It is terrorism if you do violent acts to push your political goals https://www.britannica.com/topic/terrorism

I just saw a post about eco-terrorism and people mostly agreed. Lemmy is 100% extreme.

People may have read this and got too excited. He just believes in socially left policy. He's probably not a communist.

What's wrong with Epic's thing

You're right it should be at least 100K between the ages of 8 and 16

Doesn't this article explicitly state that they are contributing to drivers and other projects that they use? It just sucks that you overlooked all of what they did and just focused on them not opening up their hardware configurations.

Also, what hardware configurations did they close? I couldn't find any problems when looking this up. It seems like you can just install another OS while having some hiccups. Which is understandable since most desktop OSes are geared toward a mouse and keyboard control.

Is what they're doing causing issues to users of their devices? If not, then no one should care. It's the same for nvidia, if no one is affected, then whatever. But nvidia does cause measurable harm to the FOSS ecosystem and makes adoption worse, so they deservingly get shit from the FOSS community. But don't just criticize companies purely for closing their sources.

Speculators have taken over crypto so the volatility is unacceptable. The only way you would make it viable is by sending the money amd coverting to a fiat currency, otherwise no one is gonna take bitcoin from you.

It says that trusting Mozilla for the location backend is the same as trusting Google. I may be biased or something because I use Mozilla services but that's just insane to me. Mozilla's business model is not the same as Google's. Are there no network based location services for Graphene other tjan Google? GPS location sucks sometimes and I'd like to have a proper alternative if possible.

The whole reason she's doing this is because she saw that Trump was an awful president and she needs to do her part lmao

These are valid criticisms and they should be addressed. I think the main issue is that this is urgent and we can't wait to do the amount of surveying or studying enough to guarantee a safe dumping. I'm just assuming here since no one said anything about that. But I think it's a valid assumption since the disaster is 12 years old. If they are rushing this after let's say 8 years of studying it, then whatever time they have left to fill up the tanks is probably not gonna be enough.

Every single decision we make is based on "current science" since we didn't invent a time machine just yet to look at the future. Just because science has messed up in the past, doesn't mean we should paralyze ourselves now.

What are these alternative treatments that the government rejected? How much more effective are they vs how much more do they cost? If treatment "A" gives us a 5% chance of a better outcome and costs 80% more, then it makes sense. If it was an 80% better outcome for 80% more cost then yeah they did mess up.

There's a bit more nuance here. Fron this article, the plan is to treat the water to decontaminate it, then dilute it as much as possible because the treatment cannot remove some isotopes which could cause problems. The 30 year plan is actually a good thing since this would dilute the isotopes further making the risk minimal according to IAEA and the US. There are some independent labs that voice concerns for more data though.

The main issue is that the tanks that are supposed to hold the contaminated cooling seawater are filling up quick, so they need to add some space. Unless there's a better plan, it's either that or the tanks overflow.

What do you mean?

I vote green. Americans can't unless they're willing to throw their vote away

Not necessarily, you can vote for someone who invests in nuclear over someone who invests back into coal

Cars are a tiny fraction of a country's carbon footprint

Maybe, but there are other steps that you can take to minimize your print. Something like a solar array. Sure these are very small steps but they aren't a money sink like they used to be and if enough people adopt them, they could do something.

You're probably gonna make it worse for everyone. It's probably more profitable to have more security around the infrastructure than to just abandon it, so that's more expensive. You're gonna make it more difficult to convince people to actually believe in climate change and legislation that helps the cause, since the climate movement is associated with terrorism.

Just vote for the candidates that actually care about the climate and invest in preserving it. You can also help a little bit by using things that have a very low carbon footprint over its lifetime, like an electric car or using public transportation. These things are just off the top of my head but terrorism ain't it.

That's the main thing. I can easily use another email provider with no issues, I can install another OS that respects my privacy. But what if my dumbfuck friends and family use something like snapchat, instagram, or facebook messenger to communicate? I tried to tell them to use signal before but they wouldn't listen. And I'm not about to stop messaging them anytime soon. And if I use those services, wouldn't those companies have a good profile on me? Making the effort to be more private pretty useless.

I think it's inevitable that lemmy attracts these kinda people. At least for me, I got out of Reddit not just because of the API decisions, but because I just don't like the idea of having 0 control over my services. The API thing was just a wakeup call.

I'd say that I'm "part of the problem" in terms of shilling for FOSS software, but I was the same back on Reddit. So it's gonna be my type of people that come in here.

Either that or tankies

Honestly, I don't mind the drama. I just want answers to my specific questions about privacy without people mentioning security all the time. But thanks mate

GOD I LOVE TERRORISM

Sure the security is good and all but what about the privacy aspect? That's what I worry about. Like I said, I believe Android is secure enough as is, but the dependence on all the Google services is what makes it less private. Using Graphene sure does increase security, but it cannot do much in terms of being private.

It can reduce the amount of data that goes to Google. But if you use non-privacy-respecting apps, then you're SOL. My question is that, given all of the privacy issues that Graphene doesn't (and probably cannot) address, does it still make sense to install from a privacy standpoint?
