There are scammer call centers in many countries throughout the world. So unless you want to start shutting off a lot of developing nations from the internet, that’s not a good solution.

It’s also not a good solution because there will always be a workaround.

Right, the real solution is not letting old people answer phone calls anymore, I guess, lol.

Most contractors or companies providing services related to home maintenance/improvement. I guess it’s not really a ‘scam’ but you are getting charged 10x+ the cost to do whatever when you could probably do it yourself with some research and persistence.

Poor hexbear and ml users can’t even speak the truth out here without down clicks, gotta get the .ca to post for them so it gets up clicks. Preach brother!

I get your perspective, but complete automation with as little human input as possible is exactly how you make cheap products.

Link shared by somebody else down below, but it’s not really a labor camp as you might be thinking. It’s more of a rehabilitation into the workforce program.

The article is about nicotine vapes, not weed.

As long as you are low temp vaping weed, dry herb vapes don’t emit any meaningful amount of carcinogens till you start getting above 180C. Inhaling anything besides air isn’t great but as far I’m aware (I’m not super educated on the matter) low temp dry herb weed vapes are less harmful than the nasty disposal nic vapes everyone’s addicted too.

xD now I can’t fix it

This play port is superior and is what is used on most high-end GPUs.

Maybe not how it’s supposed to work, but it is how it’s always worked.

Gotta start somewhere. De-googling takes time and even if you never fully get there, just cutting off some of the big services that they harvest your data from like Gmail and Photos is a great first step.

I have my Pixel 9 plugged in the majority of the time so I’ve had the cap max battery setting turned on since I got it so it only ever goes up to 80%. I’m hoping this keeps the battery in good health for at least five or six years so I can keep using this thing.

If you actually want to do it, have faith in yourself. It’s not that hard if you read the guide and watch a YouTube video or two. You’re probably smarter than you give yourself credit.

Pixel 9 with Graphene OS. I don’t really bother with backups besides my personal photos since there’s nothing critical on my phone. But I use immich for photos hosted on my unraid server.

I do have two backup Raspberry Pis, one at my house and one at a friend’s, that my photos and other critical data is backed up to daily.

Chainsaw man is pretty good

Same, my unraid server is over 40 tb but I only have ~1.5 tb of critical data, being my immich photos and some files. I have an on site and off site raspberry pi with 4tb nvme SSD for nightly backups

I think the laws the government are passing around online Id requirements and trying to force companies to break encryption so they can have pervasive surveillance powers are very dystopian and the main thing I’m talking about. I’m sure the people and cities are very nice though, I’ve never been

The issue happening in Japan is that there won’t be enough young people to support all the old people who can’t work

Could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the original comment is talking about how the UK is pretty fascist and dystopian as well.

Right, why leave China when you’ve committed that much already and risk prosecution
