What is NAMBLA, dont care to google with your following comment.

I sorta dig Frame™

Hey, man, I’m right there with you. I’m not planning on buying a new car unless I’m 100% confident I can disable or remove all of its networking and spyware services. I’m just stating that it’s stupid that the average American will buy a new car and then say this shit about these cars just because they’re Chinese.

Honestly a Chinese car spying on you probably has less negative impact on your life vs any other brand that does business with American companies, of course assuming you yourself are american and live in America.

Why would I give a fucking shit? Every new car is a piece of shit spy ware device that collects and sells your data. Honestly, I’d rather china have my data than a fucking capitalist company or America. At least china won’t do anything to me, our government is more of a threat to the average American than china is.

ProtonVPN is no log and so is Mullvad I think. Basically it’s mostly reputation, some also pay for outside audits of their systems so they can more effectively boast.

No log vpns probably do cooperate with authorities, but the fact that they are no log means they don’t provide anything. They get a warrant for logs and identification, they comply and send a letter “we have no logs, or way to trace the identity of a user”.

Generally speaking, if you’re paying for a VPN, then you should be paying for a provider that is no log. Free VPNs, you get what you pay for, which is nothing. So you don’t really get any security with that.

You are correct, it is just a privacy respecting meta search engine! I self host my own instance, another thing to love.

4get is wayyyyy better imo, here’s a list of many instances. https://4get.ca/instances (my instance https://4get.lurx.net/)

Edit: because I think it’s funny as well, here is the creator of 4get self made comparison between 4get and searx

The key thing is Linux is free and open source, free as In eat shit and fucking die government fucking pigs.

As the other guy said, double edged sword. Asbestos was fucking great, and is still used for certain things because it’s great. The poor interaction with human biology was the other side of the sword.

An aside, I just pulled a fuck load of vinyl asbestos tile out of a house a year ago and while it wasn’t actually all that dangerous because I took proper precautions it’s sorta scary anyway cause of the poor interaction thing.

Theres evidence they use the very popular tool cursor that many devs and large companies use.

I think there are a good number of people who are trying to deal with the problem, but a significant portion of the ruling class do not want to and have no plans to deal with the problem. So, dealing with the symptoms is the next best thing.

The only way we can deal with the problem is by unplugging all of these people in the ruling class and starting fresh. But that’s not something that is going to happen very easily or maybe at all sadly. Plus, we might just get a batch of fresh shitheads to rule the world.

Not really copium. OP makes a great point. It’s like comparing Xbox sales to the sales of a specific pre-built PC. The pre-built PC could never compete, but all PC sales over a given period likely outnumber Xbox sales significantly.

I don’t own either, and probably never will, but IMO, you are the one who is coping.

I think he was only using it to work on the MacBook, Which, I really don’t think is his daily driver.

True, but I think it would be extremely easy to identify them from the strings of dozens of identical letters still visible on the hat.

They’d come kill you for that.

Having to provide Id to any entity to access internet pages is dystopian and fucked up, sounds just like the UK.

Not that the USA is better at all

This man only cares about increasing Alphabet stock prices to ensure as large a golden parachute as possible on the way out.

This Is literally his legal obligation, welcome to capitalism

Waymo’s are safer than human drivers, prove me wrong.
