I don’t use my phone for shit like this. If anything that could be just a website can only be used through an “app”, I just don’t use it.

Edit, also, what’s stopping me from holding my phone to a computer screen?

It should be trivial to generate a stack of similar enough selfies to fool these systems. Still, any site that starts requiring this shit isn’t worth going on.

And it would know the difference how?

It’s not a big deal, but it is funny how it happened. Never heard of any of these people or the company before, so I have nothing invested in this.

I don’t really know. I operate under the assumption that my phone is always a piece of spyware and minimize what’s actually on it or what it can hear.

Yes. Yes it does.

Or more accurately, they can’t search your phone without you knowing with GrapheneOS, so they have to get a judge to force you to willing unlock it.

NYC’s greatest act was tricking everyone into thinking it’s a progressive city. I am interested in Mamdani at least.

Will exArm get a new season?

It’s a popular streamer game, which means long gaps where nothing happens.

I think Croteam has been able to have moderate success over the years, but being based in Eastern Europe might make them insulated from issues. Devolver only recently bought them, but they seem to be one of the few good publishers. I at least didn’t see their name on the Video Games Europe member list that’s opposed to SKGs.

Honestly, there’s a wide range of quality of stuff produced in China, but the expensive stuff isn’t getting brought over. The better stuff is either being used domestically or exported to India/SEA. From my limited experience importing stuff, the biggest common factor is the lack of final quality control. I ordered some small diesel engines because no else makes those but Yanmar and Yanmar prices themselves way out of my range. Even Yanmar doesn’t sell a 5hp engine. The 196cc Chinese diesel was well designed, the parts well built, but final assembly lacks consistence on the bolt torque spec and there was metal shaving left in the crank case. The bigger, more expensive diesel made by a different company had much better quality control, although it’s still necessary to flush the crank case. No one over there seems to do that.

Then don’t take a phone. If you’re an organizer who needs to communicate, get a wifi/bt only tablet, look up mesh networks that use bluetooth and wifi, learn encryption and learn code words.

It’s trivial to jam any wireless network. All jamming is it to flood the rf range with loud static. But you can still take measures to keep from being spied on.

Edit: also look into if MAC address spoofing. Not entirely sure which models of phones support that, officially or otherwise though.

Bush’s war debts.

They should have researched things or at least not dismiss anyone who voices any skepticism. I had my free education wasted because no one wanted to take me seriously. At least I get to say I TOLD YOU SO. These people are more then just misinformed. They’re cult members who viciously protect their misinformation.

Not really, but there’s not much being left for the children of boomers to inherit.

edit: And in the broader sense, yes. Millennial and younger are inheriting the debt from Bush II’s wars. We didn’t have any vote on that matter, but we’re the ones who are paying that off. 2.8 trillion. After the shitshow of a covid response, I never want to hear someone mention the 3000 dead.

That generation was heavily exposed to leaded gasoline.

Guess what that generation bought into and voted for for decades.

Surprise surprise, you only inherit a bunch of debt because that generation lived by “you can’t take it with you”.

This, but why does it need a firmware update and why couldn’t it be setup to update on shutdown rather then power on?
