IF (speaker=tRump) transgression count +1

Finally, some useful information out of ChatGPT

One thing I've observed, commenting about downvotes tends to get you downvotes. Did once on a shower thoughts thing I commented on and I edited thinking people where actually pissed, ended up with around 3X as many after the edit. 😄

BSODS&M

Who do you think the ideological purists in the parent comment means? I'm fine with being told different but to me that says people who refused to vote to keep the Trump camp out based on that single issue regardless of any detrimental impacts to anyone or anything else .

edit: and to preempt some argument that they did not literally utter the words that 'trans people will be better off under trump' if that's the argument you're trying to push them have fun with it. Actions > Words

But can it run DOOM?

They where declared an acceptable sacrifice for purposes of making a point about Palestine. IE: if you allow democrat policies on Palestine to continue then we are willing to let the minorities here in America burn.

Similar to Friendica, personal page style fediverse software.

And his number 1 fan was giving Nazi salutes at his inauguration. Just another day in the great American experiment...

It has to do with trans people because you don't get to pick one candidate on this topic and another on that topic. By outright rejecting the democratic candidate these same people where willing to throw every minority and marginalized group in our own country under the bus for that one ideologically pure stance.

You must have slept through the year prior to the election or been offline. This place was swamped with people who, in the name of saying Palestine was THE issue shouted continuously about 'bLuE mAgA' and how people need to stay away from the democratic party, which when people do that you get this as the alternative.

I kind of liked hubzilla last I dabbled in one of those type apps.

ShredOS, lovely little USB boot system that you can use to wipe a drive like that. I would usually go with a 3 pass cleaning. Another option can be to use something like veracrypt to do an in place whole disk encryption that'll make anything on it unreadable.

Here's the funny thing with that. We watched things like Bill Nye and Captain Planet as kids. We've been aware of the evidence of science and the needs to change our society since a very young age. For many years we where told 'use plastic so they don't cut down trees' only to realize later that was wrong. All through it we where telling the parent and the grandparents that things needed to change and the future wasn't looking great.

Not one fuck was given.

So when it came time to be the parents and the mundane middle life drones many simply said hold onto what scraps you can and hope for the future, but in the meantime I just want to sit down for a bit. It's draining as hell to spend decades of your life being ignored, it's not a wonder we get called the forgotten generation.

We're just chilling watching the show...

I sit at the tail end of it, or as I've seen it described 'xenials', wishing things would start to make sense again one day.

The device will try and feed this info to Google for location when GPS can be reached. It's possible to turn off, but the fact that it can be used is troubling. Anything that can be turned off at a toggle can get flipped back on with an update.

It could go both ways. Simple example might be an offline GPS app, allow it location but not network other than when downloading maps. Network based location is a crude thing at the IP level, but can get pretty accurate if based on BT/WiFi access point.

It's a bit better with the 'only when in use' option on modern versions, but 'in use' could be a bit subjective if an app keeps a running service in the background. I seem to recall that Graphine has them split out as two distinct things.

Really? But my flashlight app says it needs location permissions to work...

My biggest gripe with Android perhaps is that somehow the nearby devices/location permissions is tied into WiFi and Bluetooth rather than just having a separate 'communications' permission to say who can use the network links.

Yeah, I still have an old one around. Was just guessing that maybe with the old incandescent bulbs becoming a rare thing maybe they switched to LED and a dedicated IR bulb like they have for reptile tanks. Could make for some interesting effects since you could change the light color that way too.

Old style ones where just a standard light bulb, not sure how the modern ones work. So no more than a regular light fixture, just less light output for the wattage.
