You are actually right :) Stupid me. But other similar searches have failed me in the past.

The internet is too different now to what Google (or any SE) was designed to index. Too much of the up-to-date high value information is posted onto semi-public channels. Like facebook groups, instagram posts, telegram channels, etc. At the

Good. No one verifies this crap anyway. Even in Israel where it's a digitally signed government issued token, nobody has actually ever verified it (that I've seen). Only at the airport, maybe.

The amount of emissions from a large bonfire is literally 0 in comparison to what it takes to bring half of the participants aboard jets from halfway around the world. Since that would make all festivals "over", by your logic, I c

If you use Tor, and you're not a criminal, you increase the deniability of anyone else who uses Tor. Thus, ever so slightly, you help everyone else to have an easy way to be anonymous. Of course, for any serious anonymity (against west

Your phone? Double redundant networking, UPS protected power supply, and plenty of compute resources. Writing this from an android with 16G of RAM.

Facebook are much much worse. An NSO, a Candiru or a weapons manufacturer provide tools to governments, who are at least in theory (but usually in practice) accountable to their people. Occasionally governments even act for the benefit of

You tech bros have seriously lost it at this point, haven't you. You are literally comparing selling gas that was essentialy designed to mass murder people in camps, to selling a surveillance tool that can hack your precious iphones.

What an obnoxious piece of drivel. "Any application that could be done on a blockchain could be better done on a centralized database. Except crime." The HN California tech-bros could be forgiven for not "getting it" 2 y

The world isn't closed. I've been traveling for most of 2021, and when I started, I was "shocked" to find fellow travelers who've been traveling throughout 2020 as well. Asia is fully closed. That's due to the

What am I doing to fix it? Nothing! I'm dependent, just as you say, and have no illusions about that. Getting into this situation wasn't my decision (it was a collective "decision" of our society), and getting out of thi

Dear humans, 1) You willingly delegated the decision of what code is allowed to run on your devices to the manufacturer (2009). Smart voices warned you of today's present even then. 2) You willingly got yourself irrevocably vendor-lock

Isn't there client side code in every Whatsapp client that analyzes your messages and sends data to FB for ad targeting? I know for a fact they can block certain message content from being sent. So at least a hash of every message is s

Google search has progressively deteriorated in quality over the last 10 years, to the point where I see it becoming useless in the relatively near future. And it's mainly not even their fault. I've been using Google search for al

That's not consistent between phones. I have a low end Redmi 9T with a 6AH battery. It lasts 2 days of relatively heavy phone usage. I'm guessing it would last a whole day in a Termux shell. Edit: if anything the real issue is the

NSO are literally owned by a Europe based private equity firm, and previously owned by a US based one. Their clients (Saudi & UAE) are very much NATO buddies.

Why isn't there something that turns a rooted Android phone into a VOIP <-> Cell network gateway? Something that allows incoming calls to be forwarded to SIP, and vice versa? I haven't found something like that.

It feels to me that Telegram is the closest thing to old school IRC that we "have"* right now. You can have public/private channels, you don't see other peoples phone numbers for no reason (you see their chosen nicks), y

Of course. All these articles and "criticisms" of Signal started popping up right after the recent WhatsApp mini exodus. What a coincidence.
