There’s no option to uninstall on my neighbor’s phone.

Gemini now has a second set of toggles buried in its settings menu. You can go to Profile → Apps inside the Gemini app and manually disable access to Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, or Utilities. But these are turned on by default, even if you’ve disabled tracking in the past.

So I just went to the app in my neighbor’s phone, and it asked me to switch. I said no, and it won’t let me do anything else. So will this need to be done next week?

I came to say, “just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.”

Zucc shares the info

Laura Poitras, Jake Applebaum, Snowden, Assange, Manning, too many others I can’t recall, atm, for example.

Cloud backups, for security!

I see an option to change it, not delete. It’s still attached to a SIM card which requires identity verification in many states.

For now.

Oh, I see it too. I’m just a “keep getting up until you can’t” kind of person. Apathy at home and entertainment culture in general serves the money masters well. I’m just wondering if the public will actually move or continue circuses, once the bread is gone.

I can’t get on board with doomerism anymore. It’s giving up our power and either we have it, reclaim if or don’t. I’m seeing a lot of denial, "oh look a squirrel!” and hopelessness. None of these serve us.

I’d say those some are spot on. Governments love the "look what that country is doing!” while doing the same or worse, surreptitiously. Prestidigitation, really.

Acknowledge.

I have a feeling a whole bunch of people are about to start caring, when they see normal things being used as excuses to arrest friends, family, colleagues.

It’s going to be ugly, and I’m… Well not okay with it, but will do what needs doing. I’m saying there are plenty reachable who would work with us. Anyway, I didn’t pay attention to the server at the time. I have been seeing American leftists calling each other Nazis. Truth be told, capitalism is fascististic AF, and we didn’t guard the guardrails. But the magas who are reachable either aren’t saying things out loud, and I’m sure that’s plenty of them too. Others are reaching out and helping addicts, non-religious, other religious, other hued, LGBT. And maybe that’s just because I’m in a small farm rural area. There is one who’s openly an issue and one who says the right things but gives me the * heebies, for no logical reason. And the other hued who are disturbingly ye reminiscent.

and then cited an example where we cooperated with communists (leftists)

I agree communists are leftists, and have been demonized by the West to support literal Nazis. My point was the ideological differences.

To your other points, when history has been seriously abridged and outright altered, in what institutions of education have been teaching since the original Red Scare (which never ended), most conservative voters a. Don’t t realize these are fascistic ideals, and b, a lot of them are genuinely horrified by how far this has gone.

We see the same problems, but assess causes and solutions differently. I literally spoke with s maga voter in the last six months who is probably really hurting right now, due to current and ongoing policy. I asked why our tax dollars don’t go to actual taxpayers. He thought about that a minute rightly assessed that it is because politicians and corporations are greedy and selfserving. The light was beginning to flicker. Unfortunately the conversation was interrupted, and he lives in a different state. We can make a difference, but the will had to exist.

Historical facts. Both those wars would have gone very differently if not for working with people with whom we had ideological differences.

I am talking about citizens. What if we had this attitude about Russia during WW2 and Afghanistan? Please close your eyes and try to imagine that.

Well continue on doing what you’ve always done, surely you’ll get a different result this time.

Exactly. And “leftists” are as hell- bent on division as rightists. We’re on the same side, if people could set aside differences and focus on similarities, that would be great.

ETA qualification. I am talking about Americans, sorry.

For calling a politician a pimmel?

I didn’t have any issues either. And IDC about self-signed certs, from reputable people, either.

It’s a mess and another reason to eliminate middle men. I’m okay with data being collected for WHO, for purposes of tracking morbidity and mortality, and modality for treatment, but I’d be interested in digging into how those rules are written, too.

It’s just self signed, if the maintainers of those instances can keep them running despite greedy, horrible yt shenanigans, I’m fairly confident in their ability and self interest, in proper security.

You really can’t overstate this plain truth, and people will still cling to the illusion of freedom.

Was he on that island discussing whether the billionaires could keep their security detail loyal with shock collars?

Ellison is the world’s sixth-richest man with a net worth of $157 billion, according to Bloomberg.

They are really concerned when people tire of their children dying from hunger and easily treatable diseases, we’ll be coming for them. But rather than give up an iota of the money generations can never spend for our ecology and things people need to live, they resort to things like shock collars and surveillance states.

Yes. Just checked, was turned on.

Occasionally I run into glitches on various instances, but visiting the original post on the original instance works. Lemmy is new enough that I didn’t mind seeking workarounds, by asking or fiddling around. Best!

Works for me.
