They are usually too cheap to even have a wireless connection. Most the ones I saw rely on microsd cards

I have no problems with people recording me. Frankly, we should be doing more Sousveillance, as governments and corporate footage has a terrible track record of mysteriously disappearing whenever it’s convenient to them. But that’s not it. This is yet another corporation using peoples faces as camera mounting points. Fuck them. If you need a spycam for some reason, be a normal
creephuman being, and them off aliexpress or something - Comment on Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns 1 day ago:
Stares nervously at waybar’s memory usage
It’s nowhere near the electron level, but we have bloat here as well. 62 megs to show a plain line of text, 5mb to append text to a file, 20mb to query dns, another 20 to reconnect to wifi, etc, and it adds up. I used to host sites on 32mb ram, play 3d games on 64mb ram, now even fitting just a bare terminal system on 128mb cloud slice is problematic.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 days ago:
Do you guys turn your graphics settings to lowest
Pretty much, yeah, lows whenever possible and mediums whenever lows are way too low (i.e. shadows, where low usually means pre-baked only, while medium does dynamic, yet blurry, shadows), and all post-processing disabled. Highs and ultras never provide any tangible difference during gameplay and their use is seemingly mostly limited to benchmarks.
and most modern anti-aliasing too
TAA can eat a dick. I’d take staircases over ghost edges and flickering shadows any day every day.

California L. Outsourcing child care to random people who are not even US citizens. Thats like forcing knife manufacturers to make the knives child-safe.
On a sidenote, while looking up the history of actual legal cases involving children in California, I stumbled upon a story of Joseph Hall, son of abusive, alcoholic, insignia wearing, salute throwing, nazi activist piece of shit Jeffrey Hall, whom, at age 10, he shot in his sleep after being given a gun by him, and for which he was put into juvenile detention centers for 12 years until he turned 23, instead of… idk… being declared a national hero and given a compensation for the society failing upon him.

Just 15172 civilian killed in Ukraine, according to UN, though. About 40k injured. That’s the lower estimate, yes, but, in comparison, the USA has committed more than 100k confirmed civilians kills in just Iraq alone.

Yeah. The study part is all a lie anyway. Schools and colleges are all about instilling obedience into kids. The only actual learning happening is either natural or coming from young teachers who bought in a lie and haven’t been disillusioned yet.

Coming from shoes off culture I’m considering giving shoes on a shot. But I still don’t quite understand how it’s supposed to work. I assume you’re not that savage to get in bends in shoes, so are you supposed to keep them near the bed? And lace them every morning when you get up? Or use simpler footwear that doesn’t require lacing like crocs or something? Isn’t that then technically wearing slippers outside rather than wearing shoes inside?

This is… completely normal amount of accounts? I am at 1083 saved in my password manager. Admittedly it’s a bit inflated with things like crypto wallets and few dozen passwords for 192.168.1.1 for every router I ever saw. But then, I also been on account deletion spree for a year now and been avoiding making new accounts if at all possible, otherwise I’d easily be over 1500

If watching Ukraine war footage has taught me anything, it’s:
- Bring grenades, the more the better
- Anything worth blowing up, is worth blowing up at least 8 times.
- Everything is worth blowing up
- Finish them off by chucking an AT mine at them

Eh, the privacy trend was also s bandwagon. They removed a ton of power user features and touting privacy with things like enchanced tracker protection which could’ve as well be done with an addon. And they integrated pocket in at around the same time.

I honestly hope that it’s just something she made up to get rid of me after she lost interest for some reason. Maybe she fell for someone else, maybe I offended her in some way, or maybe she was actually telling the truth. Unfortunately, that I’ll never get to know.
- Comment on A lamb amongst wolves 3 months ago:
Well, as a medical student she was quite busy, especially given that she was also working part-time to support herself coming from a different city with barely any support from her parents. So, getting an appointment with her at said work was a rare opportunity to get a little bit extra time together. Her job was as a laser hair removal specialist, and there are only so many places you can get your hair removed from. And I guess she wasn’t very used to working with dudes because it didn’t end up well down there. I got burn marks and had terrible rash for a whole month afterwards. Not sure which one of us was evil, though, but I lashed out and broke up with her when on the only aligning day off for both of us for months to come, she decided to go to a place I told her I wanted to take her to, and do the things I told her I’d like to do together… alone, because, apparently, the stars told her to do so. Usually girls being into astrology that much is a huge deal-breaker for me, but I admit I got so blinded by her beauty and gentle voice that I totally didn’t even register that she was.
inb4: No, it wasn’t creepy, we’ve had a relationship for a few months at that point and it was her idea. And yeah, we didn’t actually have to perform the procedures, but I guess neither of us was bright enough to propose that we don’t 😂

Yet another reminder that all the mentions of Dunning-Kruger are a better display of it’s perceived effect than the original study ever was. In the original study, people correctly predicted their performance relative to others, but the discrepancy was in the scale of that difference, which can be attributed to numerous factors. Dumb people just took it as “stupid people think they’re smart” and run around saying “Dunning-Kruger” to sound smarter… oh the irony.
And yes, given two mentions in the above text, this is, indeed, a suicide by words.

The classic card payment and subscription model is actually insane. You literally have to beg companies to stop taking money from you. Good thing it is changing with more modern payment systems - you literally just stop paying for services you don’t need and it’s on them to stop providing them to you. Nothing is ever charged off my account without an explicit action from me.

No, not really, kind of. VPN protocols are cut regardless if it’s domestic or not. You can still use something like tunneling or proxies, but at this point you’d be better off just connecting to a box abroad directly.
- Comment on Russia targets WhatsApp and pushes new 'super-app' as internet blackouts grow 6 months ago:
It is indeed total ass. Reporting from the ground here, mobile internet is effectively dead - cloudflare is banned and most vpn protocols are cut after 20kb. There are still ways, like ssh forwarding, amnezia and zapret, but the trend is towards blocking all encrypted traffic going abroad. Complete outages are also common as well.
Wired is a bit better, I see disruptions frequently between my ru and non-ru nodes, but it’s usually between two hosts and relayable, no complete ban like on mobile.
Max is on track of becoming mandatory. It already is for school students and their parents. Gosuslugi (gov services) already show an option to use it for auth, there are alrwady deeper integrations on the way that would make it a requirement.
It is pretty openly spied upon. I’m not touching that shit with a six foot pole, but there were already arrests over things said in voice-calls and I’ve even heard reports of FSB agents interjecting right in the middle of the call, saying they’re being too annoying and cutting it off.
