Because if there is proprietary code that is compiled, but can’t be read, it’s hard to know if there is data harvesting that people can’t opt out of. And proprietary code being added paves the way for more proprietary code. If this is an incorrect understanding, someone correct me.
I dont trust someone who has affiliate links in code to not be selling unique identifiers like ip adresses etc.
Sleep deprivation is often used on people in such situations. Which is why what you are saying is so important: be prepared for it.
“Hey Bro, you’re really such a pussy, you’re going to leave this coal mine because the canary died? I’m an alpha bro, don’t be such a beta.”
Now apply this to literally the entire fucking world. This is our current reality.
Use Qubes like a normal person you freak! That’s the option.
this is not funny. the computer on the right is using windows. put both of those pieces of shit in the same left panel and on the right put a logo that isn’t linked to some closed-source piece of trash
Dweeb!?! How do you know that? Leave me alone you malevolent hacker.
Many men look at the pain/reward ratio and it’s not actually worth it. People are rational: toiling away to at best afford a tiny apartment that takes up half your salary while the other half is spent on food is not alluring. Ironically, this guy is in a position to alter society so the rewards are not so small and instead he chooses moral condemnation as the tool to motivate, as though his castigation will change the equation. He may be an idiot or may be very intelligent and just exploiting the system by saying what people want to hear to distract from the real problem.
although i get your point, the usa, for all its many problems and atrocities, isn’t specifically arresting people based on religion or ethnicity and hauling them into forced labor camps.
there are arguments that systemic racism, combined with forced labor in prisons, creates a situation in which there is de facto racial slavery (because statistically we know some black people will be wrongly arrested due to racism and forced to be slaves in prison), but despite this also being awful, it’s not the equivalent of an explicit policy rounding up a religious minority for work camps
Uyghurs are in forced labor camps. That seems like worse bullying.
Windows is awful. Why do you want that decaying ship with rotten wood to float?
But why even care if some random loser gets fucked by Microsoft? It’s like the religious idiots out there who don’t believe in global warming and hate trans people: you can’t deprogram stupid. It’s like waging a war against bears taking a shit in rivers.
KryptKey is much easier than Kleopatra. It works as a keyboard and encrypts and decrypts on the fly. It’s a powerful local too that’s very usable. Kleopatra is great for people who can learn the OPSEC but it may not be great for have a quick back and forth text message discussion.
It’s better to use SXC to protect metadata or Signal (if they can’t get in) to protect metadata. Texts show who is chatting with who. PGP also has a more identifiable structure and they could ban PGP and then scan for it easily based on PGP headers. KryptKey is more censorship resistant because the outputs can’t be scanned for as easily since data can be encrypted with normal words.
I get the point but this post is more geared towards communities who could be targeted by ice and may/may not get a tip-off ice is in the area
The post is also geared towards a future in which trans people are rounded up for required mental health assesments, and since definitions of mental health disorders are so arbitrary and often have psuedoscientific reasons for their criteria, that would be scary for trans people.
Protesting is great, but the religious idiots outnumber the nonreligious idiots. I’m not sure signs and yelling will deprogram cult members.
Please stop saying sacreligious comments like this. It’s offensive to religious people.
Most people are attracted to others or not attracted to other based on visual information and pheromone information. Then secondarily, people become more or less attracted to someone based on personality.
So if your personality is not dominant and comes across as submissive or mild, that really probably has zero impact at all on the initial attraction of others.
I’m so impressed by this. I wish I had your level of skill! lol
Life evolves in a certain environment, and usually anything that changes that environment will be bad. And some organisms adapt to that bad, and some don’t.
An example of this is stuff like highly processed foods, coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, women in the workforce, and effects of fetal health. I am in favor of women’s rights, but female stress and alcohol use and cigarette usage have all been found to affect prenatal health, and women in the workforce during pregnancy may be correlated with higher female stress. (I am in favor of women in science and working, that is not an anti-woman comment.)
