted to pay 3 times the price. People don’t understand that in the so called free market there are actually unwritten rules set by the ones in power. They think that they would somehow be benefited from the lack of regulations while the regulations should be there in order to protect them from the greed of the mega-corps.

it is free market. It actually is the definition of free market, accompanied with lobbying which is direct consequence of lack of regulations.

thank god capitalism is the most efficient system people ever imagined!

Where they actually put quotes implies that they don’t think she’s gonna die at all

if she is already dead, then yes, she cannot die (again) at the hospital. I understand what you mean and tbh I’m not sure if there is one correct way to express it. For me at least it was very much understandable how it was originally written.

The way I understand it, by quoting the “in the hospital” you imply that the place may be elsewhere but still be in the future, since you don’t put focus on the action itself (death) which (according to the author) is something that has already happened. By quoting the “dies” you acknowledge that she is in the hospital and you are not questioning the place. You just focus on the tense “dies”, since she is already dead.

are you that naive by choice?

its her mother. Of course she still has hope. The parents keep hoping for their children are alive until the day they see them being buried in the ground. There are parents that are still hoping after 40 years of their child being missing if there is no body found.

However her mother has neither talked with her or even seen her in a video that for example is alive in an ICU if she can’t talk.

it does exist on lineage 20

there is an even worse case for that. CTRL + F in a browser and directly start typing while you’re in a webpage/webapp with hotkeys shortcuts. I end up marking posts/emails as spam, deleting them from my view, start replying or whatever action they’ve assigned in a single key press.

I find it more convenient to move this dock on the left side of the screen and shrink it down to a very thinner one. Then it only occupies a few pixels horizontally, which results in just a bit narrower windows.

the combined internet toggle

you can go to the settings of the notification’s pull down menu (the one that you can add/remove tiles) (pencil icon), remove the combined internet button, and add 2 separate buttons for wifi and mobile data. It could be relevant to the ROM though so I’m not sure if it exists in all phones.
