Will the next president of America have to do a world wide apology tour for this administration? Kind of like celebs do when they get their ass in a sling. in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

There was a majority of the people in the USA voting for that political solution. The government is just mirroring the people. Everyone voting in 2024 will have to die before the people of the USA has the chance to become trustable again.

    I have the impression that since HIV was controllable, people just stopped using condoms. There are other reasons to wear a condom other than HIV that may bring life long issues.

    This may also be a generational thing. In the early 2000s there was a lot of emphasis on using condoms. I don't think the kids in the 2010s and now 2020s are getting the same level of indoctrination.

    I launched my business website without analytics. Am I stupid? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
    [–] 1 point 2 months ago

    That may make sense for the improvement of the restaurant. That data serves a purpose and has a life cycle. It is ok if you process it in an anonymous way and delete it once you are done making over the restaurant.

    By no means should it be acceptable to keep it forever for "just in case" nor sharing it. If you are an interiors decorator and your life is designing restaurants, I do not think you need the data to take lessons learnt to other restaurants. Just take a look at your previous designs

    When I go to a restaurant, I do not mind that the staff knows me. If I am a regular, I do not mind if they know my favourite dish and ask if I want it or suggest other dish I also may like.

    I do mind if the restaurant keeps a note of everything I ever ate and is now sharing that information with dates attached with all restaurants.

    What I absolutely dread is if now the restaurant is sending me unwarranted letters with their new menu options.

    Install Apps without Playstore (feddit.org)
     

    Contex: I installed GrapheneOS for the first time yesterday and I am trying to get my device setup.

    I want to install and keep up to date apps on GOS. I have 2 users, one for most things that do not need Google playprotect (or whatever) and another user where I can use google sandboxed for things like banking apps.

    I want to keep my degoogled user degoogled. What would you suggest to install apps such as Signal, Spotify, Here wego, and others?

    Are APKMirror, Aptoide, APK pure or Taptap secure and reliable?

    I am already using fdroid, acrescent and obtainium for whatever I can find, but not all apps seem to be available this way.

    A new way to measure poverty shows the US falling behind Europe in c/europe@feddit.org
    [–] 3 points 4 months ago* (1 child)

    While this metric seems like a big win to evaluate poverty, it does not behave very well mathematically. Nobody makes infinite money/wealth, which makes wealth per day a stable metric. However, if someone makes very close to 0 wealth, the day per wealth metric will explode to infinity. One single individual can skew the day per wealth metric.

    Other lemmees suggested to use the median. Or you can also try to incorporate the living cost by dividing the income by the cost of living. Maybe looking into quartiles or mean less multiples of standard deviation? Idk

    Delete Disney+ Account (help.disneyplus.com)
     

    I want to delete my Disney plus account but their app and website force some ad for their latest subscription deal. My account settings are not accessible anywhere. When I am logged in and refresh the page, I can briefly see my avatar in the top right corner before the ad comes up. According to Disney's instructions, I need to use that to access my account configuration and delete it.

    Is this a denial of my right to erasure granted by the GDPR? Should I report this to some authority? If yes, who is that authority?

    Beginner's calf pain (feddit.org)
     

    Hi! I transitioned to barefoot shoes and I can get by without issues in my daily walks. I am not ready to run on barefoot shoes yet, so I got the thinnest Altras I could find and off I went.

    Probably I overdid it on the first runs, but I got some pain on the outer part of my calf. Not the full calf, just the outer part. I believe this is the part that powers the toes. That pain may be normal, but I wonder if my forefoot striking technique is wrong. Is this supposed to happen?

    TL;DR: Beginner's pain in outer calf. Is it supposed to happen or is my forefoot striking technique wrong?
