Because all their friends stay. So to get them to switch, you’d need everyone thay know to switch, which would need everyone they know to switch…

… soon, you need to organize a switch between millions of people, which really isn’t happening.

So the only people on fedi are those ok with keeping multiple profiles, and even then just the ones that value the technical aspects over quantity of content: mostly tech nerds and people with strong feelings about politics.

But when China steals all their (arguably not copywrite-able) work…

TLDR:

They found debugging commands that can be used to access the memory of the device over USB. This is as much a backdoor as any device that runs unsigned firmware

Unless you store secret files on your Bluetooth dongle, you shouldn’t have to worry about this.

If it’s not running on the cloud, I can always just stay on an old version. If it’s open source, that old version can be maintained and updated indefinitely.

Save money and get to know your neighbors.

Trump probably won’t cause total collapse, so a basement full of beans is unlikely to be useful, but anyone relying on welfare or part of a minority group will need support. Savings will help with that, and could come in handy if you yourself get fired, either because of discrimination or economic recession.

Not at all. Eggs were never a significant experience to begin with.

Use unidentifiable backgrounds or remove them in post. I’d suggest small patches of sand, dirt or grass, walls, etc. Avoid anything that can be found on a map like mountains (and other large scale topography), buildings, power lines, etc.

I don’t think tiktok is worse then any other large platform. All platforms have brain rot, all platforms have dumb challenges and all platforms do a lot of spying.

I’d hope this is just a freakout about someone else spying, but It feels like an excuse to start banning a whole bunch of stuff for flimsy reasons.

… and as for the spying itself, I would be far more worried about my local government getting that data then China. I don’t live anywhere near China, what are going to do? Sell me stuff? like google does?

Go talk to the mods, but perhaps consider not posting stuff like this:

… There’s an important distinction between someone with pedophilia and a child molester …

But, to be honest being banned from hexbear is probably a good thing. That place is a shithole.

Perhaps feed the convincing fake data so they don’t realize they’ve been IP banned/used agent filtered.

He’s already shown he’s willing to interfere with and straight up ignore the results of an electron. He’s also willing to use the army as his personal goon squad, and has has support from the other branches. He’s also perfectly capable of spinning a narrative that the election was “stolen”

On the other hand, properly executing a coup is hard, and also old: It’s entirely possible he dies in office. (of natural causes or otherwise)

It’s never too early to do that thing you always wanted to do. Sure, you only get 5000 weeks at most, but that’s plenty if you make good use of them.

On the ground, near bus stops, parking lots, gas stations, anywhere people use them.

I mostly see tankies as an authoritarian (far right?) group pretending to be far left. Or at least that’s how they brand it, even though they openly advocate for government confiscation of all property.

All the tankie (far “left”) shit. It’s all either bad faith arguments (trolling), blatant propaganda or people who never bothered to fact check the propaganda.

They also create an inordinate amount of communities, had to use the “block instance” button a lot.

NSFW stuff also gets annoying after a while, but that seems less prevalent. (Just had to block one instance to get 99%)

Looking at my block list, the AI images and niece music stuff also got added at some point.

Using Linux with obscure hardware (CNC mills, chromatographs, etc) is a bit like punching yourself in the nuts, but still free.

Does your car lock up outside of cell coverage? I’m not suggesting removing the radios themselves, just the antennas. To the car, it will just always be out of range.

The antenna used for talking to the keys might cause trouble, but those are either inherently short range inductive systems or are receivable using a 20$ RTL SDR to verify it’s not sending anything else.

Should be quite easy to remove any WiFi/cellular/satellite antennas from the car’s computer. (Might be trace/chip antennas, so make sure to get those). If you’re extra paranoid, get the GPS antenna too, so it can’t simply record data indefinitely.

Might take a few hours to go through the car to make sure you get everything, but you won’t be limited to super old cars.

Just add a delay that pads it out the execute time to 10 seconds. O(1) ez.

You people realize that most crypto is even less private? Every transaction ever can be viewed by everyone, forever, by design.

Sure, a crypto wallet might not have your name on it when created, but good luck buying or selling any without giving away your identity.
