Truely a nice one. The community around it is quite cool as well.

Or make sure you can hook it to something like home assistant without reliance on cloud…

Your examples are clear indication that you know jack shit about actual police work. Admittedly in civilised countries where there are checks and due process. Cops aren’t getting access freely to comms. A magistrate can depending on circumstances. And there’s plenty of red tape everywhere. Even telco operators will refuse to respond to a request if not absolutely justified. And typically that’s not when timmy sold some shit to his neighbour. Organised crime, murders, rapts… instances of those with actual victims are not threats, they are shits that happen and needs to be sorted.

Lemme be the judge of that… grow a bit and put your argument on the table.

Don’t hesitate to develop…

Call interception, retro and all methods of investigation relying on télécommunications are, and need to remain, a tool available for police forces when the crimes they are investigating are greatly impacting society. Having a prosecutor request those within acceptable limits is a net positive. Not the same as having dragnets spying on everyone in the hope of hitting keywords mind.

But criminality is using more and more complex tools at their disposition and there’s just no way of policing like in medieval times anymore.

Haaaa yeah the kindle. Both loved and hated in my case. Love the form factor, allowing me to indulge in new books. Hate it because I don’t get new physical books anymore. Not that I have any room left for books; that’s the reason I bought the kindle in the first place…

Let’s assume that the dude requested for a deletion of his account (specifically - not all his data) of the basis of gdpr and the execution of his data subject rights; that doesn’t exclude the possibility for reddit to keep his contact details for specific purposes based on the legitimate interest of reddit. Or at least they could play with the argument.

Given the prevalence of cloudflare they could basically assess the trust level of your ass by cross checking how trusted you are on other services also behind cloudflare. If you aren’t utterly suspicious elsewhere you’re likely not a bad agent.

Wtf…

Yeah well that’s not the worst honestly… I have the exact model and for reasons I cannot explain the ergonomics are incomparable with me. And I’m a mac user for my music production activities so it’s not like I’m a hater - I really don’t care. But I’ll stick to only using the touchpad on my mac book pro.

As long as no sourcerer drops by :)

I’d say too frustrating. And the zelda / pokemon clone fun only gets you so far.

Yeah definitely a good idea. Routing your mobile traffic through it so your carrier cannot access your traffic and the services you don’t want to share location with can’t snoop as much on you.

I’d say it’s about designing a good strategy. I have local backups on my NAS and a nightly incremental backup to cloud locations from there. That way the capture from my local equipment to the NAS is lightning fast and it’s not a big deal to have it take a few hours to reach the cloud. Also having a NAS on a power backup is a must-have.

True, it’s not at all stage where it’s likely to be a problem. The army of very old persons isn’t at the door just yet ;-)

Same for me. I started to chit chat a bit here and there just to have some more activity but I miss a community I like to be part of.

True. Related to that I wish there were more engagement on lemmy. Most of the posts in my stream have zero replies or 1 and it’s the bot. But let’s keep smaller numbers - quality over quantity.

Meh. Not like there are shareholders to appraise of growth…

There’s plenty of training material for those around I understand…
