Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, fam.

That's pretty cool of you to show up to the conversation in good faith tbh.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

I'M LATE FOR... (checks itinerary) WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT

Slack says "Shit, we didn't think anyone would notice. Okay fine."

See, this is why we self-host.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Which costs extra, of course

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Those questions/claims are really interesting as like... A way to teach children how to think about scale and approximation and stuff.

Adults holding those beliefs both a) sincerely and b) defensively though... Less cute.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

But I thought you needed to reach your friend?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Hack with benefits!

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Lol you just saw "stranded preposition" and bailed, hey?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

unexpectedinterrobang

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Yeah lol I'm familiar with "kill child" in a process management context, but I've never seen the word "sacrifice" come up. Is that a thing?

Kernel Panic at the /dev/disk/0

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Idk, if you don't get too flummoxed by "stranded preposition" and "relative locus," the rest is pretty plain IMO.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Nice. Imagine the lady in the post's face when she learns that "oom badness" is how they decide which child to sacrifice.

What's that from?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Not sure if pleased or screaming 🤔

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Is it really less secure than a password? How so?

This meme is about net neutrality.

Flummoxed!

TikTok is a massively powerful tool of influence and intelligence, in the hands of an adversary that is well understood to proactively meddle with democratic elections.

Yes, obviously the CCP will unabashedly pursue other interference vectors. That should be viewed as more reason to curtail TikTok, not less.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

I mean do you think Fortnite has anywhere near the same level of ability to disseminate information or surveil people as TikTok does?

And actually it makes a material difference that ByteDance is based in Beijing, as opposed to just having Chinese investors. Those social platforms, movie studios, etc., being headquartered in the US is exactly what makes it different. Can Chinese firms apply financial pressure to compel them to act against the interests of US citizens? Yes, of course, and they do.

But that's categorically different than being legally obligated to comply with the CCP, which ByteDance is.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Thanks just checking.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Does old.reddit.com still work to get around it?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Big yike 😬 Anyone find a decent way around THAT yet? How do they even know that you're on a VPN? Is it like... they maintain a list of known VPN exit node IPs?

Safest way of using WeChat on Android?

I live in Canada. My girlfriend is Chinese (also living in Canada), and while we are able to communicate via SMS, her mobile carrier isn't the best, and so there have often been issues for us with regular texting. She expressed a strong preference to use WeChat, at least as a backup option for when texting fails us. While I...

thanks_shakey_snake ,

FWIW, WeChat and 微信 are different apps. With a non-Chinese phone number and Google Play Store download, you'll be using the international one (WeChat) instead of the Chinese one (微信). There are still privacy concerns, but it'll be less invasive than what you'd have with the version that people in China are buying their groceries with and stuff.

I'm sorry I don't have advice for how to actually protect yourself, though... I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see what I can learn.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Damn that's wholesome.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Yeah, I'm wondering about how they characterize "bot activity." It seems like "any traffic not proximally related to a user's synchronous activity" is a little too broad.

I'm not sure if fediverse syncing is bot activity. Or my laptop checking for software updates while I'm sleeping. Or my autopay transactions for utility bills.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

But they tried so hard...

thanks_shakey_snake ,

I admire your optimism. I don't share it, but I admire it.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Me too! I thought it was gonna be fake, or if not, they'd have fixed it already or something, but NOPE! Still works exactly as described.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Worked for me just now. What did it say when you did it?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

thanks_shakey_snake ,

I knew what this was going to be before I clicked.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Shorter stilettos for computing are an option too, but that's really more of a last resort.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Wow that article is a trip. Atomic priesthood and raycats.

Blender tutorial when

thanks_shakey_snake ,

I see what you did there and I'm on board 👌

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Your work ethic had better be "I've worked continuously for my whole adult life" or else you got some splainin to do.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Bit of light treason.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Can someone OOTL this one for me?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

"Accidentally" is exactly how ingesting misinformation happens.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

What led you to start opening up and changing your mind?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Never apologize for contributing OC.

☝️ That's pretty bad advice, but your contribution is appreciated all the same.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

You seem pretty confident, so I'm gonna go ahead and internalize it as factual.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

EXCEPTIONS? ETERNALLY NONE!
