Not everyone has the technical insight level of an IT professional. Thats why I love this community. Most people give you really solid advice. Thanks to everyone at this point!
Mostly big corporate, big tech, and the US gov't and its intelligence services. I am already in the process of migrating my digital environment towards Linux + self-hosting, but browsing remains a challenge to me.
Basically: I don't want my devices location, metadata and telemetry to be tracked by anyone.
It's worth remembering the direct quotes of Jeffrey Epstein a out DJT.
"none as bad as trump"
"not one decent cell in his body"
"the worst person I've ever known"
"dangerous"
Just imagine having the power of a POTUS, just to metaphorically burn the whole place down, probably while even thinking you are on the winning side. I'd pity him, if he wasnt such a PoS.
bc someone might still be dependent on certain services that he or she wasnt able to replace just yet.
Also: "perfect" is a the arch-enemy of "good". Every bit of de-americanization, de-corporatification counts, and comments like yours somewhat disencourage people to even begin the journey. Bc "why even degoogle my OS, if I cant degoogle from that one since particular service 🤷". It's the same reason some people are not fighting climate change. Why care for my CO2 emission, if India or China wont budge?" We wont score perfect, so I wont even try."
Just coming here to calling you out, @Wudi@feddit.uk. Politico is owned by Axel Springer. They are pursuing an agenda of dividing people and causing hostile behaviour towards minorities. Also owner of the German outlet BILD, which is basically the answer to the question "What if Nigel Farrage became a news paper?". Check your sources, and PLEASE dont support politico with your clicks, and especially not by sharing their garbage.
Mostly plants. It is regarded as a fact that gatherers were known for collecting roots, tubers, bulbs, fruits, berries, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, mushrooms, and herbs. It's also prooven they also gathered honey, eggs, shellfish, insects, larvae, and other small, stationary food sources. Bigger hunts provided larger amounts of meat, but they were unpredictable. Gathering supplied a far more reliable, day-to-day source of calories and nutrients, and in many hunter-gatherer societies it contributed the majority of the regular food inta... This is Shitty ask Lemmy? I am sorry.
Thats the point. We are entering the realm of the unknown. Too many people are way too eager to accept the belief they want to believe. Thats why I am asking for people who actually know more than me.
I honestly dont know how many users on here are US citizens, but you guys really need to break out if this. It's nazi Germany nazi-US-America by now. Grab all of california and start the a civil war. I am seeing no other way out of this madness.
I'd be interested in the privacy aspect. Does anybody with more knowledge than me know more about that? Like.. It traceable? Will the gov't know ally purchases, vendors, etc.?
"Blames AI" lmao. Oracle is one of those cancerous companies that we should avoid at all costs. Even towards other businesses they use preditory tactics, MASSIVE vendor lock-in and hidden costs everywhere. They're basically one step away from being a pyramid scheme.
First thing to come to my mind: logograms. &, %, +, @. They are quite similar to Kanji. They each have different "readings", like "&", which can be "et", but also "and" or "und" or "y", depending on the kontext of the reader. So it is not phonetical, but defined pictorally.
Also, maybe Onomatopoesia? Buzz. Hiss. Sizzle. Pop. Slurp. Tick-tock. But I think that does not really meet your criteria.
Or concepts like a U-turn, T-shirt, V-neck, A-frame. They use the shape of a letter as a descriptive element.
And the last thing that comes to my mind would be zigzag (GER: Zickzack). It kind of depicts a broken, alternating line. It's not really fully visual, but the reduplication and the harsh contrast of syllables try to immitate a stark alternation.
Maybe "synaesthesia" is a distant topic that might interest you, although it is a very broad field. Visual concepts may be distantly related to phonetic concepts and vice versa.
Do you have coffee as part of your breakfast? It is known to cause bowl movements. I usually don't eat anything in the morning, but 5mins after my first coffee is finished, it's potty time.
Everyone's asking "What's the damage", but noone's asking "How is the damage" :(
