But again, how is that any different to me, as a Canadian, than an American social media company?

All of that is still true.

All the US companies have kissed the ring and are bowing to facsim.

Western social media still has its own agenda. And it’s not human Rights either.

It defaults to master if your account existed before the change I believe.

At least I had to manually change it.

That’s… Not actually a reasonse to what was said?

Sure, that’s all fine and dandy. But it doesn’t change the point that was being made.

The election happened. Here and now, Russia and China tracking me is no different than the US. They’re all authoritarian governments hell bent on stripping rights away.

Now I’m not the same person you replied to. I’m in Canada, so I’m weary of all of them. But if I was in the states, I’d RATHER give my data to an advisory that won’t do much with it. As apposed to the current government hellbent on making life for me and my trans siblings as hard and difficult as possible.

Yes, but reading the page tells you they’ve gotten google to open-source PebbleOS and highly suggests they’re either going to maintain the open source version, or otherwise fork the code.

Let’s not blame fellow workers for doing what they need to survive. Big tech companies are exploitive by nature, espcially H1B visas are basically indebted servitude at this point.

This is about class, not left vs right.

Would that make it okay if that wild rant was true?

The devil doesn’t need advocates. He’s president.

Most platforms proxy media shared.

Then your proposed workaround is still 1 click more than the reported one.

Yes! That’s a very common use case for VPNs in the corporate world.

So tailscale client, the apps you actually download are open source. What’s not open source is the server side code.

Because the interface of tailscale is publicly known and available, someone went and made an open source server side version compatible with tailscale clients.

What’s tail scale?

It’s an easy to use VPN. I can expose just my server to the vpn and my community can easily gain access.

100% not a cost optimized way to host, but much more about balancing cost vs manual maintenance.

Thanks!

Started my transition 2021 (holy fuck that was a long time ago?!)

There is no right answer, nor does your answer have to stay the same.

There’s a lot of processing that comes with this. I wouldn’t recommend burning photos, but maybe putting them in a box where you no longer remember they exist.

I started wanting to burn it all, but I find myself wanting to show that pretransition me live, rather that disgust now days. It’s still me, it’s still made me who I am, but just like I’m no longer 14 year old me either, I’m no longer that person.

Yeah my goal was wired for this reason.

I’ve worked on Bluetooth as a developer and good lord it needs to burn in a fire.

That question is what brings me here!

I’m thinking of doing a soundbar and subwoofer in the living room, sound bars alone in each bedroom and some bookshelf speakers in other rooms

It misses where apple brought back audio and magsafe

Audio is valid, but apple brought back magesafe.

EDIT my 3 year oldacbook pro has bothagsafe and 3.5mm audio.

Except devices, specifically quoting routers, Do make up bot nets

That’s the specfici malware used on unsecured IoT devices and routers.

I was able to find tons of scholarly articles Like this one

That specifically talk about how many of these devices get comprised.

This isn’t some theoretical attack vector. This is active now.

The risk of taking down large portions of the internet has the same risks as a vacuum? Interesting.

Your right not every device has parts availability. But again, why not? Because it it’ll cost more?

Your willing to risk tanking the digital economy for what has historically been huge sums of money, because we don’t hold vacuum cleaners to higher standards?

I’m being obtuse, but you keep pointing to “well we don’t fix that problem over there, so we shouldn’t do it over here”. It doesn’t sway me. We should absolutely fix repability of ALL ELECRONTICS AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

We do take cars that fail safety inspections off the road. You are correct, we don’t hold them to higher standards, but that’s not a reason why we also shouldn’t remove genuine hazards off the roads.

If a car is far more likely to kill someone, it shouldn’t be on public roads either. Just like devices that can’t be update don’t belong on public nets. The risk to the broader public is to big IMO.
