No need to be paranoid, IMEI/IMSI are built into the protocols. Phone networks were never built with anonymity in mind

It’s alright for non-critical stuff. Ok for getting help, not the best for coordinating action.

Reticulum is an alternative network/protocol that focuses more on security and interconnection of different networks

With the SIM completely turned off, maybe. But it’s still a bad idea.

He does know that Xitter is already, actually and literally, censoring their political opposition right?

If you didn’t already hear it, Cory Doctorow recently gave a talk about this at 39C3, the Chaos Computer Club conference. Search “A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet” in your frontend of choice

Trump is literally unable to see the difference. It doesn’t matter if it was but there by him or someone else, the important thing is that “big thing has my name on it”. He doesn’t see how miserable it is, in his mind he’s winning

He did, in his head.

Nonsense, the US is all the way to the left and Russia is all the way to the right, they’re at the opposite ends.

/s but probably how trump thinks about it

Wait, what, who? Is someone seriously proposing giving legal rights to fucking LLMs? Is it fucking Sam Altman again?

Are alternative firmwares available?

In a lot of countries the regular policeman you meet on the street have no firearms on them and yet have lower crime rates than the US.

“Policing” effectively does not require violence. Why do American cops always throw people on the ground and/or force their arms when cuffing them? If they’re unarmed and cooperative that’s entirely unnecessary, yet it seems standard practice there.

Also, the continued use of “law enforcement” over “police” and “cops” is one of the greatest acts of newspeak. You aren’t against enforcing the law are you? That would make you an anarchist and a terrorist

I don’t see it, you can just make a system service that starts it on system startup. You can specify a dependency on the display manager being up if you’d like. But I don’t see why the DM itself needs to start it

I’m still not sure I understand why you can’t start the RDP and VPN daemons via systemd or other init?

Could just mean that it will apply plasma’s theme

Is this a joke or am I missing something? Why would you want that from a login manager? To me a VPN is either system-wide or per-user

So, back in the Unix days…

It’s all the tacticool gear.

Of course you wouldn’t want people to think that you’re gay for having a child! Boost his morale, and yours, with a flag patch! Also doubles as body armor because europoors are pussies and won’t shoot a child!

In-app downloads are encrypted, but with https://github.com/nathom/streamrip you can rip FLACs (requires a premium account)

Don’t give into it, stay angry, keep barking at the hand that shocks you. And when it gets close enough, bite the fucker.
