It’s a nice way of showing your folks what you really think of that madman, while at the same time making the idiot feel good about himself. I’ve seen European politicians do something similar in the past.

Lol, this is phrased like you’d talk to an angry madman to get him to calm down. Or a child. I’m sure the tone is completely lost on Trump.

Not that I like the message or the person who sent it, but this is very clearly designed to stroke his 3 braincells while signaling to your folks what you really think of him.

I assume its a cookie setting, as I see the same behavior when I turn off tracking protection and ad blockers.

It goes way deeper than that. Fingerprinting is a whole thing. Your IP, combined with some characteristics about your browser, operating system and hardware… pretty unique.

Interesting to see what YT “thinks” about you.

I see 1995 twice there.

No matter how frugal the surface, underneath it’s all still there. Also something to remember when using Google search. the fact that it’s all white and clean does not mean it’s minimal.

“They threatened me with a minimum fine of $5,000 or five years in prison if I refused to provide the password to my phone.”

Jesus Christ. Reminds me of Eastern Europe in the early 90s.

Bitte bitte aktiv werden dagegen! Gibt es jetzt schon irgendwelche Petitionen?

Die meisten unserer Politiker sind digital analphabetisch und, was noch schlimmer ist, anscheinend auch unfähig auf Experten zu hören.

Dabei ist es doch so einfach zu verstehen: wenn es ein Hintertürchen gibt, wird es gehackt. Nicht vielleicht, nicht “dann müssen wir halt besonders gut aufpassen”, nein, 100%.

Gerade heute habe ich dieses Interview mit der Signal-Presidentin gehört: The State of Personal Online Security and Confidentiality | SXSW LIVE. Empfohlen.

That was just exasperation (which I can understand), but their subsequent comment unfortunately shows much more of what they’re about.

Love that facts get downvoted

You just claim what you said is fact, then get all prissy about it.

I’m sure that will get you fewer downvotes?

You want to have a good faith discussion about this? It’s not a simple equation. All in all it’s usually better to NOT cut down old forests. You have to consider the whole ecosystem.

Also, I’m sure Trump had our carbon emissions in mind when he rescinded those protections, hm?

I’m not too keen on reading about governor XYZ of state UVW bashing republicans and The Congress.

You should be keen on reading about anybody who dares to speak up against the current US administration from the inside, instead of belittling such actions. Ultimately it does concern you, too.

I heard he puts his cast iron skillet in the dishwasher.

Well I for one find this claim entirely credible.

Also, more JD Vance memes! Yay Streisand effect!

Stock traders use shortwave radio to transmit digital data. Over long distances it’s apparently faster than the internet.

So yeah, there are always options.

You misunderestood; I guessed that cell towers could be helpful in circumventing such shutdowns. I edited my previous comment to make that a little clearer.

Everything is so fucked up, going into detail hardly matters.

However, critics, including rights watchdogs, Western diplomats and cyber security experts, say the choice is reckless, and the lack of transparency alarming.

The move comes against a backdrop of shrinking democratic freedoms in Republika Srpska, where authorities have revived criminal defamation laws and promoted legislation inspired by Russia and Hungary that would label foreign-funded NGOs ‘agents’.

Alarming. It shares a border with Hungary, which in turn shares a border with Slovakia. If I was paranoid I’d see a pro-Russian axis developing here.

Serbia is not part of the EU; it seems they want to, but they certainly are going about it the wrong way.

This article comes amid other alarming news about Serbia becoming more and more pro-Russian:
no more munition for Ukraine
Russian gas, yay

If you were wondering what an eSafety boss is:

Julie Inman Grant, Australia’s eSafety Commissioner

Politics across the globe have been playing catch-up with digital realities for so long, it’s embarrassing. Only now they’re waking up to Facebook & Co, while new shit* pops up all the time, but again and again they believe that restricting a few platforms is the solution.

We need a whole new approach. One that involves politicians listening to actual experts instead of pollsters, I guess. What a mess.

* ways to seriously abuse internet users into giving up more data and create more ad revenue for content creators, platform owners, software developers companies. Even babies nowadays (if their parents let them watch that). [edit: yes, that’s about youtube, but also about AI if you watch closer. Point is, it’s not just one platform, it’s content producers putting revenue over content & ethical concerns, since nobody tells them where to stop]

It’s a good article for people who got so used to the internet permeating everything that they never considered the underlying infrastructure. But it’s there, and it can be controled - not just in Iran; though certainly countries like Iran and Russia put more effort into isolating it than others. But it will never be 100% - circumvention will always be possible - and I don’t mean VPNs, just other physical/technical means of accessing & distributing the internet and/or other forms of ditributed messaging. As a layman’s guess I’d say cell towers might factor into this.

Oh, so that’s what .ml stands for! That explains it. I guess even my profile pic is too much for them.

What’s up with lemmy.ml if I may ask? I recently got banned from several communities in quick succession there, clearly a reaction to a warning post I made about archive.(is,md,today etc.) using mail.ru javascript. Criticism or disagreement is ok, but the attacks were something to behold.

Ich lese aus dem Artkel heraus dass Nietzard dem alten Trugschluss aufgesessen ist dass man “die Leute da abholen muss wo sie stehen”.
