  • Quick someone post that 3rd party YouTube interface for Android. Preferably on F-Roids. I need it.

    This is the Internet so let's settle this quickly and efficiently.

    The best 3rd party YouTube interface is called Kuhmbus.

  • I chuckle inside and exit the room at the first chance when someone non-jokingly refers to themselves as an alpha male. And that's not because I'm afraid of them--the fact is that I'm the alpha male.

    /s

    Humans in packed cities could be described in a similar way though, if there's not a social reinforcement in place, by the community elders who are respected and followed, to keep them from it. I live in a medium sized city now because of work, but even still I can relate to the rats [I'm aware of the studies flaws].

    Put any one species into a [packed] depressing [space] with way too many strangers and way too [varied amounts of resources per individual], and they will fight and establish a pecking order eventually. This has nothing to do with how the same species would behave in the wild and with enough resources to live comfortably.

    I grew up in the country with tens of acres and my nearest neighbor was a mile away. Separated from the small town nearby by a river and surrounded by thick hedgerows going miles around in every direction, with a huge open space (fields) between our house and the hedgerows. I've never been happy in the city. No matter where I am, I feel like I'm in a cage. I'm not agoraphobic but there's a sense of being 'watched' when I leave my house that just isn't there when you live in a remote area. All the people, sights, sounds, smells can be incredibly overwhelming at times.

    I am only capable of attaining a true level of peace when I'm in nature.

  • Damn, that is heavy and it really doesn't seem like there's any way for an eventual good peaceful outcome without a lot of bloodshed leading up to it.

    Thank you for taking the time to educate me on the subject instead of getting into a keyboard war. You wear the halo this evening.

  • Are you trying to guess what my reply would be? If not, you seriously need to look in the mirror bud.

    Hamas is a terrorist organization. They are horrific and should all be taken care of.. take that how you will. Palestinians and Israel is should be able to live in peace. This much is self evident and shouldn't be up for debate like you're trying to do.

    But Israel lobbing back over bombs and killing innocent civilians is the Spider-Man pointing at himself meme.

  • I think it's quite obvious they were using the royal 'you', as in America (almost every American assumes everyone else is also American in the internet unless otherwise stated).

    And they're right, American soldiers did unspeakable things in Afghanistan and Iraq, but that doesn't mean all Americans are responsible for the decisions those soldiers made.

  • Ah, I'm "lawyering around about historical shit" (historical being within a lifetime) but I'm the one with a cold dead soul because hundreds of "the good people" who stole the land died, and you're the one with a heart of gold who thinks it's lol-worthy and likes to make jokes when tens of thousands of "the bad people" die fighting for their stolen land.

    Let me know when you want to attempt to argue in good faith, because as I said from the beginning I'm not well educated on the subject, and your tactics are failing.

  • Urim has been Israeli since the country came into existence.

    There's so much propaganda from both sides that I don't know what to believe about who, but Israel has only been a country since 1948 - that's after the invention of the Jeep, microwave ovens, Frisbees, jet aircraft, etc.

    I'm not aware of the agreement made with Palestine for the land, but I've seen enough videos of Israelis near the border, both citizens and uniformed men, throwing Palestinians out of their houses so Israelis could live there. Not to mention the violent acts.

  • There is a Firefox plugin which I believe is called CleanURLs.

    it's interesting that you mention the shorturls OP... I'm almost positive as of today that those links you can share that are like amazon.com/a/ab3cd4 are customized tracking links.

    Problem is, if you paste it in your browser from the app, it doesn't go back to the original URL. You have to search the product again and customize the color, number, etc, and then strip tracking again from the url.

    Most people just want to send a friend a link of the thing they think they'll like.

  • If you have proper full disk encryption and know the caveats, it really doesn't matter what you name your files. If you're the anal-retentive spy handler type, you are probably very organized, and you name files with exactly what's in them.

    He was a spy handler who handled secret and top secret documents and worked in intelligence for a number of years. I'm sure he knew how to encrypt his hard drive.

    He may have even used a VPN, or tor for the searches which has (had?) a very curious ongoing network-wide DDoS attack (very useful if you had access to the entire inflow and outflow of the Internet via undersea cables and ISP access and wanted to do timing attacks) for at least a year in 2022-2023. The tor project themselves tell you that if your adversary is a nation-state, you need to use more protection than just browsing from your normal laptop on your home network.

    I imagine he at minimum used private browsing to search Google and reddit for this stuff, but they logged the search and the DoD was later able to easily get the customer details of the IP from his ISP at the time the searches took place, and also all other searches during a time.

    But it's also just as likely he thought he'd be in the clear, knows how incompetent the beurocracy seems since he was inside of it, but something he did tipped them off and he was scrutinized (maybe his VISA application for China and plans to travel there yearly).

    This seems like a weird way to set someone up... Setups are much more rare than the movies would have you believe.

    I'm mostly concerned with the lack of details about whether he did or did not successfully give China those details... He was arrested at the San Francisco airport coming back from China... asset info, meeting places, etc, of even just a few known spies can potentially give the adversary a pattern to look for to find other unknown assets. I forget exactly when, where, or who, but there was some massive spy bust (either Russians in US or US in Russia, iirc) that happened because of some pattern they found between the registered addresses of the spies... Something about them all living in the same apartment building, or the numbers in the building or something. If anyone remembers the story please link it here.

  • The "to" field is showing whatever his name is on Facebook, I believe it's done by formatting as "Name To Send To"

    Edit: can lemmy not show email addresses, or just anything between greater than/less than tags?

    Edit edit: no symbols for us... That's... interesting design. I guess nobody can use html tags if nobody can put anything between greater than and less than symbols.

  • It is undoubtedly a group of synapses with one about to get a big juicy golden dopamine hit. I feel like that was a spez request to marketing and design departments as a subtle way to laugh at how obviously overboard they can go and people will stay addicted.

    I'm curious how the r/conspiracy sub is reacting, or not reacting.

  • No, it's a joke.

    In an outdoor on-the-spot interview someone asked him how XAEwhatever was (saying it how Musk pronounced it in an interview) and Musk was confused for a few seconds like "huh.. what..?.. OH YOU MEAN MY KID HAHA! Yeah he's fine."

    So he was just trolling and getting his kicks while everyone took him serious.

  • What (or who?) could create a corporate culture where racists would feel empowered to say anything they want without fear of repercussion?

    Hmmm, maybe someone that built his fortune on Apartheid money?

    Could it be....? 🤔
