I do, unfortunately.

Who else should we blame? Trump won the popular vote, so it was those who voted for him who caused this. Whether they’re dumb as shit or not doesn’t change that.

I’m a master of not taking sides and it’s very easy to do: just keep your mouth shut.

Agreed, but I’m not addressing TikTok specifically but rather policies similar to GDPR.

Yep, wish I’d known that a couple years ago.

That’s not the problem I’m referring to; this is already built-in to iOS (and I hope Android).

To the same audience: quit selling my fucking phone number!

I ditched a phone number I had for 10+ years because it was leaked everywhere. Only a few short months after updating my number with the DMV and a handful of other government agencies I started receiving scam calls/messages again.

At some point we need to adopt some fucking privacy laws. This is absolutely bonkers—is no one else fed up??

Edit: I already know how to silence unknown callers. What I want is to not have the problem in the first place, ideally by 1) having companies not sell personal data to third parties and 2) being able to block spoofed (non-encrypted) caller ID.

From affordable municipal internet that’s treated like a utility in my jurisdiction.

Just kidding, sometimes I say the craziest things.

Ah, gotcha. I knew what it stood for but I’m also an idiot.

This is exactly why in my free time I’m developing a DHT (on i2p) where given a checksum users can retrieve a file.

This would allow client applications to have an index (in this case YouTube video ID zVxDWORcQBU=<checksum>) so that content is always available from peers. Invidious could theoretically use it fetch the content from other Invidious peers rather than directly from YouTube.

My suggestion from now is to find a way to save the videos yourself—I too have found myself in this situation and it’s annoying.

What does that have to do with it?

If this is supposed to be a “gottem” moment because it appears I’m hating on the British style, please know I didn’t know that until others chimed in (hence my question). And actually, I prefer the British way of writing some acronyms without the dots to the American style, but writing ASCII like it’s a word (Ascii) looks really bad.

Thanks, I hate it

I was thinking to myself “so they just have to keep doing what they’re doing” but my second thought was more in line with your comment.

I wonder why ASCII is written as “Ascii.”

Can Tuta use a gateway similar to Hydroxide for Proton? I like my traditional email clients and have a machine I trust to encrypt/decrypt.

I suggest Storj Tardigrade. It’s client-side encrypted by default (assuming you’re not using S3 gateway).

If you’re running an instance why not just cut the shit and block Meta?

I don’t sell locally often but when I do, I use craigslist. It’s also great for picking up a cable modem on the cheap when moving into a new area (don’t have to deal with the ISP-supplied one).

That feels like the opposite of deleting your account or blocking them

You need to block all their domains/IP ranges too otherwise they’re still profiting from profiling you across apps and websites.
