And they are going to know the differences between my flagship loaded with creds and the base model i just bought and loaded just the travel apps? I didn’t say don’t bring anything, I said don’t bring anything with real access.

I don’t care about privacy more than I care about having my gear confiscated and it taking months to return should they decide to make me thier day.

if I was travelling abroad I would not be bringing anything that has universal access to my accounts or data (primary phone for example). I would most likely get a new device loaded only with what I needed to get things done using a new account I transferred money into. For the most part I would not expect any issues but the laws at most borders, even US international borders generally say they can clean you out of all your data and force you to log into any devices you have with you. So the 2 countries mentioned are only part of the story when it comes to privacy when travelling international.

plenty of content on my screen, I do admit Im posting less everywhere right now while hunting for a job.

You still use data stores for that, either token databases or classic ones. Using the model itself for datamining is mostly novelty at this point due to the error.

its spreading quickly, like butt bacteria.

i like both the argon and the simple heatsink setups, either work great. i did end up adding an additional heatsink to the argon, the flat case does not provide great heat exchange in an enclosed space.

you can do passive cooling as well, just all depends on how hot the location gets.

why do this to yourself?

this one changes entirely depending on if you know what the image is from or not.

as time goes on i think techs that mark human made content will be more practical.

the only reason that read as “off” is because the poster did not put any time into it, prob just a simple question in a default chat somewhere. well made systems tuned to thier use are going to be surprisingly effective.

i think it may have been. might as well, even if you put in time writing its likely to be assumed AI anyway, esp as it improves.

pretty sure bing picked it up from one of the many apps that was doing it first like POE.

strange criticism

just start asking to talk to the “iron momma”

“USA Left” != “EU Left”

there are of course leftists like what you are thinking in the US but are a smaller or quieter group here due huge pushes the other way

fired up my IRC client a few weeks ago, very quiet there but still running! what servers are worth joining these days?

also worth noting that Element is built with similar ideals to IRC but with E2EE included.

Also important to remember that IRC has some privacy issues that you may want to address before connecting as any IRC user can get your connecting IP and ISP info.

just barons doing baron things.

you realize thats not likely to be a thing due to hosting costing money. file hosting in particular is a bigger bill each month while realizing only minimal utilization increase. if its to be 100% free its going to collapse eventually.

search for a subscription or ad-supported system you like. You aren’t looking for free software (what OSS is) you are looking for free service (increasingly rare on the internet)

parental controls across the board are an afterthought by these companies at best, even if the product is geared toward children. Internet is off on thier devices and they have a growing, curated intranet to enjoy.

this is also a common pose for abstract human form statues right down to the pointed handless arms. many logos used this.

you mean like running your own? nextcloud

agreed, every social network in existence was built linking shamelessly to nearly everything out there. You can still link reddit without giving them ad-rev, remember MOST of what they post is not OC either. A quick search and youll find how old most of the posts truly are and how so many of them originated elsewhere.

Use the tools they have to locate and extract.

Also worth noting: every popular social network started with adoption by the “nerds”

mainstream comes after then claims everything for themselves. annoying, but what we want.
