I used to listen to Joe maga Rogan when I was young and lost. He used to motivate me to exercise and better myself. In 2016 when the orange guy ran, he started saying things like, "what's so wrong with saying the n word?" He used to sound like he cared about people.Now he ridicules people who are different than him.

Shapiro just sounds like he's glad he's rich and he doesn't care.

I cleared up a space on the C drive and installed Linux on that partition. Can Windows see files in my Linux partition?

When i installed Linux, i didn't encrypt it but it is password protected. Thanks

 

I got a used Pixel 3a on eBay 2 years ago. I've left it in the humid restroom and even accidentally dipped it in water to where the speakers got wet and blared. It dried off and the loudspeaker sounds normal again and everything still works.

Since then, I've also bought a used pixel 4 that developed a flickering screen and a used pixel 6 that overheated, Sim reader malfunctioned, won't turn on anymore, and was declared unfixable at quikFix.

To be fair I also have a new pixel that I love the heck out of. But my go-to for using at home with wired headphones is the soldier, Pixel 3a.

Yes Tech-Bore sums it up nicely

 

I started out watching some YouTube channels that claim to be dedicated to keeping me private and secure with recent news but found that some of them have a history of advertising NordVPN. Those channels sometimes sounded like they were defending Apple then telling people if they don't like the content then to just scram. Also, they would talk about custom roms for Android, then eventually when the channel got more viewers, the host makes a video advertising Google and why he now uses stock Google Android and saying that it's advanced. These channels, I sometimes find, either have bots or loyal followers on YouTube and Reddit that are ready to gaslight someone for questioning them. They don't hang out on other platforms like Odysee which is strange.

What is a good podcast about privacy and security?

To this day I don't know what or why Google Chrome was using up all the processing power on my laptop while it was installed. As soon as I deleted Chrome, my 12gb laptop ran fine again.

It probably wasn't keylogging but it was probably not updating itself 24/7 either.

Some people just don't want anything to do with Google and I respect that. In that case I'd go with a Pinephone tho.

Otherwise, a used Pixel with GrapheneOS isn't giving much to Google in my opinion.

Bezos needs to put himself in one of Elon's cylinders to go see outer space.

NP. Yeah I only routed Tor browser around the VPN in the past to not slow it down too much but I hardly use Tor anymore so VPN routes everything now.

You can route traffic through VPN on the phone, then just use split tunneling to exclude apps that should have regular network access without VPN. But you have to switch off "Block connections without VPN" in settings.

 

I'm looking to never have to use Google Maps. Is OsmAnd+ the best?

I hope these hardworking employees get a raise and better working conditions.

I quit as a delivery driver when they began trying to persuade me to skip my lunch.

I consider Brax one of the major internet privacy info outlets(don't hate me). I listen to his live streams but I don't buy or use his stuff.

I feel like I'm on Infinity but was transported to a better version of Reddit.

 

I get workout euphoria from the group fitness classes at the boxing gym.

How do you get that feeling from a workout?
