- Comment on France seeks to ban social media for children under 15 5 days ago:
I don’t mean it to be. I’m trying to be a realist so that I can take appropriate steps to protect myself online. If you want to be anonymous on social media then you should only connect via a VPN. And if you’re using a VPN you can set your location to be somewhere that doesn’t have these requirements. There are other ways that these companies can track you as well and they will freely give this data to the authorities. Even if you’re protect yourself from all of those vectors, if you upload a photo of yourself or someone else tags you then there is a good chance you’re identifiable with tools like ClearView. People making the argument that this new restriction will allow governments to track citizens clearly have no clue about the current surveillance systems. I’m not pro these surveillance systems but this ignorance is dangerous. The biggest danger I see from these new rules are data leaks.

Governments already have access to your data and can easily link you to your social media accounts

I sometimes eat raw pasta when I’m cooking pasta and I’m impatiently checking if it’s ready after 2 minutes
- Comment on How to deploy a satellite and what are the costs? 4 weeks ago:
Check out this project. But your first requirement of a camera pointing to earth isn’t realistic for a small cube satellite.
- Comment on Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads. 4 weeks ago:
I might put some zigbee door sensors on my fridge so I can get an alert when it’s left open. My 3yo has learned to open the freezer and while it does make a noise, so do a lot of things in my house so I might not notice straight away. Maybe an internal temperature sensor as well? Ok, now you’ve got me thinking, imma turn my fridge into a T1000 but at least it won’t try and sell me anything.

This is a silly take. It’s an open source project from a non profit creating a new browser option

That explains why Trump is so hostile towards Hillary

- Comment on Has anyone here ever doubted if your parents were your "real" parents? Is it normal to have these weird thoughts? 2 months ago:
It must be tough, these sounds like pretty intense feelings and thoughts. Have you considered remote mental health options? I’ve used them in the past and found them useful
- Comment on Has anyone here ever doubted if your parents were your "real" parents? Is it normal to have these weird thoughts? 2 months ago:
Do you have a birth certificate? Do you have access to a mental health professional?
- Comment on Is airtags really useful? 2 months ago:
I’ve found them great for tracking luggage when travelling. And useful for finding keys in the house.

I’m reading between the lines but basically what you’re saying is buy Dogecoin?

Every US index is way up over the last 12 months. I don’t understand the market’s valuation of the few big players that are propping up the market but this recent correction isn’t anomalous. Obviously I have money in the markets so I wrote this defensive comment because I’m actually worried 😬
- Comment on FlatEarthers will work around it 2 months ago:
To be fair, there is only one non-stop commercial flight between Australia and South America. I’m not a flat earther but pointing out this fact sure makes me feel like one 🤔

What about just taking a regular energy drink with some sleeping tablets?

- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
You’re assuming that “good president” means “a president that implements OPs beliefs”. If you believe that “good president” means “strong leader” and if you believe that Trump is a strong leader then that list of beliefs make sense. Don’t attack someone with progressive values simply because they don’t hold your exact set of progressive values.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
These positions only seem like cognitive dissonance because of US bipartisanship and the politicization of everything.

Just install McAfee AND Nortons antivirus and everything will be fine
- Comment on Hypothetically, if you have memory problems and need to write down events, is there a system which you can verify that its not tampered with? (Like a digital checksum, but for a journal) 4 months ago:
Or the excerpts haven’t been removed or moved which changes the meaning of the journal.
- Comment on My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks? 4 months ago:
wtf, where do you live? Is it a police state? How would publicly posting photos of arrested people possibly help with rehabilitation?

Bugger, I tried this and then deleted the chat but apparently “any created memories will be retained”. Now ChatGPT is going to think I’m a cheater and because I deleted the chat, it won’t know why 🤦♂️
