Man not everyone had a moment in their lives to stop and think about it. And it wasn't taught in school. No need to act condescending.

Hey don't feel dumb. There's a billion things the smartest person on the planet doesn't know.

It's a pretty clever system honestly, I found it fascinating.

Nah, GPS isn't a two-way thing. There's no way for the GPS system to track devices.

Your phone figures out where itself is using the satellites as markers, the phone doesn't emit any signals for this. It's offline.

Basically the way it works is GPS satellites broadcast a very accurate time signal, (and occasionally data about the satellites exact orbit). Your phone sees this and uses signals from at least four satellites to find it's location. It does this by measuring the delay in the signal between them. (Due to the speed of light, each signal will be delayed slightly). Knowing the delay in the signal you will know how far away you are from the satellite, and knowing the exact time along with it's orbit info will tell you where exactly the satellite is. But knowing that you're 13,000mi away from a satellite doesn't help much. But then if you look at the other signals you can see you're 16,000mi from another satellite, and so on which when you use 4 satellites will leave you with one possible spot you can be.

Fog Of World really isn't so bad. For some reason it makes you back up to Dropbox or Onedrive but I suppose you could just not hook them up and keep it all offline. It's better than handing your data to some random company, I doubt Dropbox/Microsoft are going to analyze some random app's data like this to track you.

I've been doing exactly that with an app called Fog of World.

5 years of progress so far.

Exactly.

Concrete in the toilet, now that's an idea.

Jesus that sounds awful.

I've had a decent experience with Kroger. They don't have any stores in my market, just a big warehouse. A Kroger employee on a Kroger refrigerated van delivers it all at once and always on time.

That's not true, search indexer bots should be allowed through from what I read here.

Very. I mean it's mere millimeters away from the part they're interested in.

Thanks. Anything special configuring it?

Ooh can this work with Lemmy without affecting federation?

You had me till the last sentence.

The people who work in that ICE facility are likely just happy to have a job with benefits that feeds their families.

Find a fucking different job

Yes, as long as you get the option to disable it. And use custom keys.

It's uh, more secure.

MEMORY UNLOCKED

The size of all involved instances grows since they all store a copy.

if Lemmy1 and Lemmy3 aren't subscribed to each other, but they both comment on a thread on Lemmy2, will they see each other's comments?

Yes, when lemmy2 receives a comment from an outside instance it will then send that comment to all subscribed instances.

Here's the basics:

Pretend that there's only three lemmy servers in the world, lemmy1/lemmy2/lemmy3.

At first they will be completely isolated and they won't talk. Until a user of lemmy1 searches for a community on lemmy2, for example !memes@lemmy2.com. lemmy1 will see that that community belongs to another server, reach out to it and ask for info. The user of lemmy1 will see that the community exists but not much else and unless they subscribe, not much else will happen.

But if they do subscribe, then the lemmy1 server will reach out to the other and tell them that the user subscribed. From then on out anytime anything happens on !memes@lemmy2.com the lemmy2 server will send a message to the lemmy1 server which will save a local copy. Any time a lemmy1 user comments or votes on content in !memes@lemmy2.com the lemmy1 server will similarly send a message to the other server.

So let's say something similar happens with a user on lemmy3 subscribing to that community. Then a user on lemmy1 makes a post to the lemmy2 community. The lemmy1 server will send a message to lemmy2 which will record the post and display it to its users, and then it will send a message to lemmy3 that there's a new post in the community so that their users can see it too.

I think you could just go to the community you're interested in through your current instance.

Try this (nsfw.... obviously): !gonewild@lemmynsfw.com

I'm not sure why you can't get past that message though. Works for me on Android Firefox.

It's a group but of course considering the name they will be easier able to charge anyone supporting Palestine

Wasn't this article just removed from another sub because this is (almost certainly) AI slop and a shitty AI riddled website with outrageous, unsubstantiated claims?

Like you do need to vet your sources even when they agree with your presuppositions.

Yeah no Mississippi and Louisiana are definitely worse off than Alabama IMO. But it's not a high bar
