Is this a suggestion to set up a bot to crosspost videos from YouTube (with the original video owner’s consent and knowledge)?

Off topic: As someone who just got a verbal reprimand at work for “language” due to having an outburst of irritation where an explosive expletive was used (which is a common enough occurrence in the hangar where I work), I’m seriously about to start auto censoring everything in the most gen Alpha way possible just to annoy the others.

I use Apex Launcher. It’s not exactly the same but it works for me.

He also sells a lot of his “good side” via short form videos on Tik Tok and YouTube etc. So when you only get a snippet or two of him talking or answering questions, and he seems like he’s encouraging people to learn to code or do game dev etc it sounds nice. It sounds like he’s being supportive of his audience. It seems like he’s just a dude. But when you get right down to it, that doesn’t bear out who he is, even his actual online persona in his long form content or streams.

I suggested “Fedlings” in the main thread and I think that could work for the fediverse at large.

I really like it too. If it takes off, no need to attribute it to me. I’m sure other people have also thought of it.

I like “Fedlings” personally.

I use it to charge my work phone in the field if I need to. I’ve also used it to charge my headphones or similar (also in the field). I always feel like there’s lots of use cases people miss because they don’t use a feature so they don’t care if other people do.

Pretty much. We all know this isn’t about protecting kids, it’s about over policing people and invading their privacy.

My advice (even if you do decide to us a separate device for gaming) is to get rid of anything that does telemetry, tracking, ad service, or AI. If you have a pro version or enterprise version of windows 11 you can use Group Policy Editor to remove or disable a lot of stuff and what is left is usually taken care of by Registry Editor in the command line. You can find many guides online that will walk you through how to debloat and remove a lot of the stuff MS uses to track you. I recommend this for anyone who uses windows.

There’s also a lot of stuff you can turn off from the setting menu that may help if you’re privacy conscious. It also might not hurt to make your account local rather that one attached to outlook or MS services (I recognize this may not be possible depending on what you use for work).

You may also want to try a different distribution of Linux that’s specifically made for gaming. I don’t know what kind of graphics card you have but the proton compatibility layer has been getting better overtime and so you might give that a shot.

I don’t think you’re really addressing what I said. You took one thing out of it you didn’t like to argue about and left the rest as if it didn’t exist.

There is nothing stopping this establishment (regime, government, whatever you want to call it) from deciding that the Real ID is the only valid government ID and that state ID or Driver’s License isn’t a valid form of identification. You posit that the Real ID could in some way be invalidated or change the rules making it unstable for things like voting or identification in certain circumstances and that this is a reason to get a passport or a State ID.

This neglects states where it is illegal to have both a state ID and a driver’s license, people who can’t afford both, people who can’t afford a passport etc.

Most state websites will mention somewhere that a state ID acts as a form of identification within the state. Meaning the federal government could absolutely not consider it a valid form of identification. Other states aren’t even required to take your state ID as a valid form of identification.

You’re also neglecting that plenty of states haven’t enacted a mandatory Real ID program yet or it hasn’t gone into affect yet, however that may happen in a year, two years etc and so not getting a Real ID upon renewal will end up costing them more money they don’t necessarily have.

Your reasons for not getting a Real ID aren’t even particularly clear and you didn’t answer any clarifying questions.

What makes the Real ID more dangerous than a State ID or Passport?

How much more expensive is it to get a Passport than a Real ID?

Is the process to receive a Real ID in some way more of a risk to personal privacy?

If it is a risk, what are the risks to personal privacy while getting a State ID or Passport?

Is there a reason to believe that this regime or one in the future will preclude Real ID from being used to prove things like citizenship status or voting rights?

As in, not being able to readily Identify yourself because you don’t renew a license or state ID because you’re protesting the Real ID implementation and roll out is likely to result in you not receiving due process.

You either get a driver’s license or a state ID (which may be compliant with Real ID if it’s compliant). You generally can’t have both in any of the 10 states I’ve lived in.

I have been waiting over a year to get a passport. They’re so backed up that they literally just send you your documents back and ask you to reapply in a given amount of time. It’s also more expensive to get a passport than it is to get a driver’s license or “real ID” and you may not have the option to just not have one if you work somewhere that requires it (like an airport).

If your concern is that they might change the rules about being allowed to use Real ID for voting (or that having a Real ID would be a requirement for voting, excluding non-Real ID licenses or state ID’s because the government could potentially invalidate the ID you do have, I’m going to point out that in this time where ICE is literally stealing people off the street regardless of their legal status in the country and deporting them, what you’re suggesting doesn’t make sense especially with the higher bar of entry for a passport, and the fact that some states do not any longer provide any other option besides passport or REAL ID.

I feel like this is one of those situations where you might be able to use something like an NFC tag to force your phone into a locked state where it would require the pin to unlock.

I think an SOS style pin input is great in theory but I don’t know that most people will use it because it’s not necessarily going to help in places where you might be required or forced to give up biometric unlocking credentials (some countries make it so there is not a legal way to refuse to give up your fingerprint or face scan etc). This isn’t any easier than setting a lockdown key combination etc. Currently on my phone the lockdown is set to enable if I press the power button and volume up key at the same time and I think it’s similarly easy to do on iphones.

I feel like this is one of those situations where it also might be a workable idea to use something like an NFC tag to force your phone into a locked state where it would require the pin to unlock. If of course lockdown mode can’t be enabled on your device using a key combo and you have NFC available.

Technically, the other fob shouldn’t be affected if it works the way I think it does. There’s usually a maximum number of keys synced to the vehicle.

This attack basically forces the key fob the flipper zero is substituting itself for to fall out of sync because the flipper zero doesn’t transmit the rollover response from the vehicle back to the key fob. So the F0 sends the rolling code it intercepted from the key fob to the vehicle. Vehicle is like, yep, that’s matches, and then it does it’s rollover and sends out the rollover response. The response doesn’t get back to the key because of range etc and then the key remains a step behind the vehicle in the rollover sequence from then on out.

Technically I think they the key could potentially be resynced to the car. (My understanding is that a key of the correct type could be synced to any car that it can be programmed for so long as the key isn’t physically damaged, and the security module isn’t compromised with malicious code that would prevent it).

I mean. I tell HA “To play that song I like” and it plays “Lone Digger” by Caravan Palace. Back in the olden days of Google Home I had a routine called “shut up” that would turn off the mic if I told it to (if a show or audio playing mentioned “hey google”.

The commercial web that I use that might require ID would be for payment processing etc. My bank knows how old I am. I can and will pay bills directly through my bank instead of using their portal. Or they can explain to me in writing why they don’t want to take my payment. Just about everything else is optional.