So the human body is always signaling to other cells and neighboring cells and if there’s plastic blocking the signaling, it’s going to effect how cells grow and die and likely their epigenetic expression. The question is how much? If the microplastics are damaging cells, and they likely do but knowledge to be sure, then there’s resulting healing processes that may increase inflammation, and inflammation has wide-ranging effects on organic systems.
I can’t fathom that these microplastic don’t impact prenatal health. Babies in utero are more impacted by smaller things because it changes the growth patterns.
It also seems very likely to me that having things like this, which could alter epigenetics and brain structure growth, would possibly result in more varied phenotypes (ie, more autism, more transgender people, etc) and more miscarriages. I say this as someone who is pro-LGBT, but a lot of these microplastics act as endocrine disruptors.
When you see Elon Musk doing so much Ketamine that he’s starting to, according to some, lose it, and he’s possibly using Ketamine for depression, it is likely because of how environmentally fucked the planet is. His whole angle is to get the fuck off this planet and try again somewhere else and it may or may not work.
This planet is environmentally fucked, and environmental problems show the core problem with Democracy: when you have scientific idiots choosing which psychopath to govern, it doesn’t usually result in ecological harmony. Then all the communist governments are just trying to compete with the capitalist governments, fatally chugging along. The Scandanavian countries, with their death metal and embrace of nihilism, are filled with people who accept that we may all be doomed, although some of them are trying. Then you have pockets of liberals all over who are keyboard warriors while the real activists are few and far between. And it may not even matter if there is activism. It’s almost certainly too late and we’re all going to die. Try to look surprised when it happens.
It’s likely the microplastics are making human stupidity increase, thereby leading people to ignore environmental logic, thereby leading to more microplastics, thereby increasing human stupidity, etc.
As a liberal in most ways (except on guns), and as a pro 2nd Amendment LGBT American, I’m sorry.
Many of us have “evil fatigue” and “ignorance fatigue” and are just exhausted from how many people in our country are total shitheads.
The list of people for me to apologize to: -dead people in Gaza -alive people in Gaza -all Latinos -all transgender people -Canada -all scientists -intellectuals at Harvard -Ukrainians -Women who were killed due to abortion policies -Anyone in a country killed due to a sudden lack of aid without much warning to even prepare
As a mostly liberal American, I just don’t know where to begin. I also think bad environmental policies are going to destroy the planet, and when I look at conservative middle America and how intolerant and racist their values are, I am sort of like “well, maybe total planetary extinction isn’t that bad”
I just don’t know if I could change it at this point, if there’s anything I could do.
The constant horror of the policies being enacted in this country is so terrible, that it’s hard to really continue to say “sorry, we don’t all believe this!” Some people protest, some don’t, but really many liberals are also just treading water psychologically. It’s quite possible that the fatigue being felt is being intentionally induced.
There may be a way to get past the fatigue, but it’s being combined with financial stress, and for me, apologizing to Canada, standing up for Canada, is just not on the top of the list.
I really do not see what is happening as a conservative revolution. I see this as the self-centered wealthy class realizing they can exploit white trash and technology to destroy the middle class and create a permanent underclass and them. I do not think JD Vance Trump Thiel etc are actually religious, I think it is this final push towards neofeudalism.
It feels like it will unfortunately lead to either communism/socialism or neofeudalism, that there isn’t a middle groud.
The neo-feudalists have made a bet: the white trash class is so numerous and so hateful towards transgenders and Latinos and “the other,” that they can simultaneously eliminate many jobs using tech, reduce social services for poverty, and create a new Chinese-style of quasi-authoritarianism in America based on technology ans biometric information… And they can do this as long as they distract the white trash class with tricks and diversions: oh! Look! Mexican criminals! Look over here! Oh no! Transgenders in bathrooms! Look over there!
And so far, the magicians seem to be right. The yokel white trash of middle America, well over 60 percent of the country, is too stupid to realize they are being tricked by a magician.
So, many middle class people, and lower middle class people, especially technological enthusiasts, see what is happening. But what now? I’m exhausted. I do not know how to reason with idiots. I am just trying to brace myself for impact.
