I use eufy as well. The only issue they recently had was that thumbnails were stored in their cloud if you chose to enable them on notifications. If you just select the text option, none of the footage is stored online and everything is local.

I think someone who has the self determination to go ahead with this expects to not survive. Doing it and unexpectedly surviving and having to live a likely painful rest of your life is different.

They download apps for all kinds of bullshit because all their friends and people they follow are on there. They won’t install a messaging app if none of the people they interact with are there. It’s not specific to messaging. I was able to convince my immediate family to move to Signal just for our family group chats. It’s not much but it’s a start.

It’s crazy how an incredibly huge tsunami was sloshing around for 9 days and no one was able to trace and find it fast enough to capture any video.

Tilda because you can roll it down from the top of your screen with one key press.

Ok the push notification pop up started to piss me off halfway down lol. But yeah, this is a cool demonstration.

Like the “Come to Brazil!” comments on every music video or concert on youtube.

I just saw a video a couple of days ago about one of those children who was adopted by an American family sometime in the 70s. The family gave him up to foster care within 6 years like he was a toy that you could just throw away when you don’t want it anymore. The worst part is they didn’t file his paperwork correctly so he was never naturalized. When he tried to correct it as an adult, he was deported instead because the background check that was triggered found a previous conviction as a teen (broke into his abusive 3rd foster family’s house to get his things). He couldn’t assimilate back in Korea and ended up moving to Mexico because the culture was more familiar.

Yeah, this is isn’t a “new level” of incoherence, it’s always been like that. It’s just being amplified more now that his opponent isn’t having age-related issues.

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Glad I held back from suggesting Firefish for my wife. I’ve been slowly trying to convince her to jump to the fediverse for microblogging and figured to have her try Firefish simply because it’s prettier than Mastodon. Guess it’s back to ol’ Mastodon.

Plan? Just do it.

I haven’t looked myself, but maybe see if the Big 4 audit companies accept entry level roles?

The only barrier to entry is creating a usb installer. Once you’re past that, there’s nothing more than basic computer knowledge to do what you need to do. By basic, I mean knowing how to use a computer, so you should be good. Just choose a user friendly distro like Mint and you won’t need to open the terminal at all unless something really bad happens.

My condolences to the people who have to install it to write an article about it.

FWIW, this was debunked when CMG originally made the claim. It was a marketing guy overselling their product and they had to correct their statement. They use the same info data brokers collect, and phones actively listening to you is not true.

Not directed at you specifically, but it’s the same with IT and dev people but with security/privacy.

Lol and the two biggest are close in color as well. At least make those two clear distinct colors.

Both links are paywalled, but if I’m remembering correctly, that company (CMG) eventually had to correct their claim that phones were actively listening to everything you say. It was an overzealous marketing guy trying to oversell. They admitted in the end that they use the same info that data brokers have on you based on data gathered from your browsing and other activity, not from actively listening to you.

Siri for example is designed in a way where it “listens” for your voice to call it, but that mechanism is completely separate from the actual Siri that connects to the internet to understand you.

Yeah it’s wild that a lot of users likely don’t even know reddit is a website. They only know it as an app on their phone.
