You can either be a “who” or a “what”, if the movies are made more by "what"s than "who"s they’ll stop being made for "who"s and only "what"s.

There’s something odd about wanting to find enjoyment in something that is less and less… human.

There different reasons for wanting privacy or advocating for for personal data privacy and implimenting strategies to support that.

If ever you are in trouble with the state or make the wrong person on the internet angry, the more you’ve publically shared the easier it will be for them to find something to use against you. So… you can try not to get on anybody’s bad side to limit that possibility or you can do your best to compartmentalize your online activities.

It should be possible to ask for help or show vuneralbility online without telling anybody (or thing) absolutely everything about you every time.

How many years has Russia been bogged down in Ukraine now?

I approve this message!

Misread the post title, thought everybody jumped and left you all alone.

Edit: Monero will never have over 1% inflation again

Inflation on the crypto transaction charges, right?

So how do you get your physical cash into a digital crypto currency without having a bank account to turn your cash into digital cash or a place to hold your crypto currency as cash when you need to buy groceries or something?

(just scrolling around and decided to do a fly by comment)

So, I’m a Yank, but what does the UK have in the way of glass mason jars used for canning? In the US, the larger containers (32oz/64oz) are molded in such a way that there’s measurement markings raised on the outside of the jar.

Any friends/coworkers have older relatives still around? Maybe they’ve got some canning jars with the measurements sitting in boxes in an attic gathering dust?

“Fuck your magic, free Lilo and Stitch”

I shout as I start downloading Lilo and Stitch from a torrent

At this point they get to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.

Spray foam is still legal, so there is no way to gain compensation, and the industry is not regulated – neither the installation nor the removal – so choices are open to abuse by companies supplying these services.”

Homeowners say they were misled by the government, which exempted the insulation from VAT to promote uptake, as well as issuing grants worth up to two thirds of the installation costs. They feel this suggested the insulation was being endorsed.

Sounds like a “well there’s your problem” situation.

Self defense is self defense, would we expect some different behavior from a country being attacked from outside interests with publicly accessible end to end encryption services?

blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries.

Or… you know… at least for Venezuela, the USA constantly fucking around with their elections and politics and local assets using Signal or something. Maybe, I dunno?

Depositing checks is about the only useful thing I’ve seen on my local bank’s app, but that only matters if you do business stuff with people who pay with checks.

Next debate Biden should put some bottle caps on his shoes and occasionally stomp to see what happens.

Turns out my browser script blocker was keeping the full thing from loading. smacks self in forehead

Huh… anybody have a link to the full research paper and not just the pay walled abstract?

There is no Leftist party active in Congress.

So, when you read/hear some USA politician being called “on the left” it should be taken as literally as possible. They are literally standing just to the left of whatever they are being compared to.

So a person who says, “Hey, shouldn’t we all have healthcare that you don’t have to pay out of pocket for?” is to the left of “If you can’t pay, just die.” and will be considered “left”. Even if the person wanting everybody to get healthcare is fully on board with “The Global War On Terrorism.”

Its probably best to view somebody’s opinion/action on an individual issue as being labeled “left” and not the person themself. Even when a person in the USA is describing somebody else in the USA as “of the left.”
