Why wrap it in though?

How about 'Hey Tom, what are your thought's about this google search??'

That Day One To Do list is getting so long he will need a week to have someone read it for him

In EU you were given an option by META to pay for adfree experience or accept targeted ads

Problem 1: if you paid, they would not stop tracking you. They would just stop showing ads. They would still be able to suggest content from commercial accounts.

Problem 2: the price was unreasonable. It depended on how many accounts you have across the platforms but i believe that the price for my profile and a couple of pages was €32 every month

Problem 3: these two options replaced the option to accept untargeted ads. I was ok with untargeted but they removed the option

Their solution has since been deemed as 'not ok' by the EU data protection board

I deleted my account back in November when they enforced the 'pay or ok' option. I was not ok with that

Have read a lot of books since !

The big pickup trucks and large SUVs dont help either.

My very rough calculations using 85kg as an average adult weight, results in 153gr of iron

My problem is, that i dont have any expectations as to how heavy a longsword is but i'd assume it to be a lot heavier!

After further research it looks like the more appropriate number of humans needed to make an average longsword would be closer to 25.000

Given the same options, so would you!

Nonstandard email sounds so wrong! As long are it is valid, there should be no limits. Especially if they ask you to confirm by clicking on a link in a mail

I believe that these are manufactured eggs in order to minimize waste. Instead of wasting the ends, and the smaller slices with no or little yolk, the yolk and whites from eggs are separated and reunited to make uniform slices of boiled egg.

Nobody would serve this. Its for use in kitchens, canteens and restaurants

I like that i have control of my mail, that it is not being used to track me or target ads and also that i dont need to work about storage

For me its pretty good!

Please use a personal email. My email is 'mail' @ 'my actual name'. It does not get more personal than that

But you can't use emails starting with mail@, admin@, support@, info@, main@, etc.

Instead they advised me (3 times) to create a personal email on a service like Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail, Orange, etc

I have had a Redmi Note 9, that I as very pleased with, so much so, that when the screen broke, I was happy to upgrade to the Redmi note 12 Pro+ G5!

I expected an upgrade to an already great phone (except for the forced ads and bloatware), but besides that, i felt that I was going from a middle range phone, to a newer and better phone within the series (based on all the"pro", "+" and "G5" that my previous did not have)

I must admit though, than now after I have been using it for a while I don't feel that it is a better phone. I love the super fast 120W charging but that is about all that I love with this phone...

In particular the camera is my greatest issue and the reason why I am looking for answers

On my Redmi Note 9, when I filmed video, it had an image stabilization that worked quite well. On Redmi Note 12, I can't see this. I film at 720 or 1080 with 30FPS, as this is the range that my Redmi Note 9 allowed images stabilization for.

I could make much better footage with the Note 9, than I can with the 12 Pro+ !

Anybody experienced the same, or maybe even have a fix for this?

A huge post about how to create a Facebook business account without a personal account. The whole thing was filler text and ambiguous sentences like this

Block bug? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by cosmicrookie@lemmy.world to c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

How does blocking work? I have blocked a few users and this seems to work but today I noticed that one of them replied to a comment that was made to my comment. So not directly to me but to the one who replied my comment. How should it work? Id assume that my comment and any child comments would be hidden to accounts that i have blocked.
