as with all technology though, as they become more accessible with newer models being made and other companies making foldables, the price for the same kind of quality product we have today will inevitably be less in the future.

this is already happening with cpu performance, display quality, etc… it’s finally very affordable to get a 120 hz phone with a fantastic display and snappy processor, specifically thinking of something like the Galaxy A54 or Pixel 8 (on a sale)

a general rule i use regarding technology purchasing is that newest featured top of the line products are best left to rich people who can afford it, as badly as i might want it.

this goes for cars, phones, etc… one benefit to this is that it gives the product time to become not just more affordable, but better quality as well.

the earliest foldables cracked at their fold points, but Samsungs newest fold phone survived JerryRigEverythings bend test which is impressive.

in a few more years, this quality will surely be available at sub 1000 dollar prices, containing the most modern hardware which will be even better than is available now.

besides uBlock Origin,

Consentomatic automatically declines cookie consent notices. works very well.

it’s very likely that would be the case assuming that we learn that some of our traditions were mistaken, likely based on limited information. (or assuming that the definition didn’t change somehow)

i want clarify that it’s not so much that they’re “no longer liberal”, because if they were following more or less the same defined liberal ideals back in 2000, they certainly were liberals. it’s moreso along the line of thought that “what the liberals back then thought was outdated”.

other areas of Lemmy have been alright for me.

here however, they just repeat the brain rot “Enlightened Centrist” meme with absolutely 0 arguments being made. very lame and simple minded “politics” being done over here!

conservatism is liberal progression into an enforced tradition.

liberalism is the progression either out of old conservative traditions, or into new ones. if traditionally enforced, this becomes conservative :O

but tell me again about how you’re a “conservative” or a “liberal”?

feeling “enlightened” yet?

edit: downvotes with no replies eh? too enlightening i guess

that has nothing to do with the ideology of centrism itself and would be ridiculous to even pretend so.

it has to do with the complexity of the situation, and more specifically for everyone supporting Israel, having to do with maintaining country relations moreso than the edit: humanist ideals unfortunately.

so misrepresenting centrism is not bigotry? which dictionary are you using?

ah yes, and i haven’t found any actually independent thinking liberals and conservatives. just people who are checking their favourite left/right wing political commentators twitter to regurgitate what they say.

i’ve never seen centrism so badly misunderstood.

i use Quad9 in everything which has uBlock Origin as an available extension, otherwise NextDNS with OISD and/or Hagezi Normal. (hagezi pro broke some images for me which were not ads or trackers)

for a quick and easy set and forget ad and tracker blocking DNS, definitely Adguard. i set this DNS on my parents devices like phone and firesticks. i set the router DNS to Quad9 to serve as a phising and malware blocker for anyone on the network.

there is a Roku in my household which can’t have DNS specifically changed, so i have to use NextDNS for my router (Adguard would work too), though ideally i just want Quad9 in most places due to the Swiss law enforced privacy policy which promises no personally identifiable logging

indigenous, aboriginal, and aborigine, mean exactly the same thing. anyone getting offended at any of these word usages probably doesn’t know the definiton.

i’ve been raised as a Gen Z to learn “first nations”, though aboriginal (from the root word aborigine) also means the exact same thing, so i personally don’t comprehend how someone can find offense in using that word.

maybe they are used to seeing aboriginals to describe aussi natives? still, it essentially means “first of the region”, or in other words, “first of the nation”.

absolutely it gets abused. any time anyone wants you to tolerate what they want you to(defend their own tolerance), they might suggest that you’re not being tolerant enough. (suggesting you intolerant)

this means that both intolerance of reasonable rules, as well as intolerance to unreasonable rules can always be twisted as “intolerant of the tolerant ruling”.

essentially, whatever an authority establishes as being right/good must be tolerated, whereas what they consider wrong/bad will not be tolerated.

of course most reasonable people know that what people think is good/bad/right/wrong varies massively, and how tricky and meaningless this fact can make the whole idea of “tolerating the intolerant”. it certainly doesn’t help in convincing the intolerant to be tolerant, so i think it’s not worth talking about.
