get ready for an influx of users to Lemmy I guess.

May the US soon collapse.

Ok if your point was that woman are not oppressed in public then you proved that very well.

What is going on with all of these people saying CEOs or other employees deserve to live comfortably? The average salary in the US is like $64,000 the median is more like $38,000. What kind of person could possibly do the work of 10 or almost 20 (depending on weather you prefer median or average) regular people? If people should be payed based off how much work they do this is not a reasonable amount.

Of course don’t tare down privacy tools. But they don’t need 700k a year, that’s an unreasonable amount of money that should really be redistributed.

You cannot get into legal trouble for snowflake afaik. Its only a bridge, not an exit node. This means that websites the other person visits will see the exit nodes public ip, not yours.

Running a vpn for snowflake will only slow down the other persons connection without giving you much better security.

If it helps I’ve been running snowflake on my main browser for about a year now with no issues (not saying this is definitive proof for anything though.)

Did you link the right video? How is a walkthrough of the National archive in Iran related to oppressing woman?

Forgive my ignorence if does somehow obviously proove something.

There is no way thats going to happen. There is way too many os’s the govenment can’t control all of them.

Now we can’t have people finding out whats actually happening in Iran can we now?

Oh shit the first domino has fallen.

I just hope this doesnt impact macos until the end of the year, then I will be able to move to linux on my laptop.

Pretty much yeah

For sure. Majority of people will happilly take a selfy and send it to whatever company without a second thought.

Yet another surveilance tool marketed as a cool tech gadget.

Great. So even if I dont use google maps I still get tracked by google. I should really look into getting a custom rom.

I do prefere airplane mode allowing wifi for obvious reasons. I have a samsung and it really does suck how far baked in the spyware is. Is it possible/are there any guides that show me how to make samsung or any other phone not be able to use its spyware?

Is the only way to fix this using a custom rom or postmarketos?

Fun fact! Geo positioning is one off the few things where we need to apply both general and special relativity for real world effects: the effects due to the satellites speed and high distance to earth (and therefore the reduced effect of gravity) cause a significant shift in the speed in which clocks run on those satellites compare to Earth. As we use the exact time to calculate distance and with that position this would cause a huge drift otherwise!

Ok that is really cool!

pretty much yeah.

Hmm maybe not whatsapp or telegram though. One of them is spyware and the other one is spyware and supports one of the (if not the) most evil tech companies in the world.

Why not? If the service is fully decentralized and e2e enceyptwe with metadata included how is this not fully private?

I suppose someone with access to the network could see were the traffic is going to and from, in that case add a trusted vpn + tor. Ok sure it is possible for tor to be tracked and it is possible for a team to hijack your vpn providers servers forecefully and take logs. So technically possible. But even then they will only find who you are talking to, not what you are saying.

But it is also much easier to use countless tracking techiques to locate you, find were you are going and find who you are talking to.

Both of these are very unlikely to happen unless you are being personally targeted by govenment agencies.

There’s simply no incentive in the US from the left side to change anything that I think needs to change and instead has it’s priorities on things that I don’t think will help the underlying issues at all.

Well welcome to US politics I guess.

Also I think things will get better after the AI bubble pops, there will be less AI overhype and AI shoe horning into everything. ram prices will go down, GPU prices will go down and therefore most consumer tech items will also go down.
