Maybe the data brokers might delete based on the requests, but it seems this is a lot deeper than anything the GDPR could fix as the data would be reuploaded and updated, because the data comes from the “analytics” and “diagnostics” SDKs, being uploaded to data brokers and unified under the advertisement ID from google and apple devices/browsers.

I think this could only be broken by not using the advertisement ID (that was promised to help anonimize the advertisement data) and block all the requests by DNS blocking on the whole device, like with Ublock Origin + Hosts file + pihole/nextdns/adguard, etc.

Edit: also blocking cwsystem.com, cwtapp.com, cobwebsapp.com and subdomains, because they can host malware made from the company that owns this system.

Another boring dystopia:

That Terra Australis going wild in there, or is it the flat earth walls?

The natural, the real, everything like that doesn’t exist and have never existed. Thousand years ago we made bananas lose their seeds and we changed how society works I don’t know how many times.

If we didn’t created something, we changed it until it’s unrecognisable.

On one of my phones I do this plus delete/disable everything from google, except play services and play services framework (with everything disabled in there, only cloud messaging enabled). For apps on the play store I just download from aurora store.

The only thing I needed the play store for was to register 2FA for the government app on that phone. On the rest, it didn’t make a difference.

On another phone I use microg and it works fine too. I think attestation (safetynet) and disabled root and dev tools will make everything work fine, I put my hosts file using adb in recovery mode and no application has noticed. No banking app, nothing noticed.

I didn’t know that Android would block installs from “unauthorized sources” using play protect, I thought it would be hardcoded into play services or even on the android images.

Edit: for such a “secure” implementation, etc, it seems very weak, ngl

Probably.

I think almost all calls these days are scams, like phishing, advertisements, voice cloning, the usual nigerian prince (he’s still alive).

Ultimately I noticed a lot of new scams running around and some gov.br websites serving a lot of scams (they existed before only as redirects to scams, now they seem to be hosted in there too). A friend of mine tried to delete a 2FA token from her phone and got calls about that from a completely different “agency”.

Seems like the script kiddie bar got higher…

Edit: But on this case, the article doesn’t give any source

Confusing times.

The translated (by the mozilla translation) article:

CachyOS is based in Germany, with founders in Germany and Russia. Laws on age verification do not exist there.

So the bottom line is: CachyOS does nothing in terms of age verification.

CachyOS uses the SystemD framework. There are no plans to stop using it or use an alternative. CachyOS does not implement anything to do with age verification via SystemD. SystemD does not even have age verification.

So the bottom line is: there is no age verification with SystemD.

Age verification:

    CachyOS is not located in areas where this is an issue.
    CachyOS is not taking any steps in this regard.

SystemD:

    CachyOS uses SystemD.
    If you do not want to use SystemD, find a different distribution.

STOP asking for these two things.
STOP attacking people for these two things.
STOP being radical on these two issues.

Should anything ever change in these two things, there will be a corresponding announcement.

Garuda Linux will not introduce age verification measures because the jurisdictions to which Garuda Linux is subject do not have laws requiring an age check.

And, on top of that, reality doesn’t exist and have never existed, as it’s our construction of what we perceive reality to be and this natural reality is actually created.

Gift economy goes brrr.

Edit: got the wrong thing in there

Idk, i think it should have reparations, like, if for hundreds of years, robbing, killing, enforcing servitude of tens of millions of people for the enrichment of a few countries should make these countries pay. It gave these countries the backbone to todays “welfare states”, the industrial revolution was kickstarted on the cotton and sugar fields that these enslaved people worked, etc, etc, etc.

I don’t care about the legality, the wording, the whatever, it seems pretty clear to me that this should happen, and them giving this response shows that basically they don’t care and never cared.

Looking at these xmpp servers, ejabberd + a whatsapp bridge seems good to decouple a little bit from the official whatsapp client, thanks for the recommendation!

Vaultwarden seems useful. Going to install it later, thanks!

I’m going to check jellyfin! Thanks

I just use a spray oil (micro oil? idk) on the rails and door hinges and sometimes on the key hole (rarely), it may be a not good option, but I do once a year and it always works. But I’m not a technician.
