  • You can't make this stuff up.

    A service requiring users to upload verifiable identification info, created and staffed by literal government spooks. And -- what?!? -- they're using said data inappropriately?

  • You do know that partners are optional, right? This sounds like a broken relationship to me, though maybe you left out the reasons you stay together.

    My SO has bipolar 1 with psychotic features (she hears voices, sees fractals constantly, and has had multiple full-blown delusions departed from reality), ADHD, and to top it off, is an addict and recovering alcoholic.

    A week into our relationship (in 2017), I was ready to walk as I was being gaslit to believe that I had cheated on her by having my female supervisor's phone number in my phone. By the time I was at the door with my things, she realized the delusion wasn't real, and she apologized.

    Things like this pop up from time to time. Our pretty next door neighbor suddenly must be my secret girlfriend. The reason I'm buying new clothes is to impress girls. Etc., etc.

    The thing is, each time these delusions (or any symptoms that manifest in an adversarial way to me) take hold, there is an understanding that I am not required to bring her back to reality. I have to take care of me first.

    Fortunately, I'm a romantic sap, and she credits me with a sort of magic that I can knock her out of weeks-long delusions with a few words and my pure innocence. But she always remembers that day I was about to walk. She knows I am always willing to walk from that stuuf. Not as an open threat. As a reminder that my mental health is my number one priority.

    If she was doing what your partner does to you, she would hate herself. We work because we care. We fuck up and hurt each other sometimes, but the core premise of this relationship is caring, patience and communication.

    If the base of your relationship is deceit and control, you may not ever feel safe enough to take care of your partner's needs.

    Just consider that its possible that this relationship you're in isn't doing you any favors. You can always end relationships if they aren't healthy.

  • Nobody here knows about it because our news is all owned by Sinclair. The talk is about how Platner made some reddit posts years ago.

    ETA: Jay Mainers don't give a shit about a datacenter. They aren't all clamoring for anything like that. These folks hunt and fish and use their various ATVs.

  • The "palantíri" are crystal balls in "The Lord of the Rings" that let Middle-earth’s worst tyrants spy on the heroes of the story.

    And that's not even an accurate description of the stones. Not used simply for spying in the time of or heroes, but for corruption of what was once fair and good. Saruman, Denethor both utterly corrupted by Sauron, who now controls the stones.

    Also, after reading the article: Fuck this timeline

  • It starts as passive tech. How long before its active? People always whine about, "that's just a slippery slope fallacy that won't ever really happen. This saves lives!" Well, its happening. The slope is real.

  • You're right, but if they have your password manager, they likely have your phone, and that means they have your Aegis too.

    Still, my suggestion is less of a second factor unless you have 2fa on your keypass, so not best practice.

  • That really is nice, right? I also like when my apps have no mechanism to connect to the internet, so you don't have to worry about trackers, data exfiltration, etc.

  • Is that Bhutlerian Jihad stuff from Dune, or... What is that? I know I recognize it from something I've read.

    Edit: typo

  • I move to dry herb vape in January 2025 and haven't looked back. My doctor recommended it when I mentioned chronic headaches 70% of the time I smoke.

    The pocket sized ones I've tried have real trouble keeping up with a draw that most smokers are used to pulling. You need to slow way down. The one desktop model I've seen is a bit less wispy, but that format isn't for me.

    I have the Arizer Air Max and the YoCan Hit 2. I like the Air Max for at home use, and it has a removable& replaceable battery.

    The first thing I noticed was they don't feel like you're getting a hit because the "smoke" is so wispy compared to combustion. But you still get way high.

    The second thing I noticed was that I no longer cough or get headaches from puffing.

    Edit: I forgot to add that I settled on 180°C - 184°C as my operating temperature. I started much higher at 202C, but it tastes much better at lower temps, lasts longer (more puffs per use and battery), and sometimes the higher temps were coating the backs of my teeth with stickiness that made my tongue dry for days.

  • It was frustrating, leaving the 🇺🇸 behind with our materialism, having ditched all "meta" stuff since Cambridge Analytica, only to find that finding housing, ordering food, calling a taxi, contacting the postal service all was on Facebook/Whatsapp/IG.

    I couldn't even view the village council mandates at our new home without it. When looking for housing, agents kept sending links to FBMP listings. I'd ask for photos and get a link to a FB gallery. I stuck to my guns and didn't use it, instead asking agents to email me pics and friends to show me things, but I got a lot of eyerolling, and it made everything much more difficult.
