They don’t even try to claim they’ll stop collecting your data. No one actually cares about seeing a targeted vs non-targeted advertisement; the targeting technology is the issue.
Paying Facebook $14 a month and still being tracked, just invisibly, solves nobody’s problem.
To quote Epic Rap Battles of History, “Why’d you name your company after your dick?”
I’m a fan of it but wish there was a Linux app and an easier way to sync my data between devices. I have the backup files synced with Nextcloud but it’s still not intuitive.
There also are no top and bottom layers, and the test piece is larger than the surfaces of the press, so the results are only applicable for very specific loads.
Are you insinuating that the United States has criminally prosecuted individuals purely for their support for Palestine? Any examples?
Read those articles and explain how the US is violating them? Also, your article is in an unknown journal from a place without free speech.
Edit: Love the downvotes from people not bothering to check the primary sources.“US is bad so they must be violating international law with sanctions”
No countries recognize a right to protest at any time and location. Imagine if someone could protest the government by just forming a human circle around the leaders shouting, “you can’t move us!” or by standing in a library and yelling constantly.
I try to limit the number of private companies that I give my data to. Each project on its own isn’t enough to warrant creating a new account, and I never have interest in them all at the same time.
Making a Discord account is my barrier to some projects
Thank you! I’ll probably just use KYC because I’m not a high value target and the alternative for me is just buying and spending Bitcoin.
How do you get your XMR? I looked into it once but it seemed like a hassle
Welcome to Linux, friends
Yep, if you’re a criminal making ghost guns to commit crimes because you can’t pass a background check to buy a gun (and then scratch the serial number off), then it’s already a crime for you to have that ghost gun because you’re a prohibited person.
Requiring a serial number changes nothing and only affects nerds, not criminals.
Untraceable for what?
Almost all of them still use metal parts that can be x-rayed and still have barrels that leave ballistic fingerprints on bullets. Serial numbers don’t make something GPS-tracked.
Untraceable in terms of ownership? There is no national firearm registry. Guns bought from FFLs require a NICS background check that is stored in an ATF database (of questionable legality), but private sale guns often don’t require NICS so the database isn’t an accurate registry of gun ownership.
And criminals scratch off serial numbers anyways.
And add on that any laws requiring serialization of privately-made firearms are only affecting nerds, not criminals. Criminals that are making guns because they can’t pass a NICS background check will continue not adding serial numbers - because they’re criminals.
I run a Pi Zero W over wifi as my backup pi-hole so that clients can still connect if my main system is updating or down. Planning to get a more powerful one for OctoPrint.
If you’re paying for video or audio calls, you’re doing it because you want features or privacy. I doubt Twitter offers more features, and I know they won’t offer more privacy.
- Bash scripts which updates my system (not completely, snaps and flatpaks seem to be immune to this). I am pretty sure you can’t do this on Windows.
Can’t you just add a line in the script
flatpak update
You’re kind of arguing against the foundation of human society. If we’re all required to “do our own research” about things, where does that requirement end?
Yes, you should do your own research. How much research you need to do depends on the subject matter, how critical it is, and the potential for motivation to mislead you. I can’t tell you where that ends, but for politics and news I am of the opinion that it should end a lot later than trusting a random stranger to censor your access to content.
How can I buy food if I have to do my own research on what’s healthy or what’s dangerous?
You probably should research this.
What about my tap water?
Yeah, you probably should also research this before drinking it because of how critical it is. Maybe get it tested or read your city’s water test results. Do they have motivation to mislead you?
How can I put gas in my car? Use electricity? A computer? A phone?
I’m not sure what the struggle is here.
Somewhere along the way you have to trust the systems that have been built by the people before us to function, and for people who work in those fields who are experts to use their expertise.
Yes and no. Should you see inconsistencies, you should probably verify that what you’re trusting is accurate. Inconsistencies like blocking wikileaks on a qanon blocklist. However, what you’re talking about isn’t even the case here. We’re talking about a blocklist maintained by strangers on the internet.
Is it usable with hybrid graphics in a laptop yet? I’ve heard about horrible battery drain and sleep issues before.
