  • ‘We’re still in this fight’: the resistance to Trump considers its options after bruising election defeat

    Jump

  • There is a line to walk, not disruptive enough and you are ignored, a bit more disruptive and you are considered, too disruptive and you are villainized, past that you are taken seriously.

    If they don't want to consider you, you have to make them, even more so when they are violent fascists.

  • My son (9 yrs old) used plain JavaScript to make a game, and wants your feedback

  • Loved it! Very nostalgic feeling! And the art is awesome!

    I also liked how the enemy had a chance of being wrong!

    Also, you can just not wait for the enemy and just attack all the time by clicking the attacks

  • Protest, get more aggressive, don't give up on your rights.

    Do you have a protest near you? No? Make one.

    Do the protests not help? Make them more disruptive, block roads, make fires, fight.

    Sadly, at some point, it might go from protest to actual fighting \ civil war, but some wars are worth fighting.

    I get that it is scary and dangerous, some people understand that they might not have much more to lose, some still stand to lose a lot before feeling cornered, but if you don't fight now, you might just have to fight alone later.

  • I know it's hard but giving up is not really an option, especially for women, LGBTQ+, minorities, and the working class...

  • What smartphone do you have (if any) and what are its issues/quirks?

    Jump

  • Small phones pleaseeeee!

    Every time I buy a new phone I'm devastated to learn that I can't get anything usable with one hand.

    I need a 5.5 inch phone, anything bigger is hard to use, anything past 6 is impossible with one hand

  • Pixel 4a with CalyxOS.

    Support has ended while my phone is still working great and could probably last me a few more years (4 already) I get that companies can't support devices forever, but I wish they would apply their 7 year support policy retroactively because now I'm going to buy a new phone for the simple reason that mine is now insecure (no security updates for firmware)

    This sucks and it's so wasteful.

  • Gave it a screenshot of OSMand, got a creepy qoute

    The image does not show any people; it is purely a navigational map highlighting a route. The time displayed on the map is 17:51:34, suggesting late afternoon or early evening. There is no additional information available about the device used to take the screenshot or the user's intentions, making it impossible to determine their racial characteristics, ethnicity, age, economic status, or lifestyle. The emotional context of the image is neutral, as it is simply a visual representation of a traveled route.

  • Are Overemployed ‘Ghost Engineers’ Making Six Figures to Do Nothing?

    Jump

  • Yeah, there are plenty of truly pointless workers, I'm not denying that. But doing stupid metrics like commit counting or lines of code per day is stupid and counter productive, and it emphasizes the out of touch and inhuman methods of corporate idiots

  • VPN bypassing Firewalls (Wireguard DPI)

  • Double VPN, first one is orbot/psiphon and then your VPN.

    Easy on Linux, not so easy on other platforms, especially non-rooted android or iphones

  • The WIRED Guide to Protecting Yourself From Government Surveillance

    Jump

  • I see quite a few comments trashing this article, why?

    It gives solid advice while reminding the reader that this is not perfect.

    If I was Snowden this is not enough at all, but If I was an illegal immigrant in a country full of others like me? I think this article plus the final note about past data, does actually give a very solid advice.

    I would argue that those who follow this guide, and take to heart the final notes and does something about past information (e.g move to a new address, change some habits, etc) would not be discovered in a mass deportation. Again, if you are an individual who is uniquely targeted by a government, this is not enough.

    And yeah, they missed some points and this isn't perfect, but anyone who is serious would do more research anyway, so I actually think this a good article.

  • What is your horrible Food Poisoning story?

    Jump

  • My mother made rice in the morning and forgot to put it in the fridge, it was a hot summer day.

    When my brother came back from school he decided to eat the rice, not knowing how long it was out. A few bites in he notes the odd taste, nothing major but noticeable, his solution? Add more sauce to drown the weird taste!

    Fast forward about an hour, now my brother is puking and shitting it and everything else that was inside of him. So far this is pretty normal right? It can happen to anyone at least once and it wasn't anything crazy since after one puking/shitting session he felt better and was mostly over it.

    About 2 hours later my father comes home, this man does not throw away food as long as it isn't covered in mold (this means that small amounts of mould are okay to cut out and eat the rest, thia is the level we are talking about) and just to clarify, we had no food shortage or money issues, he is just unwilling to throw away food.

    For some reason nobody threw away the rice yet and it was still on the kitchen counter. My father sees the rice and we all immediately warn him that my brother got food poisoning from it and he should not eat it, of course my father, the genius, decides that my brother just has a weak stomach. He takes a bite, notices the weird taste and you guessed it... Drowns it in sauce!

    As expected about an hour later he had a similar puking/shitting session, and learned absolutely nothing.

  • People driving straight on the highway need to move the wheel around at all times to stay straight. Also, the drivers can look away from the road for like 10 seconds without it being a huge issue that would otherwise be scary and dangerous.
