Without knowing the “higher” reality, I’d still call it a simulation. An emulator is capable of replacing the “real” system it’s emulating. Maybe that’s your view on the topic, but I find it more likely the higher reality is more complex than ours because it contains ours. Therefore our reality could not be an emulation. Lots of speculation though.

thankfully it’s usually the other way around: the glass is opaque and only transparent with power. So you don’t need to worry about an ill-timed power outage.

I had premium up until a year ago, but I can’t recommend it anymore after their purchase.

Choose open source, people.

it’s based on this gist - follow the instructions at the top: you’ll need to set the right Sidebery preface to make it work, it’ll let you toggle it on and off easily.

sidebery + custom userChrome.css to make it collapse when the mouse leaves the area.

The only time I saw a data breach changing user behavior was with LastPass scandal last year. Unless it’s literally the people’s bank account passwords that’s at stake, I don’t think most would care at all.

I agree, regulation - either enforced by the platform or authorities - may as well be the only way.

it’s a social network. Some people do post things related to health and fitness, and it’s another gold mine of private data for ad targeting, so from a business perspective it makes sense to have features that integrate Instagram with these health and fitness gadgets.

This list is a summary of the data they may collect. Using these apps don’t mean you’re handing all this info automatically. Most of these are actually voluntarily shared e.g. when the user connects a fitness app to it; or actively requested e.g. when they make use of location sharing in the in-app chat.

The more in-app functionality a user makes use of, the more data they’ll hoard about that user.

I’ve never seen a single porn post here and I have NSFW enabled. Maybe because of the instance, but still, I occasionally check “All” sources and haven’t seen a single one.

possibly never going to happen

cool, I’ve been using curl -s ifconfig.me after dig +short myip.opendns.com stopped working

idk, I notice the opposite to happen more often: e.g. “me and John went to the bar last weekend”
