It’s not real but I don’t understand who benefits from faking this

I’m sorry, I’m having difficulty following your point.

That’s a really, really crap argument that is permissive of all kinds of cultural genocide.

Isn’t it the opposite? He’s arguing that work of cultural importance should NOT be in private hands. You might say, “Who gets to determine what’s culturally significant? And why do we trust governments to do a better job than private collectors?” Those are fair questions, I think, but then I get lost again:

A LOT of artwork is in private collections that by no right should be.

Right, that’s what he’s arguing too.

I live in country that used to “legally” buy and sell people.

Ok, so… You acknowledge that just because it’s legal to trade in something, doesn’t mean that it’s moral or ethical. So is that also true of culturally-significant artwork?

See why I’m confused as to your argument?

Eh, “Good thing we had dangling pianos to drop on the guy who’s been cutting all the cords on our dangling pianos” isn’t quite a strong argument for the pro-dangling pianos side

It’s just reposting ABC News if that matters

I’ve been using Beeper. It’s open source and built on Matrix bridges, also open source. For RCS you have to link it to your Google Messages

Precisely. He should have used the flags from England, France, and Spain. This has been my point from the start

Some day we’ll find out where English, Spanish, and French come from, I’m sure

I’m aware, but why did he choose those flags for the thumbnail? All those languages are named for countries that have flags

The five languages: Quebecoise Japanese Canadian Taiwanese Mexican

I can install any app I want on my Mac. How is this different?

Maybe not the best time to fire lasers at Ecuador, just saying

I use Transmission on MacOS as well, but I wish they would update their UI. I’ve been using Transmissionic on Windows for that reason

I’ll post some while we wait:

• six cases of workers who developed cancer or leukemia due to radiation exposure
• There would have been more cases, but people were evacuated

Karma for what?

After Fukushima, there was a reddit comment to the effect of, “You mean it took an earthquake AND a tsunami to make a nuclear plant dangerous? Nuclear sounds pretty safe to me!”

There is a specific kind of nuclear simp who will go to any length to ignore its dangers. I hope we can leave that on reddit and keep Lemmy a place of honest appraisal. I’m not even knocking nuclear’s benefits. They are many. But it’s crazy that every 10 years we have one of these disasters and every 10 years the simps come out to reassure us that it’s nothing, really

Gonna need to know more. What method do you use to lock your phone? Is it rooted?

Also: did they return the phone to you, or to your friend? Could it be your friend who went through these apps?
