I thought this was gonna be about his fratboy antics when he was younger. That aside, maybe he just needs that one leading man role that will push him to mainstream stardom. That or maybe he's a character actor stuck in a leading man's body. Actors like Colin Farrell and Ryan Gosling are at their best as character actors instead of playing dashing leading men.

I imagine one of the prosecutors touches Trump's forehead for a few seconds, then says: "It's afraid!"

They were probably replying to you on mastodon hence the @.

Tilda, because I like how I can drop it down my screen anytime by pressing one key if I need to use it.

It’s a bot from kbin that started posting yesterday. Some lemmy instances temporarily blocked the community it was coming from until the kbin admins fix it.

Huh. I wonder what they mean by “bad user UX”. I was expecting concerns about encryption or privacy, not UX. I already use Signal, so it would be a positive for me if they federate.

How are these companies able to operate in broad daylight in the EU of all places? I mean the name itself is saying out loud what they do.

I was gonna say this as well. You can go 2 opposite directions. You can go for a country like Switzerland which has a lot of privacy rules in place. It generally protects you from malicious non-state actors. But you can also go the other way with a developing country whose government does not have the means or capability to monitor you. The tradeoff is your data on government systems is probably already compromised, just not by the government itself.

Meanwhile, the police have a maximum IQ limit and anyone above that is not qualified.

One of the servers I’m in requires a phone number in order to post and comment. Glad I never added my number in the first place. OP, I hope you can eventually get your number removed.

inaccuracies and hypocritical takes are being thrown around regarding FOSS.

Oh wow that grinds my gears too. Hopefully those takes are out of pure ignorance and lack of information rather than actually believing FOSS is not secure.

 

Anyone know if this is an instance or alexandrite thing? At first I assumed it was the lemmy.world instance not allowing certain words in comments, but I was able to post the same comment word for word directly on the instance. I've encountered this error several times.

The statement about people trust corporations, not people is valid; that’s why I stopped using the “don’t have doors” and “let me see your phone” argument because people will think it’s different in that you personally know them, instead of some faceless corporation collecting your data.

It got me thinking of a better example, and the one I came up with is baby monitors and home/door cctv cameras. A lot of companies providing those services lack any kind of security in that anyone can potentially see your camera live feed on the internet. Not that anyone’s watching, but someone could if they wanted. So if you’re not hiding anything, would you be fine that your baby monitor can potentially be used for whatever reason even though no one in your social circle can’t “see” it?
