- Comment on RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years 1 hour ago:
Thing is putting the horrific privacy concerns aside it’s not like it’s a bad idea from a health perspective. Everybody being simply more aware of the things their body is doing is immensely helpful on a societal scale.
Problem is there aren’t any devices that are local only or otherwise truly private. Apple stores your data locally on your phone which is good, but there’s no guarantee it’ll always be that way.
Pass a law that protects wearable health data under HIPAA and I’d consider it.

- Comment on First time setting up a NAS 3 days ago:
UnRAID is likely the solution for you. It’s not raid, it’s JBOD (Just a bunch of disks) with a separate parity drive to give you fault tolerances you can use any combination of drives and expand over time. Only rule is the largest drive has to be your parity drive.
It’s got a lot of other things going for it that make it an especially good “First NAS” solution.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 4 days ago:
You’re straying from the point which is that this content exists, is widespread, and is ultimately the root cause.
The content does exist, but there’s no evidence it’s widespread and it’s definitely not the root cause. It looks widespread to you because you’ve surrounded yourself with it, and you were enabled to do so because of the abundance of manosphere content that you’re engaging with.
And to be clear I’m not criticizing your personal life. You are living the life you’ve chosen and I’m not passing judgement on it. It’s just perfectly representative of the fact that the problems you’ve explained that you’re facing were directly caused by decisions you made for yourself.

I can attest that that isn’t at all true. Your perception has been warped by these influencers very much on purpose to see conflict where there isn’t any. Society, or women, do not “hate men” just for being men. And this persecution complex and victim mentality is what’s destroying the minds of these young men today.

I just have to open TikTok to see this, so if researchers are not finding evidence then I’m very curious how that’s possible.
TikTok is incredibly algorithm driven and ultimately driven by the content you consume and interact with. When you go online and “see something everywhere” you have to look at it under the lens of what’s being targeted at you, vs what you encounter in more neutral spaces. When you open TikTok, the percentage of misandrist content you encounter is not representative of all content on the internet. No matter how niche or rare any given subject is, your algorithm will find it and server it to if it thinks you’ll engage with it, positively or negatively.
My TikTok contains zero misandrist content. In order for the researchers to experience what you experience, they’d have to build an algorithm profile tailored to that content. But that would be useless, because it would prove nothing. It’s a question of “Is the world full of misandrists out to get men” or “have the men surrounded themselves with misandrists”.
You have effectively done the latter. Now when I say this is “your fault” I don’t mean to say that you’ve gone and done this on purpose. The algorithms have a heavy hand to play in this of course and that’s a real issue. But at the end of the day, how the algorithms target you is a result of your engagement and behavior. The more you rail against your perceived world of misandry, the more the algorithm is going to inundate you with it. “Society” hasn’t done this to you, nor have women as a group of people.
The only way to try and approach this objectively is to minimize algorithmic influence and look at the saturation of this content in a more controlled setting. How often do you see misandry appear in content not specifically designed for you to experience it? That’s where you start to see the truth of the matter.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 5 days ago:
When you go on social media almost all discussion concerning men is about how they are the root of all evil, and everything they do is wrong. It’s a never ending stream of shaming with no clear way out. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t: If you try to defend yourself or talk about your own problems as a man, it is labeled as misogyny. “Be vulnerable and open up” they say but if you do it’s “don’t center men you privileged fuck” or “you’re being a crybaby”.
This is a sentiment often repeated by manosphere influencers and there’s no actual tangible evidence it exists and I think that’s the real issue. The influencers aren’t at all a symptom of a problem men are facing, they are selling men on a problem that doesn’t exist (for money).
I have never at any point in my life (which encompasses the entire lifespan of the internet) been subjected to any significant amount of misandry online or in person. When men talk about experiencing misandry online, it’s almost always in the context of them making comments on content geared towards a women’s issue and invalidating the women’s issue while simultaneously making it about themselves.
The real issue is solely man-created and exists solely in the mind, and the manosphere exists to tell you in its not in your mind, that’s it’s real, and that it’s everyone’s fault but your own. They monetize your attention, they sell you supplements and books, none of which are actually designed to help you solve your problems, because if you escape your cycle of self destruction, the money stops.

