I would be raising hell!

That didn’t matter for me recently. On a site, flights in cart, looked at rental car for <5 minutes and the outbound flights jumped ~$60/ticket in that time “due to demand” when the flight was 80%empty…

Got on my phone, on data (so new browser, new IP) still prices are higher. Hopped on my old phone over VPN to change region, checked out a different leave date, checked a couple, went back to my original date and flights were $40 cheaper (so still $20 more than before) but they gotta know based on Geo IP and time of inquiries it’s probably all the same person, smh.

What a scam!!

So far it’s great! Cheogram works well with 1 on 1 messages, but I struggled at first with making sure it worked well. It wants to initially enforce encryption but the most you can do with non xmpp users is TLS security. Wish I could host a bigger server to have all friends and family sign up in order to get them using protest secure messaging.

Man, I setup Immich for my whole family, a RAID6 of enterprise drives with about 10TB total available storage, and 1TB/user. I’ve got symmetrical 1Gbs fiber, too. Does anyone use it? No. The last get together I told them if anyone wanted help setting it up, I wouldn’t mind. And no takers really. I said it’s easy enough anymore with a 1TB SSD being <$100 it’d last a very long time they could back up too that, far more than Google allows… Nope…

It’s insane to me that nobody wants to change, but when these companies change on everyone, they just let it happen.

I just hit the Reading Mode button on Waterfox (Android) and converts to a mostly plain text article without ads or paywalls…

That’s not going to happen. They’re going to bring in someone willing to do the dirty work like a Zuck or Altman, and catch up in the data harvesting, but play like they give a shit. “We protect your data from 3rd parties” while hoarding and monetizing it for themselves… They’re not innocent. I’m fact, their no better than Google or Microsoft.

When they stopped being able to convince everyone they needed a new phone every year, or accessories, now they just compensate by selling your data.

I just use Google Messages, but I’m signed out of the app. Actually, no Google acct on my whole phone. I stick to F-Droid for apps of I need em.

The way I see it, mousy sms stiff goes through the carrier servers I’d not Google, and at least Messages is RCS. However, I’m running XMPP and jmp.chat for a phone number to test out switching entirely and setting up friends and family on my server. Trying to go full hermit mode.

Hell yeah! Thanks!

Any non YouTube links ? Often hexbear bots post alt YT front end apps that respect privacy

The other things politicians do, like in Illinois, is introduce one bill, and his other things within it to get things passed outside the normal channels. Like when Pritzker up and banned 170+specific firearms, ammo limitations, threaded barrels, and then started a registration process. Also repealed knowingly spreading HIV illegal, so anyone (by the sound of it-haven’t looked into it much) can sleep with a new partner without disclosing HIV status. I’m assuming that’s to appeal somehow to the LGBTQ community since the bulk of voters are the Chicago area, but some time he purely for just in time for elections.

You might think the firearms thing is OK as it helps cut down on crime. Nope, instead, there’s cashless bail and softer policies towards criminals. We can’t even accurately report those numbers based on how crimes or incidents are categorized. It’s a mess.

He also just made it so that a bulk of the DOT funds go to Chicago roads with little left over for the remainder of the state… The tolls collected by the Chicago area are supposed to help that, but nooo, just keep reallocating funds around election time. Sure.

Ohhh, well… Yikes. I think they hop on board without truly understanding what they’re signing up for. OR worse yet, they understand and are OK with it.

But you KNOW the masses will comply because they’re told so. They don’t want to break the law…

Please explain who this is! At the federal or state level? I don’t know enough

And so the need to be kept important (or relevant) continues

I think Yunohost integrates fail2ban, too.

How about "War No More "

Remind me, is that 5th or 4th gen Intel? I’m thinking 5th, I seem to remember haswell-E (extreme) half gen coming out, which is why I’m stuck… but either way that’s awesome! Coming up on 12 years solid! Just retired my 3rd gen and opted to take my 7th gen daily driver and replace that machine, and make a 12th the new daily. Last year, so prices were a bit better. Didn’t have a use for that 3770K though anymore unfortunately.

Maybe she was named as a legal adult at 18, but yeah, odd they wouldn’t disclose his name if he’s being tried as an adult at 16 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I was under the impression “air-gap” doesn’t apply to browsers, as you’d need to not have an outside internet connection.

Dual boot your current one so you have a choice to learn Linux at your own pace! Still have w11 for a fall back just on case.
