ArbiterXero, to asklemmy in Is there such a thing as too much privacy?

They’re telling you that these “private” spaces are allowing for child exploitation because it triggers exactly the thoughts you’re having now.

“Oh I don’t want that, I guess I’ll give up my privacy”

It’s an excuse. Apple had client side image scanning, cutting through ALL privacy. The program basically found 0 child porn images, but instantly that it existed, governments wanted to use it to censor images they didn’t like.

It’s a lie, it always has been. “Won’t people please think of the children” has been used to create horrendous lies of policy since the beginning of time.

You know what existed before these services? The same evil that existed after them.

We can ban knives because a few people stab others with them, but ultimately if your goal is to stab someone, you’ll use what you have available. Perhaps a fork? And society will no longer have knives, but is that actually a reasonable answer? I mean there are no knives allowed in prisons, and they still make decent shanks .

Killing privacy to solve child exploitation is just a nice lie they sell you to convince you that your privacy doesn’t matter. Facebook has zero privacy and it’s currently the biggest distributor of child porn. It’s a huge problem, and clearly the lack of privacy didn’t solve it like they said it would.

In many unzip utilities, they use temp files that you wouldn’t be paying attention to. These temp files will contain your credentials and you won’t know where they are or if they got deleted.

ArbiterXero, to mensliberation in Want to Fix America’s Broken Sexual Culture? Ditch the Myth That Young Men Don’t Want Love.

Oh for sure!

I’ve known several incels, and in my experience, their entitlement to sex is really just an extension of wanting to feel loved.

Men grow up in a near drought of love and physical affection. After about 5 years old, we can’t hug our best friends.

Then men are told that they will pick a blushing bride that will be everything to them.

And when that doesn’t work, they become bitter and don’t know what to do with the rejection, because they have shit coping skills and mix up their entitlement for love with an entitlement for sex.

It’s a mess. I’m not absolving the incels of their shitty behaviour, but I’m also not going to say that “they deserve to feel unloved”

But I think the solution starts with recognizing that the incels actually want love. In my experience, women want to feel loved, and THEN trust you physically with sex. This makes sense because the physical danger for women is very real. Men seem to do it backwards. They want to get physical first and then trust you with love, since emotional danger is very real to them.

Anyways I’ll stop rambling, this is a mix of facts and personal experiences, but I really stand by the general point.

ArbiterXero, to lemmyshitpost in Data leak

This looks like the “switch” or “router” end of the cable, so it could be coming from the PC

ArbiterXero, to memes in A great Collection 🥴

They’re not all foxes, ice weasel is missing lol

ArbiterXero, to asklemmy in What are some dark sides to cute super-powers ?

Well, I always figured that “x ray vision” was just eyes that were super sensitive to the natural background radiation everywhere, and not that they were actually transmitting x rays

This is literally the centre of the incel problem.

ArbiterXero, to piracy in Looks like DRM prevented to watch movies in many theaters yesterday

Oh fuck I’d forgotten about that.

I knew I hated Sony, but I’d totally forgotten about that.

ArbiterXero, to selfhosted in VPN speed

While this is conclusively stoned as “cpu” issues, in case anyone else finds this thread…

While your isp can’t read the data over the VPN, they CAN see that you’re using a VPN and intentionally slow down your connection with traffic shaping because you’re putting so much data through the vpn.

ArbiterXero, to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

It was literally a perfect design.

The phone was already on by the time it was at your face.

I am sad for its loss

ArbiterXero, to asklemmy in Is there such a thing as too much privacy?

Because they’re distracting you with bullshite problems.

For example, gay marriage. There’s a simple answer that appease everyone…… the government doesn’t regulate marriage, they regulate “civil unions”

You just change all the official paperwork to call everyone’s “marriage” a civil union and let the people decide if they want to call it a marriage or not. Who the fuck cares?

But no, they made it a culture war. “The gays are destroying society and they’re gonna make our kids gay” Vs “They are denying the gays marriage and next they’re going to start assassinating them”

Left or right, they both crave power and are selling us out for it.

ArbiterXero, to datahoarder in Seagate Expansion external HDD power supply making a very faint alarm sound

It’s not an intentional noise, it’ll be a shitty bridge rectifier.

It’s just a cheap shitty power supply.

ArbiterXero, to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

A lot of it isn’t there anymore….

But because it was a hardware thing, the patch would involve rooting your phone, something most people won’t do.

ArbiterXero, to linux in Is anyone here using their hardware TPM chips for credentials?

The problem with this is that the key would be “machine based” and not “person”

So it’s better for “service accounts”
