Huh, I guess that's the same nutomic? Didn't know that.

Yeah well if you think you're too smart to be influenced by propaganda, you're wrong. Especially in the age where it's not big posters anymore but subtle word choices and bots

lmao I still can't believe liberals aren't a parody of themselves.

Do nothing for 2 years and don't say anything too spicy, that's how you fight fascism!

Or, hear me out, let's not waste time developing useless and harmful surveillance technology.

None of this is required to safeguard children, and it does a bad job in its attempt - while doing a great job of scanning every user's face and documents.

Parents should be responsible, educated and empowered with tools to control their kids' activities online. Networks and mobile devices can relatively easily be configured to restrict and monitor activity, especially for young children where you might want to choose what to allow, rather than to block. There will be ways around them, but if that 1% is motivated enough and knows they shouldn't, I think that's fine.

Zap the overlay with uBlock

But yeah fuck the author and everyone else using the "pay or be tracked" scheme. If you want to show ads to non subscribers, fine. But there's no reason to require tracking users to do so - if non-tracked ads are less profitable, take it up with the ad networks.

all her 14 to 15-year-old friends have been age verified as 18 by Snapchat

I love how this sentence is just casually sprinkled there. So platforms are getting $50m fines if they do not implement "age verification", but no problem if they fail to identify minors as such? Tells you everything about how they really care about protecting children.

Yeah that's called hate

Ignorance and racism are not the same thing. There's overlap, but even if it can be hurtful, ignorance is not malicious.

Just installed, looks pretty nice and works well in my limited testing. I like that you can follow one creator and see their YouTube, Nebula, and Patreon videos in one place

 

I was checking my Pi-Hole and noticed a lone spike of 700+ requests coming from my phone (Android 16) this morning. Upon checking the logs, it's all bogus domains corresponding to package names of apps I have previously installed via the Play Store, but never on this phone.

Going further back in the query log, I realized it also includes the package name of an app I developed years ago but never published on the store, nor on this phone. There's also a whole bunch of my browsing history apparently, domains I haven't visited in years - from the age of some of them I'm pretty sure it's Chrome history, as I only used Firefox sync for a brief period and my local history is <1y.

What the actual fuck? This is a Nothing Phone 3a, updated to Android 16 just a couple of days ago.

 
 

Found this while surfing the webz, thought you might it as interesting and amusing as I did. Hopefully it's not too OT.

It's a mix of piracy history, code golfing, free speech activism, art, digital community, and general ingenuity that ends up being a critique of digital copyright under the DMCA. Also found the quote at the end of the table to be sadly still very relevant.

As long as I am mayor of this city [Jersey City, New Jersey] the great industries are secure. We hear about constitutional rights, free speech and the free press. Every time I hear these words I say to myself, That man is a Red, that man is a Communist. You never hear a real American talk like that. -- Frank "I am the law" Hague (1896-1956)
