Not USA, but I am somewhat patriotic. For those who actually don’t understanding why burning a flag irks some folk: Flag is a symbol of a country. People who feel pride for their country, who feel like they really are a part of that country and root for it, are feeling something akin to being spat on when the flag is burned, as it shows disrespect for country and what it stands for, them included.
I don’t judge people without context tho, as often burning the flag is a method of showing major dissatisfaction with how country is being run - in a sense, showing that one doesn’t feel this connection anymore.
And when done “for fun”…well, idiots are everywhere, whatever.
Yeah, this is when I start getting weird, Hot Fuzz “for the greater good” vibes. Like, I wouldn’t burn an American flag, but I also would never condone this weird “you must like it here” attitude. Fuckin creepy.
Lots of good recommendations already. I especially second Last Kingdom since you liked Vikings. There is the series + one movie that ends things. Also seconding Peaky Blinders because it is fucking amazing.
I will add His Dark Materials (based on YA novels, but really good) and Carnival Row (can’t vouch for 2nd season yet as haven’t had the chance to watch it, but 1st is great).
House of the Dragon too, since you liked GoT (again, can’t vouch for 2nd season yet).
Man the whole theft of “woke” and the subsequent use of it as a form of slur should point to the answer.
Being Woke means that you are aware of systemic inequalities and biases. That’s it. The word originated as a term for that among the black community, specifically about systemic racism.
It did spread among other marginalized groups, because it is such a simple and powerful word for a giant concept. That concept applies to more than just racial issues because systematic bigotry is so fucking ingrained into the social structures of the world. And I mean world, not just “the west”. There are forms of bigotry and inequality everywhere. But it is essentially an English term, and is mostly a US term. The concept behind it is universal.
Yet again, racists and bigots stole something from black people amd turned it against them.
Make no mistake, anyone using the word Woke in a negative sense, as an insult towards something is 100% dog whistling their bigotry. They are absolutely racist, even if only by the appropriation of the word and using it against marginalized groups other than black people.
So, stay woke, people. Systemic bigotry exists, and you can become a target of it.
It's just like their previous theft of the term "bleeding heart". A person with the bleeding heart was someone who just cared so fucking much, and so they mocked bleeding heart liberals for caring so much that their hearts just bleeding away, wah wah way.
And used that term to justify the hardness of their own hearts and to somehow imply that it's manly to not have feelings.
Brutalism is brutalism for capitalism. It was a highly influential architectural movement on both sides of the iron curtain (and I’m pretty sure it got started in capitalist France).
The above is saying that Lemmy is not monolithic and if you find one instance an echo chamber there are other instances that may be more to your liking.
It also causes your digestive track to process at a normal speed and so the absorption of the medicine is more spread out.
Important with something like an extended release medicine like Adderall XR which will build up and then stay somewhat steady and then taper off. And essential for a non-XR since it’s already going to be alot hitting you and then tapering down over time.
No, Northern Ireland is part of the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. So it’s in the UK but not GB, which I think is what spurred OP’s question
Exactly right. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the “Great Britain” team in the Olympics is actually the UK team, but was curious about Northern Ireland’s status since they don’t seem to technically fit in the team name.
Lying if you’re a politician. You should be in a state similar to “under oath” in court, but at all times.
Advertising. I should have the legal right to not be advertised at. I should have the right to not have to accept advertising in order to access services, especially so if I already pay a subscription to that service. I cannot put into words how much I loath and despise advertising and advertisers. I hate them. Hate, in the real sense of the word.
Loot boxes in video games, whatever age group the game in question is aimed at, but especially so in kids’ games.
Microtransactions in video games for anything other than non-essential/non-advantageous items, like cosmetics. Even then, their presence should upgrade the PEGI rating to adult/18, regardless of the actual content of the game. This might help prevent their inclusion at all.
Whatever the fuck is going on in Gaza right now.
Shielding police or soldiers from prosecution for crimes they’ve committed. If you stand in the way of the due process any other citizen would face, you should be heavily penalised for that. Like, the murderer soldiers who carried out Bloody Sunday are currently being protected by the British state and its lackeys, and I cannot fathom why. Cops in the US who murder people are frequently protected by unions and get to retire rather than be fired etc. All of that shit should be illegal. Get the fuck out of the way of due process.
Naziism and related nonsense like Holocaust denial. Germany already has laws about this, but that shit needs to be legally smothered in its crib everywhere.
Conspiracism surrounding public health issues like vaccines and masks.
Oh come the fuck on. You want to live in world that puts the same people this guys claims (rightfully so just using his words) are skirting the around the law, to also regulate political lying, advertising, video games, conspiracy theories, uneducated opinions and Joe Rogan? I mean I don’t even know where Rogan fits into any of this. I assume his podcast bit fuck me that means you all support governing who can amd can’t have a public voice? I’m not saying his whole list is out there and yeah I’ll admit I cherry picked the shit out if it but since when has there ever been any legal or legislative framework designed exactly as the voting people wanted? I’m not fuckin Libertarian and will prolly vote for Harris but damn I am not about to allow the buffoons to metaphorically get the foot in the door when they are on record of not even checking if they’re in the right house before blindly opening fire on innocent civilians.
