me and my dog

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

Are you really the human? Or the dog pretending to be the human? 🧐

I'm thinking the future is gonna have a "Hand Terminal" sort of thing that replaces everything.

People who use Linux, do you Enable Secure Boot and use the TPM (for Full Disk Encryption)? Or do you have those off? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Reason I'm asking is because there are some people claiming that the TPM is a backdoor or something. I wonder if people on Lemmy subscribe to that belief, or no?

How often do thieves (and identity thieves) actually get caught and served justice? Are there actual examples of law enforcement actually doing anything? (Because I think most cops are just lazy) in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Also is it “justice” to put someone in jail? Let’s say there’s no way to return what was stolen (money spent, property sold/destroyed etc). It certainly doesn’t stop them from doing more crime

Tbh I kinda just gave up on trying to have to deal with cops. A driver stole my laptop that he was supposed to deliver, I just simply call the store (BestBuy) and told them I never got it, if the corporations want to deal with that thieving scumbag of a driver, its their problem, I just want my money back (or just chargeback if they refuse to refund), I don't feel like wasting time with cops that will do nothing anyways, especially if the refund happens, then I would technically not be out anything (besides wasting a bunch of time).

It's BestBuy's fault for using something as sketchy as DoorDash.

I'm in the US and honestly I've just kinda just accepted this as a fact of life, cops won't do shit, similar to many developing nations in the world. Anything short of actually someone dying, and cops don't seem to care. Got mugged? Oh well, tough luck buddy, at least you didn't die

How has your experience been? Is your country/area different?

When you buy stuff online, do you use your real name, or a false name/nickname/pseudoname? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

privacy.com is available if you're in he US

But this is essentially shifting trust to them instead. Its like a VPN, but for payments. But given the nature of anti-money-laundering laws, its only safe from like amazon or your bank (provided you trust privacy.com to not sell your data); The government can definitely have no issues supoena all your purchases.

That and amazon lockers means you can kinda keep purchases somewhat secret. Like um.. adult stuff 😏

I use my real name for packages in case I need support if there's a problem with the delivery, but like if I went to a restaurant, or order food delivery, I'd probably use a fake name so people don't be judging my fatass lol.

If you don't have a car to get to a physical store, where (what websites) do you get your electronics? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Oh, I was just asking because I have a BestBuy that's like a 15 minute drive away, but would take forever to talk to and back from, while carrying the weight of the stuff you bought. I think I also have a Microcenter like 45 min to 1 hour away.

I had a recent terrible experience with Besbuy, so that's why I can't use their shipping anymore. (They use Doordash now, and the driver stole my laptop)

If someone saw me walking out of an electronics store alone, I'd 99% get mugged if I don't get into a vehicle quickly.
