- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 2 days ago:
I’m checking right now, but it’s kind of unclear. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like Librewolf picks and chooses what to use from Firefox, yeah?
I’m also looking into the TOR browser.

- Comment on Why am I getting gore on my racism app? 3 days ago:
I posted this in the other link, from the article:
In an email, a Meta spokesperson told 404 Media “We have fixed an error that caused some users to see content in their Instagram Reels feed that should not have been recommended. We apologize for the mistake.” They said that the problem does not have anything to do with Meta’s recent announcement that it would loosen some content moderation rules.
To prove that this was actually happening, I sent Meta six links to graphic reels. These included two videos of people getting shot in the face, a video of a dead body with no context or obvious news value, a person getting lit on fire, the account called “PeopleDeadDaily,” and the tower of terror video. None of these videos have been deleted.
One of the many problems preventing people from actually holding Meta to account for any of this is that everyone’s feed is so incredibly personalized. Like I said, because we report on the darker corners of the internet, my Instagram feed is full of horrific things on a daily basis, which is probably not everyone’s experience.

- Comment on YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up. 3 days ago:
That’s hilarious, the jury wasn’t fucking around. I wonder if the US uses that law since we were under the crown at the time? Did we inherit any laws from before we claimed independence? I never thought about that.

I think the judge can override the jury though, right? Ianal, but I thought the judge could do that for any case.

So, I watched the whole thing and they mentioned castopod (podcasts) and owncast (live streaming). He also mentioned hashtags to find what you’re looking for. Is there a search engine for across the fediverse? For example, that would be amazing to go there and find hashtags from pixelfed and castopod and owncast even if they don’t communicate with each other. It’s not about instance finding, but about topic finding. That search engine would be the bomb or does it already exist?

Having been one of under 10 people on the bad place getting people to mask up during the pandemic, it is absolutely positive to post about things. I provided proof from before the pandemic about how masks can help and which types. It was proof that saved lives and thank you to a little known mask company for posting that unknowingly helping.
You have to pick your battles and post only about what they’re doing and saying while acknowledging the following things:
-
They want to “The opposition party is the media,” Steve Bannon, who helped run Trump’s 2016 campaign, told PBS Frontline five years ago. “And the media can only — because they’re dumb and they’re lazy — they can only focus on one thing at a time.” So the solution, per Bannon? Overwhelm them.
-
“All we have to do is flood the zone,” he said. “Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never — will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity.”
- Also post ways to help around your community so people also can do something.
- Realize that they’re trying to privatize our government, being shocked at the way they’re doing it or talking about it does nothing.

Does anyone know a range for using their POD? I see they connect with Etsy, so I went there and tried to get a price idea and everything is incredibly cheap. Is this an example of using a POD print farm or do they print them themselves?
- Comment on Britain Orders Apple to Build a Backdoor Into Your iPhone 3 weeks ago:
Global access is wild, basically it means if the UK could force this that any five eyes country would then have the same access without needing to look bad to their citizens.
Doesn’t the US already have that backdoor? From what you’re saying, the UK probably already has access? Not attacking, sincerely asking.

A closer look at physical activity and metabolism
You can’t easily control the speed of your basal metabolic rate, but you can control how many calories you burn through physical activity. The more active you are, the more calories you burn. In fact, some people who seem to have a fast metabolism are probably just more active — and maybe fidget more — than others.
To burn more calories, the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends the following:
Aerobic activity. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day. If you want to lose weight, maintain weight loss or meet specific fitness goals, you may need to exercise more.
Moderate aerobic exercise includes activities such as brisk walking, biking, swimming and mowing the lawn.
Vigorous aerobic exercise includes activities such as running, heavy yardwork and aerobic dancing.
Strength training. Do strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. Strength training can include use of weight machines, your own body weight, heavy bags, resistance tubing or resistance paddles in the water, or activities such as rock climbing.
No magic bullet
Don’t look to dietary supplements for help in burning calories or losing weight. Products that claim to speed up metabolism usually don’t live up to their claims. Some may cause bad side effects.

I agree, but it’s not the main point. They may have few options when they can’t get their expunged records to go away.

They’re a comedy show on wheels. They always lighten my mood when I see them. I’m a little smug too, knowing if I had that much money to blow, it wouldn’t be on one of those.

Mine was the same browser, but I clear all cookies for every time I’m on. That might have something to do with it for me. I agree, it does seem less baked than it should be. It’s a side project, so I’m trying to be patient. I was just excited for a tags and groups for modding.

I was hoping for one that could show you the feed. It might be a lot to ask since reddit didn’t implement it until relative late. It didn’t save any of my groups anyway, so I might wait to switch until some of the bugs get worked out. Still, it’s a great UI.

It’s awesome. Am I being stupid though? Is there a way to open your feed with a only the a group selected? For instance, if I want to open all of my grouped politics feeds only, I can’t seem to do that.
