Rules:

  • History of the world before your birth remains the same; only events happing after your birth can be changed.
  • The other version of you must still be alive, you cannot go to a world that you are dead in. (This essentially forces you to murder/abduct your alt-self, so travelling has a ethical cost to it ๐Ÿ˜‰)
  • There may be other multiverse travellers out there

(Btw, is it ethical to murder an alternate version of your self? Is that even murder or just self-harm technically?)

I heard about that in Man in the High Castle

Honestly, I don't know why light didn't just order the government to capture L and keep killing world leaders until L was found and killed. He had no trouble killing law enforcement and in the Manga he even

spoilerKilled the president of the US

Seems like the story was written for the sake of a story.

Same. I never watched anime until I found out about Steins;Gate and DeathNote.

Steins;Gate is because of time travel, and I kinda have an obsession with the idea of time travel.

DeathNote, well, a murder notebook, already hooked.

Its not the medium, its the story.

I'm in this comment and I don't like it.

Me: stumbling on Nutomic's manifesto

My FBI Agent: "pfft wOkE cOmMiE. Although I agree about the part where he mentions Transgender people"

Excuse me, but this is a Burger Reich. Deadname my country again, and I'll have to inform the Gravy Seals

Candidate Master: Promote to Queen

FIDE Master: Promote to King

International Master: Promote to Knight

GrandMaster: No promotion needed, I already predicted the entire game. You've already been defeated.

trump admin: proclaims hate for China

also trump admin: pass a Chinese law (banning pornography)

๐Ÿค”

What next? trump portrait in everyone's houses? mandatory little red maga bibles that everyone has to carry?

Seems like trump doesn't actually hate CCP, he's just mad he isn't the leader of the CCP.

Excerpts from your third link https://www.wired.com/story/protonmail-amends-policy-after-giving-up-activists-data/

As usual, the devil is in the detailsโ€”ProtonMail's original policy simply said that the service does not keep IP logs "by default." However, as a Swiss company, ProtonMail was obliged to comply with a Swiss court's demand that it begin logging IP address and browser fingerprint information for a particular ProtonMail account.

According to multiple statements ProtonMail issued on Monday, it was unable to appeal the Swiss demand for IP logging on that account. The service could not appeal both because a Swiss law had actually been broken and because "legal tools for serious crimes" were usedโ€”tools that ProtonMail believes were not appropriate to the case at hand, but which it was legally require to comply with.

ProtonMail also operates a VPN service called ProtonVPN, and it points out that Swiss law prohibits the country's courts from compelling a VPN service to log IP addresses. In theory, if Youth for Climate had used ProtonVPN to access ProtonMail, the Swiss court could not have compelled the service to expose its "real" IP address.

Proton did not voluntarily log IPs, they were under a lawful court order and were out of appeal options.

Like I said, no one running a service will go to jail for you. None.

Not ProtonVPN, not Mullvad, not IVPN, not Lemmy Instances.

If a legal court order is received, they will conply after they run out of appeals

Imagine you run one of these services, and you received a lawful order in your jurisdiction.

You can choose to turn over data or go to jail for a long time.

Would you go to jail to protect user privacy?

That's why its not only a company's privacy practices you need to worry about, but also the jurisdiction. Choose a service that's is in a privacy friendly jurisdiction.

Also, this is about Protonmail, which is under different laws than ProtonVPN.

 

Really puts into perspective how much humanity have evolved.

When ever I wonder about something, I can just conjure it and have it in the palm of my hand.

Galaxies, star systems, the map of the entire world, history, geopolitics, real time events from across the world.

I mean, yes, bad things still happen in the world, but its just so... amazing, intruguing, awesome, and also absurd how we can just know almost anything and everything if we are willing to search for the topic.

The world seems bigger, and ourselves seem smaller.

What the fuck is life? Its so... strange...

When I was a kid, space felt so magnificient.

But now I'm dealing with depression, and the universe feels kinda existential.

I look at humanity and felt so amazed at the cooperation that built civillizations.

But simultaneously see the hatred between groups of people, and it feels depressing.

Edit: I don't know what this post is supposed to be, kinda just wanna talk into the void of the internet, share some thoughts. I don't have friends to talk to, wanna talk to some Lemmy strangers I guess... ๐Ÿ‘€

 

I'm trying to find an audio book of a popular book series. But when I start looking, I only found one of the audio books of a trilogy. (looking through the links in the megathread/wiki)

I'm not sure why the 2nd and 3rd audiobook of the triligy can't be found, it should be popular enough that someone would've share it. It came out like a decade ago.

