(and I’m not just saying that because that’s what a meth dealer would say)

Hmm sound like something a meth dealer would say

And yeah android does have a lockdown button, if you press and hold the power button, its in the options.

Alternatively you can quickly spam the wrong finger over the sensor a few times until it requires the pass code, which will work for iOS too.

Edit: after a quick test the “wrong finger” method has a a fatal flaw. After using the wrong finger a few times, the pass code UI appears. If you back out of it you can still use finger unlock. You have to get to the code UI and back out 2-3 times before it says too many failed attempts and forces you to use the pin.

Hey, I might not be any of those things, but I’m here!

Their “data tracking” was just telemetry to figure out what buttons people were actually pressing.

I use Ocenaudio for quick audio edits anyways.

I was thinking more random screen shots, but yeah I suppose there’s a ton visual information to identify a location in a picture.

Its like any other form of media/art…some people will like the medium and others won’t.

And just like other mediums there are pieces that are really good and ones that are really bad.

There are pieces that most people not invested in the medium won’t think much of and there are pieces that will resonate with nearly everyone.

I don’t hear macs are immune to virus as much, now I hear Linux is immune to virus.

But that probably because I don’t really know any mac users anymore…

Make sure you run any image you upload through a meta data eraser.

I like exiferaser on Android.

Until they ban that book for an obscure reference about “poor people saving money” and take it away.

Best off hiding them in “Bible - Abridged version heavily filtered by old white men to only include passages convenient for youth indoctrination and reinforcing raciest and homophobic ideology.” .

Oh wow, I can’t wait to buy a 32GB phone to have 7GB unusable due to google bloat and manufacture bloat, and fill it up with 3 videos recorded in the default 4k super max res with 6 underlying copies.

Min should be 64GB at this point, with a cap on manufacture bloat.

I’m gonna make it the only day that doesn’t end in Y, It will be called Satyrd’eh.

10 minute mail for anything I don’t want to sign in to ever again.

Otherwise I have a gmail I made for the purpose, the address is some generic words and numbers that don’t look like a complete spam (in case I need to send an email and hope to get a response).

Anime as the west knows it primarily comes from Japan, not China.

*there are animated shows that come from China, but if there’s a popular anime with blood its probably Japan.

Minecraft -> Bobbing off. That shit gives me motion sickness

Agreed, news needs to be held to a higher standard than it is now. There’s a whole list of journalist code of ethics that basically distils to be truthful, minimize harm, be independent, and be accountable.

*some example of minimize harm;

• don’t dig through a celebrities trash looking for condoms
• if there’s an accident you don’t show pictures of the dismembered victims
• don’t identify victims of abuse
• don’t claim an accusation as fact until proven (this why every news stations says “allegedly” all the time)

I hate those arbitrary cut offs for aid. Oops, you got a raise and now make $28,100 sorry no more medicare. It locks people into low paying jobs because if they make too much, they instantly loose all the benefits that their little raise doesn’t match.

if we’re not going to do free-for-all, it should at least be on a very large scale,

make less then 28k = 100% covered,

29, 99% covered

30, 98% covered

…

All the way up to when 128k = 0% covered

(You’d have fix healthcare prices too, procedures/medicines are priced so insurance looks like they are doing you a favor “you only had to pay $700 for this $25,000 procedure and the $600 follow up medicine will only cost you $100 a week”)

100% agree. Should be opt-in per email.

I assume its more of it subscribes to your newsletter same as a user would, so when you send out the newsletter to “group 1”, the google thing is also on that mailing list.

And yes, should absolutely be opt-in, per mailing list, per email.

So this is another headline designed to get a kneejerk reaction outta people.

Basically if I’m a store that sends out a weekly email to subscribers, Google will “read” that email for SEO purposes.
