it means "been found out" or "exposed"

They didn't want France getting wind of their cheese and declaring war on Norway for having the audacity to have non-french cheese

Or just bring an empty bottle through and fill it up at the tap/water fountain?

At least you can (theoretically, if you have your own datacentre or botnet) run, finetune and play with this yourself, so at least it's somewhat useful, especially if you finetune it for applications where word predicting is actually exactly what you want

It's normal for most afaik but that's because manufacturers make a trimmed down phone to go on your wrist which means you have to charge it daily, without realising it's on your wrist so it doesn't need to be super slim with huge cuts to battery size to go in your pocket.

My garmin has an always on display, heart rate, steps, blood oxygen, thermometer, barometer and whatever else and yet still manages a 4 week battery life, 3 weeks with normal use (1h gps per day, using the touchscreen and higher brightness) or even around 50-60h of GPS/more frequent heart rate/active maps activity tracking

It's on 7% now and is giving me an estimated battery life of >2 days, which just shows how abysmal many smart watch battery lives are

I'm saying I have no sympathy for Palestinians who can't sympathise with other people who were forced from their homes, or Israelis who can't do the same. They are free to dislike the IDF, but using them as an excuse to hate Jews and/or Israelis is no better than the people who hate all Palestinians and/or Arabs masking or justifying it with their hatred of Hamas.

Ok, I'll be sure to use my automatic mechanical watch to check my decent speed and heart rate on my ski trip... Oh wait...

Personally I have a Garmin Fenix for the 3 week battery life but let's not pretend that a mechanical watch and a smartwatch fill even close to the same market segment... It's like telling someone who dropped 3k on a mountain bike to buy a car instead as it's faster on the highway: ok, but not comparable and not relevant

Although the ADIZ covers parts of China's Fujian and Zhejiang provinces in its northwestern part, PLA flights in those areas are not reported as incursions unless they flew within the 12-mile territory limit or median line between the outer islands controlled by ROC forces and mainland China.

I mean the British had a huge role in ending slavery, not because it was the right thing to do but because other countries were doing it better and so it was better to invest in stopping others than doing it themselves

The US and USSR similarly ended most colonialism because they were the most powerful nations in the world and yet couldn't compete in that field

As countries become powerful, they seek to destroy whatever the previous symbol of power was and replace it with whatever they're good at until the next newly powerful country comes along

For 3, I thought weed just didn't affect me too strongly as I am well aware of drugs affecting different people in different ways (if I have a coffee I can't sleep until around 14 hours after), but if not everyone has the right enzyme? Is there a way to induce it or something as I don't fancy putting shit that doesn't belong into my lungs but also see the relaxing properties of weed could be nice

I think it only blocks one way, it has to be mutual to block it both ways

I think by brand recognition they don't necessary mean "mastodon is a known brand so it'll be fine", rather that mastodon is a big enough brand for their voice to be heard... I imagine that it'll end up being like mozilla and google with the w3c, where even if one is far more open and collects less data than the other while also having fewer users, they still agree to and collaborate to create the same standards, and users can disable these
