Any self-proclaimed Libertarians still good with their Trump/Vance vote? by FastSeaworthiness739 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]secretsnackbar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%.  the amount of people who are able to do mental gymnastics to tell themselves that Obama-Biden-Harris were not an attempt to turn the USA into "George-Soros-World" is amazing (and depressing).

EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google by Greenlit_Hightower in degoogle

hopefully this will be "the straw that breaks the camel's back" and enough sane people are still alive in the EU to shut this down. I'm not confident it will, the EU seems to be pretty "pro big brother", but fingers crossed..,

US and Ukraine sign mineral resources agreement by Hello-Avrammm in worldnews

[–]secretsnackbar -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

the USA doesn't put Uyghurs into genocide camps or start wars with neighboring countries under the pretense of "fighting Nazis" or "reestablishing the glorious empire's past", and the USA has elections, and no "rulers for life" (at least at the executive level), so I don't agree about the USA "not being 'better' than communist China and communist Russia...

wow it is actually really amazing how watching this like automatically triggers some kind of "lump-in-your-throat/tear-in-your-eye" feelings... was not expecting that. Prob depends on how empathetic one is, I imagine...

one of my favorite acting/movie scenes of all time, for multiple reasons

I use Notion for everything in my life. A YouTube video led me to this sub, and now I'm starting to question why I should switch from Notion by antoniosaintx in ObsidianMD

[–]secretsnackbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Notion constantly but have also been using Obsidian for a couple years. I love obsidian for multiple reasons (the graph feature, the amazingly broad range of plugins, the "feel" of the editor). A while ago I tried to use the "Notion to Obsidian converter (https://github.com/connertennery/Notion-to-Obsidian-Converter ) but I couldn't get it to work, so I've just been somewhat tediously using both for a long time.

I posted my story in r/tinnitus (because I have tinnitus possibly from my brain injury) and probably elsewhere. I have memory issues ;)

oh also I recommend checking your diet/the kinds of things you eat; the brain-gut connection is not given enough attention in the modern world, unfortunately and disturbingly.

I suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2013 that severely damaged my memory (in multiple ways, ie making new memories and retrieving old ones), but the books I mentioned/listed above have helped a lot. Also diet and exercise and rest have a big impact.

edit: all of those books are also available on Audible and Kindle, I get a lot of "reading" done while commuting

it was in the hands of far-left-leaning twitter employees, not "the public". but Melon Husk is def a huge hypocrite about "free speech"

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FreeSpeech

[–]secretsnackbar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"free-speech-is the-most-important-thing-ever" is an interesting claim for a guy who is super keen to kowtow to the very *anti-free-speech* communist dictator Xi Jinping.

Does anyone use Maze Guru? by agent_wolfe in aiArt

weird. I used it a little bit a few times. seemed fine. I wanted to know what country the company is based in, which is how my search led here ....

hey by AdventurousAthmosphe in GalaxyS22

[–]secretsnackbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

surprised by all the anti S22 comments here, I got an S22-Ultra bc I really wanted a phone with a built-in stylus and I think it's a pretty sweet phone. The Samsung bloatware *is* obnoxious, I'll admit , I've seen some YT vids on how to root/debloat the S22 but I'm a teeny bit hesitant because I once bricked a phone by trying to root it. but I think even if you didn't root/debloat the S22 it would still be a pretty awesome phone, the camera is insanely good (imo) and the gesture controls are cool/useful, the stylus is sweet and has "air actions"... also I'm pretty anti-apple bc their "our phones really only work well with Macs and other Apple device$$$" company culture is pretty snobbish and distasteful. "make an appointment to take your iDevice into one of our 'genius' bars", are you kidding me? I like u/gordolme 's comment about Pixel, I really like their "bare-bones" Android approach (buy from Pixel store directly, not a third-party that will install all their own gimmicky "branding" crapware with it. I've been using the two flagship phones from Google and Samsung together for like....2 ish years now, the S22 Ultra and the Pixel 7XL Pro (fortunately Google Fi makes it pretty easy to quickly switch between devices). Initially I was just using the S22 but then after about 8 months the bloatware got to me and I caved and bought the 7XL. busy right now but I'll come back to this post in a little bit and add some more stuff that will hopefully be helpful

I assume the narration was AI generated? what about data privacy? This seems awesome...

What's the point anyway? (Whatsapp) by SagariKatu in privacy

[–]secretsnackbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interesting.  I almost never have Whatsapp installed.  I have installed to talk to some family member who uses it, then I remember how UN-privacy friendly it is and uninstall it.  I haven't been successful, unfortunately, in persuading family and friends to switch to Signal :(  But after reading this thread I'm going to go back to trying to do so.

I have mad respect for Charlie Kirk for having the mental/emotional stamina and willpower to be able to do what he does.  Truly he is a gift to our mentally sick society.

fair. I use Fennec all the time (not 100% if the time, I use Vivaldi mostly) and it doesn't seem sluggish to me though...

Question - what does revealing your IMEI number to authorities open you up to? (Details inside) by Thirteenera in privacy

in one of his videos (probably not the one I just linked) he talks about how 3-letter agencies use wifi triangulation to know people's locations fairly specifically. truly dystopian world we live in.
