I have a DVD hard copy, but no DVD player. Anyway, I found the DVD online and downloaded it, only problem is it's a 7GB mkv. Is there a method to shrink it down by around 6GB?
I've been seeing more and more evident hit pieces on XMR on social media, starting with the article by Greydinamics on May 17th, but just look closely at the memes and comments coming up on social media, "Monero, invest in underground crime" and other stupid shit like that... ...
Monero is so resilient. the ecosystem is very organic
But the elites are also smart. they are trying to be very sneaky, not activate the Streisand effect too much.
It's all classic brainwashing just like they do with all words and ideas, they attach negative connotations and mental images to certain words and terms, that way they can control how you think and make you associate Monero with villany, when it is they who are the ultimate merchants of pure evil, with their manipulation, child molestation, and total control.
Think about terms like "Racist", "Conspiracy theorist", and "terrorist". Yeah, you'll be in that list someday for daring to use Monero, under some other term.
Is Google Services Framework ID (GSF ID) of the device visible and accessible to all apps downloaded on the device on Android 10 and higher? Or is the GSF ID only visible and accessible to privileged apps?
I used to get Proton Mail from the IzzyOnDroid Fdroid repo. But now it's not in his repo anymore. Afaik this was mirroring the github release of Proton Mail at Proton's Github account ...
yeah they are. but i dont know if those were actually pushed to be in fdroid by proton themselves.
but it doesnt matter really. Mail is by far their flagship product and they refuse to direct people to anyone but people, and maybe github if you find the right page, which someone did link, but obviously is extremely inconvenient.
also proton refuse to release a build that isn't injected with google depedencies. ew.
I just want one to sign up for telegram, yes yes I know there can be privacy concerns but I'm only going to use it for piracy anyway and gonna enable 2FA . I don't have any mode of online payment and I'm broke anyway, so it has to be free . Looking back on some old reddit threads some seems to work for the people some don't, but ...
I've noticed that people on lemmy, just like reddit, are not very good at banter or irony, they get easily upset. the year isnt 2008, you can lighten up. not every joke originates from a meme font template meme or a viral dog video. whatever, i dont care. i can just make new accounts when i get banned.
I am now using disroot . I don't care about anonymity or anything as I just wanna use it to connect to my bank, ID and buy/book shit etc. Which all have my phone number, address, name etc anyway so no point in that . I just want the security privacy to be good enough that no one can easily hack it, steal my OTP, inbox etc and I ...
they are known for being used for bomb threats or 4chan weirdos. but yeah i wouldn't use them for anything serious. you dont wanna have to say THAT email address over the phone to customer support of your bank or something lol.
The carrier on Friday said it launched a media platform to serve travelers personalized advertisements on seat-back screens and in its app, among other platforms, as it seeks to leverage customer data.
you can press one of the buttons, if it's one of those with the eight buttons (4 on each side of the screen. for me it was the second button down from the top on the right side. i only had to press it once to mute, but i heard u might have to press up to 4 times
Good article. These things are definitely true in the stage of big tech and normie tech, however I'm so glad that the baseline for a large portion of us still hasn't shifted, and in some respects, has actually shifted in reverse, to become better over time
For example, open source wasn't really a thing in the 90s and early 2000s to the scale that it is today. Companies could generally be trusted to not be literal active spyware.
But today, more than ever, soooo much software and code is totally open and you can build and compile it all yourself. You can now run your entire tech life on code that you build, compile, verify, and sign by yourself. You could not do that in the "good old days".
i know it was, and i know he's right, open source has always been alive and well, but not for the everyday Joe. that's why i suffixed my sentence.
Meta open sourced their LLM for example recently, Llama. Sorry but i dont see that happening back then. Linux Desktop is growing rapidly and now highly usable by the common person. there is an open source linux app for everything now. accessible Open source encryption. Open source phone apps are mainstream now. easily accessible instant e2ee messaging would've been future spy movie stuff 20 years ago.
it's easier than ever to use almost 0% proprietary software.
I thought people could pick up on my main idea but seems people are too stupid to read an entire sentence. or without sperging out trying to cry about nothing. so much insecurity geez. this is the typical midwit brain. unable to digest main ideas, and screaming over details and half sentences as if im speaking in absolutes. your iq is 105 probably
Daily reminder that sites "protected" by cloudflare are effectively MITM attacks. HTTPS is now even more worthless. Cloudflare can see everything. this is a known fact and not a theory. ...
Please for the love of all that is holy, do NOT call your site or yourself "privacy-respecting" or "privacy-oriented", and then meet me with a Cloudflare MITM to knowingly and willingly give over everything i input in your site to NSA Inc.
I'm sick to my stomach of all these orgs and companies and people talking about privacy, and then they constantly do all these kinds of things thst prove that they don't actually care about privacy or anonymity or anything in between. They are Vipers and Snakes trying to make a quick dollar on a buzzword. It's become sadly trite.
We must return to the dark ages of p2p. The age of self-hosting, blockchain (the truly good parts like monero), ipfs, bittorrent, tor onions, i2p, any other p2p or decentralized network - these kinds of things are all that stands between us and internet controlled by a handful of NSA-worshipping megacorps.
ofc. they are all catch-alls for the NSA. people think the NSA is monitoring traffic as in looking over our shoulders. like direct interception. nope, they just let a few megacorps convince the entire internet to pass everything through their servers, then buy off all the data.
Once again, the earthly principle of all things being ultimately voluntarily, is still true.
This question is social/political, and meant to trigger a nice debate on the negatives of imbalanced infinite progressivism we seem to be heading in social and technological spheres, ignoring science, practicality and reason. ...
progressivism happens because society progresses. talking about cult like members and how being traditional past your 30s is somehow more responsible and mature is highly disingenuous. might wanna think about that
