Honestly I was expecting far more downvotes. I posted the video with people like you in mind, who still can think critically are marks without the burden of misinformation and ideology. not being marks.

Ftfy

By the way, if you think you are not subject to ideology, I have several things to sell you.

For anyone else reading: everyone is subject to ideology. The moment you think you arent, that is when you are most trapped by it.

I mean I disagree about not sympathizing with folks somewhat trapped in a hostile software ecosystem, but surely “stand by your beliefs” is not unheard of.

With about a half an hour of reading documentation it became very clear a couple versions ago what work benches were, which were useful to me, and how to use them. That’s maybe longer than going from inventor to solidworks or visa versa, but hardly that bad. For a beginner it will be taking a long time anyway and there will be essentially no difference, except that you’ll learn a much more robust understanding of how parametric modeling works.

Freecad has improved considerably in the last year, to a point where I’ve gone from saying I will wait to use it, to recommending it. It may actually have been designed for humans now.

Because of the flat and nonprofit nature of Lemmy “users pooling money together” is the platform allocating budget.

The point is that game developers don’t get royalties the same way say, book writers do, not that the distribution is uneven or exactly unfair in a direct sense.

Digital data is extremely short lived. Unless it’s being maintained well and copied, it will decay regardless of storage medium fairly rapidly. And as you point out data interface techniques are themselves quite short lived. Storing data as something accessible without specialist technology, so plainly readable, instructions on how to build the reader and decode the data, etc.

Future technology may improve this by having historians interested in historical records wanting ways to recover it, at least.

Not really planning on sacrificing privacy and safety from monopolies by doing that thanks. Not everybody’s threat model is that ridiculous.

None of these really seem that off topic lol. Especially not the one marked off topic in the pictured post.

Big meh. Languages evolve.

And this is why I’ve never taken much of Linuxs user base seriously when they talk about security. Hilariously bad defense strategy.

Written content can contain pii, but it’s rarer. Written content isn’t, by default, pii, but if someone tells anything reasonably pii the entire text can be consisted pii even when anonymized.

And an important note is that… For decades we have had paper trails fairly locked down given enough incentive. The technology isn’t the problem with performing audits.

Plaster sculpt, then add fake skin to, and add a small linear actuator for breathing stimulation, small twitch motors under the skin, and run it under some alternating leds to stimulate blood flow coloration. Should defeat almost all facial recognition software. Might need some eye fakes.

Or just wear makeup to an insane degree. Or return to the forests and live a much happier life.

Nobody has mentioned librewolf, which is a fantastic out of the box privacy browser. It’s a Firefox fork.

In addition to the correction from the other user - there are plenty of designs that provide access to phone internals with no tools. Snap fit phone bodies work fine, there are several modern phones with them and numerous older phones. Still water resistant, and the case doesn’t magically pop off just by dropping it.

(Also a case popping off from being dropped actually protects internals and the screen by absorbing some of the drop energy anyway, since the kind of drop that would easily pop a phone body off is the same kind of drop that will break screens.)
