Yay guess I get to do an Intel Arc build

Billy Mitchell can sue people all the live long day and win or lose it doesn’t make him less of a clown.

My friends dumbass 12 year old kid was told he wouldn’t be given access to any social media until he was at least 16. He claimed he understood, and then proceeded to make an Instagram account with his real name and started sending pervy messages to various insta thott accounts.

Basically as a parent you have to give them access to very limited apps and make them repeatedly demonstrate they won’t misuse them. Then as they get older, assuming they don’t do anything stupid or illegal, training wheels gradually come off.

… and to avoid a boots-on-ground invasion of the main landmass of Japan, which would have cost probably a million soldiers lives, and who knows how many Japanese civilians.

"Put all your changes on 3 separate sharepoint calendars a minimum of 2 weeks in advance. Also do the normal approval garbage in ServiceNow and attend a 2 hour CAB for final approval. If you didn’t select the right dropdown menu option in the ticket details, you’ll have to start this whole process over.

Also, why does it take you guys so long to get stuff done?"

“Its not in the budget to apply security patches this quarter”

I used to do this when I was below 30 and it works pretty well for a time. If you work and have a family, this is the only segment of time you can carve into, to create more time for yourself.

One thing to be careful about though- there is growing evidence that not getting enough sleep earlier in your life like this can lead to dementia when you’re older.

I mean, this is true that the offramp was always going to be Russia keeping Crimea and the Donbas, and Ukraine getting some kind of security guarantees that fall short of NATO membership. Unfortunately we took the stupidest, most deadly, most costly way to get to this conclusion.

Yeah that makes sense. And I don’t mean you personally. My commentary was to solidify that many have criticized Braxman but from my perspective we need voices like his to bring awareness to privacy issues caused by Big Tech. We need different options and information in order to make informed choices. So I don’t know why people would shit on someone offering information and alternatives.

I suppose your level of enthusiasm for this offering tracks strongly with how credible you consider Rob Braxman. I have heard people here and elsewhere say he’s a quack or even a psyop. I do know that he’s one of the few sources to talk about client side scanning, the illusory nature of Apple’s “privacy” and other modern privacy issues.

We need robust options for privacy. Googled Android and Apple iOS are horrible options for genuine anonymity and privacy. So, I welcome any competition in this space.

Agree. I am not an open socialist and my top 5 issues probably don’t align with the usual stuff I see at the top of Lemmy communities. Still, it is a worthwhile source for some tech/privacy info and some other niche content.

It is a pretty good experience, especially with upscaling of older systems.

My favorite is when games have been decomp/ported so they have quality of life improvements. This allows for stuff like widescreen 60-fps Perfect Dark.

They need to make an open source version of the Hitster card game that lets you use this to listen to the whole song (if you choose) whether you have a Spotify account or not.

If I go pitch a tent in Vatican City and take up permanent residence there, presumably he will order the Swiss Guard not to deport me. Good to know.

Respectfully, do some reading of even middleschool level history books. He didn’t personally decide to “be mean” to particular groups. His worldview was shaped by the post WWI dynamics in Europe, latent stereotypes and domestic problems within Germany, and a whole lot of misapplied emerging science. He literally believed in racial supremecy and was trying to build an ethnostate. This motivated him to define groups of ethnic “undesirables” and also to lump in other groups that he found politically inconvenient. Read about the scapegoating of Jews circa that time. He likely believed his cruelty towards them was somehow justified because he laid all of Germany’s problems (economic issues, humiliation of the country and loss of territory post-WWI) at their feet.

TL; DR - Bad actors believe their evil behavior is justified.

They made a custom mount attaching the tattoo gun to the toolhead that included springs or something with extra give to accommodate a slightly irregular surface. They also used a small patch of skin on a relatively flat area.

You can still Duolingo and dodge (most of) the bullshit.

Use GrapheneOS.

Install Duolingo from the Aurora store, no Google account attached.

Sandbox the app and set its permissions to disallow location, disallow pulling contacts etc.

Make your Duolingo acct with a fake name and burner email (sucks for you if you already made one with your primary email and real info).

Manually add “friends” via their Duolingo usernames.

Note that, like Facebook, your contact info could be getting shared by other users who have your real info listed in their contacts. Not much you can do about that. (In fact, you could use none of the apps on this list but your contact info is probably still getting leaked by your normie friends and acquaintances.)

What is this meme template from

I would be highly suspcious of anything running proprietary software and connected to the open internet, especially now that you’ve got ignorant states like NJ and NY looking to prosecute people who might be making anything that vaguely resembles a gun part.

Same goes for slicers. Some of those don’t respect privacy either.

Do you use free tier or paid proton VPN? I am evaluating different VPN options and appreciate the data points
