I've read the Sub rules.

I don't have a defined threat model, I'm just trying to learn.

So I have a hardened device (no sim/esim) which isn't really tied to my identity. As far as I know it's put together pretty solid so far. No obvious trail.

I want to use a popular encrypted messaging app account that I used to use on my old device, on my new hardened device (messenger rymes with shingle, i don't know if I can say it), but it occurs to me it might be a bad idea because it's linked to my real contact# and was networked with others who I communicated with previously.

What is your advice, should I keep it off my hardened device or should I risk it? How risky is it to use the messenger if my purpose was to try to keep the device as anonymous as I can?

Let me know your thoughts.

In the past week I've seen progressives in the DSA decry wokeism, CBC write a hit piece on gentle parenting, Rachel Gilmore do a piece (rightly) on how the MSM both sides-ed an academic to his death by letting targeted far right discourse into the conversation, and I have seen a shit load of media alluding to "climate hysteria" and delegitimatization of trans ppl.

Is it my imagination or is there a trend?

About a month ago my ps4 crashed, all my saves seemingly were corrupted. I was like, oh well.

Today I was trying to transfer my backups (old saves from before my jb) using apollo.

After the crash I noticed every time i tried to access my backup hdd in the ps4 settings, the ps4 gave me a message that i couldn't unless i updated my ps4.

I can still transfer saves via apollo. But any transfered save reads as corrupted, even if i try to import a keystone from a dummy save or if I apply changes and resign in the apollo save file. It wont read the files, but they can't be corrupted, they're from before the crash.

One super weird thing is, since the crash, all my new saves don't have user id's. They're just all zeroes. I know that saves behave this way when you transfer backups to the hdd, but why are my new games saves doing this? A couple of my games wouldn't even work because the strangely id'd saves would instigate a game crash.

I think my transfers cant "save and resign" because the dummy save user id is none existent and can't be coppied.

Is there a gold hen setting, or kernel setting that was tripped from the crash that causes this saving irregularity? Rebuild database on system and itemzflow twice with no results.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I am one broke bitch...

I've read the fees are astronomical (i read the same about p2p) and I also suspect Canadas fintrack system uses the id verification as some kind of dragnet.

I legit do not understand crypto exchanges and I've never bought or used crypto currency. I find it really complicated.

An application i downloaded is pixilated and wonky. Theory is it's not loading properly on graphics drivers.

Can i install amdgpu graphics drivers on my linux system on a jb ps4?

Is that not advisable for any reason?

"Culture Minister" Marc Miller has said the museum failed by not naming Hamas in the exhibit,

The Nakba happened many decades before Hamas even existed!

Are we paying Miller to obscure genocide with whataboutism? Is that written in his job description?

No idea what I did. Same thing happened to my twitter around the same time flagged for inauthenticity, had to file appeals for months.

Nothing in my support inbox. No change in my account status. Just the AI giving me the run around for weeks.

Does spamming facebook reports every 48hrs do anything?

This pos system won't let me delete my account.

Every so often when resetting my ps4 (12.52) after a poopsploit failure, my ps4 goes through a prematuure shutdown (it dies during restart and has to go through the hdd check screen).

Very occasionally it corrupts all my saves or deletes my ps4 settings (huge pain in the ass, because if you're not careful changing your auto connect settings, you could accidentally auto update).

Anyway, I usually fix the corrupted saves by using Apollo to save to a usb, then back on to the hdd.

Is there a better way to do this, rather than doing it through a usb, one at a time? It's super time consuming.

So, when I say farming, I don't mean gardening. I mean, like, multiple acre farming.

I was a terrible student of farming, plus, I'm alergic to everything from grain dust, to animals, to mold.

My agricultural knowledge is incredibly fragmented. So I don't really understand a lot of the basics of farming.

But, veganic farming does appeal to me. I often imagine what it would be like to run a small veganic hobby farm.

Anyone knowledgeable about this subject who can fill me in on the basics, maybe point me to some resources?

The device isn't carrier locked, but I can't find oem unlock under developer tools, I've read it can appear after a manual reset. Is this accurate? Or do certain S20's just lack unlocks?

I just want to delete my Sony account. But, I don't think my jb ps4 interacts with sony, its blocked, but am i missing anything?

Now that shit is over...talk to me about your favoured alternatives. I'm on bluesky and upscrolled. I tried mastadon but can't figure it out.

I want a platform that will give me accurate news/activism updates as fast or faster than X
