They can’t stop bots on any of the other sites they regulate either.

Why not? They are doing edge caching, they can literally just block the connection from visiting the site just like they do with their DDoS mitigation.

You should replace the middle pic caption with “hates everything about driving, but will never admit it.”

Wireshark is the wrong tool for the job unless you are only interested in the destination IPs, but those are useless to most people because malware and PUPs are hosted on public cloud services or rarely hijacked insecure endpoints, so what value is a source IP going to get you? For example most ‘suspicious’ traffic is from your cell phone and some app is phoning home over TLS, with ‘home’ being an elastic IP in AWS.

Like most things on the internet it’s a game of one-upsmanship. User X uses Firefox with Incognito. User Y say’s that isn’t good enough for his own inconsistent definition of “good enough.”
So User-Y suggests Firefox with 14 different add-ons and only browse through an immutable VM. But then user-z comes along and says that if you are using windows at all, you don’t really care about privacy, so you should be using Icefox on some obscure fork of ubuntu through an immutable VM, with a pi-hole.
Then user-w says well if you aren’t using a VPN none of this matters, so Obviously you need to rent an Alibaba cloud server hosted in China, that you only connect to through a privacy respecting VPN, and then you only browse through TOR.

And so on. By the time a user is asking about how to stop google ads, the only “serious” answer by the community involves using Packet over Ham-radio -> and spending thousands of dollars a month on 4 different cloud providers, rented through several shell companies set up in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and China, while only typing in Esperanto using an ASCII-only font.

What lack of theory does to a mfer.

Unpopular opinion: Your kids do not actually have freedom if you’re tracking them.

This is just false, and your definition of ‘freedom’ is nothing but sophistry.

Agreed. My wife and I are both on iOS so there is no need for this feature. Our daughter when she is old enough for a cellphone, would be the one I’d use this for since she can’t turn it off.

This is a useful feature. If you are in an abusive household, then yes you should have as much financial separation as possible. For those that are in a happy and functional family with kids that you want to allow freedom for, this provides a measure of safety if you need it for potential emergency’s or if they aren’t answering the phone or whatever.

In a better world, yes. In this world, capitalism won the fight for well-designed cities so now we are in a bind where people that shouldn’t drive “have” to be able to, and a driver’s license is just a suggestion. Cheap cars are abundant and easily available so unless a person is in jail, they can’t practically be prevented from driving.

Partitioning is one of those obsolete Unixisms that is best left in the 90s. Only exception is dual booting, but even there partitioning isn’t really very important anymore

I swear the UK is as dystopian as the US and even worse in a lot of ways.

It literally always has been and that fact is why the US even exists.

Agreed. Also dog’s do not belong in cities.

If you are interested in a subject, a video is the worst way to learn about it.

No job/recruiter/interviewer will ever care about what email provider you use.

No idea about the raw idealized intelligence. However one of the biggest advantages humans have as far as societal living and advancement is language, both spoken AND written. Spoken languages are fairly niche amongst species of the world though there is evidence of many mammalian species that have at least the basics of it.

However written language is unique to humans. That alone regardless of any other measurable aspect of “intelligence,” has placed human society firmly at the top of the earthly animal kingdom.

They are also garbage vehicles, long gone are the days of American innovation or quality. The most innovative American car these days is a Tesla, and well, yea they aren’t good at all, they aren’t even the best american EV. Buying an american car in europe is a status symbol showing that you have more money than sense.

Were key-board ergonomics not invented until the 90’s or something? A perfect grid for the key’s is a nightmare to actually type on or use. This was figured out during the type-writer heyday.

“YOU NEED A COMPUTER AND DEVELOPER OPTIONS ENABLED FOR THIS TO WORK. DEVELOPER OPTIONS CAN BE ENABLED ON THE PARENT APP.”

So is this just a case where if you have a privileged user i.e. developer options, you can do things like change the time? Maybe i’m misunderstanding the way time-based features work, but surely they can be trivially bypassed by the child in a myriad number of ways if they have privileged access already?

People that have the need to share “personal stories” with basically strangers are looking for an audience first and foremost. Lemmy has way fewer people so the type of person trying to seek that attention will be going to facebook/twitter/reddit etc. If Lemmy was one of the top-ten most used sites, then we’d see a lot more of that kind of content.

I feel like the next time a democracy wants to protect itself from fascism, that the “constitutional” document should dictate what members of the government can and can’t do. And that the punishment for advocating for fascist policies is dismissal from the government forever.

If we took America’s Bill of Rights for example, advocating for laws that are on the surface against one of the amendments should result in that representative being removed from office. If Congress passes a law (not an amendment, but a law) then when that law is declared unconstitutional, they should all be dismissed with prejudice.

The right to privacy should be enshrined and people like her should be removed from office and never given a platform again.
