Don’t go worrying about that citizen, just keep using the now US run data collection honeypot. This will be another state run media platform, and will only embolden Miller and company when they desire to take over Facebook and/or Twitter as well.

Edit - Ugh missed a word.

The having to do something is the cost, because they have a perfectly good messaging app already, “why can’t you just use that?”

And that cost is more on Apple’s platform because Apple has been designing it that way since the beginning. It’s the whole reason android users got a different color bubble, not because they had to, but it was a way to identify the person that wasn’t using an iPhone and make them stand out. Making it almost unimaginable to switch to Android for youth who care so much about not being “out” of the group.

And Google has identified this, and put a lot of cringe-worthy effort into addressing it at their Pixel event this time around.

Well pre-RCS they routed android users differently because they were not compatible. Google did something similar, but in reverse, adding back things like reactions, etc. to make android users not feel like they were getting a 2nd rate experience.

Companies like Apple spent a lot to create a switching cost in almost every product. The “bubble” color is also a HUGE thing in the US, and is often times the sole reason for not wanting to leave iMessage.

I feel like at least with American english people have taken a lot of liberties in how they spell a name and then want it pronounced.

And I first read it as Ra-sh, but also could see it as Ray-sh.

What did you do to “teach it”?

Pedo/predators given access to a new AI tool to allow them to make videos for children, what could go wrong? /s

Maybe it’s just a US thing, but calling orange juice just OJ is very common.

Some chemicals that may be linked to autism, but they are rolling back regulations that are linked to all sorts of things worse. And with the amount of time it takes to put any of this regulation in place it’ll be decades just to reverse it all, but the world will be a much more toxic place by then when coupled with his attacks on the climate also.

Which is wild when they are working on a new very ambitious game right now.

Edit - Light No Fire

Why do they always respond by shooting a disproportionately obscene ballistic at things like this camera, instead of just disabling/taking the camera? The target is at a hospital, why are they shooting at a single camera with a tank? And two shells?? For a camera?

I know why, but could some country that gives at least 1 fuck just put troops at the hospitals/aid camps? Offer to run security at these facilities and let the IDF worry about finding Hamas, instead of scary cameras.

I’d love to see our troops do that rather than harassing houseless individuals, or just walking around like Stormtroopers. I know it’s a pipe dream anyone does anything though. 😩

Never heard of them, and their site doesn’t leave me filled with confidence. They make a big deal about using a slower algorithm, call it zero trust, but also have a client that mounts your “drive” local seamlessly. In order to do that though your files need to be unencrypted before your OS can read them. So the client needs to be constantly encrypting and decrypting your files since it hypothetically has zero knowledge of your files at rest on their server.

I could see files getting scrambled/corrupted when it’s being uploaded and downloaded in rapid succession.

Edit - You also shouldn’t consider it a backup if you’re accessing the files constantly like Dropbox. You are essentially just paying for a mountable S3 drive, not a backup.

"Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.” That was the message from Microsoft employee Jerry Nixon, a developer evangelist speaking at the company’s Ignite conference…

Seems like Microsoft was destined to create another XP issue from the start of Windows 10 (2015).

I think with the right going hard right since 2016, in order to get access to any of the high level right-wing talking heads you have to be “loyal”. The second you are not Trump/MAGA will turn on you.They also make money hand over fist selling FUD that is much harder when just presenting facts.

Depends on what you’re doing with it. If it’s just for normal privacy you could just get a vps and install any of the wireguard packages. If you’re using it to evade copyright enforcement (or something similar) I don’t have an answer for that, but a VPN with your name attached is no longer a good idea probably.

It probably just asks Grok in the background using the full “you are MechHilter” prompt.

I just fake it … forever (there is no “make it”). I watch and try and adapt, and try and limit my interaction with people that are not people I don’t feel like I can blend with, like social camouflage.

Most important, and why I hit the reply to begin with is, you are not alone! Not sure where you live, but I’m the US (at least for now) HR or whoever can’t legally put your medical/mental health info on full blast to everyone you work with.

You could already do this for years through the “Files” app, just select the file/files and under the 3 dots “send to safe folder”. And it gets encrypted with a key on your device and if it corrupts or you try to open them on a new phone they wipe and are gone forever.

Google Safe Folder

Campaigns like this have always been effective. And this is what the Right does, they complain en masse about everything that offends their hypocritical views. They are the ones that believe 110% in “cancel culture”, and then turn around and call the Left out when we block Nazis.

Also, MC and Visa are well within their rights to tell groups like this to go pound rocks, but groups like this also know if they grind down resources they usually win. The only way to prevent it is to ban the protesting of corporations, but then when they do the bad shit they love to do we’ll be without any recourse. It’s a bit of a double-edge sword.

So the part that I see repeatedly missed is that a “no porn think of the children” group out of AUS has been hammering these payment processors as part of a new campaign. It’s not something Visa, or MasterCard just decided to take the “high ground” on, they have been hounded.

So really if everyone wants erotic games back on Steam and other things affected by this group someone is going to need to create a counter campaign.

Yeah, nothing screams shady or coverup looking like sending your previous personal attorney to “interrogate” the one person that could implicate or exonerate you. And then feed her 100 names (of likely political rivals) and continue to publicly float the idea that you have the power to pardon them, “just because”.

Edit - IANAL but I feel like the tactic is to make it impossible to use any further “testimony” from her after knowingly sending Trump’s personal lawyer to feed her names. He’s made it so now, no matter what she says, neither side will believe she is saying it of her own free will. The only way to believe anything she says would be to find it in her or Epstein’s previous testimony.
