Comms works for that. I like to leave the Reddit baggage behind

I use a safari plugin called Wipr. There’s another I’m aware of called Vinegar

Lots of ways around this, even on locked down iOS/iPadOS

Generally people just call them communities here

Don’t make me drip some concentrated caffeine into a pot of decaf

I’ve heard of mpreg but I guess this is… uh… Lpreg?

Fishing expedition an expression for cases where a police officer or agency goes after someone, generally someone they don’t like, usually for personal or political reasons, by searching for crimes the person has committed in absence of any actual suspicion of a crime being committed. Basically digging up dirt on someone as retaliation for whatever they don’t like a person for.

The current DOJ is doing a lot of it. They make up bogus justifications for what are clearly illegal search and seizures so they can make their political enemies’ lives more difficult. None of the charges will stick, but they’ll still ransack your house, confiscate your computers, shit like that. I don’t want to make their lives easier in the event they want to dig up dirt on me; at least they’ll need a search warrant to come in and steal my DVR drive out of my home rather than hitting up a tech company that doesn’t care about me beyond my being a revenue stream to get my data.

It’s not just a random person, you’re opening yourself up to the government subpoenaing wyze and collecting information about you without your knowledge or consent. In a normal world with a responsible government that wouldn’t be a huge deal provided you’re not doing anything seriously wrong, but that ship has sailed as of late. Don’t let them incriminate you with a fishing expedition for convenience

My bad, I mixed up wyze with nest, which google owns. Amazon owns blink and ring. I do know wyze was founded by former Amazon employees, which is definitely not the same as their being controlled or supported by Amazon. That said, you may want to read up on some of their security breaches, which have happened multiple times.

You can have both. I have a 360 camera set up around my house that records to a local dvr. I can remote into it when I’m not home and I’m not supporting ghoulish companies like google or Amazon.

Seems like they’ve already lost the reliability anyway due to the jamming

Look up Kessler syndrome for an answer as to what may happen if starlink satellites were attacked, although I think I recall people more knowledgeable than me stating this orbit is low enough where it may not be a permanent issue. Nations only control their airspace up to the Karman line which is 100km up. Starlink satellites are well beyond that.

You just made me think of this, has anyone slapped a cell modem onto a gun yet? That sounds like something that would happen here

Thanks for actually discussing the article instead of feeding the trolls

Thanks republicans, very pro consumer, very cool.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yours, solarpunk and maybe Blahaj? Sorry to hit you with an impromptu game of 40 questions

in the flotilla…

Is this a snowcrash reference?

Jack Dorsey’s square is the majority owner of tidal now. Not great, but not as terrible as many of the other streaming services’ ownership. Still don’t understand why on earth Jack endorsed RFK for president.

This is dumb. A local change to your browser that nobody else even knows about is not a protest in any way shape or form.
