This is what they are looking for. They want to squeeze people so that they will snap. They will use any ensuing violence as an excuse to remove more of our freedoms.

I’ve been using Linux exclusively for more than ten years. You’ve made the right choice. As if you needed anyone to tell you 😆

Therapists notes are stored on computers too, you know…

Not to mention the fact that you could get a mandatory visit to a padded room if you tell them the wrong thing, sometimes at your own expense.

It would be nice to have my own privately hosted therapist trained on all the mental health knowledge known to mankind.

💯 It’s my experience that humans just don’t want to hear it or deal with it. And for people who don’t trust the mental health industry (many for good reason incl. prior abuse), it’s the only option left other than reading self-help books, websites, etc.

I agree, you’re right. I’m kind of sick of this firehose of bullshit raining down from on high. Freedom is dying in so many different contexts all at the same time.

Apparently they’re doing it to comply with the EU’s Digital Services Act. But they’re doing it in the USA too.

Time to switch back to text-only browsers.

I don’t live in Germany though, so I don’t have to worry about this legislation or do anything about it 😂

There are lots of biased meta-analyses that have gained sway in popular news articles recently. There is also a neo-temperance movement that some scientists who participated in these studies are a part of. Science isn’t as unbiased or objective as many people think it is, but people who think they’re smart for “listening to the scientists” are easily deceived, because they don’t bother critically examining claims that are apparently scientific.

It’s a case of mutually assured destruction: to charge someone with impersonation, they would have to admit that they saved data that was supposed to be only for age verification and then deleted.

Agree… I’ve watched some ChatGPT interviews on YouTube, and they’ve all been more polite than any person I’ve interviewed with at any job.

What app did you use to get info on what trackers your apps have?

Wait what?

I have known about amateur radio for a long time, but never really looked into it. Thanks for the tip. It actually seems really interesting.
