Location tracking of phones is out of control. Here’s how to fight back.
  • Pegasus spies on all the data on a phone. If a phone is really infected with that, then location access is the least of your worries. But this is not relevant to this post anyway, because 99,9% of people will never be a valid target for such high-level spyware.

  • Also having a semi auto as the standard issues rifle
  • I think it is important to add, that, in contrast to japanese tactics, the german pilots were not necessarily expected to die. It was "just" extremely risky and a bunch of them did actually survive.

    The pilots were expected to parachute out either just before or after they had collided with their target.

  • Anon wants to stop the mad painter
  • however, i found the old hitmans so much more immersive. i really disliked feeling guided around as if it was a theme park in the latest ones

    Have you disabled all help, hints and the minimap in the options? I disabled absolutely everything in the new games and liked it very much. Then the game does not give you any kind of hints or HUD help, only what you can see with your own eyes in the game.

  • Massive explosion of ammo dump in Tihoretsk, Russia
  • I'd also like to know what they're saying. I imagine it's some combination of expletives and confused speculation.

    My russian is very basic, so take it with a grain of salt:

    • in the beginning one woman is repeatedly demanding that the other woman (the driver) looks at the road (instead of the explosion I guess)
    • After the shockwave the driver is asking if everybody is ok and if their windows are intact.
    • At the end they are briefly discussing if it is save to continue following the road now or take another route.

    I could not identify any expletives or speculation. In that moment they seem only concerned with their immediate safety.

  • Männer als Täter - Die Welt könnte so schön sein ohne euch [Essay, Spiegel+]
  • Auch ein Essay muss eine in sich schlüssige Argumentation aufweisen. Diese hier hat aber einige Lücken.

    Geredet wird unter anderem vom aktuellen Fall der Vergewaltigung in Frankreich, wo eine Frau von ihrem Ehemann online auf einem Kanal mit dem übersetzten Namen "ohne ihr Wissen" 10 Jahre lang explizit für Sex angeboten wurde. 50 Männer sind angeklagt. https://taz.de/Vergewaltigungsprozess-in-Frankreich/!6032713/

    Die Spiegel-Autorin möchte das nun als Beispiel dafür darstellen,

    dass offenbar fast jeder Mann die Gelegenheit zu Gewalt gegen Frauen nutzt, wenn er sie bekommt.

    Und zwar, weil

    Nur zwei (in Zahlen: 2!) sollen den Raum, als sie die bewusstlose Frau sahen, wieder verlassen haben. Alle anderen ergriffen die Gelegenheit.

    Der Ehemann hat explizit Leute angeworben, denen bewusst gewesen sein muss, auf was sie sich einlassen. Natürlich ist nach der Vorauswahl die Rate der "Aussteiger" sehr gering. Über gesamtgesellschaftliche Tendenzen sagt das erstmal noch gar nichts aus.

    Ein zweites Textbeispiel ist folgendes:

    Ich bin wütend und ich bin traurig. Weil sich nichts ändert. Weil sich Klimakrise, Kriege, Despotie und Diktatur, fast jedes große Problem, auf eine gemeinsame Ursache zurückführen lassen: Männer.

    Zu keinem Zeitpunkt werden im Text direkte Argumente vorgebracht, warum irgendeines dieser Themen etwas mit Geschlechtern zu tun habem soll. Mit viel gutem Willen könnte man den Punkt zusammenführen mit dem späteren Argument, dass Männer öfter rechtsextreme Parteien wählen als Frauen. Aber die obigen Probleme von Klima, Kriegen und Diktatur alle darauf abzuwälzen wär schon sehr kurz gegriffen und ignoriert einen signifikanten Teil der Menschheitsgeschichte.

    Der eigentliche Text dreht sich aber vornehmlich um häusliche Gewalt, zieht aber leider viel öfter medial bekannte Einzelbeispiele als echte Statistiken zu Rate.

    Irgendwo ist dann aber gegen Ende der wahre Kern des Texts begraben: dass Männer statistisch mehr Gewaltverbrechen begehen und dass die Täter eben oft nicht einem gut zu erkennenden Stereotyp entsprechen, sondern sich in der Masse verstecken können.

    Nur leider ist diese richtige Aussage vergraben unter viel zu viel Effektheischerei.

  • My experience switching from iOS to GrapheneOS
  • As someone who uses GrapheneOS with Sandboxed Google Play for nearly a year now, I am struggling to think about why one would not be able to use it as their daily driver. It has all the features of a regular Pixel phone, except with more security. And the security features are not even some high-level enthusiast stuff, it is (among others) some really basic features like restricting internet access for specific apps or only giving apps read permission for specific folders on your phone instead of everything. Basic security and privacy features that every device should have.

  • Repost inspired by a true story.
  • They are only a meaningful problem where no native feline species are present. Asia, Africa and Europe (excluding islands) have native wild cats. House cats are a direct descendant of the African wild cat and have been domesticated and spread since ancient times. They can be a danger to the "genetic distinctiveness" of wild cats in some places. But they mostly are not the same level of danger to native species like they are in America and Australia.

  • Germany to halt new Ukraine military aid: Report
  • Specifically the funding will come from frozen Russian assets, which many people requested since the moment they were frozen. But now for some reason some newspapers found a way to bury it under clickbait titles.

    future funding would no longer come from Germany's federal budget but from proceeds from frozen Russian assets, according to the German newspaper.

  • Is anybody else gonna watch the Paralympics?
  • My thoughts as a layman:

    They probably have very different rulesets. Deaflympics "only" has to account for the fact that the athletes cannot hear sounds like speaker announcements, starting pistols etc., whereas Paralympic athletes have physical disabilities that directly influence their performance.

  • Sorry, Deutsch people
  • That is false. It was called the "Holy Roman Empire" from the 13th century until 1512. The name was changed in 1512 to "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation". But even in many official texts after 1512 they still left out the latter part.

  • Infamous $30 Logitech F710 called out in $50M lawsuit over Titan sub implosion
  • It is a lawsuit by one of the passenger's families against the company that built the sub, describing all the ways they chose "cheap" over "safe", with the example of the wireless controller.

    Logitech itself has nothing to do with this.
