He does go a little over the top sometimes so his videos could be considered to be a bit overdramatic with a little sprinkle of rage bait.

However, I have rarely have disagreed with his views on consumer protection. Actually… I have never disagreed with his views on consumer protection.

Him getting viewers pissed off is not what I would consider healthy, but the rage might get some people to stop showing their bellies to large companies. Regardless, his videos do walk a fine line for me personally. He should be getting income from his videos, which is fine. If he ever cracks and starts getting people pissed off expressly for the purpose of income, I’ll drop his videos really quick.

All it took was one search to find plenty of contradictions to that post title.

But FREE browsing! How revolutionary.

Who the hell writes if 'null'? If it’s a thing, what language would interpret a string like that?

I am fairly sure it just tokenizes the card number and it’s not to prevent tracking. Most retail stores have been only storing tokenized card numbers for a while now, Apple Pay or not. With Apple Pay, it would be for card skimmer protection. Regular cards would still be vulnerable at the scanner.

The payment processor, your bank and the store still know who made the purchase.

Make note of the instances you are on. Communities with the same names can be radically different across instances.

Each instance may have their own collective view on what is right or wrong, good or bad. For example, I saw that you mentioned the “T” word (or was in a discussion about it) on .ml the other day and that is a recipe for an interesting discussion. You do what the heck you want, but each community will have their own special reaction.

I stumbled into lemmygrad a couple of years ago, somehow. It didn’t take but about 5 mins for me to be labeled a fascist baby killer.

If Broadcom takes over Intel, get ready for a wild ride and don’t expect any kind of innovation ever again. If there ever was a backdoor in Intel CPUs, expect it to be opened up and used for licensing extortion. (That seems far fetched until you realize how fucking shady Broadcom is.)

While I shifted to the AMD bandwagon a while ago, I really wanted Intel’s GPUs to develop more over the next decade and split the market up a bit more. Sigh.

I suspect many people aren’t talking about this because many Lemmy users don’t use the platform.

Just use an alternative service instead of trying to find more ways to use Musks personal propaganda platform. Honesly, It makes more sense to open up apps like this again, quietly, since it was was a serious strategic flaw to block it in the first place.

I don’t disagree with the concept of this front end, but there are just better options out there.

Well, most gods are created in mans image. Along those lines, any religious “fact” can be altered to fit whatever agenda the churches have at the moment to justify the widest level of religious adoption “in the name” of their god.

How many white people would have worshiped a darker skinned person while slavery was still an acceptable practice?

Some people are still able to rationalize the many images of jesus from around the world. (IMHO, this is yet another attempt to obfuscate discrimination by bouncing back and forth between reality and the meaning of religious symbolism.)

I question using religious scholars as references to a religious post, but at least that same site seems to be speaking out against white supremacy. I don’t quite know what to think about that post, but it seems the intent was positive. Absolutely make a call-out if I missed some glaring.

“That one fucking instance” is also acceptable.

You know which one.

Check your flatpak permissions for starters.

Flatpak apps operate more like containers and not a full blown sandbox, unless that has changed recently.

This is an interesting blog post on the subject: https://hanako.codeberg.page/

Also, try flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox to see if you can launch a browser manually.

Disclaimer: It’s been a bit since I have used flatpak, so take that into account. However, I do work in security by trade, so my quick notes may point you in a decent direction at a minimum.

ELI6?

Cool design. I am a right thumb spacebar person so it would work out really well. Still, if I was going to get creative with the carriage return, I would have made it a 1/4 size key placed between the letters ‘E’ and ‘S’ for that extra bit of challenge.

Sorry to interrupt, but CEOs may have data retention laws to follow, depending on the industry. It’s easier for many companies just to save everything, usually. Do they exploit that data? Yeah, unfortunately. CEOs can be blamed for a lot, but not for rules they may have to follow. You can blame them for shitty security over that data they have to retain. That’s a thing! (AI companies are the ones you need to look at now as they are the ones that want everything.)

To tweak your point a little, you have no voting power over people who are put in charge of government regulatory bodies who create those data retention rules, for example. (Policy and guidelines are distinct things.)

On second thought, you can vote for the people who control policy or support increased restrictions on police and other feds. You don’t have to vote for people who cheer for the abuse of power. You can look at life any way you choose, I suppose.

Your points are not generally wrong and your individual vote rarely changes your country or the world. Addressing complaints of an individual isn’t really what voting is for. However, you can vote in different elections for people who have specific areas of control based on your opinion. That is why I got nuanced with my first bit about data, actually.

The people telling you to vote “harder” are simply telling you to actually vote. That is the point.
