I’ve traveled a lot, and it’s pretty common to have to specify your place of residence on your entry card. i remember my guide book telling me to just pick some place you intend to stay from their accommodations section.

but I have never been asked to document my full stay as long as you can show an exit ticket within the allowed time frame.

once I went to Thailand, planned on traveling there and down to Singapore later - as the flight back from Singapore was later than my allowed time in Thailand I was forced to buy an early enough flight to Singapore on site. so yes, there are all kind of requirements in all kind of places - but they can be handled in much better ways than what this article is describing.

“WHO SHOULD APPLY? Your travel is for 90 days or less”

I’d say 5 weeks is well within the scope of esta.

I’m disappointed. I thought you figured out how to have a decentralized scoring system 😃

and it’s wrong, too. it’s not pornography, it’s rape.

I’m not active on linked in, but 0 posts and 3500 followers rose my suspicions

I mean… like everything this comes in many levels… go on the main road with your car, cameras will catch you. sign in with your public transport card when boarding the bus… these are obvious. use a cab, pay cash. ride a bike, change cities, change states, change countreis… depends on your threat model I guess :D

if your travel with burner and normal phone for one hour, both switched on, cell tower registrations are in sync and both are easily linked. if your switch on your burner only occasionally at random locations, but your real phone is/was there at the same time they are linkable.

to use a burner:

• never switch on at home
• leave main phone at home, switched on
• travel a reasonable distance before switching the burner on
• don’t travel with people who know you and who carry a phone
• sim & phone mustn’t be bought/topped-up in a traceable way
• cover cameras at all times (there are 0click exploits available to three letter agencies)
• don’t travel in a traceable way

it’s possible, but certainly not trivial.

also: depends on the power of your adversary, as always the personal threat model is relevant. using a burner to cheat on your spouse is not the same as using one when plotting to steal the nuclear codes.

it’s rather easy to link a burner phone to you if you don’t know exactly what you are doing. no need for a phone, don’t take any risk.

Any comment on the relation between signups/total-members/daily-active-users/users-never-seen-after-their-first-week? While the growth looks amazing, I wonder how many just try and leave.

I didn’t even compare, just took a random one off f-droid, and it’s already 10x better than anything reddit gave me. Maybe I’m missing out, but I’m still happy!

Also: Bring reddit down!!!

This comment was flagged as hate speech. Embrace for incoming ban.

I had 5 different reddit accounts, deleted them all a week ago. Of course I forgot to have a look at the saved comments, but well… old news are old anyway. I’m just blown away by lemmy, so much better ux, sadly way less content. But those numbers indicate that this is about to change, too :-)

I completely ditched amazon - private and for my company. there are so many other options, slightly less convenient admittedly, but also slightly cheaper. works for me!
