Politicians working for their own profit instead for the well-being of the people who elected them? Color me shocked!

Smh my head

The scary thing is, I could imagine someone writing this text, but unironic…

I’ll develop my own browser before using an ad-infested internet. Luckily I don’t have to do that, because there are alternatives and also because it would be a damn time consuming project to put it mildly 😅

Even if they would get all of Ukraine, I would expect quite a bit of underground resistance that would make holding on to Ukraine expensive.

It’s hard to give tips without knowing your situation better, but here are a few general ones that probably already set you apart from the vast majority of other small companies:

• Keep your stuff updated, especially when there are security fixes available
• don’t take convenience shortcuts that compromise on security (e.g. relying on “security through obscurity”)
• block incoming traffic by default (you only need some people from your country to access the network? Maybe even block ip ranges from the other side of the world)
• log access to your network and also analyse the logs often (probably with the help of some software)

I’m just some Software Engineer with a few years of experience, not some security expert though😅

Mostly the same. I tried ChatGPT a few times to get it to generate some code, but mostly it produced code that didn’t even compile and when I asked it to fix it, it created code that didn’t compile in a different way. I enjoy writing code on my own a lot more than having to review some pre-generated code.

Though I use it as a glorified Google sometimes and that is not even so bad.

Well, it means you are incentivized to scroll through the app more, meaning you see more ads as well. 110% sure it pays off for them

I like living in the EU 😄

I never understood how a chatroom took off as a tool to document stuff. Who seriously thinks this is a good idea? 😵

I had a printer from HP but rarely had to print anything. It happened way too often, that I had to buy a new cartridge, because the old one dried up. Soo annoying… Now I have a laser printer from brother and it’s much better! No more drying up! I guess this is more about technology than it is brand, but it somehow was fitting here😄

I really hope with this move the crazies from die Linke are all gone, so it’s finally possible to vote for them. Let’s keep an eye on them 😊

Revanced isn’t in an app store (at least not a legit version), you have to build it yourself. Otherwise it would probably end like Vanced. Take care of scam websites, this is the real one: https://revanced.app/

Or check this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/xlcny9/revanced_manager_guide_for_dummies/ (yes, it’s Reddit, but the guide was really useful to me 🤷‍♂️)

I watched some video some time ago where they put that in perspective: If I stopped causing any climate negative emissions now and for the rest of my life, it would amount to like 1 second emitted by the top 100 companies (not 100% sure about the numbers exactly, but it’s basically the same order of magnitude).

I’m not saying that we should stop caring about it at all, but it’s much much more important to try and steer politics into the right direction, than it is to change personally. Still, do all you can personally, but imo it’s fine to “cheat” here and there.
