The massive size of vehicles in the U.S. is ridiculous. I think a lot of people would buy smaller, cheaper cars if they were on the market.
It all depends on your risk tolerance and perceived threat model.
I would recommend that if you do use Proton Pass in conjunction with your email, keep a backup KeePass file stored locally and in a few other places and update routinely.
The Proton ecosystem definitely doesn’t fit everyone’s security model, but it is a massive leap compared to what Google and Apple offer.
In the entirety of my time using the internet, I have heard of the lack of freedom that Chinese citizens face regarding internet access. This has always been held up as indisputable evidence that the CCP is an authoritarian regime, and proof that if the CCP is willing to trample on some freedoms, it’s willing to trample on others.
Just as the U.S. Congress has (somewhat valid) concerns about a foreign entity holding so much sway over such a large platform, it could be stated that these objections are no different from what China claims. If it’s wrong for China to censor and ban platforms, its wrong for the U.S. to do so as well.
Is it concerning how much data is collected by Tik Tok? Yes. But without parroting what’s already been said, this bill comes nowhere close to addressing the key issues of data privacy that it claims to. Banning Tik Tok without addressing the egregious data collection of other platforms is nothing short of hypocracy.
Thank you for sharing these resources!
The release of Cosmic is one of the most exciting developments in Linux that I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time.
The only thing that keeps me tied to any Meta platform is the Facebook marketplace. It is the de facto method of buying and selling used goods in a sustainable fashion.
If there was any alternative, especially a federated one, I’d switch over in a heartbeat.
During all the COVID quarantining, I had a 3 hr zoom class once a week that was unbearable. The professor required that we have our cameras on and engage in the conversation.
After seeing a Tik Took that gave me the inspiration, I recorded a 20 minute video of me sitting in the library with my mask on, shifting slightly so it looked realistic but otherwise staying still so the loop wouldn’t be noticable.
I then set this as my Zoom background and covered my webcam so it wouldn’t pick me up. This allowed me to relax and play video games, but respond to questions with no one being the wiser.
I can definitely agree with that. Of all the A24 films out there, this one is definitely more on the nose with theming.
I remember watching Evil Bong (2006) because it was included in a 10-movie horror bundle in a Walmart bin. I don’t know how niche it is, but none of my friends have ever seen it before showing it to them.
I can’t say it’s worth watching, but it certainly exists.
Positive: Government and corporate injustices are increasingly hard to sweep under the rug, and awareness of these injustices is more prevalent.
Negative: All this access to injustices going on can easily lead you down a spiral of hopelessness if you let it, especially when it seems like nothing is being done to fix the problem.
Just watched Talk to Me this week. Solid horror flic from A24, worth the watch!
I use Linux for largely the same reasons I use Lemmy. While I’m still far from strictly using FOSS software, I respect the decentralization and freedom that comes with Linux. I have such a deep admiration and respect for everyday people that create/maintain platforms, as opposed to large companies that seeking to profit off their userbase.
While I have distro hopped a number of times over the past few years, I keep coming back to Pop!_OS. Everything just works right out of the box for me, but still gives me the freedom to tweak my environment however I choose. I love their tiling desktop feature and am anxiously awaiting the release of their new COSMIC desktop.
In the upcoming Cosmic desktop by Pop!_OS, workspaces can be monitor specific, just like MacOS
