All the tracker does (to my knowledge) is sending out a Bluetooth signal every Bluetooth-capable device that has
been backdooredthe appropriate software running and Bluetooth enabled, which is at least all IPhones, as well as many Android smartphones, will pick up those Bluetooth signals, calculate the rough distance based on the delay, and then send the rough location to the Apple servers. The Airtag itself does not calculate anything. - Comment on Starfish memory 2 weeks ago:
I wonder if you remind your child of a specific memory they made daily, if they will remember that moment till their adult life.

Go visit hexbear.net/PPB (nsfw) for a good reason why one might want to defederate from them.

This is correct, but as useful as saying “A PC can be explained by the ones and zeros on the hard drive”.

I bet you could argue in court that the EULA is null and void, because you can’t be reasonably expected to copy that link into a browser to read it

- Comment on Anon pregames 1 month ago:
but this specific case, I don’t know it was possible for her to be the raper. In my mind, even if you lack the means to commit a crime, you still wanted to commit that crime and you tried to commit that crime.

- Comment on Anon saves their vacation days 3 months ago:
In Germany, vacation days expire as well (past a cetrain amount), but the employer is forced by law to force you to take your vacation days.
- Comment on Anon hates fast food 3 months ago:
Eh, what is he supposed to do then? Creep around until she clocks out? Just give her the space and agency to disengage. Give her your number on a piece of paper. And don’t make it awkward if she doesn’t respond.
- Comment on Why do hacked channels on youtube always post Tesla/SpaceX stuff? 3 months ago:
You’ll find that most Tesla/SpaceX hacked channels promote shitcoins or some form of “You send me 10 Bitcoin and I’ll send you 20 back” scam. This is because Elon himself is promoting or has promoted dubious coins as well (i.e. Dodgecoin). I think Elon stans are just the perfect blend of tech hypers and technologically illiterate people that would most likely be unable to differentiate between “legitimate” Elon promotion and those scams.
- Comment on Anon's coworker is a flat-earther 3 months ago:
On the one hand, yeah. Worrying about stuff that you have barely any control over won’t get you far. But on the other hand, that guy’s vote counts as much as yours. And if he already believes such silly conspiracy theories as the flat earth theory, he will be easily swayed by whoever is the loudest contrarian.
- Comment on Stay Mad 4 months ago:
I think the real upsetting thing isn’t Biden’s performance, or havong Biden as president four more years. He achieved quite a bit after all. The real upsetting thing is the DNC being such cunts that they even pushed for this debate, hoping that Biden could win, only to deny and ignore Biden’s abhorrent performance immediately after. That Bernie got shafted twice by them, that is the really upsetting part.

That’d be hilarious, as it confirms that the dad wanted to intimmidate anon by pulling out his gun and in turn got intimmidated by anon’s gun.
- Comment on The heart we can't neglect indeed 4 months ago:
If this is real and not just staged, i really like the implication that people receptive to this kind of messaging have been gaslit by troll campaigns into holding views that run counter to their own interest.
I think anyone paying attention already suspected as much, but with many of those troll farms now switching to ChatGPT, again, if this is real, it highlights how we now can get undeniable proof of this farming happening. - Comment on BBC News - Stonehenge covered in powder paint by Just Stop Oil 4 months ago:
Wait wait wait, hold your horses. Do you mean to tell me, that the oil industry doesn’t care for this protest, or any protest for that matter? I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you. It’s almost as if this protest wasn’t meant to impress the oil exec-types…
- Comment on BBC News - Stonehenge covered in powder paint by Just Stop Oil 4 months ago:
Because that doesn’t make the headlines.

Ah yes, let’s commit industrial sabotage. That’ll go swimmingly!
- Comment on BBC News - Stonehenge covered in powder paint by Just Stop Oil 4 months ago:
"They are sensitive and they are completely covered in prehistoric markings which remain to be fully studied and any surface damage to the stones is hugely concerning.
Bullshit. There is next to no other historic site that has been studied in greater detail. If no scientist up until now has created a detailed map of what is to find on those stones, then frankly, it’s their own fault.
If anything, they should be concerned about acidic rain caused by air pollution. But you don’t hear much about that, now do you?
- Comment on BBC News - Stonehenge covered in powder paint by Just Stop Oil 4 months ago:
Let’s be real here. What could climate protesters do that wouldn’t get them bad attention? History has shown: Nothing. There is nothing they could do that wouldn’t get them bad attention. In Germany, they even got cussed out for blocking private jets.
Face it: The powerful do not fear retaliation from the masses if they vilify climate protesters. The protesterscannot win the PR battle. So all they have left is publicity stunts. And as far as publicity stunts go, plastering stones with water-soluble paint is about as tame as it gets. - Comment on BBC News - Stonehenge covered in powder paint by Just Stop Oil 4 months ago:
It’s either this or ineffectual protests that get swept under the rug and ignored. You should be happy that their protest is purely cosmetic too.

Tech-savvy people tend to trend left. And with the reddit exodus, only those that cared about API access and privacy left.

- Comment on Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure 5 months ago:
The HN discussion seems to be plagued by pretty uninformed positions.
“There is no Signal fork on F-Droid”

“Telegram is privacy-focussed”

That line was adressed at Sony, not the players.
- Comment on How to ease up the return to GW2 6 months ago:
I, for one, would start with getting the hang of some builds. snowcrows.com has builds for high end gameplay (which I recommend) and open world. Many HoT and PoF elite specs are still meta. If you buy the Icebrood Saga story steps, you get access to the IBS strikes, which are a good mid-point between open-world triviality and higher-end content.
gw2efficiency.com is a handy website that allows you to gain an overview over your account, as well as offering crafting support, allowing you see what materials you ate missing to craft an item.
I took a years-long hiatus after HoT, briefly returning for PoF and I only really go back into the game after the Icebrood Saga already concluded. I wanted to complete legendaries, since after the introduction of the legendary wardrobe, you can equip any legendary on all your characters now. I also got into instanced content. First fractals, the raids, then strikes. I now am fully kitted out with legendaries and run all raids and strikes with CMs (- ToF CM) weekly.

'tis from Deca-Dence anime. Pretty cool, but also weird. They have tic-tacs.

That’s a pretty meh solution. You need to sub to everything to populate your federated tab and then your federated tab becomes a tell of what you subbed to.
