To those of you with nothing to hide: One day you might have. Because you don’t make the rules. (mullvad.net)

The most common argument used in defense of mass surveillance is ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’. Try saying that to women in the US states where abortion has suddenly become illegal. Say it to investigative journalists in authoritarian countries. Saying ‘I have nothing to hide’ means you stop...

Schlemmy ,

The 'hand me your unlocked phone' has worked for me on several occasions.

    The problem that I see is that if they one day decide to use that domain, they can force you into handing it over.
    Either legally or by extortion and suing you into the sky.

    Both are unlikely but there is a chance.

    Schlemmy ,

    I like your drawing style.
    Awesome

    Schlemmy ,

    And they've made Bing your standard browser and activated Copilot.

    Is Teams a messaging app? 😮‍💨
    Then please give me a way to sort and group my chats.

    Schlemmy ,

    Yeah, about that.

    Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

    After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.

    Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

    I get sick from the sleazeball slimey replies like ''I'm so happy to have been part of project a''. People chiming in to shamelesly self promote on other people's posts.

    Schlemmy ,

    Thanks for the lolz. I needed that.

    Schlemmy ,

    Totalled my car three years ago. Never bothered buying a new one. I save a lot of money and accepting my faith when relying on public transport has given me so much mental freedom. I take the train to work and the last part of the route is by shared bikes. Love it.

    Schlemmy ,

    So, implement it in cars... Lethal machines that need to be limited.

    Is osmand normally terrible?

    I just tried osmand. It took forever to locate me and then the map would freeze for minutes, then the blue arrow would finally jump to my location. It seems useless for real time navigation, is that normal? Google maps works fine on the phone (Android) so it's not the hardware. Is there maybe some setting I haven't found?...

    Schlemmy ,

    Nope. But it can be demanding when using online maps. Try to have your most used area downloaded in your phone.

    supermarket club cards

    Hey I'm sure you all know how sketchy club cards are for collecting your data. But I do begrudge paying slightly higher prices just for valuing my privacy. I was wondering if there was any way to sign up to these things whilst limiting the data they have access to. Would it be enough to sign up with fake details and never use...

    Schlemmy ,

    You could just give them fake personal information. In the end, if they really want they could identify you because you probably pay with your card?

    Schlemmy ,

    You're a poet, my friend.
