Honestly prior to the api protest I had somewhat good communications with mods, and by just following the only rule, which is behave, I got around some rule and had enough clarifications about them. The new mods that replaced them are a mess. Even the power mods of the past like that turtle person pale in comparison to what I’ve seen. They don’t even know modding tools such as warnings, temporary bans. It’s like touching a md account for the first time got them power hungry like never before.

Incognito mode is for hiding your search history from your relatives and friends. Corpos ready have that data anyways.

this destroys our digital privacy of correspondence. Despite lip service being paid to encryption, client-side scanning is to be used to undermine previously secure end-to-end encryption in order to turn our smartphones into spies – this destroys secure encryption.

We’ll be moving towards local storage + local hard drives backups, since anything that goes through a server or a chat service seems to be under attack. Also fuck the Irish government.

I’ll just say, by protecting privacy we will protect other rights. Privacy means the right to hold safe and personal communications about various topics. If safe and personal communications are used as a mean to handle abortion and other heath rights, protecting the first equals to protectong the other - * two birds with one stone* -. Our privacy is consistently being attacked from sides. Acting now is ever more important.

Paradoxically, all cheap devices come with one, and even with an FM radio, so cheap devices actually have more stuff than high end smartphone. Also please give me an FM radio FFS, it is one of the most usueful services during emergencies and other situation, also I like listening radio thanks

Whoever made the Milk Hill formation: you’re an artist like few other. If we treat these crop circles as land art, this is one of my favourite of all times. Do not hide if you do this - except from the farmers whose harvest you ruin, maybe - it’s…technically difficult.

I forgot about uranium glass! That looks cool…too bad uranium is what it is. Anyway here’s a radium dial or what remains of that: https://postimg.cc/WhWWY0Sc

The safest variant are tritium capsules, that contain a small amount of tritium of various colours, within a robust glass capsule. Tritium is one of those mildly radioactive compounds that can only emit up to alpha and beta rays, which are conveniently limited by the glass container. Radium emits a small amount of gamma rays, those can pierce through glass and iron. Now, phosphorus is the element that gave the name to the phosphorescence phoenomenon, so it is a relatively safe light-sensible coating that can have a small glow in the dark according to how much light it absorbed before, but in large amounts it isn’t good. Marco lodola used neon astethics to make these sulptures that are basically made of light in a dark room:

It’s fairly easy to find radium dials up to these days. You can spot them based on the yellowish and crumbling look of the paint or once luminous compounds. They may not be glowing any longer but they retain their radioactivity. By contrast, tye greenish white paint on dials is usually tritium.

They had a whole sets of beauty products based on radium in the 20’s of the past century. They had several peculiarities such as natural luminescence and a unique pale white colour that used to shine in the darkness. I needn’t to say that this was obviously one of the most dangerous and damaging things you could apply to your body. tho-radia was a body lotion and a brand that took pride in using radium in many ways, including a product for teeth. Radioactive teeth, imagine that. I hope you don’t come across one of those old bottles in an antique shop, as they are still dangerous.
