Yet another rewrite of “we didn’t start the fire” incoming.

Linux using proprietary drivers always feels like a plane using a transmission to me.

Plaintext should never be used in any application that deals with security, ever.

Based on Trumps defenders, it’s a legal gray area, so yes.

I feel it. I forgot what it was like. I feel… The Bern.

I learned from a chef that an oven would work better due to the even heat applied all over but in a pinch or if you don’t want to do all that, the stove top could be fine.

The amount of disgusting freaks that don’t know you need to wash this and reapply the seasoning with oil in the oven is insane to me.

Because of people… like you… who provide nothing to a free service besides costing bandwidth… leeches to a free internet… vampires to charity…

I need a submissive mommy goth gf because mine was emotionally abusive and therapy is for cowards 😎

What data? Who bought it? Do you have a single fact to back that up?

• Sure, but I think it’s safe to assume your IP is near public information when connecting to any domain.
• Okay, this is a fair point, I don’t think anyone at any company should have sensitive data open to employees. That’d be as bad as having passwords accessible by X role at the company.
• Near meaningless data though. It’d be like if it knew if your keyboard was connected or not. It’s hard to use that information.
• From what I understand, services use phone numbers because it’s harder for bot accounts to be spammed. Whether they allow themselves to go beyond that is up to the company. Even Counter-Strike and Valorant, competitive games in general, do this to curb the automated userbase.

• Everything everywhere I connect to has my IP, oh no.
• It’s not plaintext if it’s encrypted…
• So like cookies but for an application, not that intrusive imo.
• “You may be required to verify your account with a phone number” - I provided a phone number once and they’ve never, at any point, sent me anything or asked me to use it. You could easily use a burner phone.

Even thinking about a company like Google seems like more of a privacy nightmare. This is relatively tame compared to most everything else.

Yeah, sure, complain about it if you want to, it just doesn’t make sense if you’ve already given them the data. I like Signal for privacy but it doesn’t have any customization, no personalization, no personality, it’s nearly sterile. It does it’s job and that’s it. Great for people who want privacy for like… work but for just talking to friends Discord seems more enjoyable.

I haven’t scraped the terms of service to see exactly what kind of data they collect but I’m not extremely worried about it. I don’t put sensitive information into it beyond my payment information for Nitro. I’m sure everyone here on Lemmy, a self-host and open source site/software, is against programs like Discord because they’re proprietary but I personally just enjoy it and don’t find it very limiting.

Ah right, so it’s fine if it’s a privacy nightmare but combined with ads, woah there. If you’re right, they already have your data. If you don’t use it, why even complain?

This is just Netflix all over again. If you don’t want to pay for Nitro, watch ads. If you don’t like ads, find the door. I don’t get why people normalize freeloading online services and get pissy when they have to pay for what they use. Servers cost money. Pitch in with ads, data, or a subscription.

Otherwise go do your open-source self hosted and P2P programs, they all have the same problem. Reliability.

Yeah god forbid anyone pay for the shit they use, just keep hopping around to suck the life out of every ‘free’ service there is. Nitro is right there.

Lol there’s this cute thing called boot camp every branch goes through. It knocks out 80% of your identity and if you were ever in the military you’d know you’re not allowed to have political opinions and damn sure not allowed to voice them. You are a tool. An instrument of the government. The military is not siding with you dumb fucking rednecks cosplaying as militia. You will get steamrolled like the domestic terrorists you are.

PLEASE go test out how effective that second amendment is. Go into any US fort, armed, and see how far you get. I’m begging.

That’s wild because twice now I’ve said to you that I feel bad for her and it sucks but it’s a distraction from the horrors quite literally from the other side of the border. I am not going to morun a paper cut in front of someone missing their leg. I am not going to stop and express great loss to someone who survived their attack in front of someone who lost loved ones to the same kind of attack.

The people who are overly concerned about this woman are the ones trying to use her story as a smokescreen against the atrocities their side have committed. The “Hamas did a bad thing!! Don’t pay attention to the IDF doing the same thing exponentially more times! Listen to how bad her story is!”

The dead can’t speak. They can’t relive their trauma because they’re gone. Extinguished. Stop missing the forest for the trees and start looking at the broader context. But you know, you’re right, you’ve helped me realize maybe I don’t give a shit about her story because she’s choosing to use that story as propaganda. Thanks, Aragorn. Fuck that woman and her problems. I choose to believe that only the inhumane would placate to these small stories while the victims of true abuse have no voice. Buried under the rubble of their homes, losing their lives wishing for nothing more than to just live a little longer.

If there is even a glimmer of humanity left it is not with the IDF. It is not with Israel. And it most certainly is not with the people who try to defend them. There is no middle ground to this conflict, my friend. You are either a monster or are fighting them.
