Well, you never actually addressed the points. But if expecting that is “being a dick”, well, whatever…

Reply point by point:

Also, who’s doing the strawmanning here? I said that “phones are useful devices that people rely on, while [smart glasses] are not”. Then, you went on a tirade how I said that smart glasses are “marginally convenient” instead of “literally useless”.

Did I say that they are literally useless? Or rather, implied that they are something along the lines of “marginally convenient”, thus not being “useful devices that people rely on”?

Also, I did not say anything about equivalence. I said “more akin to”. Which you took as literal equivalence.

Can you read? If yes, read my previous comment.

See my previous comment about strawmanning, mr. “I learned about logical fallacies 5 days ago”

EDIT: So mad you come and check the replies within 5 minutes just to downvote?

If it makes you happy you can think you won the argument

Yeah, sure, you just claimed that I strawmanned their argument… Cmon.

This is the wildest pedantry I’ve witnessed in a while.

It’s really no different

Was the initial claim

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats&months=48 The monthly stats don’t look too bad to me. The yearly stats are meaningless.

I’m not sure if the centralization is worse than the large portion of users on the large servers who joining copies of established communities on their own instances. Also, from my other reply:

It would force you to write a more descriptive name. Maybe we want to hide by community title and not the handle though.

Say you want to have a community for memes. It is terrible UX if you just see seven different “[email protected]” in the result. So with an opinionated search, you instead name your community Sopuli Memes, Solarpunk Memes, Programming Memes etc., or just Funny Memes Archive, and they would not be hidden.

By that logic, its equal to a phone is an equal strawman. It is a way less vital device than a phone.

IMO, a more opionate search would fix this. Just recommend the most active community and show the others in gray.

There are oral rapid tests for drugs in my country that the police use

It is quite different, phones are useful devices that people rely on, this is not. More akin to breaking some useless annoying gadget like a toy siren or something

1. get each traffic cop one 2) there are similar devices for the rapid testing of drugs as well

No? This all sounds so weird to me. Breathalyzers exist.

Do some countries really use dumb tests like this to enforce DUI laws? What?

Only permanent solution is to stop using smartphones altogether

Even if you can’t, minimizing smartphone use, uptime and carrying mitigates some of the risk

There’s a million easier ways to claim the German unemployment money than that

A Git history would be quite an easy way to show that you are doing something regularly.
