I don’t think so. It reads to me like, if one day of massive violence from people generally, happened, then after that the police would be given freedom to crack down severely on everything.

“Fear leads to…‘the security of My New Empire’”

Addendum: I re-read the quote and now I feel I can read it either way.

Helium cars! They will be safe!

While a CVSS score of 9.9 indicates critical severity, it’s important to approach the situation with a balanced perspective.

The whole article sounds like somebody asked chatGPT to explain the tweet in more detail.

In this case, “it looks like we received it” sounds like typical AI choosing a response that sounds right with no attention to its meaning.

All the better for smacking you with.

Let the Elites keep their privacy, and the Peasants their pitchforks.

– some revolutionary leader? I dunno

Dunno if you’re joking?

Oyster mushrooms are a type of edible mushroom.

Oysters are indeed shellfish.

Also,

Oyster cards are an RFID travel card in London.

And,

What kind of noise annoys a noisy oyster?
A noisy nose annoys a noisy oyster.

I think its best for us to be thinking both

1. how to live in this world of eroded privacy. Privacy has always been a mixed bag, right from when your neighbour might peek in your cave and tell your aunt what he saw on the wall; part of life is learning how to live best in society as it is. “Give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.” And,
2. how to work to improve things. “And the courage to change the things I can.” Spreading privacy ideas on Lemmy is one part, as is choosing to use private and ethical options, but so is bringing society-benefiting ideals to your workplace, doing advocacy, supporting and developing software for privacy, and so on.

Well, that’s my vacuous philosophical thought for the week. I hope you enjoyed it, and find some wisdom of practical substance somewhere else ;-)

Once upon a time, there was a pipe dream that rolling out encryption to everything would fix the security of the internet.

…Come to think of it, I suppose there was once a dream that putting walls around every city and village would solve banditry, and maybe war.

Leaky keyboards are more than a possibility. Sogou, the biggest one for Chinese typing, got found out a year or so ago for having terrible client-server encryption. They fixed it in an update, but many people didn’t get the update - not to mention it’s still sending every keystroke to Tencent (are the owners I think?) so they could also be saving and analysing private typing anyway.

How are you getting upvotes? People like it but haven’t heard of it? I want to upvote… but by the rules of the thread I have down-voted you.

I really like the non-micro-management mechanism of Globulation 2, though I seem to remember it’s a bit awkward sometimes in how it makes combat work.

And balancing upgrades to not run out of food, I’m not so sure about. I want to upgrade my globs! Always! Then they starve!

The last few times I’ve installed it, though, I always get early segfaults, usually before I can finish a game. Hope it can get some dev love.

Yes! Great fun game. Crashes for me every so often in Windows now, which is a pain especially for skirmishes because you can’t save. Have installed in Linux now but haven’t tested much - maybe it’ll work better!

I always loved the combot customisation aspect, but it seems my favourite load-out and team has changed since I played so many years ago, back when one borrowed a friend’s CD.

A fellow Trinitarian Tabber!

Has it not? I saw one come a week or so ago.

But over in the phone world:

Android phone :: two years old? We don’t do updates any more. Buy a new phone.

Google/Samsung :: if you buy our expensive range, we can do five years of updates. Isn’t that great!

iPhone SE 1st gen :: still going strong with updates after 8 years.

Quite so!

I’ve discovered on Lineage that even denying an app internet permission, the app can apparently know when the device is online. That also shouldn’t be possible, I think.

Best I can do is Darth Maul

I’m sorry to hear that, that’s really hard. Accept an internet hug from us friendly strangers on Lemmy!

If you’re not too averse to Christian stuff, I highly and personally recommend https://www.themarriagecourse.org/

It won’t probably help directly with coping with the MS, but can be really great for helping a lot of other areas of marriage, including your struggles with intimacy save romance. I recommend going in person if there’s one near enough.

Something like that can be great to do whether your marriage is on the rocks or going beautifully smoothly. - That might help your wife get over the sort of looming threat of “mental help for her”.

Anyway I’d second the advice of others that therapy can help. Don’t be afraid of finding you’re not suited for each other: Good marriage counselling is not just about “finding happiness with your own decision,” as another has said. Good marriage counselling helps you understand and rediscover each other and yourselves, giving you the best chance of (re)building relationship and new love with each other.

I can’t promise a cure-all solution, but I hope it can help.
