Not all leftist ideologies include genocide. Yes those did happen in the past, but unlike fascism, leftist ideologies are not inherently bad. The only bad thing was the implementation of it. Countries like Norway, although capitalist, have many policies that would be considered by many people to be "socialist", but do you see a genocide there?

I always just pick up my cat and puting her on my lap after I sit on the chair she was sitting in? Am I doing this wrong?

Doesn't apply outside of EU. It's very easy to make different versions of phones. iPhone 14 in some countries have no sim card slot while in other countries it does. If they can do that for hardware, they can do it for software. They can make the requirement of sideloading be requiring turning on the GPS and you will be on the right side of the law, while blocking non-EU users from sideloading. Maybe they wont, but the point is that if they wanted to be evil for some reason, they can.

I can either:

1. Not visit China

Cons: Not being able to revisit places I've been to that I always wanted to go.

Pros: Being safe from an authoritarian government that's increasingly regressing back to totalitarianism

2. Visit China

Pros: I can visit places I always wanted to revisit

Cons: Being arrested in China, placed on exit ban, tortured, or executed. And if I somehow leave unharmed, upon returning to the US, I could be accused of being a communist spy due to rising US-China tensions, possibly spending time in prison because of a second red scare.

Potential consequences are not worth it.

Tourism is not worth being tortured.

Look at that weird person existing on this planet. Damn what a weirdo, just trying to exist!

Soon people will be making up ridiculous code words to make spying harder.

"Mom, I wanna go to that spicy food restaurant because I heard their chefs are very good"

"Okay honey, I am available at 6PM, we can go there together."

Spicy food restaurant = Abortion clinic

Chef = Medical professionals

3 hours are added the time so the time is actually 3PM

Of course, end to end encryption is still the best, but adding code words can provide plausible deniability in case the phone is seized.

If I'm not from lemmy.world and visited a lemmy.world community via my home instance, does the hacker gain access to my account?

If I, while logged in to my home instance, accessed lemmy.world in another tab, does the hacker gain access to my account?

Does this hack infect devices used to access lemmy.world?

Sorry for noob questions, I'm just worried.

Nobody besides currency counterfeiters gets inconveinenced by printers refusing to copy money. But with photos and recordings, some criminal could recreate the signal and prevent a crime being recorded.

Think of it this way. The way I see it federation is similar to an archival service storing a copy of the data. If reddit deletes all info when requested, but archive.org doesn't delete it. Well it ain't reddit's problem anymore.

Similarly, if a user request data deletion of data in their home instance located in the EU, and as long as the instance honors the request and delete their copy, that instance is not liable for other instances not honoring the deletion request. You might have to request data deletion with each individual instance that has a copy of your data, and it's only enforceable if the instance is in the EU where GDPR applies.

That's my interpretation, correct me if I'm wrong.

If they are going to restrict sideloading, they'll probably restrict bootloader unlocking too. In the future, just make sure you research the bootloader unlockablility before buying a phone, because the next pixel might be locked.

You do know that sometimes a post does get posted when you click post once, even if it might seem to be spinning for a while?