I found all 3 books (like the text-only book), but I'm kinda annoyed I can't find the audio books.

 

I can never know if someone is supposed to be dead or not. Okay so the protagonists beat a bunch of the anatagonist's goons in battle, did you kill them? Or did they become unconcious?

It's literally never explained.

 

Rules:

  • The messages can go as far back as the beginning of the 7 day period (the moment you found out about your assassin is after you)
  • You can only send the messages if you have cell signal (maybe don't hide in the woods, you assassin might be there, and you don't get a do-over ๐Ÿ™ƒ)
  • Your phone is immune to damage and malware (although spyware and keyloggers can still be on there, but they can't affect the system, just on "read only" mode). Auto-updates are now disabled by default
  • If assassin got your phone, they could send false messages to trick your past self. (Don't lose your phone!)
  • At the end of 7 days, the Assassin will just drop dead due to time travel limitations, time travelers cannot survive longer than 7 days in the past (yes, the assassin is a time traveler ๐Ÿ˜‰)

  • Each language has their unique encoding of their language represented in pulses of light.
  • Written text remains the same
  • The light is beamed from the human head in 360 degrees when ever they communicate, visible for up to 1KM
  • Instumental music still works, and people can still hear things, just not talk.
  • People currenly alive will instantly know how to communicate with light in equivalent proficiency to their speech proficiency before the scenario happening, but everyone born from now on will have to learn from the adults.

Remember: Light cannot penetrate walls

 
  • For simplicity, let's assuming this is your country, in some random rural area
  • The dead person has a kitchen knife plunged into their chest, blood is still fresh
  • The dead person is a random stanger, you've never met them, they are just a random average (non-famous) person
  • There is no one else in the house
  • You have a tiny bit of blood on your clothes, but not a lot, you are unsure of whose blood it is
  • You have no injuries
  • You were never drugged or anything, you just happen to mysteriously, spontaneously get teleported there, while sleeping. You went to sleep on your bed and just woke up only to find yourself in this scenario. (Bloodtests will show nothing)
  • You wake up right in the morning, at sunrise
  • There is electricity and running water, small amounts of food in the refrigerator, enough for maybe a day
  • You don't have any items with you, not your phone, nothing beside the clothes you slept with (if any). There are clothing in this house belonging to the dead person
  • There only electronics devices (besides appliances) in the house is the dead person's smartphone, in their pockets (no lockscreen codes or anything), and a laptop (no password). This house has wifi.
  • This house does not have any security cameras.
  • There is a car in the driveway, belonging to the dead person. No other vehicles, no bikes or anything like that.
  • Nobody (yet) knows this person is dead. They live alone.

So, would you think that you did the murder, and just turn yourself in; or assume someone set you up and try to escape? How would you escape this scenario and avoid prison?

Remember, this is a rural area, not that many cameras.

So do you make a run for it? How?

Or do you just call the authorities and hope you don't get charged with the murder? Very awkward interrogation tho, nobody would believe you. I doubt "I don't remember how I got there" is a strong defence.

What is your "game plan"?

 

I keep thinking about stuff like:

  • The fact that there are galaxies I won't be able to visit (because I'd be dead before humanity goes interstellar)
  • The face that my childhood sucked and I could never really experince a normal childhood again in this lifetime (feeling of "nostalgia")
  • The fact that there are secrets the government is hiding that the average civillian will never be able to know (fear of "missing out")
  • We may never discover the true nature / true origin of the universe (at least, not in my lifespan)
  • Not knowing if the world is even real (as in, simulation theory, solipcism)
  • There would be Movies and TV shows I wont be able to experience (fear of missing out)
  • There were technology that I never got to experience "in the moment": telegraphs, black and white tv, radios, old gaming devices, etc... (I mean yes, they still exist, but its not the same as experiencing it in that time period). To be clear, I still prefer current and future technology, but I just want to go back in time for like a week to check things out like it was back then, then come back, you get what I'm saying?

I can't ever just stop thinking and relax. My brain is so fucked.

This isn't like a "phase", this has been my life for years. Constant non-stop thoughts. ๐Ÿ˜“

 

There are no other options. This is even more stupid than the phone number verification thing. Attemping to logging to Google Play Store on that wiped device (which previously was logged in to the account) doesn't work either.

Luckily, this is a throwaway account, not much data of value was lost. FRP on the wiped device was also off.

But like, what is the point of this. Suppose, my phone got stolen. How am I supposed to log in to Google to initiate a remote wipe, if it ask for a verification code which is on the phone that the thief has?

Zero logic at all. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Edit: And MFA was never enabled. Just to clarify.
