They definitely can track you just based on your RF profile a lot of big stores have these orb things that aggregate everything… Bluetooth, Cellular, WiFi signals and can track you wherever you go in the store along with video, at which point you buy alcohol and a computer scans your ID or you use a credit card and bam you are fucked. ID barcodes also include your address. It’s also the easiest one to fake.

At home I leave it down, of I’m at a dive bar or something I leave the seat up so the next guy won’t piss all over the seat. That benefits everyone.

I just mentioned some positive facts about Obama on lemmy.ml memes and I got called a Nazi and banned. We got flavors of liberals who hate each other when we need to be working together. It was really strange being called a liberal Nazi.

If we get hung up on every small thing we are never gonna be happy at some point you have to recognize that people have different points of view we can’t be alienating people who are on the same team…

Oh it has internet time sync. But the problem is… connecting to wifi with invalid time is problematic. There are internet check endpoints with certificates that can’t be verified. On the off chance that it does connect, I get a zillion certificate errors from different background processes.

Honestly, it doesn’t cost much more than fridge without a screen. I was trying to buy an LG with the window that you can knock on to see inside (not screen) but it was out of stock… and ended up with one of these fridges. The software is stupid though, I use it to play music sometimes when I’m cooking. It has some menu options for controlling the fridge too. I would love to load up custom ROM though… What annoys me the most is lack of RTC battery, because the time resets whenever there’s a power outage.

They’re completely opt-in for server admins and use publicly available information to ban users seen logged into “condos” which are sexually explicit and used to groom children. It’s a system called Ro-Cleaner (among others) that allow moderators to blanket ban these people.

The fact is that Discord and Roblox aren’t doing anything to prevent this activity despite being responsible for facilitating it (condos are published on private Discord servers). When people report these servers or the condos they refuse to do anything meaningful.

I haven’t actually seen any evidence of doxxing/harassment. The system does not collect information other than usernames and the activities of those users in Roblox, both of which are publicly available. I would be interested in hearing whatever information you may have on this.

I thought it was funny when it came out, but it hasn’t aged well at all. Very cringey and stereotypical, with a slight tinge of homophobia.

Discord has been taking down free bot systems that people have created to cross check user history and keep them away from minors by banning them from all servers that subscribe to the service. It was entirely opt in and discord obviously doesn’t care that people are groomed they are in fact facilitating in and blocking any organized efforts to stop predators.

Microsoft has policy that prevents it from retaliatory actions against human rights violations. Court should rule Microsoft violated its own policies…

I’m thankful they’re getting some relief. I don’t understand why anyone thinks trans bans are good. It’s more likely trans youth would die from medical issues and having their literal identity stripped away. We simply don’t have the bandwidth to decide all factors of people’s lives. We have to let people choose for themselves, for better or for worse. The best thing we can do is give them all the facts so moreso than not people are making informed choices.

The whole point of judiciary is to resolve damages and it’s actually really important that they can issue orders quickly to prevent “irreversible damages”, courts use injunctions all the time even before coming to any kind of decision in order to give time for due process to happen. Especially when there is possibility of harm coming to an individual.

I was holding hope for the US Marshalls taking action without the AG calling on them based on what they represent, but they have been helping the Trump with his illegal takeovers of DOGE even assisting with breaking and entering… So it’s probably unlikely they will do anything to assist with reigning in the president.

I stopped using gnome after they removed the ability to edit the menu without going through a bunch of hoops. Their idea of removing complexity involved removing choice and customization. KDE has had superior multi monitor support for a long time.

Tennessee just needs to stop embarrassing itself and stay out of the political game.

It’s still hard to find PCIe 4 stuff lol

Technically all certificates are pinned, especially with public CAs, most OS package the latest CA certs which will all go out of style within 10 years or so. You can see this by loading up any old distro or defunct version of windows.

I’d still be using Ubuntu sometimes if it weren’t for the snaps thing. They only make sense for proprietary software… but snaps still suck. I don’t like packaged software. They contain all kinds of things that can’t be updated. The app store was getting better before all that changed. Now Debian seems better, but I still prefer source based distros like Gentoo because the ingredients come with recipes.

Support matrix!! It already has international support, just needs to be a bit better with stickers and qol stuff. I’ve been using it for years. It’s nice to know I don’t have to worry about my privacy at all with chat rooms that can continue on without the original server.

It’s not actually possible to return one of these cyber trucks due to rules involving sale after purchase.

I added whisper and have never looked back. Sometimes it’s not exactly right but it’s usually obvious and funny 🤣
