ohwhatfollyisman,

i don’t understand why one would even broadcast such a find. just keep the cash and keep mum.

ohwhatfollyisman,

pshhhh. just transport the pollution elsewhere. problem solved.

ohwhatfollyisman,

“you know all those hundreds of war crimes you’ve committed? yeah, this one may be one more.”

ohwhatfollyisman,

looks like it’s easy for their politicians to choose between Victor or Ban?

ohwhatfollyisman,

and thus they appear to have “won”.

and? so what? getting the last word in isn’t everything.

ohwhatfollyisman,

what was his crime? eating a meal? a succulent chinese meal?

Black man who borrowed father's BMW questioned, forcibly arrested outside home (www.cbc.ca)

tl;dr - Black man driving his dad’s BMW is detained for being suspicious because he doesn’t look like the sort of person who drives that car. He is subject to a rough arrest as his mother watches. Gatineau police insist there was no racial profiling.

ohwhatfollyisman,

wasn’t this already an episode of fresh prince?

ohwhatfollyisman,

they’re proposing to lock same-sex partners together for 15 years? why not just let them live together by themselves – they save 15 years’ worth of taxpayer money per person!

ohwhatfollyisman,

man, wait till Putin hears this story. a lot of typhoons will be reported near the houses of russian dissidents.

I'm looking for a task time tracking app (android, and/or desktop Linux)

I’m trying to keep a log of the time that I spend doing specific tasks throughout the day. Currently, the way that I am doing this is by constantly running a stopwatch and filling out a spreadsheet for the day — when a task is completed, I lap the stopwatch and add the task and the time spent on that task in a row in the...

ohwhatfollyisman,

there are a few time trackers on f-droid that seem to fit thia requirement.

“a time tracker” is one.

Senior doctors in South Korea submit resignations, deepening dispute over medical school plan (apnews.com)

Senior doctors at major hospitals in South Korea began submitting their resignations en masse Monday in support of medical interns and residents who have been on a strike for five weeks over the government’s push to sharply increase medical school admissions....

ohwhatfollyisman,

Tell me what sort of quality education you would get if your university class had increased by 2/3rd in size?

this is a valid point, but it’s not a point i see junior doctors striking for. it’s not like the quality of education that a country offers after they’ve graduated would weigh so heavily on their minds.

occam’s razor applies here. they are worried that there will suddenly be an influx of new doctors that will reduce their own earning capacity.

your point on expanding facilities first won’t help end the strike since it doesn’t address the core problem. the government should simply look to sneakily boil the frog here (and this is only because being the last in a list of doctor:patient ratio is never a good thing).

ohwhatfollyisman,

so you have 7 of Man Utd’s playmaker and 4639 of Arsenal’s holding midfielder?

ohwhatfollyisman,

you’re correct, it’s what the adguard app gets up to in the background.

the two vpns are not concurrently active.

ohwhatfollyisman,

it’s an upload limitation here, i think?

ohwhatfollyisman,

it’s DDG that’s active, and which has filtered out these tracking requests sent by the adguard vpn android app (with its own vpn inactive) in the background.

ohwhatfollyisman,

you are correct. activating one switches off the other. but the adguard vpn app still runs in the background even with its own vpn deactivated – and that’s when these requests were caughtin DDG’s net.

ohwhatfollyisman,

would you have done this with the ad guard vpn deactivated but the app still running in the background?

I’ve been using the app for a few montha now and it’s only today that it got flagged in the DDG report. it’s not shown up before.

ohwhatfollyisman,

i dont know why it’sa at such a low resolution here. it’s fine on my phone.

here, ill try uploading a fresh non-stretched single-screen screenshot to see if the size was the issue.

(i don’t know how it will turn out myself until after i post it.)

ohwhatfollyisman,

wow. this is good detail, indeed!

so is this an app one should avoid using, then?

ohwhatfollyisman,

thanks for the feedback. i would be happy to hear what I’m presuming incorrectly here. always willing to learn and gain an understanding of how things do work.

ohwhatfollyisman,

i can see where you’re going with this but, no, these are not sites that i’ve visited. for example, my country has its own amazon domain and verizon does not operate where i live.

nope, this is all the adguard vpn android app on its own.

ohwhatfollyisman,

i get what you’re saying, but the vpn was inactive when the app sent these requests. DDG was active at the time and using the VPN slot.

so it isn’t the vpn functionality, per se, of the app that’s doing anything here.

ohwhatfollyisman,

yes, that’s my question too.

ohwhatfollyisman,

the vpn wasn’t connected at the time these requests were sent. that’s how DDG captures these requests, by using the vpn slot itself. these requasts were sent by the adguard app in the background when it was deactivated.

the data sent to third-party ttrackers had nothing to do with the vpn functionality or of other apps funneling their data through it.

this observation has also been corroborated by another user using other means elsewhere in the comments. do give it a dekko, too.

ohwhatfollyisman,

this is a possibility. one that i haven’t accounted for.

but is there any literature that verifies this? the closest I’ve found in context is this page, and I’m not able to resolve what you’re saying with whats on there: adguard.com/kb/general/…/filter-policy/

i don’t have enough info yet to update the post with this conjecture.

ohwhatfollyisman,

all good info. and all agreed. but the issue in this post isn’t the vpn functionality.

it’s what the adguard android app does in the background when the vpn, itself, is disconnected. that’s when these rogue requests were sent.

ohwhatfollyisman,

just an observation: the two scenarios aren’t the same from the poaition of thw protestor.

she says that her god has a plan for all the babies. her contention is that abortion messes with that ‘plan’.

the argument that her god killed the first-born of egyptians is not relevant here. while it displays cruelty, if anything, it supports her position.

her god had a ‘plan’ for those killings as well. her premise here is not that ‘killing’ of foetuses is cruel, it’s that doing so messes with this ‘plan’. so should – in her eyes – saving those first-borns in egypt.

now, i am pro-choice and not allowing safe access to abortion is an act of inhumanity for me – and I’m the staunchest of atheists around as well as a person not brought up around this woman’s faith – but the interviewer here has got the wrong end of the horse.

ohwhatfollyisman,

yep, absolutely, and this would have been a valid counterargument from the presenter. to attack the relevance of the ‘plan’ than the cruelty aspect.

this is exactly what my OC intended.