It would be nice if prisoners of non-violent/minor crimes could (voluntarily) work (at maybe a lower wage than usual) and and they would be able to get what they earned once they get out of prison.
Eduroam is just a network of RADIUS servers that cross-honor authentication among participating institutions. If your org participates in Eduroam, it means users from your org can connect to the eduroam WiFi SSID at other orgs, and vice-versa. It’s helpful for traveling academics and visitors from other .edus
It’s also frequently used to authenticate access to online resources like online libraries, journals, and research infrastructure. Useful for when schools collaborate on grant projects.
The eduroam service requires a CA certificate to validate the APs broadcasting eduroam’s SSIDs are providing the real service. The issuer of that certificate isn’t one of the well-known SSL certificate resellers, so it needs to be installed in your device’s CA store, or configured in your 802.1x WPA supplicant. The protocol used is EAP-TLS, if you’re curious.
So what can the hosting institution see? Not much, from an authentication standpoint. Transactionally, the hosting institution sees a username and org name in an outer transaction. An encrypted payload with your user credentials is then tunneled to your home org’s servers which either validate or invalidate those credentials. If the home org validates, then the hosting org lets you connect.
Beyond that, the network admins can “see” whatever they can normally see when you’re using someone else’s infrastructure: your DNS queries, the application ports you use, a lot of encrypted SSL/HTTPS traffic, plus the contents of anything that isn’t encrypted or sent over SSL.
Some orgs disallow tunneling traffic out when you’re on their eduroam, so sometimes IPSec, SSH, Tor, and maybe even WireGuard are disallowed.
Sorry, I think this is very helpful but unfortunately I’m not english + don’t have much knowledge on the matter, so I really don’t understand much of the things you said…
Thank you for answering, but I must ask you (if you have the time) to explain if they could see or not what I was doing 😭
Slightly longer: Someone can probably see your connections to google and notion and infer that you are using Notion, but they cannot see your Google/Notion account and not what content you are working on. (Also those are very popular tools, unless you are the enemy of the state number 1, why would they care?)
Even longer: If your laptop or your gmail or your notion account is compromised, they can see everything.
You’ve asked a similar question here before this post. Have you been naughty? :-)
At your uni, you probably have what’s called a reasonable expectation to privacy-- the terms of use for accessing the computer and network facilities would be spelled out at your uni’s IT website.
The information observed and reported on by their tools most likely amounts to what websites and services you looked up by name, and the IP addresses & ports you accessed while using their network. It will be things like start & stop times, protocol used, number of bytes transferred, and maybe some “flags” on the connection. Flags in this case are special markings on the data flow to give the network hints about how to hand that traffic most efficiently.
MS Office Online, Notion, Gmail, they all use secured HTTPS connections, so the content is secured between you and the remote service.
As long as you’re not doing anything illegal or that severely violates the terms of use laid out by the University, nobody will even notice your traffic. Hack away.
No more than someone running a coffee shop wifi would see. Some basic traffic for name resolution then encrypted traffic for web browsing that they can’t read. Unless your notes application transmits in cleartext (unlikely).
Usually just enough to keep your stomach settled. I don’t know if this is the case for all medicines like that, but every time I’ve had to take something with food, it was because it can make you queasy if you don’t have anything in your stomach.
Yes, exactly, it’s about controlling the dosing. If you haven’t eaten for a while, or only had fluids, and then suddenly eat medicine, it’s more likely to be vomited out, so nobody knows how much you had.
If you can’t keep food in, medicine won’t work that way either.
Eating pills on an empty stomach can easily cause acid reflux. Since about a fourth if all people have acid reflux issues, it’s probably a good idea to advise people to down pills alongside other food that’ll stay down.
If you install Firefox Focus and make it your default browser on Android the Jerboa client (and others I think) will use it when loading links unless you have a specific app associated with a given URL (e.g. NYT app, NPR app, etc).
If you’re not familiar with Firefox Focus it’s a version of Firefox built for privacy. It basically makes it so that every URL you load behaves like a private browser tab. It also has ad-blocking built in which is sweet (though it doesn’t work on everything/not as good as uBlock Origin).
Oops: Just realized your question is related to Mastodon and not Lemmy. Though I’m certain that Firefox Focus would work the same way for Mastodon clients.
Actually, I just checked Tusky and yes, it does load URLs in Firefox Focus. So my advice is still good 👍
About a year ago 6TB storage was no longer cutting it since I was constantly having to hunt for media to delete or downgrade quality in order to make more room. I bought five 14TB drives and put them in a big zfs pool so I don’t have to do that anymore.
