Biden Administration Opposes Surgery for Transgender Minors
  • I'm just making a point, to be completely honest. The person who I replied to said to verify with other sources, which implies that The New York Times is a source to them, even if they don't trust it. Maybe I am being pedantic.

  • They lied to you about car surveillance
  • I comment all the time there and read comments all the time. I never see any commenters attacked for being Jews ever. Look, that's not to say that Jew haters aren't on the platform, and I find it very annoying that they seem to be brigading the platform in the comment space, but the place certainly ain't run by Nazi's. It's just unfortunate that people like that have to ruin the reputation of the platform and turn people off from it. The comments seem far less moderated than the videos of the platform, because remember that moderation on the Odysee front-end does exist. I'm mostly saying this for the reader, since you probably already know this, but here is one example from the community guidelines:

    We don’t care about what you publish, livestream, comment, or include in channel descriptions for the most part. But we don’t allow the following: Content or posts that incite hatred or violence towards a particular group or person(s) based on, but not limited to the following: Ethnicity Disability Nationality Race Gender Religion Sexual orientation Social class/caste Gender identity/expression

    So you certainly can't argue that Odysee allows this content on the platform. I've only once (one time too many, though!) seen someone actually directly promote violence. I slimed it (disliked), reported it, and told other people to do the same (sliming it enough hides the comment like a spoiler), and the other viewers did so. That's the first time I've ever done that, but if you saw what he was promoting, you would probably think he should go to a mental ward. Thankfully, people did slime it, and it became hidden, before eventually being removed by the site moderators.

  • They lied to you about car surveillance
  • Because the general population doesn't know much about data privacy and they are purposefully mislead and inticed into accepting agreements that share all that information out. The point of NBTV is to raise awareness.

  • Can I still get the 15th anniversary Creeper cape?
  • I found an official guide when hunting around in the Minecraft Help Center, but it also seems to not work just like the unofficial one I mentioned. It says to go to the 15th anniversary page (the one that currently tells us about buying tickets for Minecraft Experience) and scroll down to the "Get the 15th Anniversary Cape!" section, which doesn't seem to exist anymore. So I think this is just a case of Mojang not updating their help page's information. I decided that as much as I really want the cape, I can't be bothered going through Microsoft Support for it; Microsoft Support just sucks, lol.

  • Can I still get the 15th anniversary Creeper cape?
  • Ok, thanks, I'll see if I can contact Microsoft; I've not had a good history with their support though.

    The link I sent, I also got from the waybackmachine

    Oh, did you? Your link is of the original page and not a waybackmachine link. Likely what you did was you copied the link from the in-website address bar by mistake. The address contained in it is the original version of the address; not the archived one. So to copy the actual waybackmachine archived version of the link, you need to copy the address from the web-browser its selves own address bar. I made the same mistake in my last comment, and I had to edit it to fix it, because the links were directing to the original pages rather than the archived ones which I had manually saved.

    We now know that the data collection in modern cars is out of control -- The question is, how does that data even leave your car? And what, if anything, can you do to stop it?

    Can I still get the 15th anniversary Creeper cape?
  • When I click the sign in button, it redirects me to the same page I linked first in my post. I'm not sure if there are regional differences or what (I'm in Australia, but I don't think it should matter), but in case we are seeing a different version of the page from each other, I manually saved both the pages to the waybackmachine so you can see exactly what I'm seeing. So essentially, your link takes me to this page, and clicking "Sign in with Microsoft" automatically signs me in and directs me to this page (the same as what I linked first in the post). On the latter page, I can't find anything on it about redeeming the cape. I checked my profile settings in the cape section just to be sure it hadn't somehow redeemed itself, but no, I don't have it.

  • Can I still get the 15th anniversary Creeper cape?

    I'm really late to grab mine, but can I even still get it? The cape is still being advertised in the official launcher, but whenever I go to the redeem page which was linked in the article advertised in the launcher, I keep getting taken to the 15th anniversary page where all they tell me is about all the bedrock edition marketplace content you can redeem for the anniversary, and a history of Minecraft over each of its 15 years.

