Not sure I understand the reasoning for discontinuing. Google standing in the way? Not enough f-droid users benefiting from it? It didn’t see development cause it was already feature complete?

Since we are all going; here is my take. Breasts were always sexual in nature. For most species they signal fertility and what part of the cycle the individual is in at the moment. At some point human females evolved to have perpetually inflated breasts. There are a few different theories as to why that happened, but it is beside the point for this discussion. So considering they were evolved to attract or dissuade males, I say they certainly have a sexual function. In addition to this, breasts play a big part in sexual pleasure for the wearer.

Now consider people pairing up in monogamous couples. The male suspects that other males might be motivated to pursue his mate by the visage of his mates nice boobies. He asks his mate to cover them up so he feels more safe in his position. Now hundreds of years pass, and what do you know, it is in grained in the cultures. It’s not really too bad for the women, so they have lived with it, for the sake of peace. Sometimes it is even convenient to be covered. For example in cold weather. I bet there is a correlation between climate and a cultures willingness to have boobs in the open.

Tribes have not only hidden their populations breasts, they have been known to hide their women all together, so the neighbouring tribes don’t steal them. I feel that this is a bit similar. Put a gold bar in a glass display long enough, and someone will try to take it. Everything carries risk. If your society isn’t good at maintaining law, then it’s a bad idea to display the gold bar. In some places it might not be an issue at all. All women could go around topless as well, but the risk that they are approached by an aspiring male will probably be slightly increased.

So why do it now, in my amazing, functioning, egalitarian and lawful country? It is down to history and people being comfortable with what we have always done.

My humble opinion is that we abolish any law that prevent any boob owner from showing them anywhere. But I’m lazy, so I won’t start a revolution over it.

Or it just takes a chain of people that have been watching Russian state controlled news since they learned to walk.

VPNs provides limited privacy and some security. For example, your traffic might be correlated to the traffic exiting at you VPN provider if enough netflow data is collected. Theoretically data from your ISP and your VPNs ISP would be enough. Today, countries and their agencies are probably collecting/trading enough netflow data for this purpose.

As a rule of thumb; since companies these days are very keen on getting in to the data trading market; you can safely assume that most of them has access, if it is legal.

The dishwasher also reduces clean water usage by a significant amount.

Cause it feels nice?

There is a silver lining. 90% of plastic is sequestered carbon.

Surreal to sit face to face with someone who has murdered so many people and caused so much suffering. Just staring at the guys face and knowing all those children that drew their last breath in pain and panic cause of that guy. Shit.

Are we talking about pubic hair? Also what game?

4 hours seem excessive. But I would not eat at a place that had me watch the wristwatch while I’m eating. I come to a restaurant to relax, socialize and eat well. Anyways, eating slowly would make me eat less, I think. Gives time for the full feeling to set in. I can normally throw in a lot of food if I do it fairly quickly.

No! Hot.

I think the above comment is mostly referring to the consumers complacency about their privacy being completely eroded and not caring that they are being taken advantage of.

I suspect it’s a case of “We always did it this way, so it’s the superior way”.

Perhaps it’s easier to ask copilot or chatgpt. A quick but slightly inaccurate response might satisfy the user better.

So what do you answer when they react like that? What is their explanation? What is the problem exactly?

Perhaps you can redirect the home tab to the subscription tab.

I can see this so clearly with my dad. He is reverting to a toddler state. Whining about everything and everyone. Shouting, screaming and being unreasonable at every turn. Both my parents entertainment feed is filled with animated stuff mainly targeted to children. At least they are not in to destructive stuff, like ops grandma.
