Put GrapheneOS on it.

They see the end in sight. Don’t hold the bag for them.

This is probably the least harmful tinfoil hat on the internet.

Honestly, I don’t get why people are so aggressive towards Sxan. If it bugs you, just block them and be on your way. The first time I saw the thorn it was a curiosity. Once I knew what the intended purpose was it was easy to just shrug and move on. I’ve actually gotten used to it now and its not an inconvenience at all to read.

Constantly harassing someone because they fancy the use of a non-standard character in their comments is ludicrous behaviour, especially since we all have the tools to filter posts/users from our feeds at will; a few clicks and you never have to worry about it again.

They might be using OpenStreetMap to populate their map. If that’s the case, you should consider updating the map yourself! I update OSM all the time when I go to new places or find discrepancies in the map vs. reality.

If you contribute something like 30 edits per month (sounds like a lot but if you start adding unmarked footpaths, roads or building footprints to the map you can hit 30 edits in a matter of minutes) you can get free OSMand Pro, a map app for Android. Every time I go on a trip I make sure to hit the edit threshold to grant me Pro access for the month. Lots of great features!

I’m so burnt out and jaded on AI that I don’t think I’ll ever use it for any reason ever. I just wish we could put the cat back in the bag. I know that will never happen.

Don’t take big steps. Take small ones.

In the running world, there’s this thing called “Couch-to-5k”. Its a progran that can literally take you from square one - the couch - to a non-stop 5k run. Its all about small gains and slow incremental progress.

A few small conscious efforts to disconnect from your phone every day, even for 15 mins at a time, will slowly add up to bigger and bigger gains over time. If you can break the impulse to check your phone by disrupting the immediate availability of your phone, you might be able to get the ball rolling pretty quickly.

Ditch Windows anyway.

Honorable mention for Nobara Linux. 👾🎮

Are those devices not doing the exact same thing though? Why wouldn’t they? Sure they probably don’t have cameras and microphones in them but they probably still do ACR

A TV just needs to be a dumb display and nothing more.

Men whose entire identity is tied with what truck they drive. Its absolutely insane how pervasive this shit is.

A friend of mine is has super restricted finances because he has a kid and a truck. He wants a house but can’t afford it because his truck costs him almost $1k/month. I’ve hinted that he should ditch the truck but he just can’t bring himself to do it. Everyone at work drives big trucks so he feels like he has to as well to fit in.

It’s completely fucked.

Tell me you don’t understand a single word Torvalds has said recently without telling me you don’t understand a single word Torvalds has said recently.

Exactly. Just add what’s missing yourself. It’s kinda fun to edit the map of your local area and its super helpful for others.

Its better to have a judge be able to see the footage and make a judgement than it is for there to be no record of the cop violence at all.

It’s not. Source: am VoIP technician.

Books are better than TV anyway. Once you own a book, no corpo fuckwad can take it away from you.

There are far more good people than evil people. Its just that the evil people are loud as fuck so they draw your attention more than good people.

You sure? What you describe is the autoplay that I was referring to. Nothing automatically plays anywhere for me, even in the main feed view

Turn off auto play. Shit’s annoying anyway.

Those last two lines make for great lyrics. Might steal 'em. 😉

You don’t need knowledge yourself when the Graphene team has developed a well documented process here.. Just read everything once before you start so you know what to expect and then follow everything word-for-word and you’re good to go. It’s fool proof. You’ll be fine.
