Pure Browser, and then I disable Javascript.
Give it a try! Browsing the internet is lightning fast, and for pages that need Javascript I just load them in my other browser (Ecosia)

The internet has come full circle!

There used to be a game in the 90’s where you punch Bill Gates in the face.

Like this:

Wild! Those are the two names I chose too!!

So just to help a little bit without getting too technical…

df -h is your friend to find out which physical drive or partition relates to which directory (called the “mount point”)

If you want, you can set up each drive/partition to be mounted a bit Windows-esque.

For example:

• Drive 1, partition 1 will almost certainly be root /
• But drive 1, partition 2 can be mounted to: /mnt/d/
• And then drive 1, partition 3 can be mounted to: /mnt/e/

And so on.

You’ll need to look up fstab to understand how to do that.

I understand it’s tricky to get your head around initially as I felt exactly the same coming from Windows to Linux.

Once you get your head around partitions being able to be mounted anywhere, it actually becomes really handy

new funding for a confidential service to provide prevention therapy to potential offenders before they commit that horrid act against a child.

THIS.

I would recommend watching “Louis Theroux - Among the sex offenders” to get a better understanding of the lack of treatment available for people who don’t want to offend but feel compelled. Some of them are crying out for treatment!

Not yet! But you can make a difference to that… https://yacy.net/

Ohh, I see! Thanks for replying. I often forget about ChatGPT as an alternative

Honest question: what happened to Stack Overflow? I still get answers from it. Have I missed some incident??

Or Tuta(nota) https://tuta.com are good!

I know it’s not 100% the same, but there’s a website that gives you access to insecure webcams and has been for ages!

Obviously these aren’t hacked as per the article

You get a phone call from someone claiming to be from 23andme but they’re not…

Hi it’s Jim from 23andme.
Just going through security with you. You did a test with us on the 5th Dec, your mother is X and your father is Y.
Ok that confirms who I am.
So as I said it’s Jim and in your results we see you have a genetic condition which means you will have early onset dementia.
We offer a preventative treatment. Want to enrol in the trial? It’s $200.

Not the best example I admit but an example of how that data could be misused and you’ve just paid “Jim” $200

Maybe… I mean that would be great! Sunak/Braverman come out with some faux rage about the protests and accidentally increase support for them!

All this hysteria in the news about the protest has motivated me even MORE to join on Saturday!

Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! And thanks for offering to answer more questions.

I’m working with two other people doing research, so I’ll pass this on to them and let you know what they think.

Massive thanks again!

No Stupid Questions… I’ll update the post :)

Hello!

What kind of researcher posts a five-question-questionnaire on Lemmy?

I’m not a professional researcher or anything, just someone looking to do research in this area. I thought there might be people on Lemmy who wanted to share their story or experiences.

Who are you and who employs you? What is your agenda?

I am cman6. I’m not comfortable disclosing person information about my employer. I stated my agenda… “The research project we are working on is looking into all aspects of food banks from someone deciding to donate, to storing the donations, to people receiving them, and seeing if there is some way to improve what is being donated and/or the quantities.”

Is this an undergraduate thesis?

Nope

Where else did you post your questionnaire? Are you accounting for selection bias?

This is the only place I’ve posted it so far. I’m not concerned about selection bias to be honest, although I am aware of it. I’m just looking for anecdotal information.

Why do you not use a questionnaire service like survey monkey?

I just thought this would be faster. Plus I wanted to keep things informal.

These are all yes/no questions and no questions regarding background, sex, age, income, etc. What kind of conclusions do you think you will be able to draw from that?

Well I don’t have any experience going to a food bank so I was hoping to gather a general idea of what that might be like.

Cheers!

In case anyone wondered how to potentially get around this…

• Pay for a server in another country that gives you SSH access
• Create SSH SOCKS tunnel: ssh -N -D 8008 your-server-ip
• Open your browser and set the SOCKS server to localhost:8008 (in Chromium/Firefox you can search for this in Settings)
