This is something new they’re testing primarily in EU. There are plans to separate the premium into tiers and one tier will have ads. Even in the US, there are currently ads in your home feed such as product placement videos. When I contacted support about this, they told me they knew they were ads, it’s just that it does not interfere with watching videos. Disgusting fucking company.

Stop posting ads bruh

Matter sucks ass

99%. These are the PYONGMEI branded headphones we see in amazon

That is the question I’m asking. Sure we can blame person X, but nobody who can be put in the place of X cares about the problem. So what can we do to at least get this boat going? I want to brainstorm so that we can actually get shit done instead of waiting for the “leaders” to do it for us.

Let’s take politics out of the discussion since it is clear that even after years neither party did anything remarkable about fixing the broken healthcare system. I believe the people need to take these matters in their hands, otherwise nothing will change. So what do you as a person living in the US think that we can do to fix/improve the situtation?

You’d be surprised to see how many common libraries have vulnerabilities every week.

Start with the basics:

• Harden SSH by only allowing public key authentication and use strong keys to authenticate instead of passwords.
• Setup fail2ban (lots of online resources, check Linode guides) to block malicious IPs temporarily.
• If the data you store is something only you should see, then it should not ever be connected to the internet, airgap wherever possible.
• And finally, keep your shit updated.

Apple needs to port Logic to Windows

I’m scared, but nothing is sacred…yeah

Powerful people. People who have the money and the power are corrupt EVERYWHERE. Yet we ignore this and move on and pay and pay and pay.

You talk as if it is yet to happen.

Having been through a few rigged elections myself, I think it will be business as usual. Social media has a tendency of exaggerating things out of proportion. This creates anxiety and helps people unsee the bullshit. I highly doubt that it’s the president who reigns this huge country, I’m convinced it’s all for show, so that we don’t get our pitchforks.

I heavily use both platforms, whatever I talk about or wherever I go, I see targeted ads. When I speak about brand X, I immediately see ads for it both in ios and android. Plus every device mic is being listened to all the time, advertising agencies are your proof. Sure android devices collect more data in practice, however the data that’s not being collected by ios can be inferred from the data that’s already been collected. Do you really believe a company when they say their devices are made to ensure your privacy? Google literally says the same thing on their privacy policies ;) it’s all legal mumbo jumbo that doesn’t mean what it’s supposed to.

The data collection happens on both ends. Apple only lies that it is about privacy and whatnot. Gives you a false sense of safety.

WELL DON’T JINX IT

I love the convenience, but nobody gives a fuck about recycling or nature in the US. I called a few smoke shops on how I could recycle these disposable vapes with rechargeable batteries and they literally said to throw it in the trash.

I guess it depends on your main goal. I started out as a gambler then lost a bunch of money and started actually investing. But at the end of the day every transaction you make can be called a gamble.

Still can’t escape cell tower triangulation
