What about something xmpp-based like Jabber, Prosody, or Snikket?

This is pretty cool, thanks for sharing!

Haha yeah my bad no context.

My concern and reason for signing was, my kid in hs said a guy in class was using them, joking about use for a test. Then someone commented if he was uploading pics of his gf yet (popular girl I assume)and I really grew concerned. I totally get kids joking around, but at the point of under age limit, where do you draw the line is the device is always recording data? You could make moderators unintentionally view CP to a degree.

Yes, “public” doesn’t immediately scream privacy, however, when i walk around the city, NOBODY knows who I am. They won’t remember my face, don’t know my name, address, etc. So, there’s privacy from humans since we don’t all wear name tags with our phone number or address.

Overhearing a conversion is one thing, but recording it is a whole other issue! What about self incrimination? What about no consent from being recorded? I think of a show, Impractical Jokers, where they do a lot of stuff in public, and sometimes faces are blurred likely bc that person didn’t consent. Why would these social media stuff be any different?!

Idk, I think It’s awful, and worse so since Zuck pushed back on the lawsuit to get gov regulation in social media and age verification. To me, they’re buying politicians left and right, so they’ll get their way, but it’s “security theater” action basically. Especially data harvesting! Nothing more.

Thank you for the explanation!

Really??? That’s insane it resets so much! Who is your ISP?

I’m calling it now: it’ll somehow be linked to overuse or high consumption of caffeine that affects the imbalance because you’re not relying on your body to figure It out… Or something…

Anyway, since 20+Years ago all the hype with energy drinks and higher caffeine, depression has dramatically increased too. I’m sure social media doesn’t help either.

It’s the old story of boiling a frog alive!

You increase the temp too fast or throw him into boiling water hell get out. If you slowly increase the temp from cool to boil, it’ll get cooked alive.

Society incrementally gets worse so it’s hardly noticeable. Inflation made the news a few years back but now it’s all hush hush. Everything can go unnoticed until it doesn’t, and most things are so subtle, most people don’t give it a second thought.

Or like buying a new car and then you see that same model everywhere. Now that you’re familiar, is easier to see. Same with security and privacy!!

I’m think I’m going to make a shirt that says, “Don’t scan me” so that all the flock, security systems, etc auto scan, but humans hopefully wouldn’t. Obviously if they did they’d be idiots.

It would be nice if it were a simple reboot command or something harmless, but it’d cause me to essentially be invisible walking through an area as every camera would reboot and go offline a couple minutes.

Makes me chuckle as it’d puzzle anyone reviewing the footage!

Oh wow! That’s pretty excessive lol. Is it CGNAT maybe?

I’m late to the party, but could everyone answer me this- how often does you’re public IP actually change with any of your ISPs??

With the numerous companies I’ve used, the ONLY time I’ve ever seen my IP change is getting a new modem through, say, Comcast or whoever. It goes by MAC address, and if you use Comcast and then set to bridge mode and use your own device, that’s a new MAC so you’d get a new public IP. Swap ISPs obviously a new IP.

I’ve NEVER randomly received a new IP when using the same equipment consistently, so I’m not sure why everyone’s so worried about dynamic DNS stuff… Maybe outside the US is different? I’ve lived in a few States and it’s always the same. If you make a hardware change, just note you should also double check your IP and update it, that’s all.

Meme or not, I don’t get everyone’s obsession with this guy. Never fucking heard of him until he died.

Holy shit, people. I feel there are comments from non-gamers and all “AI” haters.

A. Game developers are constantly chasing the photorealism aspect, and if there’s a chip that helps to achieve this in real-time, they’ll want to get help achieving this.

B. It’s not film, not even close. There’s not 1 single director who wants it done 1 way. It’s not ruining the “artists original intent” because so many aspects are developed in fragments and then pieced together to make characters or scenes or certain elements, etc. Most goals are to captivate the player, get a lot of time spent playing, and this is a way to do it.

C. It’s also taking advantage of some hardware elements to enhance the player experience. I remember jumping from a GTX 10 series to a RTX 30 series and seeing improvements since it had ray tracing lighting effects. Most people want the realism in more than just cut scenes. They want to feel they’re inside something real. It’s also just fun to spend time admiring the realism inside a game. And people insulting this ate clearly ai haters. This is sort of a different system of inelegance, not some LLM trying to interpret what it thinks you want, smh.

It was also a mess as there was a lot of confusion around “64-bit” and “32-bit” systems that even most retailers weren’t sure how to describe. Dude it was entertaining talking to best buy his who weren’t even sure how to explain it all and the compatibility issues.

I didn’t like Vista myself, but 8 seemed to be modernized enough and get away from Aero icons and glassy things.

You mean when care was taken while coding and an OS could "run on 1GB but suffice with 2GB? I know everyone hated Win 8 but it was a welcomed change plus no bullshit on it at the time.

well, they tell you they hold data for up to 7 years for legal reasons, but I deleted this stuff about 10+ years ago.

Unfortunately, Facebook build data profiles for non users too, so they can continue tracking based on crappy face detection or people being tagged in photos. I don’t really know if it’s even worth trying to sue, because they could “accidentally acquire” info about you from data brokers when they buy in bulk.

However, it never hurts to minimize what they have access to!

No time like the present to get of all social media and big tech!!! Then request your data be deleted!

Waterfox is a great all-around platform for desktop and mobile.

You would need to enlighten enough people to wake them up without making then feel uncomfortable they’ve been believing a lie. Nobody likes to feel foolish for what they’ve believed in.

But fighting for a common cause helps to unite people by putting aside their differences.

Also, REALLY good start is get people OFF of major tech. Hurt their profits by reducing the content they profit off of (selling user data), which in turn reduces ad revenue too. Then they simultaneously they can’t afford to buy out politicians who make favorable policies for big tech and social media.

The more we can reduce big tech, the less all the data brokers can profit from since a major data contributor vanishes. Eventually, we gain the proper people in office who are pro people and not technology, and eventually the people win.

Other battles are big pharma and the auto industry as both also utilize data brokers. The only way that gets fixed falls back to the right people in leadership roles.

Lol, probably does. Not to get all technical and shit, but since so many people love Joel Osteen (maybe not here) but as a motivational speaker, not a pastor. His title might be pastor, but I feel like so many who are “religious” are just looking for ‘feel good’ messages, and not taking the aspect and point of religion seriously. It’s too inconvenient to properly live the right lifestyle-yet they like you think they’re all high and mighty for “being a Christian” and are completely hypocritical at the same time.
