  • I am doubting myself now after not being able to quickly find a verified source but I’ve worked with lots of smart TVs and seem to recall Samsung or LG models using this simulated effect. It would have had to have been simulated since there was no signal coming in, and I recall the pattern being noticably pseudo random.

    As for why: I have no idea! Maybe just for user familiarity reasons, since a lot of people grew up with that kind of analog feedback that the antenna wasn’t getting a signal.

    Take what I said with a grain of salt, though, since like I said I wasn’t able to quickly verify it. It’s a vivid but ambiguous memory, though, since I also thought it was strange



  • I don’t think this is likely to work tbh. I’m sure the app has enough device data to link the user with a broader data profile that would easily eliminate data from people that don’t actually have periods.

    The data profiles people build on citizens aren’t limited to one data source, and emails/phone numbers/browser fingerprints/device details are all things that can be keyed between data sets to relate identities.

    Fascist law enforcement can and would do this kind of thing to chase individuals. This kind of noise seems easy to filter out.







  • I’m sick of private ownership and private decision making about every fucking single aspect of human life from who gets housed to who gets fed to our very culture.

    Americans “hate” dictatorships but allow the economy to be run by a bunch of Lords.

    Socialism is the democratization of the economy. Socialism puts the human and the worker and the people most impacted by these economic decisions at the helm.

    But no, democracy in the economy wouldn’t be free. We need to slave away for fascist dictators.


  • They’re both working for capitalists. Democrats bank on getting the support of capitalists that have morals. Unfortunately most capitalists, and the wealthiest capitalists, don’t. When both parties appeal to the same group but one gives them more of what they want unsurprisingly that’s the one that wins.

    The working class is invisible because the working class is not organized.


  • waiting for a chance to elect the least shitty candidate every 4 years is how you got into this mess.

    If we don’t organize and start taking direct action then nothing will change.

    People need to join organizations in their community or labor unions and begin to directly sabotage the conservative agenda. General strikes should be something that the American left are actively planning right now.

    Don’t sit down, stand up

    and that’s all it is, a reference not a joke.

    A good example of a pavlov joke is the one where pavlov goes to a bar after work, and just as he’s about to order the phone rings in the bar and he shouts “oh shit I forgot to feed the dogs!”