- Comment on how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days? 1 week ago:
I’m just using the app. I think it’s the nicest, most functional, and best looking music app outside of PlexAmp… however I absolutely agree with you that I really really wish it was just its own app… you can make this easier on yourself by editing the quick bar at the bottom of the app. When I open the Emby app it’s one tap to get to the music and then at least I don’t have to “dig through” it to get there.
I have an AppleTV4k Hooked up to my tv and 5.1 sound system so I can Airplay to that with my iPhone. Same goes for my HomePod in the kitchen when I’m cooking. If you’re not on iOS you can also cast to any device with an Emby app but there is less flexibility there.

We don’t need to stop saying E2EE is safe, because it is. There is no arbitrary usage. Either it’s E2EE. If a company lies to you and tells you it’s E2EE and it’s not E2EE that’s not arbitrary usage, it’s just a lie.
- Comment on An analysis of X(Twitter)'s new XChat features shows that X can probably decrypt users' messages, as it holds users' private keys on its servers 1 week ago:
I’m saying that a company can just arbitrarily decide (like you did) that the server is the “end” recipient (which I disagree with).
They cannot. Thats not how E2EE works. If they can arbitrarily decide that, then it isn’t E2EE.
That can be done for chat messages too.
It cannot, if you’re using E2EE.
You send the message “E2EE” to the server, to be stored there (like a file, unencrypted), so that the recipient(s) can - sometime in the future - fetch the message, which would be encrypted again, only during transport.
That’s not how E2EE works. What you are describing is encryption that is not end-to-end. E2EE was designed the solve the issue you’re describing.
This fully fits your definition for the cloud storage example.
It does not. Cloud storage is a product you’d use to store your data for your own use at your own discretion.
I would argue that the cloud provider is not the recipient of files uploaded there
It is if you uploaded files to it, like on purpose.
You’re confusing E2EE and non E2EE encryption.
- Comment on An analysis of X(Twitter)'s new XChat features shows that X can probably decrypt users' messages, as it holds users' private keys on its servers 2 weeks ago:
No it doesn’t, and I defined E2EE exactly one way.
It doesn’t matter if they store a copy of your message on an intermediary server, the keyword there is intermediary. They are not the recipient, so they should not have the ability to decrypt the content of the message, only the recipient should. If they are able to decrypt your message, it’s not E2EE.
A cloud drive is an entirely different case because the cloud drive is not an intermediary. They are the second E in E2EE. A cloud drive can have the ability to decrypt your data and still be E2EE because they are the recipient.

It’s not that I disagree with you on principle, I think you’re just kinda mixing up scenarios here, and the purpose of E2EE. E2EE refers to in transit data specifically. #1 should never be where your mind goes because E2EE does not imply your data will be encrypted at rest at the destination, that’s not what it’s for. E2EE is a critical factor when the untrusted facilitator party is between you and your intended recipient, not the recipient themselves.
Like in your scenario of a “cloud drive”, E2EE would not be a selling point of that service. The term you’re looking for in that scenario is “zero access encryption”.
Like you’re correct that E2EE does not imply that data stored in the cloud is encrypted at rest, but that’s because it isn’t meant to. Like this isn’t a dirty marketing trick. E2EE just needs to do what it says on the tin.

I mean TLS is also encryption in transit, it’s in the name.

I mean they’re encrypted in transit. They’re just not end to end encrypted.
- Comment on Jellyfin 10.11 RC1 Released 2 weeks ago:
Yeah it definitely does not work in this case. Spent many hours online looking through threads of people with the same problems, but no real solution. I think it has something to do with Unraids MFS implementation. Might be a little older. Only way to get it to work is have a script run every 10 minutes to check for the drive and if it’s not mounted, mount it. Works well enough.

TBH idk how people can convince themselves otherwise.
They don’t convince themselves. They’re convinced by the multi billion dollar corporations pouring unholy amounts of money into not only the development of AI, but its marketing. Marketing designed to not only convince them that AI is something it’s not, but also that that anyone who says otherwise (like you) are just luddites who are going to be “left behind”.

- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 3 weeks ago:
I am pretty rabidly anti-AI in most cases, but the use case for AI that I don’t think is a big negative is the distillation of information for simplification purposes. I am still somewhat against this in the sense that at the end of the day their summarization AI could hallucinate, and since they’ve admitted this is a solution to a problem of scale, then it’s not sensible to assume humans will be able to babysit it.
However… there is some inherent value to the idea that people will end up using AI to summarize Wikipedia using models of dubious quality with an unknown quantity of intentionally pre-trained bias, and therefore there is some inherent value to training your own model to present the information on your site in a way that is the “most free” of slop and bias.
