  • Ah, thats good to know. I also saw a blog post for a way to use it without the App by using a modded App APK on Android were you can extract the auth-Key... but that was way to complicated. I wish there were an open standard for digital watches to enable sync of data with the OS of choice without going through a proprietary app. I will look into the RPI Solution. Thanks.

  • MiBand 6

    The latest 7 looks very nice. 16 days battery life, 5 days with always-on apparently.... sadly if you want to pair it with your phone, you need the Xiaomi App and then (as OP asked) you get trapped in privacy Hell and send all your data (Health, Location, User Content, Financial Information, Contact Info and identifiers) to china. At least on iOS as I can read in the App-Store description. Bummer. It looks like a nice watch.

  • Same with Narwhal. They released some days ago their 2.0 App and already mentioned that in a couple of weeks the payment will start. The crazy part (besides the astronomical price) is that you pay for each API request. So every time you upvote, you make an API request and have to pay for it. YOU, the user, gonna pay for GIVING Reddit your engagement. That is crazy. Every Social Media plattform is trying too squeeze out as much engagement as possible from their userbase and now the user has to pay for it too. At this point, the best thing would be to deactive your your up/downvote buttons and comment buttons, to ease on the API requests. The the exact contrary of what the plattforms wants you for. I deleted the App after a decade of usage the same day. Reddit got everything from me. Engagement, Comments and my whole leaning on political and cultural topics based on my votes and comments to build a profile. Now they get nothing out of me. Fuck you Spez.

  • Old female demography. Mostly uneducated (only school, no further education), mostly russian TV watching groups eating up russian propaganda and misinformation about fear of EU, Immigrants and LGBT. You can pick any country in east europe from poland to the south balkan, the russian misinformation is very effective pandering the non-existing "great replacement", a lie that russia is pushing that the EU want to replace the citiziens of each country with a different ethnicity. Why? Doesn't matter, fear is not rational. At the same time russia is bringing young people from syria (a region they themself keep destabilized to create desperate masses to flee into Europe) to Moscovia with fake letters of free University Invites and then pack these people up in busses and brings them through Belarus to the outer borders of the EU countries to increase the stories, pictures and scenes of mass immigration to prop up the talking point of the far right in all these countries. It is very effective and people who only watch russian TV will never see the grand scheme and will vote hard right, against their own good.

  • Keep Feeding the mice and see the infestation grow.

    Disney:

    1940: Micky Mouse! (Also Worker Strike are secretly communists!!!)

    1950: Hey, come to the theater with your kids and watch Peter Pan.

    1960: Hey come watch Dumbo the flying elephant!

    1970: Hey, if you are not at the movies, come to our Park!

    1980: Hey world, here are several parks, so you can feed the mice in your own country

    1990: Hey, watch the Lion King, buy a tshirt, buy a mug, buy bedsheets, come to the park, we buy all the other studios in your interest!

    2000: Hey, fat mice here, buy more of our home media that you can resell or share! Buy More Shirts! Pay us at the parks! We now work closely with FOX. See Nemo, buy all the merchandise! We merge with Citadel Broadcasting. We also bought Marvel. Suck it. Please feed the Mice!

    2010: Hey Chinese, come to Shanghai Disney Resort! We made Mulan for that! We also bought Lucasfilm so we can sell everyone more Starwars and Indiana Jones spinoffs! You do not have to come to the theater anymore, you can feed the mice via Disney+ from your home! I'snt that great?! Give us more of your money and time while owning less!

    2020: Hey watch our latest spinoff of a 30 year old IP while you can not own the media, you can not share our media and we increase the price without changing anything of the product -- and you will like it! Feed the Mice or micky will come to your home and shank you and your family at night.

  • I rewatched the Video after all these years and have to say: In some aspects it aged like milk. For example 6:11 "The word here is 'tend'. Liberals are still capitalist and conservatives still stand for democracy". Are they? The Conservatives love for democracy is eroding hard. Fascism is really tightly bonded to the "conservatives" of today. Being a nazi, wanting a dictator or at least an authoritarian leader like Putin seems pretty popular in the conservative mindset.

  • Those companies are such a drag for human society because they are afraid of their bottom line. the Music Industry and Amazon also would have burned down the Library of Alexandria if they had deemed it worrisome to their profit.

  • Can you tell me more about Chinas GDPR equivalent? How toothless is it in a country with that much surveillance from cameras to chat surveillance? Can you give cases where people were able to use it to win in court and changing the system the state was running?
