let’s hope they won’t just hop on an open wifi and do whatever, but hoping is the most we can do.
never had such a device, if it works with Hass (offline) that’s kind of good, but I wonder if they are hackable before connecting them to a network, because they run a hotspot or something
if you are not white, are you closer to being a rando, or to being (perceived as) an actual threat?
unconfortable but true
If one person calls the emergency line with an emergency and doesn’t get through because the human dispatchers are currently overwhelmed with non-emergency calls, does that mean the entire current system is failed and someone should go to jail?
I don’t think so, because currently there is no artificial delay. if someone has to be got rid of, that is the person(s) who are keeping the call center short staffed, whoever that is and whatever high up the chain they are
one of the most important factors with emergency services is that there is as little delay as possible. and that starts at the phone call. if everyone is delayed by this screening, and then they’ll maybe get through to a person, it’ll be much less likely that the person calling will be able to even just get assistance in time
do you remember which instance had those users? or the instance that has the community you posted to?
there are a handful that I think most of us or our admins are blocking, because they are toxic and have a brigading culture

check if their website is okay. privacy wise it’s much better to use a webpage than an app
because that’s the new hip OS
if you read further, he writes about peertube too
Decision is yours, same as our decisions are ours.
Honestly, I think that is not really helpful.
they are working on it
don’t worry, they didn’t abandon it. they have continued development hidden from sight in the android version of the chromium engine
sounds good, where can we obtain it?
when a large, trump supporter corporation, with its main business being habit and environment tracking based personalized advertising, has so deep access to your phone as it literally builfs the operating system for it, maybe it is indeed already compromised.
I know several people in my community who confidently trust it for search. they are not stupid people… but sometimes I question their choices
that’s not just useless defeatism, but also false. effective end to end encryption exists in multiple forms today.
signal, maybe even with a custom server.
matrix if the server is being ran on trusted hardware.
XMPP too with the right extensions.
LLMs are more like a leaf blower though
fucking liar
