Fuck this country. Fuck the government. Fuck Israel. Fuck everyone who stands for cruelty. Justice for Palestine. Free Palestine. Fuck the false leaders.

Well, what the fuck are people still doing traveling to America? It’s no longer a lesser evil. There is more risk of death and disappearance for a non-cishet/non-pale person on the doorstep of America than fucking Dubai

That’s weird, I can still access all my main sites on the surface with no VPN. One site’s mirror hasn’t even changed domain. I still haven’t seen any proof of these attacks on the legal side

Took me a while to find this, sorry, but here is a bias fact check for Sky and for Sky Australia

A classic glitch, the foot must be caught in the texture

Yeah, I didn’t heed a user’s warning and decided to check out a link to a site I won’t name. Scary stuff, it’s 4chan-esque and they have a dedicated channel for finding and attacking/doxxing people. 9 in 10 messages have an unnecessary slur, as if they’re all ten years old

Which is wild because they shut down Google Glass in the UK because of the ability to photograph and record people without their knowledge. Preemptive bans by establishments, government and the public were followed by Google giving up on the consumer base after a couple months. Privacy and decency is no longer part of this world, it seems.

I remember when privacy requests were requests, asking if you’re 13 or older due to local laws. Now they demand that you must be 13 or older because they will be harvesting from you, otherwise ‘get lost and stop using the service’.

Thank you!! I didn’t even consider RPi, and I’ll look into LineageOS TV

You I can’t open the app without giving full access, and the only reason I use it is it’s the only way to have a personalised album on the Chromecast. I’m in the progress of degoogling, a Roku hopefully has ethical options

I’ve only seen that word used in hate groups, weird to see someone using ‘trans gooner’ in a non-cruel context

I feel the same about companies like Anker’s audio branch Soundcore using Kickstarter to prefund/advertise their new tech - safe to say their ‘projects’ are funded about 20,000%

They’re taking it too seriously lol

Cats ate his face

Fucking terrorists

It’s 2025. Fascism and authoritarianism is on the rise in my country, leading my likeliness to become part of a localised resistance army, or a ‘terrorist’, to rise to 40%. Being a trans woman, I’m probably already considered a terrorist by some people.

I agree that ads can help people be aware of a product’s existence, but I believe, especially at this stage when I am tired of being spoonfed, that a more organic way is preferable. For example - forums, product reviews (REAL ones ofc), product storefronts including online marketplaces…

When someone needs something, they can go looking for it. A door that grates on a frame for example, may be talked about on a forum, which discusses the products others have found to help. In this case a mouse(shaped) sander. The person can then follow breadcrumbs to the most convenient store that sells it.

This is actually the way I find most things I need. The vast majority of products shown to me, passively on various items in the streets or in video format, are useless to me. Regarding VPNs, I first learned about them when I looked for a solution to a website article having an error page stating that it cannot be viewed in my country. Again when I pirated movies. Eventually I saw Mullvad mentioned on Reddit, when I entered more FOSS and Linux spaces

Here’s the thing. The reason ads are bad is because almost every single one is for a product that will exploit the user. Mullvad is a product that does the opposite. They ask for money, but don’t force it. They intend to give power of the user’s life back to the user. Thus, some ads are actually okay. Ads about VPNs, self hosted systems, anti-corporate anticapitalist services, software that is for you to use and only ever takes telemetry for software improvement, and then only if you consent first.

Hell, before this garbage, on TV the only ads were products and charities, and everybody grew really sick of the African child ads because its sole purpose was to exploit the viewer’s empathy and get their money. Same with now, except if it’s not money they want it’s data, and data is money to them.

Trump believes he, as leader of America, speaks for all 201 countries that aren’t directly part of the war between Israel and Iran, quote: “upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World.” VP Vance claims he knows more about Iran’s current nuclear situation than anyone else, quote: “Iran is incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they have because we destroyed it.”

I cannot stress enough that I want the US government to fuck off and never interfere with other countries’ matters that don’t concern them, and to stop acting as the world police. The US is somehow becoming more delusional.

Welcome to modern telemetry. All this proves is MacOS is no different. Linux is the only safe haven, and even then - only if the user is careful about the programs they install.
