Age of consent in many countries, including the UK is (rightly) 16

That’s a great saying, gonna save that!

Assuming I appear naked in a field in England in 1375, I would first try to, in no particular order (at first, then a particular order)

• find cloth to cover my face and hands so I don’t transmit or catch any diseases
• distill water so I can drink it without getting diseases
• use yams or horse urine to create HRT
• communicate with the locals and seek a local blacksmith to create a metal tube with metal balls inside it, and mix charcoal, potash, and sulfur to make a primitive gun to defend myself against the people who think I’m a witch or a demon or whatever
• talk to the women and encourage them to rise up against the system and patriarchy, teach them how to make weapons, about 4 field crop rotation if they don’t already know it, otherwise about automated steam engines, weavers, hydroelectric dams, etc
• march up to the feudal lord and demand democracy, with the fear of the gun and half the population behind me they will agree
• teach about the scientific method to get them to question things, do their own research, and learn more
• there will be scientific labs, primitive computers can be developed, we can spread our advanced culture to the rest of Afro-Eurasia, also prevent slavery
• warn people about going to America and Australia unprepared, go with them in modern ships and don’t spread disease, talk to the locals and trade with them and learn from them, don’t kill them or replace them. Teach them the tech advancements too
• Write down lots of things, invent the printing press if not already invented, document human knowledge and encourage more documentation by others

This is all if I have any measure of success at the first things and don’t die or kill myself

Scientifically speaking, there is no absolute reference frame. So you can be wherever you like depending on what reference you choose.

Not usually, I wouldn’t, but if I would I would pronounce the r like short oo with vocal fry

Why do people assume time and space didn’t exist outside our universe? Maybe it did, maybe it doesn’t. We can’t know. But that’s not the same as ‘there was definitely no time before the big bang, or space outside our observable universe’

I agree with the first part, but I absolutely do not want to give my biometric data to the government. They clearly already have a way of assigning everyone a number for the National Insurance Number, so just use that

Or women, trans people, people who draw cartoons of Mohammed, etc

Homophonic

I meant a more graphical way, but yes, that would work

The only one I really miss is an NFC payments app, but a local LLM for Android that’s FOSS would be cool too - PocketPal is free, but not open source or on F-Droid.

Also LibreOffice for desktop is great, but on mobile there aren’t any easy to use ones in the same way Google Docs is, I’ve tried LibreOffice for Android and Collabora

That’s worrying, kaffe is a strong Swedish custom

Your link has a paywall

I wonder if you can

No, it was clever from a business decision. Unethical, but strategic. ‘Stupid’ would imply it was a mistake, or not considered properly.

You think it was stupid? It was obviously an intentional choice to influence people to pester their friends to get Apple devices so it will ‘just work’

There should be a way to hard reset a device? Yes, there should, and it should be easy and simple. It’s ok if it erases the device, but it shouldn’t be a useless brick without connecting to any company’s servers. Of course, I wouldn’t expect any better from an Apple device, they’re very locked down.

It’s selfish, but hair growth. Hair removal steals so much of my limited time.

According to Last-Thursdayism, both came at the same time - last Thursday, when the universe was created
