6h0st_in_the_machin3, to privacy in How to backup 2FA

This, I've just installed it this week and I think it's better than Google (though I'm suspicious of the "free" service.

Portuguese here:

  • There was compulsory male military service, that would be the only place where you could "handle" military grade hardware, aka assault rifles.
  • Currently IIRC, guns are accessible if: you're a military or law enforcement agent, a hunter (rifle or shotgun) or go through a process for a fire arm license due to professional or business reasons (e.g. a goldsmith) for self-defense.
    As well hand guns are limited to "non-military" calibers... for instance 9mm is for government agents solely.

Of course there's black market and use by shady actors...

As for people's personal relationship with guns, most people doesn't care to have one as there's not much violent crime to justify said behavior.

6h0st_in_the_machin3, to news in California governor vetoes bill that would have set a $35 cap for insulin
@6h0st_in_the_machin3@kbin.social avatar

“With CalRx, we are getting at the underlying cost, which is the true sustainable solution to high-cost pharmaceuticals,” Newsom wrote in a message explaining why he vetoed the bill on Saturday. “With co-pay caps however, the long-term costs are still passed down to consumers through higher premiums from health plans.”

Makes sense, when you block a corporation by increasing taxes, they will always pass the "new" cost to the consumers, in this case the "competition" will provide true lower costs...

6h0st_in_the_machin3, to technology in Google is shutting down its Jamboard whiteboarding app
@6h0st_in_the_machin3@kbin.social avatar

They just buy good ideas to monetize the shit out of them without giving users new features, and when the revneu stream dies, they kill the app and but the "next best thing".

Essentially, Google is killing creativity, expansion, usability and profitability for small companies just for the "ad revenue".

I'm de-googling as fast as I can.

It's a duality...

  • In Europe, you can get a hefty fine if you are a public figure and slander someone else without evidence, see the two examples below on the same politician, a MEP (former):

https://www.portugalresident.com/former-mep-tv-commentator-ana-gomes-condemned-over-crook-tweet/

So it's not like in US where the "first amendment" allows you to derail everyone and everything without consequences...

At the same time, EU wants to fight criminality, e.g. drug cartels, money laundering, terrorism, human trafficking, etc... by removing encryption that makes investigation "more" difficult...

And if you think about it, most people use encryption and other security measures not because they are criminals, but because they are essentially "owned and spied" by big tech...

As some douchbag once said, the government doesn't care which porn sites you visit or with who you go to bed with...

Yes, but if you look at the number of voters, the southwest, more left leaning, is heavily more unpopulated than the other regions like Galiza (northwest)

Not everyone on this planet grows wanting to be an actress or a football player, some people have dreams that don't follow the norm, it's called "being independent"...
