+1 for urlcheck and add Rethink firewall for me

You've got a good point there but limiting it just to the west shows your lack of understanding about world politics. The imperialist approach is present in many parts of the world and throughout old and recent history. Besides the west, Russia (warning: propagandists incoming) is doing that with neighboring countries and in Africa, just like China and other African countries are doing that too in Africa. Rwanda in Congo for example. China to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Japan and their massacres during WWII. Morocco in the Sahara region. Israel in Palestine, and vice versa Hamas to Israel. In Islamic countries: sunnies vs sjiets (or however it's written).

So your point of view is a bit too brainwashed around the west I'm afraid. Lots of governments trying to subjugate other countries for wealth and power benefits.

There's tops you can buy really cheap that you can put in a bottle and have a very cheap bidet. I think for many people it's a struggle to change their mind that this is also OK and it doesn't have to cost thousands of $$$

Same, I just had no cash. I was very much involved in the discussions around it though.

Functionality-wise it definitely is, but secure wise no. There's probably same kind of tracking for profit going on in the background like with WhatsApp and signal. SimpleX is a better alternative privacy and security wise, but it's still in heavy development

Well, he caused this himself in the end, he failed to deliver on the part of secure and private messaging because default chats are insecure and secret chats are a buggy joke. If he delivered in the promise of providing a real secure and private messenger and did real effort to fight against spam, then things mind have turned out differently. Decentralization should also have been part of it.

In the end, he chose for fancy features instead.

I can't explain, perhaps due to my limited knowledge about the subject. I understood that compression was a weakening factor for encryption years ago when I heard about it. Always good to do your own research in the end 🙃

M-discs are supposed to last longer

The big benefit theism often gives is the sense of community. Atheism should do that more often too, so people are not forced to become religious for the sake of having a community.

But that's a bit besides your question 🙃

I also don't like the duplication of logs in journald and syslog, so I always disable forwarding to syslog

Encryption and compression don't play well together though. You should consider that when storing sensitive files. That's why it's recommended to leave compression off in https because it weakens the encryption strength

They're out there watching you 👀

Nice initiative. Small request: can you fix your community link so it's fediverse compatible and doesn't redirect to an external website?

Any old Jim Carey movie for me tbh

This I think only makes sense in a tipping based system though

It is. It's just a bit hardened

Sounds ridiculous to me. If politicians didn't decide on the rail system because of elon, it's still a problem caused by the politicians

Familiarity

No idea tbh. I edited my message to fix my mistake too

They'd never do it if it'd hurt USA so badly. They rely strongly on them on many fields, including military support

I doubt iPhone is better, and it's marketing instead. Or it's a matter of time before they wanna go the data mining road. You can also get a fairphone and install a custom ROM

Not meant as offensive at all or any way to discredit you, but this is horrible/useless advice. Because humans mostly don't think longer term, especially with younger people. A LOT is about the short term satisfaction. E.g. a lot of people know alcohol is so damaging but the short term benefits are just so big

Wow this is such a coincidence but I've recently started doing it. Drink a bit to be motivated to work out and drink a bit after too. I'm not proud of it, but at least it gets me going. I hope to reduce drinking gradually

Molly is just a bit of a hardened version. It's still signal besides that

Just buy one ticket to a Taylor Swift concert and you're already a billion dollar richer

Mostly anything USA since I was 12-15 years old. Israeli too since many years ago.

Coca cola, apple, google, Intel CPUs

Lots of proprietary google crap. Much harder to run a custom ROM with decent support and apps

In my experience, google maps has the same issues in some areas,e.g. Tanger. OSM was way more reliable there. You could help fix those issues by contributing. I think it's fun and you'll get to know your neighborhood better

Yeah the moving around thing is also a benefit to me too

I understand it's a very subjective experience. And tbh, one thing that bothers me about cabled ones is the cable noise when moving. Or accidentally pulling off the headphones from my head, although that's not a common issue,but for sitting experience they're perfect. Aside from that, my music preference is very eclectic, so e.g. the level of bass really needs to adapt properly to the genre I'm listening to atm, so the boosted bass Bluetooth headphones just don't work for me. I've never experienced a Bluetooth pair that doesn't have too much bass.

Uranium is a much scarcer source compared to thorium. Uranium can also be used to create nuclear weapons, that's why other countries have difficulties using the tech because foreign powers are afraid of these consequences

Already India and chine have had working ones for many years. It's not speculative and I recommend you to research the tech. It's unfortunately not very present in western nuclear energy debates. Could be a political reason but that's just a dirty guess

I might be exaggerating a but I've never been a real fan of Bluetooth headphones or earphones. Sound quality never matched cabled ones (I also have the popular Sony one) and battery life sucks for the time I want to use it

Over has always been more effective, also to take it with one hand

The problem with these arguments and the focus of debates is that they are based on nuclear energy from uranium, not thorium. Thorium is ubiquitous in nature, power centers are much easier to set up and can be small and the waste, while initially (a bit) more radioactive than uranium waste, loses it's radiation level much faster

Edit:typo

Wealth predator. It has more of that negative connotation it deserves

The thing with a pizzeria is that I expect that you'll just be standing statically a lot. Working at a bar, as a waiter will give you the opportunity to walk a lot. As a barman to talk to people and move more than when you'd just be making pizzas in the kitchen

I dont think so. I even replied in dutch and they still continued in English. The only place that ever happened to me

Tbh even if you speak Dutch, they'll just reply English. That's the weird Amsterdam behavior

And drugged pieces of shit as well. It's a horrible city if you don't do that kind of stuff
