You actually have to make sure the device never connects to the internet in order to create a local only user account.

It's cold and the metal shrinks more than the glass, run hot water over it.

doctorcrimson ,

Either lots of pull-up bar related exercises, like hang-toughs, towel-pulls, and L-sits, or these things

If communities start to fill up with irrelevant stuff then it makes sense to start moderating it, but in all other cases I think the users should decide what is and is not appropriate for the sub. Post frequency isn't nearly high enough on lemmy that allowing votes to sort things wouldn't be sufficient.

A Short Sale position is actually a risk and if people know you're doing it they will ride you to the bank by buying up as many shares as they can and force you to pay them when your deadline to repay the borrowed shares comes up.

WSB might be the butt of a lot of jokes but they have (in the past at least) analysts and insights that rival top investment firms, not reflecting of the average participants performance. A much more logical decision would be to inflate the price at launch and then when it reaches a critical state ride it (short sell) into the ground as it panic sells into penny stocks.

doctorcrimson ,

Yeah because those are some names everybody associates with ethical responsibility. /s

doctorcrimson ,

TBH even if the costs of humans are high, their supply is nearly infinite. Spending resources on Robots would just be a waste.

doctorcrimson ,

Yes. If ethical standards don't exist for an industry then it shouldn't fucking exist.

doctorcrimson ,

I think the problem is that it is storing the user faces, at all. If it were simple identifying each person's characteristics there would be no reason to save that data for later. Also, apparently the company advertises that the machine does transmit this data for estimating age and gender for every purchase.

doctorcrimson ,

That sounds like bullshit though, the bullet would have the same speed when released from the shell in addition to speed generated by the blast in the shell. Did the plane fire and then accelerate enough to catch up to the bullet? That's pretty convoluted and unlikely, you would have to actively try to shoot your own plane.

EDIT: The dumbass shot at a slight down angle and then engaged the afterburners. Skill Issue.

doctorcrimson ,

The Multiverse really ruined this show.

doctorcrimson ,

In ancient China they played The Cycle of Life, Death, and the Five Elements but it became so convoluted and toxic everybody left the community.

So to recap, your choices are

  1. One of 70 flavors of Chromium including the "privacy centric" Opera who run Chinese loan shark gangs for some reason, Edge which is Microsoft Chromium and aside from hardware acceleration capabilities is pretty meh, and Brave which despite operating their own separate search engine index are one of the most likely to sell your data and/or kidneys

  2. Rapidly Enshitifying Firefox

  3. Safari - no comment

  4. Whatever the fuck Gecko is...

  5. Tor Browser (for people with infinite time to wait for pages to load, or maybe just drug dealers)

doctorcrimson ,

That sounds nice, I'll check it out.

doctorcrimson , (edited )

Librewolf is built on Gecko, people often accredit it as a "firefox fork".

Tor Browser seems cool, it's what I use on my phone whenever I have spare time to let it load before searching things which don't require a lot of bandwidth. I'll edit the above list.

Mullvad? Is that some kind of slur? I've never heard of that but searches say it's a VPN client. ¯\(ツ)/¯

doctorcrimson ,

If congress passed a legal regulation for corporations to have more humane practices and standards in specific achievable terms, with punishments for misconduct, I would celebrate that immediately. There is no world where that sign isn't my actual political philosophy. Same with incremental change, sure big changes are nice but I'll take incremental every single chance we get. Anybody who mocks those two stances is a moron from my perspective.

doctorcrimson ,

I supported big changes like HR 1 For The People Act to try to get money out of US Politics, with all my heart, but fuck all came out of a large partisan bill when it can't get through the senate.

doctorcrimson , (edited )

Was it unfair? I haven't been following since they got bought out by spyware?

