Why boycott if I can just pirate it?

Their oppressors didn't have tanks.

Our oppressors do.

There's no way out.

Anyone down to steal a tank?

Probably nothing revolutionary.

But if you don't believe the propaganda, you'd probably enjoy life more.

For example: there literally a list of steam games that some far-right nutjob compiled that declares a lot of games to be "Woke" or "DEI". Imagine how much fun they miss out on because they are so far up the kool aid cult and actually refuses to play those games.

And other times, it can save you from a lot of misery and perhaps save your life. See: Anti-Vax and Anti-Science propaganda. If you are able to see through that bullshit, you wouldn't die from a stupid horse dewormer or other psudoscience crap.

The fight might not be right here, right this moment, but you can pass along the torch, the spirit.

Teach your children to be skeptical of the authorities, and be vigilent of propaganda. If they are getting involved in a "Hitler Youth" equivalvent, you'd intervene and stop them.

Treach kindness and empathy, but also decisiveness when the time comes to stand against injustice.

And also, pick your fights carefully, do not do this alone. Do not become a foolish dead hero, become a successful revolutionary. (Underground Movements)

Don't let them imprison your mind.

TLDR: The best you can do is just refuse to regurgitate the same propaganda. This is a passive thing that is, while subtle, an important part of the resistance.

The migrant caravan ate the spy balloon then flew past the border checkpoints with the ingested helium. And then transformed into Haitian, of course. Then crash landed in the Suez Canal and blocked it.

Looking at the 2024 election results. I guess not. ๐Ÿ˜ž

But 1/3 of eligible voters didn't even vote, so is that really about critical thinking? Or is it just laziness?

I mean, honestly, I'm questioning if anything my parents told me is even real, or is it just exaggerated to make themselves seem like great parents in order to diminish my view on their toxicity.

It's hard to distinguish between what's a genuine doubt from a conspiracy theory.

That's the thing with people.

Some have zero skepticism, and believe everything they see.

Others are overly skeptical and distrusts everything, including science.

It's hard to find the right balance.

Does the average person have no critical thinking? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I don't know about y'all, but if I grew up in a country that never has the news criticizing its leaders, I'd be very skepical and deduce that there is censorshop going on and the offical news could be exaggerated or entirely falsified. Do people in authoritarian countries actually just eat the propaganda? To what extent do they believe the propaganda?

"If its on the internet, it's out there forever" is simultaneously true and false... (sh.itjust.works)
 

If the government is willing to spend the effort to investigate, they'll find that deleted comment you posted 10 years ago criticizing the government.

But if you want to find your lost files after your cloud account gets suspended for vague "ToS Violations", I hope you have a backup, because good luck trying to get the cloud provider to send you a copy of your files.

It might be out there, but not for you.

Unless you convince a government to try and get it for you. ๐Ÿค”

How exactly are people supposed to "be honest" with their therapist, when they type their notes into a computer system? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Especially considering the fact that your country's politics could change in the future.

Going on an honest rant against the regime seems very dangerous.

How are people supposed to have secure/private communications in the digital era? (With Therapists/Psychaistrists, Lawyers, etc) (sh.itjust.works)
 

You can have a face-to-face conversation with a friend, but how do you do that if you want to talk to a therapist? No therapist is gonna make an exemption and leave their phone in another room, not to mention, they literally write their notes into the computer system, instead of on paper.

And with lawyers? I just read about how Luigi Mangione's conversation with his lawyer is being unlawfully recorded. How do you even have a conversation with your lawyer if you are in custody and they could just hide recoding devices all around the jail?

Sure, maybe they can't use the evidence in court, but they could just leak an out-of-context audio clip to the press to win the "court of public opinion".

This question is common throughout the internet, but I'd like to see Lemmy's response.

The country you end up in would be random, you don't get to pick.

What are some of the impacts of a power outage that isn't that obvious / isn't talked about a lot? And What happens to restaurant bills? Do Buses still work? (since card payments wouldn't work) (sh.itjust.works)

Obviously this is about the power outage in Spain.

While normally, if a card declines, people would probably have to leave their IDs with the restaurant while they went to get a withdrawl from their bank; this is a power outage, withdrawls wouldn't work. It would be silly to arrest people because of a power outage. So I'm assuming people just have to give the restaurant owner/management their identity info with a promise to pay?

And power outages shouldn't affect buses, since they run on gasoline/diesel, but the payment system processing transit passes might not work. Do buses still get run during a power outage and they just let people on for free, or do they just shut down the bus lines?

Spy on your family member's movements for just 10 Dollars a month! Satisfaction Guaranteed or your money back! (lemmy.ml)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/37022405

This is a carrier in the USA (T-Mobile).

I did a quick search for the other 2 carriers using the term "[Carrier Name] Family Tracking" and Verizon and AT&T also seems to have it.

And according to https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/t-mobile-familywhere-app, it says:

FamilyWhere uses geolocation data from the T-Mobile network and is not affected by changes to device location settings.

So it appears that its using cell tower triangulation. Turning on Airplane Mode should stop it (assuming there isn't a separate tracking app on your phone)

Oh Wow, What a wonderful tool for abusive spouses and abusive parents. And telecom companies are making money off of it. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

TLDR: Its a good idea to get your own separate cellular plan.
