wait can it? I thought most resets nuke the keystore to prevent the decryption key from being seen. Thats concerning.

agree, why I mentioned that in the post. Still doesn’t change the outcome that it degraded the channel which was why I used it as an example.

yea you have it yes, if they have confirmation that you had said evidence, and they were seizing the device to collect more evidence regarding it then it would be obstruction of justice and destroying evidence, but they need to be able to prove that claim. Unless they can prove that claim then it’s an unlawful search (excluding port authority specific laws regarding searches because checkpoints generally have reduced restrictions on lawful searches)

The exact circumstances around the search—such as why CBP wanted to search the phone in the first place—are not known

until this isn’t an unknown it’s impossible to voice opinion on the legality of this action. If they had evidence that there was something incriminating or against the law on the device and can prove the user intentionally destroyed the info to impede the investigation(honestly this last part is fairly easy as long as the first part can happen) then yea what he did would defo break the law, but until those aspects can be determined this seems like a massive abuse of that persons 1st(due to activism), 4th (due to the seizure of private property without a lawful search), and 5th(again private property) amendment rights.

I haven’t had a kernel update on Debian that triggered the “you should restart” message in quite some time. I was under the understanding that most newer systems now use splicing at the kernel level to not require periodic reboots.

Degraded as in opinion or actual metrics?

If it’s opinion I feel most channels naturally degrade over time as the broadcasters personality changes with the popularity increase.

My largest case and it’s a likely a controversial take would be Markiplier. When he hit fandom he all but left the youtube lets play field in favor of other opportunities(which to be fair he was fully upfront with before he did it), then after months of almost no activity he came back with a different personality. (somewhat like how Jack did when he did his rebrand but was more noticeable). My eye opener to it was his GTFO series, I don’t know of a good way to put it, he seemed super offputting and mean/childish to the people he had gamed with for years. I know it was likely meant to be a bit but, after an extended inactivity in the genre and then coming back and acting like that it was whiplash. He also seems to really be putting his fandom/viewer base on the side burner with everything, he hasen’t posted regular videos in a long time(I expect it’s due to his movie that he’s putting his heart and soul into) and it’s made it so I no longer get recommendations to any of his content since his channel has fallen off the algorithm for me. Like don’t get me wrong, I still like his content(when he releases it), and he’s been clear that youtube was a stepping stone for him and that his passion is in other areas but for the sake of the question I feel the channel fits.

yea it makes it so much easier since there’s only one user in the system anyway so makes no sense for everything to be installed system level

The majority of my development work is on chat bots or sites so I’ve always just used bot as the name

further more the opencollective project hasn’t seen an expense report for development since july of 2024 only domain renewals. so it’s not like they are working behind the scenes and just haven’t pushed anything to the gitlab (which also hasent seen any real development activity since july 2024)

edit: I just saw this on their blog.

Personally I will not do any more work on Manyverse. And my impression is no one else is planning to either. At most I might do a patch release (no features/big bug fixes) to wrap up a grant. The codebase could maybe keep living in a fork where the backend is swapped out with some other protocol, but this is a big project which would probably lose backwards compatibility with the current SSB main network, and I don’t think this is very likely to happen. Personally if I’d work on a P2P app now it’d probably be a (comparatively) “smaller” project, like a chat app or similar, using a newer protocol.

so it sounds like the project is essentially dead

I always make a ~/.local/{bin,opt,share} if the distro lacks it. and a ~/bot that I use for my development stuff

Social life? No. But i defo don’t think society would be hindered by fewer social media or social platform sources.

There’s some social platforms that I straight out avoid due to the toxicity of the platform as a whole, while overall I think online has made my social life better, it definitely has a pretty heavy consequence as well.

we’ve used artificial for at least the last 9 years now. Less cleanup, less expensive and easy to setup

the standard 3 draw one. I understand 1 draw has a higher chance of success tho

To each their own, that’s the reason I don’t play Solitaire physically and play it digitally I hate spending 5-10 minutes on a game just to find out that I can’t beat it. There’s no sense of satisfaction for me

I just went through the hassle of putting a PXE server on my main server. I put boot repair disc, Debian live, a few installers and I just remembered I need to throw clonezilla on it.

I always end up losing my USBs and I just lost my primary OS USB and had to re-download all my isos so I figured enough is enough.

I don’t push it. It’s their life and if privacy isn’t a value to them nothing I say is going to change that. I might mention the amount of data collected but that’s generally public knowledge anyway. Some people just don’t care if a company that they use has the data.

“I value my privacy more than you, there is nothing more to it” is a more than adequate statement.

Not that I disagree with the general mindset but, this isn’t a valid comparison because its unequal. It’s misinterpreting what those people are saying. There is a difference between giving your landlord a spare key and hanging that spare key on the community bulletin board.

What people really mean when they say “it’s already out there” is that people with the skillset or job to obtain the data have the ability to, not that the everyday person has the ability to. It’s not unknown the information is already out there, but that doesn’t mean that you would want to just publicly disclose the info.

I do this! I sort by recent and critical if they have the category. IDC about the people who loved the product, I want to see why people didn’t like the product.

I just look at reviews and history from sites I trust. I know that most third party sell companies like ebay are very buyer friendly, and if that fails my credit card has basic fraud features so worst case scenario I issue a chargeback.

Basically:

1. if the site has price history or a way to see recently sold item prices, enable it to get a general idea of what is considered a fair price
2. don’t buy off a seller with bad reviews or very little reviews (sorry to new sellers thats just how it is)
3. use a payment method that will have your back if you get scammed (i.e NOT any type of crypto currency, pay in cash services like money network or paypal family, checks, etc)
4. be proactive, keep track of the shipping info, don’t be afraid to reach out to the seller or in best case the websites support if something seems fishy

I bought an ice machine off Ebay a few months back, the seller had listed it in CAD, imagine my surprise when I got a chinese shipping agency tracking number and even more curious was that the package weighed less than 1 oz. I decided to wait just in case it was a mistake, I kept watching that tracking number, it kept bouncing back and forth between the same 4 locations for about 3 weeks before I reached out to Ebay and explained the situation. I never even bothered reaching out to the seller, Ebay immediatly refunded my money and within a day or two both the product and the seller page didn’t exist anymore.

From a company POV it’s probally meant to try and encourage you to let a friend know, but it seems that the page in this case might change upon login because it says to sign in to see your deals if you are an existing member. I don’t have it though so I can’t confirm that so I’m running off assumptions based off what the “eligibility” area says