    I can't find anything about a cape on the page. I also can't find anything about it being a limited time offer (but it would make sense to be at least limited to 2024) outside of an unofficial guide on redeeming the cape mentioning it apparently being the case; but I can't seem to follow along that guide because nothing they tell you to do seems to be possible whenever I visit the linked pages.

    Google Chrome's Death Of Manifest V2 Has Arrived
  • I'm not disagreeing with you, but this video style is only meant to discuss the issue, not simply tell people exactly what's happening and end it at that. But I see your point, and I've noted it: I'll make sure I share more quick and to-the-point video's when I do in the future.

  • odysee.com Google Chrome's Death Of Manifest V2 Has Arrived

    The whole manifest v3 announcement happened years ago and it's been at least a year since the timeline for the deprecation of manifest v2 got announced so it seems like as good a time as any to remind...

    Did Firefox Stable for Android ever add Site Isolation?
  • I'm no professional, but from my research I've been doing, it appears that the risk (at least one of them) is that a hacker could in theory create a website that exploits this vulnerability. If you access their website, their site could be capable of stealing sensitive information from the other Firefox tabs that you may have loaded on the side, at any given time.

  • Did Firefox Stable for Android ever add Site Isolation?

    I heard around the internet that Firefox on Android does not have Site Isolation built-in yet. After a little bit of research, I learned that Site Isolation on Android was added in Firefox Nightly, appearing to have been added sometime in June 2023. What I can't find, though, is whether this has ever been added to any stable versions of Firefox yet. Does anyone know anything about this?

    Update: After further research, it appears that Site Isolation is not currently a feature in stable version of Firefox on Android. I don't know with certainty if their information is up-to-date, but GrapheneOS (A well-known privacy/security-focused fork of Android) does not recommend using Firefox-based browsers on Android due to it's (apparently) lack of a Site Isolation feature. A snippet of what Graphene currently have to say about Firefox on Android/GrapheneOS from their usage guide page, is: "Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they're currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface."

    On a side-note, they also say about Firefox's current Site Isolation on desktop being weaker, which I wasn't aware of. "Even in the desktop version, Firefox's sandbox is still substantially weaker (especially on Linux) and lacks full support for isolating sites from each other rather than only containing content as a whole."

    Legality of removing sim cards from cars in Australia
  • So you're saying that other electronics used within the car (ones that aren't damaged by the lack of antenna) may be able to detect the lack of antenna as a "fault" and thus hinder their own functionality? Also, by "antenna", are you referring to the one used for the radio? Like an Aerial? So my understanding is that giving the antenna connection a "dummy load" is a way of removing the antenna, and stopping the sending of data, without damaging or hindering any other electronics/components of the car.

  • Make upvotes/downvotes on my own posts (and comments on my posts) visible, while making everyone else's invisible?

    Is it possible to make upvotes/downvotes on my own posts (and comments on my posts) visible, while making everyone else's invisible on the Lemmy website? I like making upvotes & downvotes invisible, because it makes it harder for me to be biased on what I upvote or downvote, based on the amount of upvotes/downvotes posts/comments already have from others. But on the other hand, I would still like to see how many upvotes & downvotes my own posts have, and how many upvotes & downvotes the comments below my post have. Thanks.

    Legality of removing sim cards from cars in Australia

    Does anyone know about the legality of removing the built-in sim cards from your car, specifically in Australia?

    I don't intend on using any car smart-features when I get one. For context, I've never owned a car. When I do get one though, I intend to remove the sim card to prevent the car's location from being constantly tracked. All I care about in terms a cars functionality is a radio, a CD drive (Yes, I use CD's), and Bluetooth audio, so I don't think removing the sim card should affect this much, if at all. Any knowledge and advice would be appreciated, thankyou!

    Update: What I was referring to is an eSim, which appears not to be in the form of a physical card. Even so, if possible, I would like to disable the functionality of this eSim assuming the car I purchase has one in-built. From my research, I cannot find anything that explicitly forbids disabling or removing Sims.
