  Not sure if thats a good idea. Are you gonna trust a random number on a thrid-party website to potentially reveal private information to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the problem is: what they call a “Tip” is more like a “Bid”/“Offer”. People see “Tip” and thus believe its optional, I mean it technically is optional, but the base pay is like $2.50 so its customarily required. I think for even the shortest delivery of a place 10 minutes away with a 2 mile distance is supposed to tip at least $5. and if the delivery is done in 30 minutes, that’s an effective wage of $15/hour, that is, if they get orders back-to-back.

  Customers don’t understand how this works and puts $0 as the “Tip”, buts its really a “Bid”, effectively making anyone who is willing to accept the order, to work below minimum wage. And also new drivers doesn’t understand how this works and acceepts orders without a good enough “Bid”, effectively working below minimum wage.

  I mean, why even call it a “Tip” if its customarily required, just change the base pay to $7.50. So for an order that takes 30 minutes, its an effective wage of $15/house, assuming they get orders back-to-back. Much less confusion amongst both customers and drivers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has the USA turned into an oligarchy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, no country truely had 10/10 democracy.

  The US literally started out from people in chains, but eventually free the enslaved people (with the prison exemption), then black men could vote, then women.

  Segregation was legal, then it it was outlawed.

  Civil Right Act was passed

  The level of racism began to deminish, not completely gone, but deminishing

  I would say the US was at 1/10 democracy at the beginning, it was at 5/10 before trump, then it was at 4/10 right after Jan-6, now its at 4.25/10 (because some judicial appointments were made by biden as a counterbalance to republican judges).

  Is it a oligarchy. Not really. I would say it’s a democracy in which rich people have an advantage in money and influence. So I guess you could call it a semi-oligarchy. Because in a real oligarchy, the media would’ve been censored, and you wouldn’t be seeing my comment, you wouldn’t be able to ask such question, there’d be no free(ish) internet access. There’s be no somewhat protected union activity. There’s be no somewhat protected protests. There are often violations to those rights, but back then, it was way worse.

  We never really had a true 10/10 democracy, but as time goes on, it tends to trend toward becoming more democratic. (We’ll see what happens with Project 2025. Could be just another period of recession as it has happened many times throughout US history, or it could be Weimar 1933, only time will tell)

  without needing to create separate accounts for each instance.

  Umm… thats now how it works. One account is the gateway to every instance (as long as it’s not defederated). I think you might need to do some googling. 😉

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't trust them with anything :/⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, their constitution was so bad, they got a contingent election on the 3rd presidential election, and had to fix the “electors casting two votes” issue.

  Also, wtf is a supreme court only needing senate confirmation? Why the fuck does the house not have a say? I thought “Big State Small State” balance, seems like small states have more say in supreme court justices. (oh yea, seems like a feature, not a bug, just as the founders intended)

  Also, why is the number of seats not defined, I mean why have courts if any president could potentially just pack the court?

  Also second amendment is so stupid. Worst amendment ever. Where the fuck is my god-given right to own a doomsday device? Why is it not included in the second amendment? Ya fucking tyrant. The country is already ruined form the start, fucking Federalists ruining everything. What next, trampling on my right to own a planet destroyer device?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any BlueTooth apps that can connect two (or even more) inactive phones to talk with each other as if they're Walkie Talkies?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a “voice chat”, but Briar exist for text chat, and sending images in a one to one conversation. You can also have forums and group chats. If you have like a bunch phones with brair installed, you can have a mesh network for communications, using Bluetooth. Also works via connecting thw same Wifi network or via the internet through Tor. Think of like protests, but the government shut down the internet and cell towers, with enough proters intalling Briar, you can still organize “off the grid”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bird flu⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is in the US during those early days, at the time, the only approved ones are all MRNA 2-dose vaccines, very likely Pfizer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bird flu⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yea, Vaccines are not 100% safe, the point is that Vaccines will protect more than 99% of people, unfortunately there are cases where there are adverse reactions. My cousin had some heart problems like hours after getting the 2nd dose and and to go to the ER and had to get some surgery (idk all the details), and had to spend several days in ICU, then still have heart issues and weakness even after gettinf discharged from the hospital, have trouble even going to school. Caused a bit of vaccine skepticism amongst my extended family, not everyone gotten fully vaccinated at the time, I’m not sure if they ever got it eventually, or if that incident caused too much fear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think we might be leaving the "boring" part of this dystopia⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Organ donation already exist. Doctors tried to kill someone that was still alive to get their organs.

  I mean why save someone if they could just let them die do they can harvest the organs. Same thing with this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think we might be leaving the "boring" part of this dystopia⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t this just like organ donation, but instead of organ, its the entire body?

  (I mean, provided, that the deceased has consented to this before dying.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I cannot tell you a way my life has genuinely gotten better since the advent of "smart" phones.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Smartphone can be used to organize protests.

  See: Hong Kong Protests (they didn’t suceed in their goals, but still, they did put up some resistance)

  Also, union activity. Encrypted chat apps to prevent employers finding out what you are up to. Prevents emplpyers preemptively fireing you before you legally form the union and get legal protection. Make strike-breaking harder.

  Encrypted communications is very useful for people in abusive relationships. Smartphone cameras and microphone can record evidence of abuse. And data connection could also be used to save it to cloud and prevent deletion of evidence. Also, while not a “smart” phone specific feature, text to 911 is very useful if the abusive spouse is nearby and you need to call for help, and need to keep quiet. GPS positioning makes it easier to locate you.

  Hell fucking yes. Especially if you are in an authoritarian country. Use both VPN and Tor, don’t use real names. Even in democratic countries, still use VPN, since power is always shifting. What’s legal today might not be legal tomorrow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Encryption while unattended: Lockdown Mode vs Off?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not worried about nation state attacks, but am considering the vector of a tech savy thief

  I’m not an expert in tech, but I’m pretty sure no non-state actors would be able to bypass the security on most modern up-to-date smartphones. Most thiefs (even tech-savy ones) wouldn’t have those advanced cellebrite devices, that are not only very expensive, they only sell it to verified law enforcement organizations.

  So I have a debate in my head right now about how I should handle devices stored unattended in vehicles. The criteria:

  So why are you leaving devices unattended? 🤔

  Also, not sure if you know this, or if this is even gonna be useful to you, but there is an app that you can use to wipe the phone if it hasn’t been unlocked for X amount of time, the X time which you can set, also has decoy quick menu setting that shows as an “airplane mode” that is a fake that would trigger a wipe if a theif tried to turn on airplane mode (in order to avoid a remote wipe or getting tracked). Also has option to trigger a wipe if any data transfer device or cable is plugged in (power charging without data transfers dont apply). So I guess you can set it up so if a theif connect it to a computer, the wipe gets triggered.

  Its called Wasted available on F-Droid and fully open source (as with all F-Droid apps).
