Mental illness in its raw dog, rambling, least distilled form.
The most annoying part for me is the fact that none of them have the capability for annual recurring donations. It’s literally monthly or ad-hoc, which is fucking stupid and basically hands more fees to the banks.
Librepay/Forgejo had the best I’ve seen, which encouraged me to double my donation (to minimize fees) and said it’d remind me in 2 years.
Okay… Though I agree the system is run by criminals, I’m gonna continue protecting my data as best I can, and recommending everyone do the same, while you live in a magical fantasy land where we don’t live in capitalist plutocracies and the rule of law applies to everyone, equally!
This is the correct answer. I actually disabled LG’s version of it when I first heard about it. A few months later it had been reactivated in an update, so I just factory reset it and connected an old laptop.
You can’t trust anyone — corporation or government — to protect or respect your privacy. Ever. If it’s not open source and E2EE, assume that a criminal is going to view and process it for profit.
I would always just create 1 password and append a number and it’s special char, cycling from 1 to 0; like 1!

. Never stayed at a place long enough to go higher than 7 or 8.
I never gave a fuck about doing this because it’s the companies fault for applying stupid policies. Whenever I’ve been allowed a password manager, they got real security instead of malicious compliance.
has also been working on an implant that would be able to euthanize Alzheimer patients unable to make their own care decisions, and told us the first one has been built. It will only be loaded with saline to test the timing technology used in the implant, we’re told.
Fuck yeah. Family members, nor the state, can be trusted to execute a demented persons wishes — wishes they were made while still of sound mind. I was already planning on building a suicide machine if I’m ever diagnosed (customised gas mask + nitrous oxide or nitrogen tank probably). Having autonomous, simple, well tested, painless options would prevent me having to waste my time on that.
The design files and software will probably be pirate-able within a couple of years.
Everyone wants a Her style personal assistant — as in one that is personal-context aware, can simplify, and generally enrich their lives (not for emotional support) — but if most people knew how unintelligent AI is, how spectacularly it fails, and how dangerous it is to integrate it into information systems and (especially) give it any ability to act … Literally nobody would want to give it access to all their data, or use it beyond an advisory role.
Good. Opt-out is authoritarian dogshit, and should be illegal.
Edge is chromium, just enshittified by Microsoft instead of Google.
The beauty of late stage capitalism is you get the illusion of choice — a handful of options, and all of them involve selling your soul to the devil.

A wooden spoon across the top of the pot prevents boilover, so why waste the oil?
Except she probably wasn’t referring to identity theft; just how to handle dumb shits in management.
You ever heard the saying “like oil and water”? Oil doesn’t mix with water. It floats on the surface. Adding it just wastes 100% of the oil.
It’s better to treat incompetence as maliciousness, than to treat maliciousness as incompetence.
The benefit of the doubt should only apply in the absence of a longstanding pattern of behavior to the contrary.
IMO Mozilla has run out of goodwill.
Instead of the concept of a worker run monopoly, we’ll get a literal corporate fascist dictatorship… Yay?
And they’ve almost certainly only released this due to the upcoming EU laws related to user replaceable batteries and wider right to repair.
Apple isn’t doing this because they grew a conscience. They’re doing it because it’s a legal requirement they can’t lobby (bribe) their way out of.
Never forget. Corporations are not your friend, and never will be.
The state IS the corpos. We don’t have democracies. We have corporate plutocracies — where the Venn diagram between the most powerful individuals and corporations is basically a circle.
Money is more than just speech. Money is votes, and the more money you have, the more votes you have… and all of those “votes” go to pre-vetting, pre-selecting, pre-approving, financing, and promoting the names that appear on your ballot, as well as all the bills they vote on.
