In my childhood in Germany kids didn’t need to be picked up or dropped off, we either walked or took public transit (not dedicated school buses either). As far as I can tell that’s still the case where I live. It’s a very different urban design that facilitates it, and it results in more human lives in my opinion.

on android apps can also request a list of other apps installed, for example the mcdonalds app can check whether the kfc app is installed. it doesn’t give apps broad permission to check for every single app on your device (before android 11 that was actually the case), but apps can definitely spy on their competitors that way.

the food also flavors the water, and sometimes a mildly food-flavored hot water is a really great thing to have

seems like a lot of work for not a lot of utility

you’ve got an interesting imagination, but please don’t use it for evil

it’s a funny reference to more broken times

i sometimes struggled with alsa and pulseaudio, especially in more niche or diy distros, and at the time it was frustrating as hell, but looking back it’s a nostalgic memory.

the factory must in fact grow

This case was definitely kitty experimenting with cause and effect, I can tell by the pixels
