  • Totally! So videogames didn't exist a 100 years ago, much less 10,000 years ago, the rules aren't written yetand there is no evolutionary reason to think by 30s you can't. Do whatever you want and challenge yourself often

    VPN and tailscale blocked on hotel wifi
  • Most hotels are terrible and even block any DNS configurations that aren't controlled by them. If you do figure out a way, can you update your original post?

    Opinions on Session?
  • It's nice, reliable and super quick to on board people since no sign up required. Technology seems interesting and novel, and it's also transparent since it even shows the node path (in addition to being FOSS)

    Do I trust it? No, but I don't trust technology in general

    Talk me down: Teams could be a tool of mass data gathering
  • Yeah, watch the network traffic from Teams and kind hard not to think of them as data harvesters. In a day, there are close to a hundred servers involved that will leave your country for no functional reason

  • I am busy and don't have time to research all of the ways corporations have poisoned us.

    What are some good rules on how to avoid microplastics?

    Eat local foods? Avoid processed foods? Walk/bike? Use dry soaps? Don't use any take away containers? Avoid walking near busy roads? Use cotton/wool for all clothing?

    I'm learning a language, I speak it in public to other people who do. I don't research the language, because I have some old text books on it. My partner doesn't speak it and doesn't research it on their devices. I don't normally have my phone on me in public, but my partner does. It took about 4 months of publicly speaking in the language before they got ads

    What do you think this means?

    ::edit::

    It was a Reddit ad and my city has embraced those AI smart cameras, so I assume some of those are Google owned which makes sense with Reddit and Google's recent alliance. This is assuming our devices aren't listening to us without our permission and AI cameras are mining data on passersby

    Other theories are that since cellphones are involved it doesn't matter if I nor my partner ever searched for the language, at some point my phone or partner's phone was near someone who spoke that language and the data brokers/ad sellers inferred from there

    Seems like the consensus is that I must have posted in the language on some social media or used Google to research it or made some new friends who speak the language and that's why

    Assuming the title to be accurate, what is a good way for the working class (90%+ of all humans) to save and succeed in this current environment?
