Block the super niche crap-holes.

Use an app, such as Thunder for Android, and put some keywords in the filter. No posts with those words will show up again.

Thunder will also allow you to label users. I mostly do this when I block someone so I have a reminder of why I blocked them.

Good for the bigtech fighting these laws. Parents should be protecting their children.

If governments want to get involved:

1. Educate parents about the dangers online and what to do about it.
2. It could regulate the addictive features of social media. The result would be a safer internet for everyone without anyone having to KYC themselves.
3. If #2 isn’t an option, force all computer manufactures to add in parental controls that automatically turn off when the user gets to the age of maturity.

I have doubts if any privacy companies are going to advocate for age verification. The very idea is anti-privacy.

I think of Stephen more of a vampire or ghoul.

https://inteltechniques.com/tools/Search might help. You can add the phone number and it will search nearly all search engines.

Doesn’t surprise me, given recent Proton news.

I use Syncthing but a USB-C thumb drive will do the trick.

Here are a couple of sources that should help.

I have an internal CAD. It’s very useful when building something like a deck for my home. Technically, I show no one this. They only see the end result.

I use Thunder and it’s the same for me.

I see your post both here on Lemmy and on Mastadon.

Oh. Thanks for that. I didn’t realize.

Edit: I checked with another browser, not logged in, and I do see the flags. So odd.

Founded in 1998. Yeah, I’m from the pre-google times as well.

DDG has a no ai version which is what I use.

Yes. I added the bills through their website.

Are you aware that Andy Yen is forcing a massive AI coding adoption? Proton may be better now but I doubt if will continue to be anything close to stable or secure within a year.

I see two options:

1. Don’t use it or as little as possible.

2. Get everyone at your place of work to tokenmax. Cost your company so much money that they remove it.

Personally, I’d do option 1.

Beware, Claude was used to make this site.

I avoid public places unless I’m wearing an N-95. Like most people, I don’t like going to the dentist. Now it’s going to be so much worse.

I agree with what you say about politicians.

Scented products either give me a headache or hurt my throat. Wearing an N-95 helps a lot.

Open-source has the advantage of more eyes on the code. I trust someone, somewhere has looked. That’s all I can do.

Anyone who says “jUsT cHeCk ThE cOdE” should be ignored.
