There's libraries of loyalty free music that these things sometimes come out of. Or AI.

check out Supreme Commander, it's a game from the erra of good RTSes, and I think has some of the features you're taking about, e.g. beforehand of multiple bases, automation... you can do things like produce x units, send them to this area, have them start doing this patrol, etc. You can pause the game, to make these orders too. My favorite gimmick though, is that the map is zoomable, from a classic here's your dudes and tanks view, up into a strategic view with icons representing everything. This also opens up the ability to have units be different sizes. vehicles are appropriately larger than infantry, and you can have giant mechs to which other units are literally ants.

Updoots for The 4400. Might be my favorite show of all time. The theme song is still playing in my head.

Do /not/ make the mistake of watching the cw's 4400 (without a The). I would rather watch Tommy Wiseau's The Neighbors over it.

Add Tucker and Dale vs Evil to that category.

I think you can link a second Whatsapp app, similar to the web client. your primary one needs a webcam to read the QR code though

what android os/rom are you on? I don't think I've used an android phone in the last decade where although yes, that behavior is possible I would have to go out of my way to configure it that way

I've used

adb shell pm list packages

to get a list of installed packages and https://github.com/mvdan/fdroidcl to install the ones available of fdroid.

That said, look into Obtanium, too.

Hi! Although your post is full of reasonable advice on maintaining privacy online I want to challenge you on the statement that the threat model matters. The contrapositive of the statement "I don't need privacy if I have nothing to hide" is "I have something to hide, if I need privacy". This puts those marginalized groups you mentioned in a position where simply by using a privacy tool or technique, they draw suspicion to themselves. It might immediately raise subconscious alarms in internet communities like facebook, where the expectation is that you use your real name.

The only way privacy measures work for anyone, is if they're implemented for everyone.

Further, I'd like to challenge the concept that a cis white tech bro has nothing to hide. There's a big invisible "for now" at the end of that statement. The internet, mostly, never forgets. We've had waves of comedians get "cancelled" over tweets they made years ago. Times change, people grow, laws regress. Posting statements about abortions is as of this year, suddenly unsafe. Maybe posting about neurodivergence comes next. Who knows with the way the world is going, maybe 5 years from now you'll regret having posts on /c/atheism associated with you.

I think a good way to be considerate of privacy is to think in terms of identities, what those identities are for, and what links those identities. Does your identity on github need make comments about your political leanings? Should your resume have a link to your github? Does your identity on etsy need to have a link to your onlyfans? Does your dating profile need a link to your reddit account? Your "2nd" reddit account? Not all of these are clear yes or no answers, they're just things to consider and make decisions about. Also, consider what class identities you only have one of, and what class of identities are for the most part unchangeable, e.g. attaching your phone number to two separate identities functionally links them.

.... but cd is a built-in

A JavaScript VM in the kernel is inevitable.

not by any means modern, but I used to really like pal

Thanks for the heads up, but looks like it's only implemented on certain watches. 😞

Samsung in a panic?? Every foldable screen is manufactured by Samsung afaik.

hello google please let me sync my watch between android devices instead.

I haven't used a stock launcher for a decade and haven't noticed any issues... currently on KISS launcher.

I like Firefox sync's implementation:

• every device can see tabs opened on other devices, and open them locally which addresses "what was that tab I opened at home?"
• any device can send a tab to another which addresses "I'll look at this later at my desk"

I usually just cut these down to the correct size I want with a ruler and a utility knife.

and it's potentially an existential threat.
