Wow what a crappy article, the blog post should be what is posted instead. Not even a mention of out of date software in the article. This is clearly not a Tor issue.

I’m taking a stance against these platforms by always declining to ever create an account on them when the doctor’s office asks. Having medical data accessible like this is just asking for an attack, followed by a leak. And then I can only assume insurance companies buy these leaked databases and adjust rates accordingly.

I just downloaded FreeTube today after seeing that.

I doubt prices go down, but they may go up slower and it’s a win for small business.

I don’t know the answer to your question, but I have never heard of these alternative protocols. Thanks for giving me something new to go learn about.

They are receive only devices that work using radio signal. Messages are sent using a transmitter of some type. I understand this is a very basic description, I’m not an expert, just have an interest in telecommunications related things.

I think when you start looking at how expensive other forms of green energy are (like wind) long term, nuclear looks really good. Short term, yeah it’s expensive, but we need long term solutions.

Washington surprises me. AFAIK full nudity is legal in Seattle.

The other thing it mentioned was the “head-to-hood” test. AFAIK car manufacturers are only required to meet the collision safety requirements for collisions involving the same class of vehicle. Vehicles in different classes are not made to impact with each other, making, for instance, a sedan to pickup truck collision much more dangerous for the sedan driver. The only way they can still meet those safety requirements is to make the front of the SUVs and trucks much much smaller and probably lower.

Edit: I was thinking of the AP article about this.

Title felt misleading.

The nice thing about FreeTube and Invidious is that they don’t use the YouTube API and the most YouTube can do (at the moment) is issue takedown requests. You can just self-host invidious (which I believe FreeTube uses). The code is unlikely to be taken down as YouTube-dl has successfully fought off those takedown requests.

Yeah it’s not as secure but it has privacy advantages since there’s no 2-way communication.

While experiencing overwhelming anxiety that their boss is going to come around the corner and chew them out for not working.

Doesn’t freetube use invidious api?

No I get you. I just had a different problem with the same platforms that I wanted to voice.

Can you explain how wind and solar get cheaper over time? Especially wind, those blades have to be replaced fairly often and they are expensive.

So I’m confused by the whole community hiding thing. Since I’m local to programming.dev, the owner of programming.dev can hide communities from other instances for me? I get that these communities aren’t moderated well, but it seems like the instance owner that those communities are in should be the one on top of that or risk defederation. I don’t really love that my local instance can just hide things from other instances.

Yeah and my guess is that they’d be less private because if they act as a transmitter, I think they could potentially be triangulated.

You guys leave the search bar on the taskbar?

Yeah, we haven’t even gotten into the reliability. The have dead times where no output is created that nuclear doesn’t suffer from.
