Keys, phone, wallet. Watch if needing to know the time is relevant on my trip.

I'm a simple man.

Tempo is beautiful. I was using it but was having some crashes so I switched to dsub2000. Not as pretty but functioned better for me. Tempo is a fantastic choice though.

 

Have you had any privacy wins recently? Anything you've tried or tweaked to improve your privacy? Anyone who's listened to something you've said? Do you have any privacy enhancing projects or changes you're working on implementing

I managed to convert someone to Signal this week. Was having reception difficulties with a phone call (both of us in spotty areas) and after a drop out, managed to get them on board with Signal. A very notable quality improvement in the call which helped reinforce to them it was a good idea.

I'm going to work on setting up Pihole over the weekend.

Note: I did steal this topic idea from Techlore.

This is a really good ad.

Tried dual booting Ubuntu and XP back around 2006, didn't really see the point because gaming on Windows.

2020 got a Raspberry Pi and set up Retropie which gave me a good intro to Linux. Tried to get away from big tech in 2021 and was dual booting Mint and Windows 10. Ended up spending more time in 10 because gaming.

Got an old laptop from work and it was perfect to throw Mint on because no way it was going to handle gaming. Then I set up a media server, initially with the the Pi and then bought a cheap mini for it - and ran it on Mint. I'm primarily a console gamer now so gaming is far less of a concern for me on PC. Mint everything now.

I could distro hop or at least try something else, and maybe I will at some stage. But I'm too happy with Mint/Cinnamon to bother.

Doesn't look like anything for Ubuntu Touch, PostmarketOS or even LineageOS. If you are looking at another phone each of the operating system's websites list compatibility and what features are supported.

It wasn't Discord itself that got breached it was their service provider. The article does mention age verification data. So possibly k-ID which I've found on their support site as the provider for age verification. And what do they say about saving those?

Discord and k-ID do not permanently store personal identity documents or your video selfies. Images of your identity documents and ID match selfies are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed, and the video selfie used for facial age estimation never leaves your device.

Thank you for this. I've been under the impression that energy drinks had more than coffee for years now.

Yeah that's my bad. You are literally correct. I was meaning more figuratively and going with MP3 as a general term rather than the format specifically.

I guess it's no different to a CD really. Just a smaller file on a bigger storage medium.

 

In any format? I prefer to buy video games physically and have a respectable book, VHS and vinyl record collection. Though the majority of my music and video-based entertainment are digital.

An Evangelion AMV set to I'm Not Okay (I Promise) by My Chemical Romance. It was on YouTube and uploaded by a channel Ahhh123the8ball. But taken down for music reasons. Many years ago.

You might get lucky just using the browser.

But unless you're using pihole or some sort of DNS based ad blocking you will likely get smashed with ads.

Cater to the audience. Being understood is more useful than being right.
