  • For future readers: Freetube currently works. Using it right now. Invidious works too, granted some instance do not. One needs to look for ones that are currently active.

  • Appreciate the honesty, friend. You are awesome.

    I never got into the wearables but I for sure use my phone. My phone is degoogled so I use health apps from F-Droid which help with tracking some metrics which also sync with my Nextcloud instance only, or do not request to have internet or network permissions.

    I do think, like you that having some into IS useful and in that no government Left or rRght leaning should have your ior my nfo. That's just 1984 -type nightmare fuel.

  • He never said that he wants your data. Like, at all.You are just projecting. The Apple Watch BS claim is from the publication linked, not from him.

    In fact, going by he actually said, you are doing exactly what he wants you to do. Use the data, if you want, to make better life and nutritional choices.

    Keep doing it. You American seems to need it given your country's general health stats.

  • Do you take your phone everywhere? Does it have a clock you use on it?

    So, guess the only difference is that one has an armband and the other you stare at for a lot longer?

    If you do not have a phone either, then hats off to you.

  • Having watched his actual statement, is not that they want your data. That's a red herring in the article.

    But that the average American is so out of touch with how food --presumably bad, shitty food and nutrition-- interacts with their body, that them, the individual, being able to know of how, for example, that 2nd Coke, and bag of chips is screwing up your insulin levels, and how it get affected in real time could be a positive drive for change in lifestyle. The fact is that the USA has an obesity pandemic and most people's knowledge of nutritional science can be laughable at best. 60+% of Americans are overweight. And 33% are literally obese, including kids.

    You do not have to buy a wearable. They are not making or forcing to you wear a wearable and they are not going to ask you to show papers before you want to enter a restaurant proving that you use or own a wearable. He said that he would prefer it because how do you empower people who know next to nothing? Is it the only way? Nope. Of course not, but the system has been so captured by interest groups that many changes may not be politically feasible. They could be done in theory but not in practice right now. Europe had s superior take on nutrition than the USA, for example.

    Personally, I would never wear a wearable but I also spent a lot of time studying Nutritional Science and attempt to leave a healthy lifestyle. It is an extra load of work that cuts into other things and not many may want to do but it is one that it is worth doing for yourself and the family.

    Additionally, I have friends who are Doctors and the concept of wearables is not always well received. Privacy concerns aside, the worry is that it can turn a lot of people into hypochondriacs if they do not fully understand some basics of human anatomy and take raw data out of context. Not to mention a waste of resources if people want to run tests for absolutely everything they think might be wrong with it. It can also be a source for unnecessary stress in some people.

  • Installed and set it up on KISS. It works.

  • I second this. Can be set to deletes cookies on XYZ (any or all) domain after ABC seconds after tab close.

  • Ah, I see that you too are a man of culture.

  • Plane will he checked inside out as the if plane if meant to be used as Air Force One. Then it must be heavily modified by the State Dept., the Air Force and Boeing.

    So, no, if there are mics, then they will find them. Mics are not magical, stealth creatures and the State Dept. is not some mom and pop corner tech store.

    Worth noting, this plane is about 13 years old. The two current planes that serve as Air Force One, as needed. began their role in 1990.

  • For those wondering, Mullvad is only good if you change nothing about the browser, if you do, then you will he easily fingerprinted. As the number of people who use Mullvad is already small as it is. You will br like a spotlight in the dark if you add other extensions.

  • Librewolf on PC, or Tor, if you want to go full on; And Ironfox on Android. Use LibRedirect as a search provider and if you use Searxing, it will rotate all your searches to different instances every time.

  • I did, and that was a while ago. However, I would say that it would depend on what your degree is on. I had to do a lot of writing so it was fine for 99.99% of the time.

    At one point all my assignments were handed in PDF format. A practice that I still do today as a professional. If you must hand in via Word, you may have some issues unless you run MS-Office somewhere. As there is always the risk of minor formatting issues.

    For those rare times, maybe use their library or comp. Lab.

  • What are you talking about? Stop projecting, friend.

    Do tell us about this great replacement theory you brought up.

  • It is quite impressive that you think that anyone who disagrees with you is automatically a MAGA supporter. Tell me friend, is a MAGA supporter in the same room where you are at, can other people see them, or just you? Or do you think they just humouring you? Or do they just live rent free in your head 24/7?

    Is a Pizza slice with anchovies a Facist pizza just because you may not like anchovies?

    You certainly seem like you are operating on a 1 track mind.

    LOL

  • You misunderstood, you wank.

    Begging for attention or doing something that is reasonable can be good. Getting attention by being disruptive and manipulative is the problem. Hence the fact they threw the book at her.

    Knowing is one thing. Context and intent is another.

    I am not a commie. You commie.
