Social media is reinforcing and entrenching our existing views. For millennials that all started as young adults so it mostly reinforced progressive views, for zoomers it got to them during their incel phase (if not earlier) and so it reinforces the views they share with Andrew Tate and the anti-woke crowd.

We’re bringing forward a generation that is DEEP into the incel rabbithole.

I’m not an expert, but OpenBSD may be a wildcard option. I’ll leave considering that to somebody else.

Well, Obama got one so why not. Although Obama got his for “strengthening international diplomacy” so it’d be hilarious if Trump got it for the opposite.

They missed at least one.

Welp, looks like I won’t be allowed into America. Oh no. How unfortunate.

Remove YouTube Suggestions (assuming you still use the YouTube client directly).

Also, Tampermonkey, to install single-site scripts that you can customize and with more limited permissions.

Yeah, when I said that I didn’t really adequately consider what would actually come of Iran being crippled. Civilian rule is not the likely outcome of Iran being defeated.

And Iran isn’t as bad as Israel, I agree, but that’s a pretty low bar.

Anyone got a good list of Israeli companies? I mostly assumed I didn’t buy anything Israeli because they’re a small country far away from me. Intel and PrivateInternetAccess are the only two I know of (and the latter it took me way too long to realize is Israeli).

But entirely worth it.

The idea I’m thinking of is some kind of fliphone combined with a separate device for everything else. I haven’t looked too much into it so I can’t guarantee it’s a good idea, and after like 2 minutes of searching I couldn’t find a flipphone that supported hotspotting.

I just got GrapheneOS, and while it’s good I really hate the jumpscare that is the Google logo every time I reboot (since it’s exclusive to Google Pixels).

When using the web installer, I recommend scrolling down to the bottom and clicking the download button before starting.

Spent like 30 minutes with my phone just sitting there in the bootloader waiting for it to download.

I’d sooner fly on the Hindenburg than Boeing.

Well, at least Twitter would be gone forever.

Nationalize the drug industry.

Bluetooth didn’t work on my laptop. Got new bluetooth card (exact same type). Bluetooth still didn’t work.

Turns out:

1. The specific card doesn’t support Linux.
2. My laptop has a hardware whitelist in the BIOS that prevents me from installing any other card.
3. My headphones don’t support USB bluetooth.

Russia’s been bombing Ukrainian schools and hospitals, if Russia does retaliate I don’t think a drone attack on war planes is sufficient to call it “provoked”.

Anyone know of a desktop equivalent to IronFox?

I don’t. I just hope for the best and try to install as few things as possible.

I’m focussing on disaster recovery now, more than prevention. Prevention seems like it’s almost impossible in this age.

EDIT: I mistakenly answered based on security, not privacy.

We are not currently on track for the world to end. Things are bad, but not that bad.
