Substance_P,

I see a pattern here…

One of the primary methods Hitler employed to control the media was censorship. Upon assuming power, he established the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

The Ministry implemented strict censorship policies, ensuring that only content aligned with Nazi ideology was allowed to be disseminated. Any dissenting voices or information critical of the regime were met with threats of sovereign rights, property and freedom of speech suppressed, those who were found guilty were often eliminated altogether.

Substance_P,

So we are going to have to go back to the old CB radio… Oh wait.

Does anyone actually successfully use OSMAnd or Organic Maps for navigation consistently?

I ask because I have tried both and neither consistently find destinations I need, and when they do, they don’t route me there in the fastest or most efficient way possible. My first experience with Organic Maps, for instance, tried to turn what was usually a 4 hour drive into a nearly 6 hour drive. I used Google Maps to get...

Substance_P,

For me it’s at its best when using it offline and without decent phone signal. I mostly use it off the beaten track, cycling, hiking and when needing to understand the terrain. I wouldn’t use it as a substitute for Google maps or Waze though.

Substance_P,

I would look to someone such as Michael Bazzell, he has a great podcast "the privacy, security and OSINT show. He offers loads of information on privacy and can advise on what you are looking for. Check his website : inteltechniques.com/index.html

Fantastic! I have a question regarding the app. I understand that it can translate words and text from pictures, but I also noticed a microphone feature which I assume is for voice dictation. How does the app process voice input? Is the voice data sent to a server for translation, and if so, who is responsible for handling this data?

Substance_P,

Thanks for this, yeah I also looked at the privacy policy on GitHub and it was pretty well bare bones. I haven’t ever used the voice to text function nor the dictation abilities on my phone due to Google services having mostly a monopoly over crunching the data. I know that now days we are starting to see more A.I driven services, and I’d admit that I am not 100% in the know, but I’d assume that Google will be handling this part of the translation as it’s reliable and free.

This is incredible, thanks for the heads up, I’ve been looking an app like this for a good while.

Substance_P,

In my country Lemsip Max Cold and Flu Capsules contain a few other ingredients, I’m not sure if they are the same with yours. They say they contain a combination of paracetamol, phenylephrine hydrochloride, and caffeine. I think that the combo helps with congestion as well, and obviously if it has caffeine, so it’ll give you a buzz (never in a great way in my opinion) - Basic Paracetamol works for the pain and fever part. It is commonly used to alleviate symptoms such as headache, muscle aches, sore throat, and fever.

Hope you get better soon!

Substance_P,

Good to know and yes I’ve been seeing reports on this.

Substance_P,

Come on its a walk in the park, everyone knows that Nanosheet GAA transistors behave differently than familiar FinFETs, so EDA and other tool and IP makers had to build their products from scratch. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That anger management it’s a challenge, you need to work harder buddy.

Substance_P,

Silencing the media can be accomplished through several methods, such as censorship, self-censorship, and prior restraint by a controlling state or government. By leveraging this power, an entity can more easily manipulate the narrative and stifle dissenting voices, thereby directing the flow of propaganda. If we introduce the notion of being anti-Semitic and the fear of being perceived as racist, it becomes even easier for genocide to commence.

"The media is the most powerful institution in the world, because it has the power to shape the perceptions of the public."

High-Ranking House Republican Wants Democrats’ Help Electing A Speaker (www.forbes.com)

Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), who chairs the Armed Services Committee, told reporters Thursday after a closed-door House GOP meeting that he wants Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to tell Republicans what concessions they’ll have to make for Democrats to help them elect a speaker—underscoring the chaotic race to find a...

Privacy-preserving solution for managing subscriptions

I’m looking for a way to keep track my recurring subscriptions. I just want a nice overview of recurring payments and where they come from, I don’t need a solution to actively go and manage the subscriptions for me. Unfortunately my bank, despite being a trendy digital bank, does not have a good built-in tool for this....

Substance_P,

Oh yes privacy.com, may as well sign up to google docs, they only need to collect…

Your name email address phone number birth date government-issued identification number payment card and bank information Device Data hardware model operating system Location Cookies Beacons… among others.

Substance_P,

Yeah I was being a bit facetious I admit and I agree what you said is 100%. No data is safe these days and I guess I was trying to outline the fact that signing up to privacy.com is no different than signing up to a new banking institution. It’s who and what you trust in the end and for what it’s worth, privacy.com has a great concept and it would be a great option to use if trying to avoid personalcredit card scams and fraudulent activity.

Great governance! let’s allocate more taxes offshore, meanwhile the Pentagon failed a fifth consecutive audit last November, when it could only account for 39 percent of its $3.5 trillion in assets. Nevertheless, the military received $858 billion which is only 10% increase in the last omnibus spending bill, for the record this is not a partisan issue.

And let’s not talk about the Feds 3.3 billion dollar spending spree on ridiculously expensive furniture during the pandemic.

nypost.com/…/federal-agencies-spent-3-3-billion-o…

The military industrial complex is a money sponge, the Fed cries inflation worries while misappropriating funds and the border wall is simply a distraction, these multifaceted spending bills have become an absurd slush fund source for both sides of the aisle.

Substance_P,

Zelenskyy looks like a desperate door to door salesman in that Pic, I bet Putin is thrilled that all the attention, media and potential arms pledges have now swung to the Middle East.

What are people using to access Lemmy using a desktop, what are the preferred apps or clients that you use on either Mac or Windows.

There are plenty of third party apps for Lemmy on Android/iPhone or Web, but are there any decent apps built for desktop use? Is it just simply a matter of relying on a web interface currently, or are there any well rounded apps out there that are worth mentioning.

Substance_P,

Good to know, I was just having flashbacks to using Reddit on a browser and thought a dedicated App may be something in the wild out there.

Substance_P,

Nice one, will definitely try this one out.

Substance_P,

Yeah I know, I am interested in the privacy side of things as well, so having a Mozilla based privacy centric browser on top of using lemmy on the web sounds like a great approach for me.

Substance_P,

Thanks for this, it’s an interesting option, I tried it on my M1 Mac and it’s pretty close to what I was hoping for. Using a web app and browser for me doesn’t always work well when I decide to shut down and clear my cookies, this will always force me to sign in again.

Substance_P,

Love the interface and it does cover the entire screen, dark mode is a plus as well, thanks checking it out now.