EDIT: Audacity was acquired by a company called MuseGroup in 2021 who added unnecessary telemetry and they admit that they do provide the data the collect to third parties. Some claim the changes were reverted but I haven't confirmed that myself so until I see there is no telemetry it's spyware as far as I'm concerned.

doctorcrimson ,

That's not entirely true, Audacity was acquired by a company called MuseGroup who added unnecessary telemetry and they admit that they do provide the data the collect to third parties. It's spyware as far as I'm concerned.

doctorcrimson ,

doctorcrimson ,

Were they reverted? I'll have to check later, but an official statement from Muse Group stated they provided the data they collected to third parties so idk. If the telemetry is still there then I'm not downloading it, Open Source projects generally don't need telemetry to begin with.

doctorcrimson ,

They got acquired in 2021 so a lot of people have been very skeptical about it lately.

doctorcrimson ,

And thats fair, you should always do your own research and make your own informed decisions.

doctorcrimson ,

If it was truly opt in, then why did the community feel the need to create forks removing the telemetry? Plus, a lot of FOSS don't need telemetry to start with. They get tons of voluntary high quality feedback without automated collection.

doctorcrimson ,

Lmao

Pot says the Kettle exagerates.

doctorcrimson ,

I had never even heard of bluesky before and also not really interested. Looks like another Twitter replacement, but I never really got into twitter to start with.

I saw the title and I was like "1987 blue sky studios is open to the public? The hell does that mean?"

doctorcrimson ,

Is it weird that I'm enamored by technological improvements but mostly disgusted by the "tech world" ?

doctorcrimson ,

Technically, it's not treason unless it helps a country that the US is officially at war with. It's Sedition and Election Interference by US Legal Definition.

doctorcrimson ,

I think the vast majority of landlords are parasites, but definitely not all.

You think every single person should be entitled to hundreds of thousands of dollars of property on loan? Some grown ass adults out there struggle to tie their shoelaces because they're still holding their crack pipe. Landlords are the vehicle by which the needy gain access to housing in capitalism, they're a symptom and not a disease. Fix capitalism (with socialism) and the symptom will disappear.

doctorcrimson ,

Found the crackhead.

doctorcrimson ,

council housing and housing coops sound a lot like what I said about socialism being the solution, but yeh

doctorcrimson ,

I'm not feeling "torn apart" in the slightest, most reasonable responses have been very much in agreement with me while dissenting views have been mostly ad hominem or baseless accusation.

doctorcrimson ,

Putting nice words in the mouth of the root of most Americans' problems seems kinda cringe.

doctorcrimson ,

YouTube actually doesn't suggest me content at all, anymore. It's telling me watch history is disabled and I have to turn it back on in order to get recommendations. I used to fix this problem with the uBlock Origin's Purge Cache button, but now that's gone too and the new method to do it doesn't seem to work.

So now whenever I go to YT I type in names of a couple creators I follow to see if they've uploaded, and leave the platform afterwards.

doctorcrimson ,

Favorites? You Gen Z are such a disappointment.

doctorcrimson ,

Fighting Religion on its own fixes Extremism as a biproduct and nobody can convince me otherwise.

doctorcrimson ,

No Duh

It's litterally just another Chromium except with Hardware Acceleration capability that Google Chrome lacks. You can't watch real 1080p Netflix on Google Chrome in 90% of desktops.

I experienced true happiness for a moment. Only one moment.

doctorcrimson ,

People are so stupid that a lot of them believe ChatGPT is intelligent.

doctorcrimson ,

I think the average person is not very smart, especially considering the USA, Russia, China, and India are large parts of the world population. Now realize that half of everyone below median intellect is even dumber than that. The fact that propaganda and hype are highly effective to start with is evidence of our lacking capabilities as a species.

doctorcrimson ,

Who are you, wisest of all the greeks?

doctorcrimson ,

Definitely not you.

doctorcrimson ,

Hey bud I've got a hint for you to take, behold the list of people who wanted to have this conversation with your stupid socially inept ass:

...

doctorcrimson ,

I feel like I had to go at least that hard since they continued their bullshit even after the first insulting one liner. Clearly they're too dense to screw off otherwise.

doctorcrimson ,

"Why are we spending so much on data security and oversight?"

"What...? What the fuck are you asking...? Those are integral for our work."

"Can we reduce the need for added security measures by putting a physical layer in place? Like in the old days."

"No? Especially not while everybody works from home, ha ha ha... ha..."

"..."

"..."

doctorcrimson ,

Let's be real, hordeing physical gold is just something elderly people do because of scam advertisements they see on cable TV.

doctorcrimson ,

FR though, I've seen those "BUY GOLD" advertisements on Cable TV aimed at the mentally feeble and elderly, it's really not cool.

doctorcrimson ,

I see you've abandoned your argument to express your mental image of somebody you've never seen or heard before. I accept your resignation, then, happy to help you see the light.
