You’re 100% correct on the tactile difference in the buttons. I didn’t think of that. A similar complaint is every feature is a “button” on the infotainment screen. I saw this on a Dodge. My current car has no touchscreen and I have driven it long enough to just know where all the buttons are without looking. In my opinion, distracted driving should include these types of things that take your attention off of the road.

Push button transmission? It’s been done before.

Of course back then distracted driving was digging through the box of 8 track cassettes.

Thanks for the reminder! I just replaced the gallery. I still have Simple Draw, it appears that there’s no replacement, but I’m not tied to it. What do others use for a drawing/photo editing app?

Well, that’s unfortunate. I’ve seen this happen way too many times.

I don’t know what your criteria is other than privacy. This guy’s post looks interesting.

I’m just speculating here, but I’ve seen where app developers pull in a framework for a feature and it comes with all sorts of hidden gems since the framework was developed by a large corporation. The small development team now needs to consider writing their own framework (an established anti-pattern), find another (that may have the same problems or be less mature, etc) or include the privacy invading code and plan to replace it in a future release (which never happens because users want new features and the privacy concerned users have left).

Any device that requires an app to function is an immediate deal breaker for me. Same for most things that require “the cloud” to work. Garage door openers, doorbell or other cameras, cooking appliances, door locks, cars, even a basic pedometer to name a few. All of these things will only work temporarily until the company decides it’s end of life for any reason.

I would love to give this a try. Did you follow any guides? Which Pi?

I’ve seen this before and got a chuckle, so I gotta wonder who is downviting this and why?

I should have said, “visible by all the ‘partners’”.

I still file by mail because if somebody were to do something with my taxes in transit, it’s a federal crime vs e-filing where everybody whose network it passes through gets a copy, legally.

Why does Android allow this? Google is an advertising company.

Well, would you look at that, it was in my settings the whole time. Thank you kindly!

In using ASK with swore, but as you can see, it’s not yelling accurate. I wish that the namespace key would remove the while worked, not letter by letter.

(I’m using ASK with swipe, but as you can see, it’s not terribly accurate. I wish that the backspace key would remove the whole word, not letter by letter.)

I won’t click on a site if it has clickbaity headlines because I already know that it’s light fluffy stories with no meat. I happen to already subscribe to pluralsite on my RSS feed, so I knew what the story was all about. Aren’t there bots here that will visit links and provide a TL;DR summary so that I know if it’s worth the click?

For me, it was an advertisement in my gmail for something my spouse had searched for on a separate computer that I had never logged on to. I don’t recall what it was, but it was something like a new cookware set. It was odd. I started noticing it happening again with other people whom I correspond with for items I don’t need (dog kennels near you). I wasn’t on any social media except maybe YouTube.

Later, I started reading about the profiles companies keep, how you have no control over what is collected, for how long or if you want it to stop. I found myself using the computer less and less, feeling uncomfortable being watched if I looked up medical symptoms or just shopping around for things.

My family would show how cool it is that Google knows when you have a doctor appointment and where you are and what traffic is doing so that you need to leave in 10 minutes to get there on time. I found it creepy.

I awoke to see cameras everywhere, tracking cookies, apps tracking me for no reason. People willingly putting spy cameras next to their front door, pointing directly at my bedroom window, where I walk, sending data to Amazon. I started reading how it’s their data and they’ll willingly turn it over to anyone who asks or pays for it. I read about a guy who was arrested (and later released after hiring an attorney with his own money) for being near a home where a murder occurred, unbeknownst to him.

I have nothing to hide, but I have everything to hide. Now mind your own business!

It sounds like you’re encouraging the poster to include a brief summary of the article vs duplicating the title in the summary. Something like,

The [American] Consumer Finance Protection Bureau … has proposed new rules limiting the trade between brokers and bureaux, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, putting strict restrictions on the transfer of information between the two.

One of the complaints about Signal is that although the content is encrypted end to end, the sender and receiver are in the open. This is analogous to a postal service letter where the contents are unviewable. Signal now offers something to obscure the sender (like not putting a return address on a letter), but the receiver must be known to the servers in order to properly deliver it.

Although the Signal protocol is probably sent to the Signal servers encrypted, privacy enthusasts contend that it’s possible that the maintainers of Signal could be coerced into providing the sender and receiver of messages, even if the messages are not viewable.
