The debated would've been hillarious in the other timeline. In this timeline, this is just so idiotic and depressing, absolutely unreal how it even happens. If this were in the plot of a movie/tv, I would just turn it off since its so unrealistic.

I'm wondering if everything I see is just a simulation.

Especially the korean song thingy singed by a child-sounding voice. Feel so weird since its a mixture of childhood, which is supposed to make you feel safe, but the its juxtaposed with the blood everywhere making the whole scene so... I can't even find the word for it... absurd? ironic? bewildering?

The dub is just terrible. If you only wstched the dub, you're missing out on so much of the emotions embedded in the voice/dialogue.

If someone is described as "good at something", in your opinion how good is that person at this activity? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

Above 50-percentile in comparison to others who also participate in that subject/hobby/activity, but usually below the 90-percentile, because then they'd not be described as "good", but "great"

Do y'all just have an existential crisis all the time? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I keep thinking about stuff like:

  • The fact that there are galaxies I won't be able to visit (because I'd be dead before humanity goes interstellar)
  • The face that my childhood sucked and I could never really experince a normal childhood again in this lifetime (feeling of "nostalgia")
  • The fact that there are secrets the government is hiding that the average civillian will never be able to know (fear of "missing out")
  • We may never discover the true nature / true origin of the universe (at least, not in my lifespan)
  • Not knowing if the world is even real (as in, simulation theory, solipcism)
  • There would be Movies and TV shows I wont be able to experience (fear of missing out)
  • There were technology that I never got to experience "in the moment": telegraphs, black and white tv, radios, old gaming devices, etc... (I mean yes, they still exist, but its not the same as experiencing it in that time period). To be clear, I still prefer current and future technology, but I just want to go back in time for like a week to check things out like it was back then, then come back, you get what I'm saying?

I can't ever just stop thinking and relax. My brain is so fucked.

This isn't like a "phase", this has been my life for years. Constant non-stop thoughts. 😓

I'm just gonna copy paste what I said to another user on another thread regarding this topic:

Okay, so I attempted to access it again. Its currently in a weird state of partial access.

I can "log in" but as soon as I try to access anything, say, Gmail, I get that screen again.

This is what the settings page looks like:

So its not totally locked out, but its not functional either, I'm not even on a VPN.

Notice, 2FA is off.

Then I click Gmail and get this:

I tap "more ways to verify" and get this:

I tap the only option, and it circles back to the previous screen.

Read my other comment. It leads back to the same thing.

MFA was never enabled.

There are no other options. This is even more stupid than the phone number verification thing. Attemping to logging to Google Play Store on that wiped device (which previously was logged in to the account) doesn't work either.

Luckily, this is a throwaway account, not much data of value was lost. FRP on the wiped device was also off.

But like, what is the point of this. Suppose, my phone got stolen. How am I supposed to log in to Google to initiate a remote wipe, if it ask for a verification code which is on the phone that the thief has?

Zero logic at all. 🤦‍♂️

Edit: And MFA was never enabled. Just to clarify.

What are some Movies/TV shows that you initially didn't like (and perhaps even quit watching), but then end up liking it? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'm trying to find shows like the Expanse, which I initially passed over, but then upon the second watch, I understood what was happening. It's one of my favorite shows. I would've been missing out if I didn't give it anotber try. I've read over like hundreds of TV show plots and I'm so picky that if it looks boring, I skip it. I'm trying to see if there was something that I've judge too harshly like the famous phrase "don't judge a book by its cover.

Or another way to phrase it is: "What show's synopsis or first season seems boring/confusing at first, but is actually a good show overall?"

Bruh, I was testing some android features and wiped an android phone, then when I tried to log in again, they wanted a verification code from the previous device, the one I just wiped. Not even will a phone number satisfy them.

Its essentially locked out, unless I get a time machine to undo wiping the phone.

I mean, what happens if someone lose their phone and wants to log in to google to wipe their device? Like... how would you obtain the verification code on a phone a thief now has?

Its just even just privacy issues, Google is braindead when it come to their "security".

Luckily, I wiped it in settings so FRP was off.

When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The answer is: We're fucked.

People were warned of mass surveillance, and here we are, cameras everywhere, over the entire world. Everything is tracked. Same thing will happen to paper money and coins.

I mean, it kinds seems inevitable to me. Books has become e-books. Cash is becoming digital transfers. China has done it. The west is mostly doing card-swipes. One day, that transition will be complete, and cash would be phased out.

What happens then? Think like the power outage in Spain recently. Some people had cash. But in 20-40 years. There might not even be any cash in existence. What then?

What if, instead of a few hours, its a few days? Or weeks?

I guess riots break out all around the world?

(Seriously, has none of the politicians ever thought about this? Where are the backups? Are we just going full "YOLO" on the reliance on the power grid?)

For me:

-The Expanse - The beginning was confusing AF and the politics didn't make sense and seemed boring, so I quit. But then eventually after like a year or two, went to reddit and it was recommended again, so I just read some light spoilers and that helped me got through the first season. And then it has been an intriguing and thrilling journey.

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. 🤔

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. 🙃

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