The trick that the Government has learned is that it’s easier and cheaper to buy your location data from a third party.

No warrant necessarily since the data is available to anyone who wants to buy it.

Yeah but Epstein’s friends are rich and have ready access to attorneys.

More evidence that our justice system is more about punishing the poor.

If you set up using compose and don’t have the version pinned:

dockee compose down && docker compose pull jellyfin && docker compose up -d

To paraphrase Nixon:

“When you’re a company, it’s not illegal.”

To paraphrase Trump:

“When you’re a company, they just let you do it.”

The debate between Bill Nye and a creationist is so rage inducing. It’s a terrible premise and the fact that Bill even agreed to it gave the creationist credit.

Oh this 100% is the government backdoor that they’ve been begging for. “If you can innovate your way into it, you can innovate a way out of it.”

That was in regards to Apple phones belonging to Boston bombers being encrypted and locked.

It’s no surprise that behind closed doors, the government asked these companies to create backdoors for them to spy on people.

Is that what’s going on? My covenant eyes installation kept crashing.

So glad someone was kind enough to do that! Otherwise I would have had to furiously masturbate.

This is honestly the only reason to buy a gift card especially at Costco. They often sell gift cards for 20% off their face value.

These are all good points but the biggest reason I HATE gift cards is because they offer ZERO protection.

Buy something with a credit card and you often get double warranty protection included. That something gets damaged or stolen? Also protected.

Gift cards offer none of that. Neither does cash but at least I can use cash to pay off the credit card.

I get that a gift card is more personable and it earmarks the funds for a particular store. If you like gift cards, then cheers and go about your merry way.

I’ve emphatically told my loved ones that I never want a gift card. You want me to use the money somewhere specific? Just say so and I’ll do it.

But don’t give me a script that I can only use in one place and might lose.

I know it’s a meme but it’s pretty good.

People just seem to be more paranoid about downloading stuff not already installed on their devices.

I see this as a natural byproduct of Google, Apple, et al. “Walled Garden”

They want you to consume only from them and only what they approve of. Granted Apple is far more on the latter side than Google but even Google fought tooth and nail to keep Epic from having their own store.

I don’t interact much with people who are younger than me but I feel like the age of tinkering might not be as strong with them as it was for me. PCs were the predominant form factor and you could literally take it apart and put it back together with just a screwdriver. You can’t do that with laptops or phones at least not without a lot of other specialized tools. This isn’t their fault either since device manufacturers have really tried to make it difficult to do anything that they don’t control.

Hell chrome is the best example of this. Google, whose business is selling your personal data for ads, is preventing the use of ad blockers. Firefox is mostly developed by Mozilla with a small handful of volunteers. It’s already showing signs of enshittification. We don’t have a viable third option.

It will only be a matter of time before these tech companies start having brain drains due to their own greed.

Part of the problem is that the government is all for this, especially law enforcement.

Iirc the bar is much lower to get a subpoena for data on someone versus getting a warrant for that same person.

This is why privacy is so important. It’s not just ads you need to worry about.

I don’t want to know if this is true or not. Nobody look it up.

And turtle tears!

The America Test Kitchen agrees with you.

Their book goes into extensive detail as to why better and dark brown sugar are important to the recipe.

I thought audacity was purchased by some Venture Capital bros and was being enshittified.

Or am I remembering something else? Didn’t they put some sort of tracker or something in their code, causing a fork?

Pornhub.

They have the technology and many of the features in place.

The biggest issue for me is when neighbors rake their leaves and my leaves blow over to them. I feel terrible about it.

I guess the location of the menu never really bothered me but I can understand that for folks who prefer it on the side.

Admittedly, using a local account is a challenge though not impossible. But to your point none of these things should require registry hacks.
