Ha at least you had the chance to change your flag. I don’t think Australia ever got as close as New Zealand did to changing it.

Australia & New Zealand. The two are too similar and IMO keeping the Union Jack on your flag while being an independent nation adds to the confusion. Canada had the right idea with the maple leaf.

In your experience do sites fail open or closed if the JavaScript from the third party not load? Like will the site wait for the event of the JavaScript library is never requested or loaded?

Can’t this just be a filter in uBlock Origin? What does this do that is special that uBlock Origin can’t do?

Funny Games shouldn’t really count because it’s the same director with an actual budget to do what he wanted to do in the first place.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

It seems more likely to me that the administration and various 3 letter agencies couldn’t connect the dots with the information they had, rather than a vast conspiracy of them enabling or orchestrating the terrorist event that makes them look stupid, and then getting everyone involved to stay silent for 25+ years.

I see, admittedly I didn’t check too closely but see what you’re saying now. I’ve had good luck with this app for tracking other BLE devices around. FWIW the MAC address filter takes a wild card value (using *), but I’m not too familiar with how the manufacturer ID and MAC address manufacturer prefix are related, if at all. Anyway, all this to say that while the NoPeek app is focused on just smart glasses, other apps exist that have similar functionality, and are easier to install.

If you go to Radar Alerts, set the filter to use the manufacturer. The readme in OPs GitHub page lists these manufacturers: https://github.com/getnopeek/nopeek-android#️-devices-detected

https://github.com/BLE-Research-Group/MetaRadar

why does this need to be a separate app? There are other Bluetooth apps which will notify you when it sees a device with a mac address and will record the signal strength and keep a record on a map. Just add a profile to those apps for the manufacturer mac prefix.

Seriously this. The success of a public service shouldn’t be how much revenue is generated or shareholder value is gained. We as a society are the shareholders and deserve infrastructure that works for us. Corporations have pushed the idea that lower taxes is better, but when you have to spend more to a company to get basic necessities, you’re not really coming out on top buddy.

FWIW, if you suspect your machine has been compromised, the binaries for common tools like ps and top shouldn’t be relied upon since those probably were tampered with to hide the malicious program from the output. At that point, you’d probably want to check each running process manually under /proc/.

Relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/2501/

There are plenty of python libraries which have compiled components, such as pandas, which is compiled on install via pip install. Some package managers have precompiled binaries, but you would need to make sure you have the right version for the project.

I don’t see how it could federate unless the other lemmy instances are on I2P also. This seems more like an isolated/standalone idea for an instance

IMO, you can only be considered a fan if you have one or more blades that are angled in such a way so that they push air in one direction to create a current of air for cooling or ventilation.

Their API documentation being a shit show is an understatement. Nothing is consistent, or complete in the documentation. The forums are a better way to determine what is and isn’t available based on people poking and prodding to actually figure out how the API works.

How does Lemmy prevent this?

And if you comply with unjust laws, then it’s way harder to challenge them in the courts.

This is one of the most sensible comments in the thread. The law is the problem. This is something which should have been self regulated by websites themselves, but Meta lobbied for laws like this so they wouldn’t have to police it. The law making this mandatory for everyone when this should be a parental control is the issue.
