While it was an interesting read, the article is quite outdated and the author is overly negative of literally everything, not just privacy. If a browser has a glowy button, it’s horrible because it’s too fancy… I feel for the guy…

I tried using it. Putting my phone down on any surface would trigger it. Made my biometrics completely useless. Too sensitive on my device, even on the lowest settings :(

My Instagram is full of fitness content (and good looking people tbh). Nothing comes even remotely close on pixelfed. No offence to federated social media, but we all ain’t good looking :) (or suck at using filters…)

It’s still a very long way off from taking over Instagram.

Being overly Paranoia? Can’t think of another valid reason.

I use Linux and windows. Windows is so much simpler for 99% of ppl that grew up with it.

I love your optimism. But if even a single digit percentage of them migrates to Linux, that would be mind boggling.

Depending on your local postal laws and how willing your postman is, it would either get delivered, and the delivery address gets asked to pay, or it would not get delivered. Or it would get delivered, with just a little complaint note attached.

I’d argue the risk of non delivery is probably relatively high in most countries.

Place where I live has super good postal delivery. My workplace gets quite a lot of post. They deliver it with a little note to inform you postal fees should be paid.

I use a seedbox abroad and secure ssh to transfer stuff to my own server. Don’t see what additional security a vpn would give me.

The revanced version of tiktok also allows you to download videos iirc.

Ah, true. My bad.

You do you mate.

Several months and the 8 minutes probably lead to confusion. You haven’t my answer yet. Why do you speak like an orc in third person?

Why do you write like an orc? Is there an rpg reason for this? Or is this something personal I am totally missing?

“I” is gender neutral no?

As for your actual question, steam is insanely flexible with refunds, but you’re pushing it with a request 7.5months after the generous 14days.

Gog support sucks tbh. Steam refunds everything no questions asked. Bought elden ring on gog, wrong region, couldn’t activate it back home. They told me to suck it. Fuck gog

Fair enough. I’m raising my kids in a similar fashion. I dislike the sexual repression in the west (from which I unconsciously still suffer). But I’m still worried about other boys :)

Until your daughter comes home with a boyfriend with a fucked up sense of what sex is and ruins her day/week/month/year/life.

I’m certainly not pro government tracking anything I do, let alone porn watching, but if I see how my own kids get exposed to it through friends. No matter how much I try to educate them, friends still show them absolute vile stuff…

What’s the last time you met a gatherer doing it as a profession and not a hobby?

Hunters are a little bit more common, but still, full time food hunters are rare.

Prostitutes on the other hand.

So as a simple saying used in a daily life, I can kinda see why it’s used :)

I wanted to vote for them, I did so last time, but they didn’t appear on the ballot in my country this time. Couldn’t vote for them…

Yes, I read it. Outside reputable company found no wrong doing. LTT released a statement. By mentioning the lawsuit, they also shut down speculation that they have a weak position.

OP of that post projects their own horrible experience onto LTT. They add nothing at all to the situation, they don’t offer any new proof whatsoever. Fuck that tbh. I feel sorry for their personal experience, but this has nothing to do with whole Madison story.

When the Madison story came out, I unsubbed from LTT. Always believe the victim. But then more and more info came out that cast quite some doubt on the veracity of the whole story.

Now it sounds more like an employee that had an (maybe very much so for them) unpleasant experience at a company and lashed out. Turns out the work company wasn’t as bad as she made it out to look. Shit happens.

You did see the report they released right? Outside consultant coming to the conclusion no egregious things happened? I’d give them the benefit of the doubt at this point tbh.
