As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion....
Yeah it was fun in the beginning, after all who never thought about being transported to another world where you ate a big hero with swords and magic?...
Like why do they care how many times I go to porn hub every day or that nothing gets me harder than a free use MILF? Why do they care that I don’t know how to spell consistency so I have to Google it every 3 months....
It is not about having your particular data. Is about the aggregated data of a population. On a shallow level that information can be used to engineer ads to appeal to a greater audience. On a deeper level, population dynamics can be used for nefarious purposes such as driving them to an agreement that wasn’t in their best interest. Brexit and the Trump election are two examples of this being possible thanks to data from Cambridge Analytica. See voting paradoxes and Asimov’s psychohistory that each day is getting farther from fictional.
Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing....
Yeah. Anyone who hasn’t used Claude 3 Opus and thinks they know how good or not these models are should really be testing it out in the direct chat of chat.lmsys.org
I’m not hearing the japanese voices while reading the subtitles, I’m hearing my own voice. Also too busy reading to understand it. Cannot look away either. Voice acting in most dubs is alright....
I’ve been watching Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End recently, and that show has an excellent English dub, to the point where I’m going back and rewatching episodes I’ve already seen just to see it with the dub, because it’s really, really good.
But these are the exception, and not the rule. On the rare occasions I do watch anime, I typically watch it subbed, because most dubs are just…bad.
Catima (saves barcodes for gift cards, gym memberships, etc so you don’t have to worry about the physical card)

10,000 Sentences (a language practicing app that doesn’t have a mildly threatening owl 😉)
OSMAnd+ Mapillary, Overlay Maps, and 3D Features (seriously, the best. I only use Google maps to get around traffic these days since, unfortunately, Magic Earth doesn’t work very well in my area)
Obtanium (as a gateway to lesser known software, no shipping to an app store required!)
RethinkDNS (an absolutely amazing piece of software that gives you fine-grained control of the domains your apps are talking to. A bit of a battery sync but it’s been a game changer for me. On my GrapheneOS setup I use it in the Google sandbox to reduce the amount of data scraping servers my Google apps can talk to)
I'm slowly catching up with backlog tasks and cleaning up instances, but there's still quite a bit to do. Day by day, I'm managing to work longer hours, but I still need some time to ramp up the intensity of work.

I check in here quite often, but for now, I'm just focusing on clearing spam and keeping the instance alive. In January, I was working on the AP module, and there has been significant progress in the work, which hasn't been publicly published yet. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, I developed a skin condition that...
I want to mainly use it for privacy over its “security”. I don’t know what makes everyone fine with running it on fucking google pixels. Is there some kind of “low security” version or something for other phones? I’m so tired of certain organizations infiltrating privacy communities and making people believe in...
