Seems like asking for disappointment

if you want a decent cheap option, the wyze watch seemed okay

Indeed. I might vote for some Greens down-ballot, but Stein is a stain on the party and its cause

[-] Scirocco@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

Certainly if she has been trying to effect real change in a realistic way, rather than an egocentric impossible run at the presidency.....

Things would have been different. She was one of many straws, which if subtracted, would have prevented trump

So for that and that alone, she and the rest of the greens can fuck right off.

See the No Labels folks for a more common sense way to be activist on national level politics.

Greens would be great if they would focus on good, winnable races from the bottom up....

What that called again?? Uhh 'grass roots'

I actually read your article, and I wholly disagree.

Facts matter, truth matters and without the A students we would be even further down the road to Idiocracy, which ofc looks more like a future-documentary every day.

Your brand of "it's all stupid, so join the stupid train" seems designed to appeal to people who want to be stupid. Or you could call yourself ignorant, if you prefer.

In any case, the anti-intellect position that you promote may have a basis in reality (headline hippos) but it is far from a positive contribution.

You can do better.

32 now and I actually like it. I hope it will taint my profile in a positive way

Someone has no idea how memes work

One of the two men you mentioned will win -- barring a death before the election, either Biden or Trump will be elected.

All the wanking in the world isn't going to result in a third option with even the remotest chance.

I think Signal shot themselves squarely in the dick by removing SMS functionality.

Previously, you could use Signal as the primary SMS/messenger app. Any conversations with other Signal clients secure. Conversations in SMS/MMS? Marked as not-secure.

But, out of some purity concerns, SMS functionality was removed and the dev team focused on adding useless shit like "stickers" and then the pin-code harassment.

Signal adoption plummeted as intended (?)

[-] Scirocco@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

Easy! Just replace their usual SMS app with Signal, and then every contact they have that does use Signal is private and secure!

Oh. Wait. That's exactly the functionality that Signal removed in their effort to ensure that Signal is never widely adopted.....

So,.like


was this guy in a relatively large volume chamber/booth and they just trickled the N2 gas in?

If there was enough volume, it could take a long time for the O2 levels to get low enough for him to pass out... BUT does a human body produce enough CO2 to fill that space to the point of triggering the suffocation response? Seems unlikely...

OR did they just strap a rebreather mask to his face and turn on a few l/min?

Were any specifics about the actual setup published?

It's pretty well established that any biometric can just be taken from you


facial recognition is super easy and it won't be hard to force your thumb onto the sensor.

This is also the case for things like blood draw for blood alcohol testing.

The only unlock key that's (probably) truly yours is something inside your brain.

I've mulled/wished for this for years. Also useful at borders, where in the past I have actually been asked (required) to unlock phones and laptops. Generally you have no rights whatsoever there.

Those shadow accounts would need to be 'lived in' to pass those border checks. My worst experience was traveling with new, obviously burner devices


border agents were extremely suspicious.
