  Reading about the ELIZA effect as well is a good way to understand how those who embrace “social norms” can be enamored by machine-generated statements without questioning them at all…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Belt Holster for USB Power Supply⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Valid, but many backpacks don’t have those dedicated headphone holes. I was thinking of something that could clip to the shoulder straps (or I guess this existing design could be adapted for MOLLE-style rigging as well with simple measurement).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Belt Holster for USB Power Supply⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This actually would be kind of neat as a backpack atrachment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sell your RAM, and quickly go from COD to the real world.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot more armored vests and helmets that can stop a .22LR have been widely adopted though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sell your RAM, and quickly go from COD to the real world.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really, especially if you are willing to build one yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ali got the Wiki "was"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  NonCredibleDefense seems to be faster than the news communities sometimes. The shitposts must flow.

  Someone might want to smuggle him to Brazil or something, where the suits can’t touch him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pokémon Winds and Waves announced, releasing 2027⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  DS generations are probably the last ones worth playing - although hard to emulate on a phone with comfortable controls, I’d imagine.

  Emudeck is pretty easy to work with (although be careful where you get your “switch dependencies”).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The wireless communication protocol will still be able to be intercepted. A physical port for data transfer will probably be too dangerous to the subject and prone to contamination (and infection).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but the issue is intent and actual usage. I don’t want to fuck up my neck by always looking down at a 30deg angle, so I do try to view things on my phone more level with my face. I avoid pointing it directly at people, but I can’t change how others would interpet that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Shoot, I should 3d print one for mine. I don’t use my camera for much anyway, and better protection from impacts would be nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Green light!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing personal, but those glasses are going to come off your face and straight onto the asphalt when I get the notification.

  Don’t buy meta shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm… I wonder if there’s any solid way to detect a camera lens being in active focus or use. This app works by parsing Bluetooth traffic, but a person locally recording on their phone wouldn’t have such a trail. Is there any reliable way to detect a camera lens reading exposed light?

  “Don’t do meta, kids.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modern parenting means apps for sports, school and more. Where is the data going?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Higher education =/= tech literacy, as any enterprisr IT worker can tell you.

  From a databroker (legitimate or not) statistically, your entire identity goes for less than 5 bucks in a bundle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New protogen art⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you give a display headpats? Or does that just leave smudges all over the screen?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All U.S. Social Security numbers may need to be changed following a massive breach that is already being investigated as a national threat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To a degree, it already is business as usual for these firms (look at their underinvestment in IT infrastructure). The issue for the self-hosting community is that not enough of the population is technologically literate enough to understand the risks of using these platforms (insert any Meta/Bytedance/Microsoft/Amazon platform here), and the critical mass of users will remain perpetually vulnerable.

  With that being said, for those with the literacy required, self-hosting is a secure breath of fresh air.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good news, UK Discord users, we're part of a Peter Thiel-linked data collection "experiment"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually it’s not because there are third party clients available that you can use without any interactions with google services. I’m using Clerotri on GrapheneOS right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welp straight to the bin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if that’s because of the microplastic contamination more than the actual salt lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stoat removes all LLM-generated code following user criticism⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Transparency increases trust, and this is definitely a step in the right direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta really wants you to believe social media addiction is 'not a real thing'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy is addictive in the same way that attending a routine community center event is addictive - you’re happy to come back and see old and new faces, and contribute towards keeping the conversations going.

  If you want to set up a new event (instance/community), you can do it yourself, in your own environment, without external pressure.

  I would call Facebook, Reddit, IG, etc… more like a casino. You pull constant refreshes for dopamine hits, are feed a stream of ads and content that ostracises you if you don’t stay with the current, and have no control over your personal data or any works you create.

  We’re slowly snowballing some of them here, luckily :)

  Is that the compressed version? Kiwix’s latest copy is roughly 100GB including images.
