Dreame robot vacuum

1. needs a proprietary app with 7 trackers and all the permissions https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.dreame.movahome/latest/

2. app needs phone number or e-mail address

3. robot needs wifi, but can't use tethering on the phone. it needs the password of the wifi that the phone is connected with.

Every day there are news reports of 17, 22, 31 “Maoists” killed. Many of those killed are simply tribal villagers caught in the crosshairs of the deadly, remote-controlled sophistry of modern weaponry. How do these weapons decide who is a Maoist? How do you throw a bomb from a helicopter and know it will land only on a Maoist? What does a Maoist look like? Nobody knows. If supporting the Adivasi cause or reading Karl Marx in your city apartment can get you labelled an urban naxal, then every forest-dweller clinging to her land can be a Maoist. The labels work like infrared emissions, attracting arrests and bullets with unerring regularity.

@wyatt8740 I too used to apply #HATEOAS: anything accessible through URLs in HTML documents was fair game. That was until I encountered a whole captchalogue of methods that websites use to deter scraping.

1. #RateLimit per IPv4 address and /24 and publish no AAAA record for IPv6, with 24-hour fail2ban penalties for exceeding a limit
2. #CAPTCHA
3. #LoginWall (what Twitter tried and still uses in a scaled-back form)

I saw discussion elsewhere about #paywall #loginwall #spywall et al, and it sparked two #thoughts.

1. Since changing #browser settings to #javascript off default & whitelist sites I actually use I have been having such a better #ux. many news paywalls are stupidly just #js enacted, so disabled.

2. Is there a #mastodon / #fediverse site that renders plain #html instead of this annoying #dhtml cruft? I would love to be able to just… read or print threads or something without all [gestures] this.

Leider lese ich immer weniger Schweizer Presseerzeugnisse, weil der Link von Twitter oder Mastodon häufig direkt in eine #Loginwall oder #Paywall führt. Löbliche Ausnahme ist die @RepublikMagazin, wo man verlinkte Artikel ohne Login lesen kann.
