sometime i even turn of mic and cam acsess on my phone

I have some bad news for you. Whatever software switch your phone has to “turn off” the mic, can still be bypassed by either the manufacturer or an attacker that gets root control of the device.

The only way to ensure a mic isn’t listening is by either unsoldering it or shorting the + and - contacts. I mean in the case of a phone you can probably do the toothpick thing and then test it and repeat until sound actually quiets, but note that phones can actually listen to you by via the accelerometer :/

I would spend the money on a VPN instead because:

1. DLL links are always down, torrents can die too, but overall they are much more reliable, you can just have your torrent search engine to organise by seeders.

2. Much more content on torrents

3. Much higher quality, DLLs at least back when I used those had terrible quality.

4. Much easier to manage 100 downloads at the same time, sure Jdownloader exists, but…

5. RSS downloaded, you can get your favourite anime torrent or RSS and qbittorrent will download it for you every week.

6. Security, if you download software, popular torrent websites are much more trusted and moderated and you have less probably of getting malware.

7. If you subscribe to a DLL site you can use that single website, if you torrent you can download from many websites.

8. You can use the VPN for other stuff.

As much as I like Librewolf as concept and ideology, I can’t keep thinking that if there’s a Firefox 0day, Firefox gets patched first, Librewolf later, and I’m potentially exposed for longer. That’s why I prefer to stick with upstream.

There’s ffshare on f-droid, but I’ve never tried it, don’t know if it works.

Interesting, but this technology seems really scary, imagine being interrogated with a machine that translates thoughts into words, now try not to think of a sandwich.

May not be the most polite thing to do, but when outside I always wear headphones walk at fast pace and don’t hear anyone no matter who speaks to be.

I’ve noticed that as long as I have my headphones on, even if they aren’t playing, most ppl won’t speak to me anyway.

Oh well. I’m just glad I can access all my files on NTFS

Shhh! Don’t give them ideas…

You’re responsible for the technology you create.

So if I create a knife I’m responsible if someone uses it for murder?

Maybe I should implement a camera on the knife that records your kitchen 24/7 to make sure the knife wont be used for murder, is that OK with you?

Unionize workers in Microsoft.

If you “unionize” microsoft and keep windows non-free software, the employees get better wages, apart from that the users still get spied upon, and the means of production (windows source code) still under ownership of a small group of people, (and just like any other operating system or knife, can) still used for nefarious purposes.

Even if the workers at the microsoft commune decide to made windows non-spyware anymore, there is still no way to actually be sure since there’s no way to verify it.

Also, proprietary software isn’t only a prime example of private ownership of the means of production, but also a prime example of artificial scarcity.

As long as it’s “Free Software” instead of “Free people” you’re playing on the side of the tech oligarchy.

Free software is a requirement for free people, if you don’t understand that, then you really have no understanding of how technology works, of how people work and how freedom works.

I recommend reading the following article: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html

“I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee”

And they are still missing the most important menu item “Stop after this track”

If you were the one being underpaid to do his job, you would do the same.

Empty spaces > What shall we do now?

“What shall we do now?” Is basically the part 2 of “Empty Spaces” but was removed from the album as it wouldn’t fit the vinyl.

The song is still present in the film, and a boxset if I recall

Your OS doesn’t, put the messaging apps that your friends/family/coworkers use do.

And no, you can’t convince them to switch messager, I tried.

I’m something of a musician myself, and it saddens me that I can’t find any active music production or audio engineering communities on Lemmy.

BTW, would be interesting having a community dedicated to free licensed/copyleft/0cc/creative commons/non profit music.

OMG! I’ve been looking for something like this for quite some time!

I will try this as soon as I have time. Thank you!

Because US news are the funniest and the most absurd.

Just an anecdote, but every time I try to create an account on Instagram I get automatically banned after account creation before even login-in for the first time.

If I recal they then ask me for a copy of my ID to confirm my name is real (which it isn’t).

I have no idea how they know, I’ve tried literally with different residential IPs, different emails and even on brand new devices. On my Instagram user friend’s house.

Maybe it’s just bad good luck, who knows. In don’t need Instagram anyway, just an interesting fact.

It can be pseudoanonymous if you use it that way. If you login to it via tor for example and only use it to communicate to people who aren’t related to your IRL identity.

Besides cash and mail is still much easier to track than Monero
