  • The hardest thing about maintaining ur online privacy are the people around you.

    Jump

  • Remember that woman who was arrested because her phone indicated she was at a house that was burgled at exactly that time? Police just do a dragnet. Turns out she just drove by the house as it was happening.

    In the above example, imagine someone did an anti Israel terror attack in the area. Everyone mentioning such things will be found via dragnet searches and who knows if you just happen to have been nearby when it happened while also making suspicios SMS messages.

    Dragnets are profoundly likely to catch innocent people. Protect yourself from them however you can. That should be in everyone's threat model.

  • I personally find it easier to use a separate browser for anything I don't need to be logged in for. It deletes all cookies when closed. No need to trust the untrustworthy.

  • I noticed that so many people I know were born in November. Then I counted nine months back...

    Jump

  • I assume Valentine's Day.

  • A corner is an ontologically parasitic feature of a table that can't exist on its own.

    Jump

  • I don't think so? Just looked up the definition of a parasite and it needs to live at the expense of the host. Gut bacteria are beneficial I assume, so they aren't parasitic.

  • A corner is an ontologically parasitic feature of a table that can't exist on its own.

    Jump

  • It would only be parasitic if a round table was forced to be square against its desires. If a table wants to be square, the corners are being helpful.

  • What is the coolest website you’ve visited that no one knows about?

    Jump

  • What is an old movie that couldn't be made today?

    Jump

  • I always assumed that every one of them had made out or had sex with her at one point.

    Your phone is a snitch in your pocket, and the law won't save you. It's time to break the surveillance machine.

    Jump

  • Snowden showed us ages ago that all phone conversations are recorded. This is fact.

    Do phones record what we say outside of phone calls? If you have voice control enabled, yes.

    Do phones listen even if that isn't enabled? Probably sometimes, but I don't know that for sure.

    Jump

  • If a specific guy was following you everywhere, that wouldn't bother you? Having a stalker wouldn't be a big deal?

    I see no reason why it's less disturbing if it's done by my own phone.

  • Payback

    Jump

  • Are some of them princess frogs or is simply being royalty sufficient? We need to consult the Grimm brothers.

  • 2600: Hacker Quarterly @lemmy.world
    Bilbo Baggins @hobbit.world

    Anyone get the Pac-Man 2600? I was disappointed.

  • Please help me remember the name of a game.

    Jump

  • You would make a mint on Wheel of Fortune. You had one letter!

  • Windows 95 let installers trash its files then fixed the mess behind their backs

    Jump

  • 3.5" was still better than zip disks. At least you couldn't break your floppy drive with a bad disk. Zip drives would break due to a bad disk such that they damaged any other disks you used. Then those broken disks would break any working drive, etc. First and maybe only communicable hardware bug.

  • With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready?

    Jump

  • I've found that tor canvwork. Just refresh the connection until reddit doesn't block. Same for VPN location. Just choose other locations until one works.

  • If I buy a domain not from my own country, will it effect the useage at all?

    Jump

  • It's going to be retired though, unless something changes. All io domains will disappear.

    It's generally safer to stick to 3 or more letter domains since those aren't tied to countries.

  • TempleOS won't comply with the new BS age verifcation laws

    Jump

  • There are a lot of Linux distros. Capitulation to age verification is a good way to know that a distro is compromised generally. Now I need to figure out how not to use systemd.

  • "You're swimming against the tide making games like this": Why more developers didn't copy Firewatch's reactive storytelling

    Jump

  • I love games like this. I replay Firewatch probably once a year. Walking simulator is such a dismissive genre name, but these games tend to be short and emotionally rich. What Remains of Edith Finch is one of my other favorites.

    I wish there were 1000 more to play. Yes, I enjoy sinking hundreds of hours into Satisfactory or Dark Souls, but sometimes I want to feel things and that is what these games deliver.

  • Treasure

    Jump

  • This forced me to look up the lore on Dark Souls mimics. Apparently they are former members of a lost clan of gods exiled for the sin of avarice.

    So, it's not impossible that a greedy princess is one of them.

  • A brain transplant is one of those rare cases where you’d rather be the donor than the recipient.

    Jump

  • If full body transplants become possible, the most obvious way forward is growing bodies in vats. When you hit 30 or 40, you start up a new body using your own DNA and swap over at age 50 or 60.

  • Puerto - Guim Tió Zarraluki

    The next time you are trying to get one more thing into your suitcase, remember that the entire universe once fit into a pinpoint. So, it'll fit.

    sometimes instances go down and I can't reply to threads from that instance. it'd be nice if Jerboa would either save my comment as a draft, or tell me before I tapped out a whole long comment.
