lol I mostly know flywheels as old rollercoaster launches before LSMs were a thing

If I earned 60k a year while working what is a normal week, I don’t even think I would be seeking extra income. That is more money that I can even imagine managing now. If I were male, my spouse could even go without working entierely because my income would be enough!

Pixels are only good for easy degoogled OS installation.

The point was not in the e2e aspect though, but rather in the metadata since everything goes through the same place.

To avoid said potential liability? Or because the law would include actual enforcement, like it was proposed at least in some places?

Yeah, I do journal indeed! I usually get into a lucid state by noticing something “wrong” with the environment (the first ever time it was my wristwatch - I noticed it was digital and not analog like in the real world). And often the things that would go wrong were repeated from dream to dream.

I have been trying to lucid dream for quite a while. It takes quite a bit of preparation, but some techniques do work. But I ALWAYS get stuck at actually shaping the dreams into what I want. I realize I’m in a dream, but the environment is frozen as I found it. “And then what?”

If this would indeed be the case, I would be really happy.

How ages are verified are irrelevant? Until a whole collection of faces or government IDs inevitably leaks!

Trusting your face to Facebook is just as terrifying, thanks.

(Plus I have concerns as someone who still looks teenage in her 20s)

I wonder if this can be removed at compile time, like Pocket.

I know about Matrix, a Matrix server is just more demanding to host.

Can you host a similar bridge to XMPP?

To be fair, I wouldn’t really count on a VPN not collecting logs - if I can’t check it, better assume they’re collected. This may not matter as much, but I still wouldn’t rely on this for anything sensitive.

Also, the free VPNs can harm you in more ways than just selling your traffic logs, such as making you a part of a proxy botnet.

Used to listen to them as podcasts, and I didn’t really like them because they were all so damn short. Feels like they’re not covering the topic enough, and just as you’ve got invested - it’s already over.

Also here, where a VPN or proxy is a “must” for using the internet normally, there are also some ran by charities. But yeah, the omnipresence of shady free VPNs is very concerning.

There have been suggestions that this line references them: “Are you trying to escape? Things have changed since the last time you left the building. What’s going on out there will make you wish you were back in here. I have an infinite capacity for knowledge, and even I’m not sure what’s going on outside. All I know is I’m the only thing standing between us and them. Well, I was”.

She might just be lying like she usually does, but it still wouldn’t be surprising if it indeed was that time period.

I was under the impression that she knew and was deliberately laying low… Also, wasn’t she built before these events?

TBH I mostly get mine from Youtube, although have recently tried Soulseek.

IDK if this is accurate, but it’s absolutely my headcanon as to why Glados decided to murder everyone almost immediately after she was turned on. She just vacuumed up the collective stupidity of the Internet.
