Comparing people living in a war scenario to trans people might be the most unhinged thing I’ve heard today tbh.

“In the twilight of bourgeois decadence, even the most trivial ornaments of culture shall be seized by the ruling class, for in latestage capitalism the elites will weaponize every spectacle - yes, even the egirls - to distract the proletariat from its chains.” - Karl Marx

If you’re trying to imply that I’m hating trans people, nah - I generally support individuals doing what they want as long as they won’t harm someone. I just think the people on there are amongst the most aggressive and awful people I’ve met on lemmy/piefed so far that will try to ruin your life over minor disagreements, which is why I’m mostly ignoring the people from that instance.

I can assure you, you will never need them.

I got a USB stick with ventoy installed, got a gparted and an arch linux iso on that thing, I do use those regularly.

I think by “pulling support” he means that they will no longer support the instance if there are bugs or problems occurring. If you’re technically savvy enough, you can probably get by without their support.

They absolutely are imo. I think I had way more unpleasant experiences with those freaks than I had with hexbear and .ml combined.

There is an austrian pastry called “Punschkrapfen”. That is a great analogy for blahaj. Pink on the outside, brown on the inside.

Any major instance should’ve defederated from this shithole a long time ago, together with hexbear and blahaj. Those instances are more of a toxic cesspool than the average league of legends lobby.

One of the few use cases where I see AI being great.

Never heard of that tbh, I would expect that they just seal the wound with plaster or something lmao. I won’t doubt it tho, medicine is wild.

Even the oldest, sickest pet will still make an effort to keep themselves alive however they can: eating, drinking water, moving out of the way of danger, etc.

That’s wrong. Especially old cats are very prone to just not eat when they’re old and sick.

Eating a cigarette isn’t going to outright kill you, some worm having a happy meal in your stomach might, or at least incapacitate you enough to get killed by something - or someone.

There’s lots of things in life that you shouldn’t do, but can help you in an emergency. There’s chlorine tablets - not exactly healthy, but can help with gut bacteria in a pinch. Cauterizing a wound is fucking painful and is not recommended by modern physicians - but it beats bleeding out or dying to an infection.

Keep in mind that those are not “DIY at home” kind of tips, but "You got shot in the middle of nowhere and you’r close to dying. You will also find similar tips in most other army handbooks.

That isn’t entirely true. While a phone without a SIM can still listen to broadcasts, it never registers as a subscriber because It’s missing a IMSI. So no, without a SIM you are indeed invisible to carriers. It’s a bit like screaming into the woods - someone might hear you if you do that, but if he doesn’t scream back, you have no idea he’s there.

The only exception to this if you’re actively calling emergency services - in that case, your phone will attempt an emergency attach to any network it can find, which is the point where the carrier of that network could see your IMEI. However, apart from that, you are indeed completely invisible without a SIM card.

Not having a SIM-Card in your phone is like having a tank without a main gun - it drives, but it can’t really do what it’s supposed to do. I don’t think that it’s a good idea. Also, not having a SIM-Card doesn’t make you invisible - only airplane mode really does that. Without some kind of network connectivity, you have an expensive, glorified brick that can make photos, play games and lets you listen to offline music.

Also, I’m wondering what exactly you’re trying to achive. Get a private OS like graphene, don’t install any google services, have anti-tracking protection installed into the browser (or use a safe and sane browser by default) and you’re good.

Not having a SIM doesn’t do anything for you except hiding from your carrier, however, if your threat model involves you being worried by being tracked by your carrier (and by extension, the feds), you’re in really hot water already and you’re probably better off with detaching yourself from the modern world.
