That’s all newsletters. I promise.

1. Go to “all mail” view.
2. Find the first newsletter.
3. Unsubscribe.
4. Search “from:[email protected]”.
5. Select all and delete.
6. Repeat 1-5 until no newsletters remain.

Now you’ll have a pile of emails you can actually parse, and all the newsletters clogging up your inbox will stop arriving in the future.

Do this every time your emails start to get away from you and you’ll be golden.

Didn’t this used to be common? One button glows in the dark, and if you push it a few seconds of backlight illuminate the rest of the buttons?

I swear half the remotes when I was a kid did this.

Ask the instance admin?

Or just join another instance and don’t get bent out of shape about a ban?

This is like when Republicans complain that Biden detained record numbers of border-crossers, and I’m like “Isn’t that what you guys want him to do?”.

Not well versed in bird law, eh?

Yeah, it works, but it’s really quite clunky…

Tl;Dr: Sharing Nude scenes out-of-context are considered a form of involuntary pornography in Denmark (portraying artistic nudity as pornography) and this man was arrested for compiling and sharing nude scenes of Danish actors from Danish films and sharing them while inside Denmark…

This has nothing to do with film studio profits or piracy, this is a man who ran afowl of his home country’s laws about pornography.

And to be fair, a woman appearing nude in a film doesn’t mean that sexualizing the shit out of her publicly isn’t scummy fucked up behavior. I think I understand the law here.

“Linux File Systems”

*List of root directories*

Uh, where are the file systems? EXT4… BTRFS… FAT32…

I’ve been on Linux for 20+ years now and it’s not as effortless as Windows or Mac, but it is definitely easy now.

So many things have improved with Linux desktop it’s crazy.

As long as it’s not writing to disks, you’re probably safe. This is a good method to avoid getting a remote device stuck too.

The issue is that the digital tap-to-pay cards are actually reissued cards with their own unique numbers. They also require significant security measures to protect from cloning attacks.

So banks need a party that they can safely issue a digital card to, knowing that the card data will be stored safely.

Even a FOSS app that covers all the user’s needs is going to have a lot of trouble actually getting a card loaded into it under current standards.

I hate to say it, but crypto wallets are likely the closest thing we’re ever going to get to a FOSS tap-to-pay system. Banks are inherently corporate and capitalist, so it’s not really in their nature to make things open source.

Perhaps if there were an industry standard for issuing digital cards, instead of banks partnering with centralized wallet apps, we could procure our own digital cards to load onto our phones and watches, or integrate into other devices. But that’s a whole other battle that nobody is fighting right now.

File Manager Plus:

It connects to all my SFTP servers effortlessly, and it’s an absolutely stellar file Manager.

JuiceSSH:

Manages all my SSH servers and identities, and has an extremely usable terminal. It’s got extensions too.

SIMlink 4G

Are these sensors connected to a cell network? What the hell? More than half my life ago, when I was in high school, we had wifi…

lmao, just now reading this incredible response to me calling you paranoid.

Have you ever actually called a non-emergency line?

It’s usually just a phone tree telling you what part of the city’s website to go to. If you’re lucky enough to talk to a real person, the moment you start telling OP’s story, they will tell you to hang up and call 911 if you think there’s an emergency.

The non-emergency line isn’t 911-lite - don’t call it because you don’t know if the situation is an emergency or not…

I doubt it. Streaming sites like Fmovies are used almost entirely by technologically illiterate users. It’s for people who want to pirate, but don’t want to learn anything.

These users are going to remain helpless until the next malware-laden streaming website enters their lives.

They’re not about to install additional software to try to access anything, or at least not software like I2P or BitTorrent, because that would require effort and some amount of technical understanding to accomplish.

This is like wondering why so many people still use Twitter two years into Elon’s hostile takeover. People will resign themselves to defeat if it saves them from having to learn anything new.

Hopefully it will be asked by the very smart people who actually develop TOR, and not just paranoid Internet randos like OP.

I went one step further than OP and actually read the article.

Web-based generative AI tools/chatbots

…

he created fake AI CSAM—but using imagery of real kids.

All the privacy apps in the world won’t save you if you’re uploading pics to a subscription cloud service.

Oh, you failed up. Checks out.

35 Bitcoins back when they were $3/coin.

I bought some camera equipment off of some short-lived Bitcoin eBay clone, and decided my credit card was easier.

Did a little bit of buying/selling since for a mild profit, before swearing off all Blockchain tech as useless.
