Thanks for making this privacy-forward. I had been using Heliboard and then a kludge to get another language they don't support via Simple keyboard. It worked well as a workaround, and then an update last week broke my…
It does, actually. Do a loop around the doubled letter. It's a common swipe gesture on most keyboards, IIRC, for at least a decade. Not sure why it's hardly ever mentioned. iphones only got it a few years ago. So for…
Unless you've had fraud committed against you, that's a hard sell. What dollar figure do you use as the basis? Are you suing for years of credit monitoring? Because that's typically the solution for people who are the…
Having worked with telco companies, 99% of it is "Yeah, but this stuff still works just fine;) And if a government compels us to change our equipment for reasons other than national security, we're going to pitch a fit…
The most amazing part of Blue Zones, IMO, is the staying power of a few mythological health Shangri-La places. Debunked or not, people will repeat this idea for a generation or two until, ironically, anyone that's read…
At some point we all have to remember that the monitor showing these commands is also an actor, and not actually a computer hooked up to a special laser that scans your body, destroys it, and pulls you into a 1980's era…
I imagine people won't like the comparison, but this is exactly how changes in leadership work for developing countries. Anyone tied to the old regime that isn't immediately, obviously, and hugely beneficial to the top…
For a while CBS refused to put Northern Exposure on streaming platforms due to the rights needed for all the songs that appeared both in the soundtrack and just in the background on KBHR. I ordered the DVD box set…
Having done data broker opt-outs manually using the Big Ass Data Broker Opt Out List (https://github.com/yaelwrites/Big-Ass-Data-Broker-Opt-Out-Li...), very little of the process can be automated. Intentionally. A few…
That's the point of the comment, humans do things all the time that aren't part of some larger cultural-ritual-religious aspect. We spend a lot of time and resources doing things that seem cool at the time and only seem…
Had a similar problem in 2013. Fitness tracker showed my partner and I woke up at exactly 4:00am every day. Barely audible TV from neighbor through a shared wall the source. Literally 5 minutes of online search and a…
It goes much deeper than that. The John Deere ecosystem is designed to trap farmers using a combination of the closed ecosystem and financing. They've been at it for years, selling precision agriculture advances as the…
So the formula is basically: (Late 90's Pop Group Framework)*(Dead Internet Theory) = Clicks and Streams
Everyone knows how much the bribe is: Collusion! Cartels! Calamity! No one knows how much the bribe is? "Relationships are Important", "Cost of Doing Business", "An Investment in Us"
If it has an HDMI port, and even better if it has a USB port for power, is you can buy an $40 Amazon Fire Stick and use and upgrade with your TV until it physically dies. Truly, no one should ever connect their "Smart"…
Looking at the author's work for West Africa, when is it a travel guide and not just a diary in travel guide format? Though it's a bit frustrating to read how close he gets to some genuine understanding of how things…
Imagine no more! An article about this seems to be written about a trend of "too expensive!" every decade. 2023: https://www.luxurydaily.com/american-couples-spending-more-m... 2015:…
1 million% agree - I've lived in Ghana and a number of other countries in West and Southern Africa. I've sadly attended many funerals in each place. These photos that visually drive the sense of opulence are entirely of…
A week after I started doing OSINT research, I realized how much very personal data I had online. Much more than I wanted. Years ago I went down the privacy rabbit hole and realized how bad all of this was. And that was…
We're at a place where browser fingerprinting is what you have to defeat in order to not be tracked online, it goes a lot further than signing up for DeleteMe. All DeleteMe does is save you the time of manually making…
This is immensely counter-intuitive to many Americans. They wrongly assume that digital IDs are some Biblical apocalyptic level invasion of privacy, when every state ID database is already 1) linked to Federal ones, and…
Even easier - egg sandwich using a basic milk bread.
I use it maybe twice a week. My wife maybe every day or two, and will go through things if they make her laugh. Apparently she never got thirst trap hunky dudes non-stop when she first signed up.
I'm not who you asked, but the niche for Georgian wine is orange wine, which is white wine left to sit on the grape skins for a couple days, so it pulls more tannins. It's not exclusive to them alone, but the more…
Seconding all of this. The food is truly fantastic, and the Georgian people are awesome, but the way they've let Putin slide in to just the right places is holding back the country. I've never been so invested in a…
