The way we socialise has changed to the point where it’s normal to talk to people over text chat. This leaves a footprint that talking face to face with someone does not.

In addition to other privacy concerns, I don’t want things I say that I would’ve gotten away with had I spoken it to my friends in real life, to come back and haunt me, either by a platform having a massive data breach, or it being used as evidence in a legal case against me.

On that last point, I’m not using chat services to organise crime, but taken out of context, any message I send can paint a picture that I’m an awful person and change some jury’s opinion of me. This isn’t something I want to think about before sharing a dank meme to a friend on discord.

Until we get AI that mimics the layers

I believe there is still a major court case underway to decide if AI trained on copyrighted data makes it’s derivative works copyrighted too.

It’s an important court battle because it will set a precedent for every other AI related case for all the other AI companies

Royalties every time you use a line from a Disney musical in spoken conversation

Thank you for sharing the lies that trump supporters tell themselves. I think you’re getting downvoted because you forgot the /s

Abusive + overprotective mother growing up

Now I hardly have any feelings, let alone romantic ones, I associate the words “I love you” with danger, I actively avoid hugs because I never had that growing up… I could go on

Then she has the audacity to ask when she’s getting grandkids

You can change which Bluetooth audio protocol is being used in the developer options

Search up how to enable developer options on Android. It’s almost always from tapping the build number a certain number of times

And also not born in the United States

What goes on in an agitation washing machine that affects how shoes clean?

Can’t wait for people to deliberately add the metadata to their image as a meme, such that a legit photograph without any AI used gets the unremovable made with ai tag

Sure But you could also achieve a similar effect in-camera by zooming in or moving closer to the subject

Looking at you, Adobe

Or leave it in the office, always on charge, and with no lock screen so anyone can take the phone and accept a request

My entire life is about using logic instead of emotions to make decisions. Fortunately I am slowly getting the help that I need, but for now: Using logic definitely allows me to get by in daily life, even if it would be better to be able to describe my actual emotions

I have the same combo of illnesses (though maybe less intense Alexithymia)

A useful resource for me is an emotion wheel (you can find one with your favourite search engine)

It has tiers to it, so you could start with happy, for example, then get more specific with the sub-categories

You and I both know there would be great difficulty in identifying what actual emotion you feel with regards to your childhood home, even with an emotion wheel. Since you’re not being judged on the accuracy on the emotions identified, you can pick a few that sounds reasonable.

For me, your assignment would more feel like a language exercise of picking the right word that makes sense in context, rather than thinking about the actual emotions experienced. In this case, the emotion wheel would help by acting as a reference of emotions to consider, and act as a sanity check if you’re writing something positive but chose an emotion that is a sub category of anger, for example

8.1 as well

So what you’re saying is we should short the stock to make it big

Could even open a lawsuit and force reddit to investigate how much of their traffic is bots, immediately after the IPO

It’s not like we’ll not see it coming Once threads.net starts federating with the big instances, it’s all over

The information that can be gathered and sold is pretty intense, even when your account is on another instance

• All your posts and comments (this is public information, no cause for alarm)
• Everything you upvote/downvote
• Every time you load an image from another instance (link tracking, can probably be correlated with your IP address you signed into facebook with)
• With enough posts in your feed tracking you, a general picture of your interests and time of day you interact with lemmy will form, which can be sold

I think you’re confusing “encrypted in transit” versus “end to end encryption”

Your email between protonmail and gmail would be encrypted between the servers, but both protonmail and gmail could read your email. OpenPGP makes it so incoming emails are encrypted with your public key, so there’s an extra stage of encryption that only your email client can decipher. OpenPGP therefore has the capacity for end to end encryption

Time for some user agent spoofing
