I assume so from what they've said in this thread. Normally I'd say someone just needs to develop thicker skin but a lot of lemmings are perpetually online so I wish JoYo Peace, Pussy (or dick), and the soft touch of grass on a spring meadow morning.

Seriously though if you can't handle your opinions having downvotes, practice makes perfect. You shouldn't shelter yourself from downvotes JoYo, just embrace them and realize you don't need to prove your ideas to anyone but yourself. Look at my comment history, it's a mix of +5-50 and -5-50 (tbh mostly 0s and 1s). People will disagree with you in life, and the answer is not to go on the attack. Take the criticism and accept it or don't, and move on. But if you're getting constant downvotes, always, then there's a reason for it - probably the thing you're obsessed with and keep posting about. If you constantly post about MAGA saving us and the second coming here on Lemmy, you're gonna have a bad time.

Edit: their downvote ratio isn't even bad.

Oh JoYo, my sweet summer adult... conversation and finding common ground is what builds relationships.

Sorry for the long comment I was just saying what I gadda say in the first.

Yeah I went overboard.

Good luck getting into my phone!

That's what I was referring to. I'm glad you live in a country where that scenario seems movie-like but I live in the land of the free.

Oh, you were speaking of the permission not installation method. I missed that. Thank you.

Edit: @Pantherina@feddit.de can you clarify.. you mean "All files access" right? https://gofile.io/d/GnG330

Man at table:

Let me know how that Killswitch on your phone works, hope you configured the power button shutdown press time from the default 10 seconds to 2 seconds, because SWAT can throw a flash bang through your window and have their boot on your neck before you're able to navigate the shutdown screen.

Note: I am in no way siding with any government agency, only stressing that they know about encryption, and their goal is to get you on the ground before you have a chance to shut your phone off. Even if you do manage to turn it off in time, hopefully your phone has the latest and greatest in anti-coldboot technology. I don't know that GrapheneOS or any security mods wipe RAM.

I want to point out how similar this is to the FYES arrangement which allows close allies to spy on each other's citizens to skirt the legal blocks of a country spying on its own citizens. This allowed Facebook to honestly say (from a legal standpoint) they didn't read/use private messages for ads. Because they didn't say they didn't sell private messages to other companies for tons of $$$, and let them do the reading and advertising.

Let's not forget how similar Facebook is to a CIA program that ended from public scrutiny only a few years prior, and how much involvement Facebook now has with US Government entities.

If the CIA (or just Facebook) wanted to

• Kill budding decentralization concepts and

• Cause overload to the system while Facebook retains ultimate control once everyone gives up or only a few small instances are left

Threads is how it would be done. Interesting naming coincidence too, as pulling a thread causes the entire garment to become structurally compromised.

I assume they want it to hide their # of downvotes from their self.

Session installer?

Edit: Just checked, it's on session installer, I don't recall changing it (I remember it walking me through it) so it must be the default or at least recommended.

I don't know, I assumed it was HTTPS vs. HTTP or the way auth tokens are gathered (using your phone to do it instead of their server, possibly linking to your Google account and risking a ban), but since they're both unavailable when the One isn't working it makes me question that assumption. I'm sure someone else can answer.

RIP in piece to the edgelords who spoofed their GPS coordinates to Little Saint James Island to post a fake check-in status on Facebook and Twitter.

odd that much of this traffic to the island happened AFTER Epstein's conviction and "suicide."

There were a lot of people going near there with drones, etc, to get video of the island as well. If nothing else, I'm glad this is doing something to bring the crazy unethical sale of location data to everyone's attention. The FBI isn't supposed to track someone to get this information without a warrant, but when it's on the free market they can just pay for it, and it's all above board. Plenty of articles about it. Even your local small town PD or the DEA or any interested business can do it. It's the easiest way to track someone if you have money and they go everywhere with their phone, and there's never a physical GPS tracker to find.

maybe not everyone

I'd be dumbstruck if every rich client who was woo'd by Epstein in his multibillion dollar money management for the obscenely rich was involved in his sex ring. In fact I'd be incredibly surprised if it was even a quarter of them. Sure, people who seek power and wealth are often involved in bad things, but this is on another level, and it's usually an open secret who the creeps are. Plus even if they were deviants, there has to be a level of self-preservation... "A few of my friends have told me about this 'service', too many people know and this has been going on a long time and he's going to get caught soon, he already has a record as a sex offender, I'm not letting him videotape me and ruin my freedom when I can pay someone's family in a poor country $10,000 and have my pick of the litter."

But knowing and looking the other way? Well, these are people who exploit people for a living. Every billionaire is cutthroat and willing to keep their mouths shut if it will make benefit them.

Mayhaps. It would make sense.

James Thurber described White as a quiet man who disliked publicity and who, during his time at The New Yorker, would slip out of his office via the fire escape to a nearby branch of Schrafft's to avoid visitors he didn't know

The last sentence makes little logical sense to me

The although is the only thing throwing it off. Clearly Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz couldn't handle life anymore, being so ruthless even though he was a sensitive boy, so he drank until his stomach was full of bile and took his life with a lawnmower blade, Slingblade style.

reasons

Considering this was 1956, I would imagine "secret reasons" was used where we would use "personal reasons" today.

Or Mr. White was drunk.

You should edit the title because most people aren't going to click through and read, they're just going to assume the title is correct.

US Government: covertly protects bigfoot using national forests

Covert weed farmers: grow using streams in national forests

Hitmen: use national forests to kill people, still using tarp for some reason
