Doesn't count. That's New York. Basically it's own country.

Is this seriously a euphemism for Jewish people? I thought it was just a funny conspiracy theory.

So, I haven't heard much about JP in a while,and now I've heard a podcast and this. Is it just coincidence or is there a reason we're talking about him again? The podcast mentioned he'd gone on some show debating Christianity with 20 atheists. It went as you might imagine, where jp argued that atheists were Christian because they didn't understand the thing they say they don't believe in. Idk. Anyway -- any other reason I'm hearing about him again?

Yep, and that's just the copays for actually using the insurance. That doesn't even count the monthly cost of insurance even if you do nothing. I've spent years never using mine because I couldn't afford anyrhing beyond perhaps the basic copay for a visit.

Just how visible is your butthole to a gynecologist? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

I'd say that's a win. Gyno appts are important!

No, I wasn't sure if you were distinguishing between Nuremberg or the slave owners. You write "their" but there are two possible groups that could be applied to, and possibly both. Your message changes based on how I read "their", so just seeking clarification on what you're trying to say.

Lmao. This one is great, but they never show up in my feed. I can tell I found it 3 months ago, because I've liked a bunch of posts three months ago. Anyway, tons of gold since then!

This is a great reminder to clean my computer fans.

Does owning my own hardware prevent the service provider from getting this data?

immich question (leminal.space)
 

Looking to switch my photos over to immich hosted on my PC. I want to be able to:

  • send photos from my phone to PC
  • delete them off of my phone and have them safe on my PC
  • I don't need to do this all the time, so I figured immich on my local network is fine. Then I don't have to figure out wireguard.

However, right now I have free VPN on my phone. I can't access immich, but I suppose this is why. I also believe that if I have VPN features that allow me to select which apps use VPN and which do not, I could route immich to ignore the VPN, and I would be able to see it on my local network.

Am I on the right track?

Do what you can, and what you can do is enough. What are you doing? (leminal.space)
 

What are simple things you are doing to help yourself and your neighbors right now? (US)

A lot of people are overwhelmed, and that is the point of the rapid fire changes we are seeing. Small actions can make a difference, and can grow into big impacts.

I live in a deeply red state, so a lot of my peers have to battle some cognitive dissonance before we can acknowledge there is a problem, much less begin to pin down actions that may help. So, I'm focusing on teaching my social circle on the tech basics. I have taken these things for grated, but I am finding many people do not use them. Plus, they don't have to battle their cognitive dissonance with me in order to make these changes. Changes that will make everyone on the Internet safer and ensure we have information access to stay informed.

  • Install a VPN - talking about it helps to normalize this. It doesn't mean "I have something to hide" it means "I need to protect my privacy in an ever increasingly online world". It means "I need to make sure my banking passwords stay secure." If it is normalized for everyday use, then when somebody needs it to obscure their search for critical healthcare information that is now censored in their country or area, their VPN usage alone doesn't give them away.

  • Install a password manager - this one is best practice anyway, and good advice across the board. These things do not need to be equated with being a hacker.

  • Establish secure lines of messaging - I recommend signal to people. This one has a high social cost, but you may be able to point out that normal text group chats often drop messages when the group has mixed apple and android users. YMMV and this one is a harder one for many people. I don't push it too hard. I do censor myself on unencrypted messaging. If you want all the memes, you can join me on encrypted chat! Lol

  • Secure chat doesn't have to be signal if you're on android, and you message others on android, note if you have the encryption lock or not. If not, encourage them to look in their settings for RCS messages and make sure they have encryption turned on.

Also, start small. And teach small. Plant the seed. Help get people set up where you can. If people as for your advice, think about suggestions that are easy to implement, even if they aren't perfect. Encourage others to do what they can. You don't need to self-host your own cloud server to take steps in the right direction and be a little safer online. We just need to slow them down.
