its from terry davis, the schizophrenic talented developer who wrote his own OS (TempleOS) from scratch as one of gods temples or something, however he was pretty racist and delusional, so would see “glowies” of CIA agents or whatever trying to get him, and now the term is used for people suspecting others of being federal agents

i agree, although the debris definitely left the exclusion zone, as shown by the large number of flights impacted, and spacex setting up a found debris hotline.

i mean its glass, could just melt it down

captain disillusion still makes videos, just very slowly because of how much work each one is

youtube might never really die though, that business model is just so incredibly dependant on scale, and hosting ridiculous amounts of data, that it seems nearly impossible for something else to start up

eh, its better than discord and it was hard to convince people to use signal, even as convenient as it is.

not the most trustworthy source but heres one https://web.archive.org/web/20210601000527/https://www.reddit.com/r/security/comments/bpjky4/worried_about_your_smart_tv_listening_in_simply/

i found a source, it is a random reddit post though https://web.archive.org/web/20210601000527/https://www.reddit.com/r/security/comments/bpjky4/worried_about_your_smart_tv_listening_in_simply/

some samsung tvs would autoconnect to open wifi networks, and that couldnt be disabled.

im thinking about getting a nice tv and desoldering the wifi chip, but its kinda intimidating. like would it even display an hdmi feed if the wifi chip is gone

i dont save ALL videos, i only save videos i would really miss if they disappeared.

some people have the storage to save entire channels though, and if i had the space for it i might do the same

lol you can store petabytes in one rack, much less an entire data center.

personally I think that theres loads of people with the skillset to do it, but they all have nice jobs in cybersecurity instead of cracking video games.

it would be preferable to have someone other than her cracking denuvo lol

Yeah, I got a perfectly good phone for half the price of buying new

because it sets a precedent. “oh france did it, its not too bad”

yeah sure DNS based blocking, I host pihole to do that on my network, but if a device sets an alternate DNS server, I don’t think there’s anything I could do about it.

I don’t really agree that the internet is too open, but I also just don’t think that forced censoring on the ISPs side is possible, simply because of how networking works.

Believe me I wish I could block YouTube ads with a DNS server, but DNS only is for domains, and the ads are from the same domain as the video, and there is no way to decrypt and censor https traffic (without your certificate on the client, but if you can do that then just put censoring in the browser/computer anyway)

and like, if you don’t want kids seeing nsfw stuff or etc, there are DNS servers for that, just set that on the device or in your router for the whole network

at least you mostly know what data insurance companies get though, with tech its somewhere between all of your internet activity ever, and nothing because its too expensive.

personally it seems worth it to me to avoid large tech companies simply because I have the time to deal with some lost convenience, and if they are storing everything then they will have less on me, and if they aren’t, well I’ve learned loads about IT, and its been kinda fun.

your opinion doesn’t seem to be that unpopular here

I think it was fine, certainly a very unique and artsy style, but I can see why some people don’t like it.
