  • Thank you so much. I already made it my profile Pic in Signal (Molly)

    Edit: and now Lemmy too.

  • I don't think anyone's actually dumb enough to do that

    Never underestimate human stupidity.

  • A power utility is reporting suspected pot growers to cops. EFF says that’s illegal.

  • You seem to know a lot about we..., I mean, electricity. Tell us more 🤣🤣

    By the way, I'm just joking, as these companies are just getting more dystopian by the second.

  • Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC

    Jump

  • It's not a bug, it's a feature we don't like 🤣

  • Nintendo can disable your Switch 2 for piracy in the U.S., but not in Europe, as confirmed by its EULA

    Jump

  • People like that are the reason these fucking corporations are so entitled. The problem is not governments or legislations, the problem is us.

    Until we decide that we will not finance companies that pull bullshit like this, no amount of legislation will make them stop.

  • Watching Youtube with VPN on

  • SmartTube on TV and Newpipe on mobile, always VPNd.

    Jump

  • I am seriously digging this one. Pretty self-explanatory, spot on in my opinion.

    Do you mind if I use it for my profile Pic?

  • Started Degoogling last Sunday

    Jump

  • Congratulations. Only moving away from Google entirely took me 3+ years. You really killed this fast.

  • Distro advice for a specific case.

    Jump

  • Agreed, for this you'll want something more "Fedora-ish".

  • Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance

    Jump

  • This is highly unlikely to be able to notify you of someone ringing the door. It's doable, but takes some tinkering which most people are not able to do because of all the reasons mentioned in previous comments.

  • Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance

    Jump

  • That's right. But how detrimental asbestos is took time to be made abundantly clear and known, plus "authorities" got involved, so the sheep listened. With surveillance, the same "authorities" want the public to be ignorant so that they can keep it going without us countering it.

    Similar situations, but certainly not equal.

  • Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance

    Jump

  • This is the right approach. Normies won't pay attention to any "your privacy is at risk" argument. But showing them examples (plural, as 1 instance won't do shit either and will just be dismissed) of people getting fucked by all the surveillance COULD make some of them take it into consideration (no guarantees).

    I do not agree that people that allow these devices into their homes are idiots. I see them more as "ignorantly lazy".

  • Microsoft buys more than a billion dollars’ worth of excrement, including human poop, to clean up its AI mess — company will pump waste underground to offset AI carbon emissions

  • I've been calling them that for years 🤣🤣🤣

  • Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse

    Jump

  • In all honesty, I have no idea. I didn't give the stock firmware enough time on my phone to check on anything other than the amount of tracking and the move to the system partition.

    As for the reason for putting them in this partition, I'm sold on the idea that it's to keep the levels of invasion as high as possible while removing the user's options to get rid of them.

  • Like clockwork, Peacock is raising subscription prices again

  • In my case, Streamio and... Wait, no, just Streamio 😝

  • Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse

    Jump

  • I had to use MS Authenticator for work and it worked in GOS, notifications and all. Now, that was about a year ago, and I haven't tried it since. At the speed GAFAM are enshitifying everything, there's a chance it doesn't work anymore. I keep a Pixel 8a stock for banking and some other apps that I need (such as EV charging networks) and won't work or are unsustainably wonky on GOS. As I mentioned in another post, RethinkDNS is worth it, but it does take some trial and error to get it to work without breaking stuff I need, but once I got there, it was all good (that's how I keep the 8a less intrusive).

  • China's Robotaxi Companies Are Racing Ahead of Tesla

    Jump

  • 690 million women in China, let's say 30% are in age to give birth, that's 207 million. If only 50% of those actually give birth in the next 5 years, that's a whooping 47.6 million kids per year.

    Yeah, that population will climb, just not overnight.

  • May I suggest you give RethinkDNS a shot? At first it's kind of convoluted to configure, but once you have it set up the way you want, it's smooth sailing from there.
