Good idea. Let’s just do what the fascists are doing. That’ll show them!

Which watch do you have, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m actually on the verge of getting a new one since my old one broke months ago.

From what I remember, the water that is near the fissile material is in its own closed loop tank and has heat exchangers that transfer heat to another water loop that goes to the turbines.

Solipsism is definitely one way to look at it.

Good point. I’ll update my comment.

That’s probably okay for mild fevers but if they get progressively worse then you’re risking them permanent brain damage.

Here’s everything I know about this whole thing:

There has been a lot of research into the subject but there’s also been unreliable data that is being used to intentionally misrepresent what has been found (hence the correlative vs causal relationships).

So the current well agreed on science is:

• All current fever reducing medications (and most other medications) are correlated with detectably increasing the chances of a child being born with autism, including Tylenol
• Having a fever while pregnant is correlated with increasing the chances of a child being born with autism well beyond the level that Tylenol would pose
• So, strategically using Tylenol would be the best way to mitigate all risks. Which is also what was the general recommendation was prior to this DoH announcement.

That’s if you are using a file to store additional data. Also JPEG and other lossy formats can have all sorts of artifacts that may (depending on the size of hidden data) seem typical.

What I thought they were referring to was encryption at the filesystem level which doesn’t require file blocks to be contiguous, allowing blocks to be interlaced with the hidden data.

You’re right, it is pretty common to do that but there’s always the chance they just cancel the discount around renewal. If you have autopay then you probably already committed to the new price before you realized what happened.

I looked on the website. This is actually an “early bird” special price that is ~80% discounted. So after a while, it’s going to be $162/year and $310/2 years.

Matrix’s encryption algorithm was broken for a while and when it was fixed it it took app devs years to migrate to the new requirements. It still might even be the case for a lot of them, I haven’t looked in a while.

SimpleX should be secure AFAIK though, but I’ve heard that it may not be able to scale well to larger user bases. It seems everything has pros and cons.

There are ways to successfully circumvent Google’s tracking methods. It’s all based on how much you care about being tracked and how much convenience you’re willing to give up.

I would say it’s likely related to ColorOS or Play Services (or both) tracking something behind the scenes and feeding it to your ad profile. You’ve done a lot to try to reduce your fingerprint but it sounds like it could be something harder to track down.

Have you considered switching to another version of Android that uses microG to reduce Play Service permissions or another phone with GrapheneOS? That may be the next option unfortunately.

Unfortunately, this seems to be something that might be changing in the future. Google isn’t going to be open source with android development anymore.

The assurance that no matter how much they mess up, they will have government backing.

I think an open source paper cnc machine similar to a cricut would be way easier to replicate than a standard printer.

Definitely check out GrapheneOS. It pretty much addresses what you’re asking about, aside from root access.

Source-available isn’t the same as free and open-source. You might not be able to distribute or modify as you like to the former and may have any sort of license provisioned with further restrictions.

I’m sure it would persist even after an event of malicious activity. It may just turn out like email with servers needing to be added to an allowlist at worst and more moderation. I think scalability might be the limiting factor at some point though and as a result we could end up with several disconnected islands of server clusters instead of globally meshed servers.

They were new in the 1700s. They are not a new thing for humans today. If you don’t use vaccines you are an outlier to modern society.
