Speaking from personal experience, most likely immigrants who don’t know much about us politics and still watch news and shows from their home country or in their own language.

Growing up, even though I was born in the USA, I’d only listen to what my parents heard (until I was a teen), watched what they watched (Univision, etc), are mostly Salvadorian food at home.

The rules to remember when this is happening but before it gets that bad:

1. remember your own advice
2. have you tried turning it off and on again?
3. have you explained the issue to the ducky?
4. have you eaten?

Rule 1 is the hardest tho

I mean, seems pretty pseudoanonymous to me, unless Musk had another kid he named apj2k36 or something.

Or agave syrup apparently

This isn’t unsweetened tea either. It’s probably very sweet considering how high in the order agave syrup is

Forgot that runs on Fairphone.

Yeah, Calyx is the better option for it

You can install /e/ on the Fairphone

I think he hired someone who found an exploit that then allowed a brute force technique at it actually got unlocked . The person hired got a percentage of the money.

With his monkey paw luck, he’d find it just as Bitcoin crashes and loses nearly all value somehow

This brings up some questions. Like how realistic does the game look to the person trapped inside? Are censors that the game normally has still active? What about live service games or MMOs? Do you die if they go out of business and they take down the servers?

But most importantly, how do I know I’ll actually be uploaded into that video game?

I don’t, so maybe that’s the reason?

Seems other commentators outside USA are saying similar things.

If true, I wouldn’t trust this app at all, because it just be breaking GDPR somehow

I don’t have it on a phone a with play services.

I’m also in the EU in case that matters

Absol? (j)

I think it supports Galaxy S9

I don’t know about other tech companies, but if you run a local AI you at least won’t have to worry about that. You don’t need a high end computer if you only use it sparingly anyway.

Otherwise, stick to open source or privacy friendly tech as much as possible and you’ll avoid him pretty well. Linux software alternatives are definitely not supported by him I’m sure (like Krita, GIMP, and Libre Office).

Email is a bit tricker with the news about Proton, but I think Tuta and Posteo are alright. Again, this could also be something that can be run on a local mini server if you’re interested.

If it’s about the phone, I suggest either a used Pixel with Graphene, used Samsung with /e/ if you have the tech know how, or a Murena’s new phone (if it’s available yet where you are - if not let me know), or if you have the money, a Fairphone 5.

I can also help you out with setting up non-cloud stuff if you want, like security cams if you’re interested.

For smart home automation you can do Home Assistant , which now also has pre-made hardware available (could be useful if you need to control/ automate grow lights, sprinklers, or chicken coop heaters).

In the last decade (not counting fish & hunting) I’ve known the name of every animal I’ve eaten and I or my partner slaughtered it.

I misread that at first and thought it included wild animals.

Which made me think of a moose eating your turnips and you glaring at him and saying “uuuu, Ricky, when I catch you Ricky…”

Nah, they just made the triangle bigger with AI (/s)
