My holy trinity of trust
  • Same thing just happened with IVPN :⁠-⁠\

  • When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?
  • Surely there is some way to configure this on Windows. I'm so unfamiliar with Windows software anymore, but I'm sure that any firewall worth it's salt would be able to increase the TTL on outbound packets.

  • When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?
  • iptables on my laptop (not tethered, but using the phone's wifi hotspot). I don't even have a jailbroken android phone anymore because my banking app stopped working on custom ROMs and fighting with it wasn't a good use of my time.

  • When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?
  • This is correct. I pay for the unlimited plan with Verizon, but it only has 5GB of hotspot data. I use an iptables rule to increment the TTL by one, giving me unlimited data on my laptop.

    T-Mobile used to work the same way when I used it back in 2016.

  • Junk websites filled with AI-generated text are pulling in money from programmatic ads
  • Same. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. However, most top Google results are those garbage sites that are definitely not written by humans. I wonder if search will die soon as bots begin to dominate SEO (more than they already do). The search paradigm will definitely have to change.

  • Chinese soldiers pledge to sacrifice their lives in documentary on Taiwan invasion
  • All propaganda is not good, but I'd say that Chinese-brand propaganda is fierce. I make an attempt to get news from sources outside the States because our propaganda is pretty lame as well. I should learn more about Taiwan history, though. Can anyone recommend a good book about it?

  • Today 10 years ago I got a Firefox OS phone
  • I've had android phones since the G1. The Nexus One was pretty freaking sweet, but my favorite phone of all time was either the Nexus S or the Nexus 5x. The curved screen on the S was great and it fit into the back pocket of my pants "like a glove".

  • Chinese soldiers pledge to sacrifice their lives in documentary on Taiwan invasion
  • Why are you mad at me? It isn't my choice. You make some good points/observations, but I won't respond to each of them because the fact of the matter is that the US will not sit by and watch Taiwan be "reintegrated" (again, not my choice; just a fact).

  • Chinese soldiers pledge to sacrifice their lives in documentary on Taiwan invasion
  • I would say that suicide is not patriotic to anyone. Why do Chinese supporters always resort to whataboutism, anyway? Shitty behavior is shitty behavior, regardless.

    The PRC has never owned Taiwan. Also, it doesn't matter about the ethnicity of the population because, at the end of the day, they don't want to be part of China.

  • Chinese soldiers pledge to sacrifice their lives in documentary on Taiwan invasion
  • What does this even mean? You're comparing cats and dogs in an attempt to justify PRC's warrantless claim to an island they've never owned in modern history.

  • Chinese soldiers pledge to sacrifice their lives in documentary on Taiwan invasion
  • Yup, the military industrial complex is so screwed up.

    Taiwan presents a tricky and strange situation. All I'm saying is that I really do not think that the US would sit back and watch China invade without doing anything.

  • Trump appears to stumble over his name and age at arraignment
  • On a second reading of the comment, I realized you weren't. My bad, dude.

  • Chinese soldiers pledge to sacrifice their lives in documentary on Taiwan invasion
  • Officially. That's just political framing to keep China from going ape-shit. Unofficially, though... see the Six Assurances.

  • Chinese soldiers pledge to sacrifice their lives in documentary on Taiwan invasion
  • I see what you're saying, but it is really easy to drum up support, especially with how effective the media has become at manipulating public opinion. I've seen the US go to war over much less in my life.

  • Chinese soldiers pledge to sacrifice their lives in documentary on Taiwan invasion
  • Suicide isn't patriotic. And it isn't a Chinese island; that's the point. It's a democratic, independent country that happens to be a US ally.

  • How many of you were using Digg during its prime?
  • I used to use my Blackberry to read Digg every morning in college while waiting for classes to start. It was great in its heyday, but maybe that's just nostalgia or that I'd not experienced anything quite like it prior.

  • Help with Lemmy's language options (no Undetermined option)

    On the Lemmy settings page, there is a Languages option with a warning that says:

    > Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.

    However, as you can see from the picture, I do not have any option besides English: !

    Is there a way to add Languages to this list? Am I missing most content, like the warning suggests?
