Honesty is the best policy! Thanks you piece of shit!

Have you ever seen a non binary person and wario at the same place at the same time? There’s your answer.

Thanksgiving, cool idea but could we not celebrate genocide by murdering some birds whil living on stolen land, thanks 😊

The Great Ice Cream would be post WWIII where Germany would be forced to buy everyone ice cream.

At least it wasn’t a jar

For me sex is extremely tied to love, I don’t see myself doing it enjoyably eith someone I am not romantically invested in.

It is both! I’m happy to hear your story or your advice!

Well, I just don’t feel ready to have a connection and I am not into casual sex.

How do you channel hornyness into something that isn’t sexual?

The white house is for the people, by the people!

The people being pedophiles and rapists.

Idk of any but I’m interested, commenting to add traffic 👍

Firstly, it depends on how illegal it is. Is it illegal like you shouldn’t do it and we will try to block you? Or is it illegal like if we catch you do it, you can get arrested or worse?

Scenario A:

• just try shit out, try different VPNs. Some of them provide certain obfuscation. You can see if they work. If they don’t work, you’ve got some more dedicated VPNs such as Tor with all kinds of Tor bridges (obfs4, snowflake, etc) Or psiphon

Scenario B:

• The risk is real and you might consider not doing it at all, but if you do, obfs4 is the only thing I can recommend, Psiphon is easily detectable (it’s just good at bypassing blocks)

Considering the high overlap between Lemmy users and internet savvy people, I would say that we are not a good representation.

Remember how well “if you can’t fight them, join them!” worked for all of those people in Nazi Germany and WW2? Definitely caving in to the Nazis was a smart move…

Trump is a loser piece of shit wannabe Nazi, you don’t cave to Nazis, you fight them at all costs because caving is always worse than you think it is.

Simple answer is no but…

Stock android, like all commercial OS is inherently spyware. Google does have access to it and in theory could do anything, but that is only “in theory” because as far as we know stock android does not come with keyloggers and data exfiltration tools, it spies on you in the way of “telemetry” meaning that Google decided that certain data is useful and so they “anonymize” it and collect it, this data can be: wifi networks, location, phone usage, and more.

So in theory it is possible that stock android either already has spyware to collect personal app data that no one ever noticed (very unlikely) or that google will push an update with such software (somewhat unlikely)

Now if you use other Google apps, especially gboard and google assistant, you are definitely sharing SOME amount of peesonal text with google.

The reality is that you should consider your threat model, which means to consider what kind of risk you are willing to take and what kind you are willing to make a change to avoid. It is perfectly reasonable to say that you are not willing to use gboard or google assistant, but you are willing to use the stock android, understanding that you are sharing some data with Google, but most likely no app data (such as your texts in Signal)

Same thing about choosing a messenger. WhatsApp is made and managed by Meta, a company that lives off of user data. So even though WhatsApp claims (and seems to really be) end to end encrypted, you can still be sure that Meta is collecting everything they can, which probably means: who you are texting, how much, at what time, how much you use the app, location, and much more. Signal is open source and managed by a non-profit that does have a good track record, and because ut is open source you can also choose a different client (like Molly) which further reduces the Signal Foundation’s hold on your chats (if you fear that) So you could say that because all of your friends use WhatsApp you are willing to accept that Meta will collect a bunch of data on you, or you could decide that you are not okay with that data collection and therefore choose Signal. It is up to you. In any case, E2EE is a must as it protects you from unauthorized access from hackers.

Doubt that it would be Meshtastic, it is inherently not built for internet levels of bandwidth. But I can see a future where you have intranets that are free and community driven with something like Meshtastic with higher bandwidth and you still pay for an ISP that can give you access to the full internet (because nothing currently can replace underwater optic fiber)
