Btw, I think a great thing would be tariffs, or more taxes on private data. Make companies pay for hoarding them and for exporting them into other countries. Maybe not in every case, but if it’s not just processed directly for the user themselves.

Thx, that’s helpful.

Can you give us some more information on what’s false?

In doubt, their customer support is the first “authority” to contact.

Is memory that small, connected externally, or does that SoC just end up being a large package, with that much RAM on it?

And with machine code, you got to keep track of what’s in the stack, CPU registers, … to make a sense of what the code and the next branch command does. It’s completely unalike processing human language. LLMs aren’t really set up to do it.

This topic always gets strong opinions on Lemmy. The truth with security is: it always depends a lot on what you’re doing and fighting against, i.e. the threat vectors. There probably are some edge cases where it’s better to have physical control over the server. And there will be other cases where it’s better to use an established solution.

Just keep in mind, the people over at the good companies do this as a job. They probably have years of experience. Had long meetings to discuss technicalities and what might happen and how to handle it. They’ve analyzed the threat vectors and put some thought into the exact setup. And they likely constantly improve it. You need to judge by yourself if you can do it as good as them. And you obviously don’t want to make any major mistakes.

There are several all-in-one mail solutions available. I don’t know which can do encrypt at rest. Stalwart can do it. There is autocrypt.org and some Dovecot plugins, so I guess everyone can do it.

I like selfhosting and having control. What I host probably isn’t perfectly secure, though. Since I don’t spend all my time doing it and I also haven’t had anyone else look at the config and check for potential problems. E-Mail is one of the more complicated things. Due to abuse and spam, a bazillion things got added on top of the original protocol and the other providers are relatively strict with flagging mails as spam or straigt refusing to accept them. So there are lots of things to do, and get right. Even without encryption. And usually the needed ports are blocked on residential internet connections.

(And ultimately, your house also is under some jurisdiction, so if you’re worried about your own government, they can come raid your house and take your server. Or bug your phone and laptop. So you need additional security like encryption. And means to ensure they can’t circumvent it. And temper-proof devices.)

It’s an extreme perspective and an oversimplification. So necessarily wrong if you state it this way… Neither do all people in Israel seem to support this, nor is “innocent” any attribute that fits the purpose. Technically like a newborn baby should be pretty much innocent. An adult may not, even if it’s just an act of omission. But it’s not really a philosophical question in this case, is it? And it’s not even what this is about. So I’d say that sentence is immediately wrong on technicalities.

Very nice video!

Lego robots, those drawing robots, something that you can program to move forward, forward, left… A line follower. I’d be cautious at 5 yo and just letting them swipe on tablets and stare at flashing, colorful videos/games for too long. That just teaches them to mindlessly consume content. So I’d allow them to plat KTuberling, draw something in Paint and program a toy robot, but wait before giving them a whole PC or tablet of their own. And a tablet teaches nothing. That’s the reason why lots of people these days don’t have a clue how technology works.

Damn leechers. And doubly so. First they steal the books, and then they don’t even give back to the pirates. And it’s not like Anna’s Archive or Libgen weren’t struggling already. So Meta is just harming everyone involved.

Heheh. Sure. If I’m not at home, my sex-toys are up another stranger’s bum. It made no sense for us to own anything anymore. My brain implant keeps me indifferent and drugged. Consuming and obedient… I’m happy.

Maybe try McDonald’s workers for further research, if it’s the constant and annoying beeping of machines. Or any Japanese store where you get 3 songs blaring at the same time from different aisles, then there’s some offering on a seperate stand, of course also blinking and begging for attention with additional sounds… I believe you can simulate 10 years of UK longterm exposure with a one day trip to Japan.

Just deleted my comment asking the same question… My advice is, find people who are more liberal. Depending on where in the world you live, this includes Christians. Where I live, the regular people who call themselves catholic, are often very liberal towards people with different opinions. Not all of them. But I have few issues spending time with most of them.

And once you encounter backlash and shaming, you’ve met the toxic part of the community. You want to think twice if you even want to appease to them. Or let that group of people dictate your life. I’d say it’s alright to cut ties with them and go separate ways. It’ll make your life healthier in the long run. And the world a better place.

Of course this doesn’t come without consequence… I mean it kind of does for me. But if you live somewhere with a lot more small-minded people, and they stick together and like mobbing and shunning people, you won’t be able to live in freedom, and they’ll try their best to make everyone submit to them.

My take on it is: Don’t let them. And I believe that’d be the Christian thing to do. It’s kind of exactly what the New Testament is about. There are a lot of stories in it about not submitting to idiots and bigots and instead do the right thing. And it really stresses that point when Jesus gets killed in the end, because he offended too many powerful people. So yeah. None of us is the messiah, so don’t get murdered… But I think it tells us if we’re proper Christians, we shouldn’t just gobble it down if someone serves us shit. (Pardon my French.) But even if you call yourself someone who walks in Jesus’ footsteps, I’d argue you need to take offense in exactly that kind of behaviour.

Uh, really depends on the type of book, what kind of noise it is, and how concentrated I am. I don’t think I can do it early in the morning or after a long day. I have some amount of tolerance when my brain is still well off. But there’s certainly a limit. And it’s different on each train. The people who commute to and from work are often considerate. But once I’m directly in between a group of people who talk to each other, I put away my book and switch to music, or doom-scrolling on my phone. But I’ve read quite some things at various places and on the train. So it can’t be too hard for me.

I think Germany is alright. I mean, feel free to ask any specific questions. There are a decent amount of German people here on Lemmy.

You’ll certainly learn a lot of things if you’re moving far away, and it’ll be quite an adventure… And I suppose there are cultural differences, a slightly different mentality towards things… And I think we sometimes struggle with different problems than America. We also have a good amount of our own problems, but it’ll be different ones.

Other than that, I found countries usually turn out to be different than someone would think just from reading the news. For the better or worse… But usually for the better 😆

Maybe iTunes? I haven’t used it, don’t know if it has algorithms.

what is there to do?

I’d say a national strike would be in order. All people in the country should refuse to work for like a week and spend that time protesting on the streets. And demand democracy and food for their children.

Couldn’t agree more. And a phone number is kind of important. I don’t want to hand that out to 50 random companies for “security”, tracking, and them to sell it to advertisers. Or lose it to hackers, which also happens regularly. And I really don’t like to pull down my pants for Discord (or whoever) to inspect my private parts.

Btw, the cross-post still leads to an error page for me.
