“Crypto” is such a vague term it’s almost comical to imply it’s private. Sure there are ways to use crypto privately, but it takes a lot of steps.

Some people really don’t grasp the concept of the trolley problem.

A train is headed towards 5 people, you can pull a lever and switch tracks to kill 1 person. What do you do?

Naïve/entitled people fail to grasp the concept of compromise.

Jokes on them, my phones stupid fingerprint reader only works about 3% of the time. They’ll get frustrated and give up before finding anything, I know I usually do.

New OS is a waste of resources, but it would be great to see them embrace something like GrapheneOS

That’s… That’s the… Well nevermind…

Remember kids, everything is a data mining trap. Be sure to submit your resume with zero PII, and at least 1024-bit encryption.

Height selection on metric side has jumps of up to 3 centimeters lmao.

Too lazy to look, but given 1 inch = 2.54 cm, my guess is the tool is written in inches, and just rounds those values to the nearest whole cm, thus alternating between 2 & 3 cm increments.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

But that’s not a burner phone, that’s an off phone.

burner goes from your house, to abortion clinic, to your office, back to your house

Hmm, must be someone else, I don’t recognize this number

Thanks, seitan.

You do you, but I will say uBO can block all of those things, it just doesn’t do it all out of the box.

You have to subscribe to the right blocklists, or manually remove elements you don’t want from sites you visit frequently.

ABP offers you the convenience of not having to manually tinker with everything, which is what money is supposed to be used for - convenience.

I love where I live, but my biggest miss on moving was leaving my fiber network behind and moving to Cox monopoly territory.

Because my ISP charges $50/mo extra for the “privilege” of having unlimited data.

Similar, but lighting system as a sleep tool. Lights start off warm white and slowly dim to amber / red, then off at the push of a button every night.

But not those extensions…

How’s about a patent that expires 5 years after its first use by a billion+ dollar company? 5 years after it is used in more than 10,000 products? 5 years after its licensing has yielded over $1M in profit? 5 years after spending over $100k on advertising? 5 years after your first major court settlement?

I think there are ways to protect individual innovators but also lessen patent abuse

It’s a poor analogy, but imagine a public IP like a hotel, there can be lots of guests (clients) at this hotel. Hotel policy is they won’t let any outsiders in unless you know the room number (port) of the person you’re trying to reach.

Imagine you and a friend are staying in separate hotels and want to give each other copies of your favorite Linux .ISOs, but neither of you knows the other’s room number - you show up at the hotel and the front desk tells you to pound sand because you don’t have their room number.

As long as one of you knows the other’s room number though, you can meet.

Torrenting without port forwarding means you can only trade your favorite .ISOs with people who have port forwarding enabled (sharing their room number to the tracker), which makes you less effective of a seeder. Enabling port forwarding allows you to share with anyone (sharing your room number with the tracker).

All of the banks I’ve used in the past utilize email or SMS for 2FA, which isn’t the must secure, but doesn’t require an app.
