sometime i even turn of mic and cam acsess on my phone

I have some bad news for you. Whatever software switch your phone has to “turn off” the mic, can still be bypassed by either the manufacturer or an attacker that gets root control of the device.

The only way to ensure a mic isn’t listening is by either unsoldering it or shorting the + and - contacts. I mean in the case of a phone you can probably do the toothpick thing and then test it and repeat until sound actually quiets, but note that phones can actually listen to you by via the accelerometer :/

As much as I like Librewolf as concept and ideology, I can’t keep thinking that if there’s a Firefox 0day, Firefox gets patched first, Librewolf later, and I’m potentially exposed for longer. That’s why I prefer to stick with upstream.

Interesting, but this technology seems really scary, imagine being interrogated with a machine that translates thoughts into words, now try not to think of a sandwich.

The Hubble still works?

That’s nice, I thought I read an article some years ago that it was going to be decommissioned.

Oh well. I’m just glad I can access all my files on NTFS

Shhh! Don’t give them ideas…

You’re responsible for the technology you create.

So if I create a knife I’m responsible if someone uses it for murder?

Maybe I should implement a camera on the knife that records your kitchen 24/7 to make sure the knife wont be used for murder, is that OK with you?

Unionize workers in Microsoft.

If you “unionize” microsoft and keep windows non-free software, the employees get better wages, apart from that the users still get spied upon, and the means of production (windows source code) still under ownership of a small group of people, (and just like any other operating system or knife, can) still used for nefarious purposes.

Even if the workers at the microsoft commune decide to made windows non-spyware anymore, there is still no way to actually be sure since there’s no way to verify it.

Also, proprietary software isn’t only a prime example of private ownership of the means of production, but also a prime example of artificial scarcity.

As long as it’s “Free Software” instead of “Free people” you’re playing on the side of the tech oligarchy.

Free software is a requirement for free people, if you don’t understand that, then you really have no understanding of how technology works, of how people work and how freedom works.

I recommend reading the following article: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html

I personally would throw the dishwasher away, and before that, permanently damage it to make sure no poor soul picks it up from the trash thinking they scored a free dishwasher without knowing it was once used to wash literal shit.

I would never be able to ever eat anything from any dish every washed on that machine, but again, that’s me and my personal emotional reaction to it. I understand that if it reaches 90C it technically kills all bacteria or something. But I would still refuse.

For that same reason I never buy used kitchen utensils, because I have no way to know what has be used for before.

Isn’t that true for most models until someone destiles and quantises them so they can run on common hardware?

Your OS doesn’t, put the messaging apps that your friends/family/coworkers use do.

And no, you can’t convince them to switch messager, I tried.

OMG! I’ve been looking for something like this for quite some time!

I will try this as soon as I have time. Thank you!

Idk what year that pic was taken, but 2GB of ram is useless no matter what operating system you put on it.

Except ofc for a home nas, but as a desktop, the user is going to open Firefox, try to open a website, it will take minutes to load and the user just wasted $20

Just an anecdote, but every time I try to create an account on Instagram I get automatically banned after account creation before even login-in for the first time.

If I recal they then ask me for a copy of my ID to confirm my name is real (which it isn’t).

I have no idea how they know, I’ve tried literally with different residential IPs, different emails and even on brand new devices. On my Instagram user friend’s house.

Maybe it’s just bad good luck, who knows. In don’t need Instagram anyway, just an interesting fact.

It can be pseudoanonymous if you use it that way. If you login to it via tor for example and only use it to communicate to people who aren’t related to your IRL identity.

Besides cash and mail is still much easier to track than Monero
