Oh I didn’t see anything like that. Must be from people I’ve already blocked.

I’m saying you don’t have to be two-faced or hypocritical to encourage theft from or destruction of data centers.

How can you “admonish Lemmy”? Accusing individuals of hypocrisy or being two-faced would require you to understand the moral framework they’re coming from. A lot of them probably have something similar to what I described.

What the heck are you on about? You can absolutely have a consistent moral framework that destroys data centers while protecting individuals. Hell, call it humanist or something.

Or maybe put the address on Craigslist and say you’re moving and there’s hella free copper, RAM and graphics cards.

What is the highest-leverage attack on this kind of installation? Like most people don’t have access to cruise missiles (though if you do, please do the thing!), but I’m thinking ventilation intake. Like take a can of expanding foam (ie, GreatStuff), duct-tape an M-80 to it, light and chuck it into the ducting.

Yeah you really need to check the Wiki before shopping. OnePlus is a pretty good choice. That’s what I had until switching to GrapheneOS (Pixel devices only for now, something from Moto next year).

I was just on a flight with that, and it was ass. I got a few text messages in and out, but that was about it.

Reading this in the US today with my AC broken and my property mgmt telling me “tough titty, everyone is having that problem right now”.

I’ll get dragged, I’m sure, but if your plans for a mass movement rely on millions of people getting the equivalent of a masters degree in dialectical materialism, you’re gonna have a bad time. Like, nothing against reading/studying, but you’ll sway the masses with propaganda and exemplification. What I like best about anarchists, is precisely that they get out into the streets and do stuff. Not that reading and doing are mutually exclusive, but IME there’s quite a lot of (negative) correlation. All I’m really saying, is let’s all play to each others’ strengths, and work together.

Their purpose isn’t to make quality products. Their purpose is to make money. Especially now, they don’t really have to compete, so we’re forced to support and subsidize their garbage (and their attacks on us).

Main camera is whatever default is for Graphene. Also use “Open Camera” and “Fair Scan” from fdroid.

I just use a different camera app for those kind of pictures (receipts, etc). That camera app is configured to save pix to a location that doesn’t get backed up.

Their update notes are always jokey.

I understand this argument, but I don’t think it’s anymore “foolproof”. How often are you going to have to present ID? Every hour?

Something I never see anyone talk about, is how, with all the ‘fingerprinting’ and data collection/analysis these companies do, they already know whether you’re 18 or not. I know this isn’t actually about “protecting the children”, but I’d still like to hear more discussion from the angle of: they already surveil us enough for this purpose.

Fully support Meta killing this awful product.

Honestly, that part about eating nothing but pie for two days makes me feel like this is a mood mild but elaborate troll.

We have to keep fighting, and it isn’t easy but we have been building great things! Look at the growth of the fediverse with projects like mastodon, Lemmy, pixelfed, etc. More and more, people want alternatives to surveillance-capitalist social media platforms. They see the value in privacy as the stakes get higher for activists. Keep fighting, keep sharing.

Now, I also believe that ultimately we cannot solve political problems with technical solutions. We need to organize online and offline to effect real change. This organization must be multifaceted (“diversity of tactics”). A recent success of this type has been rolling back flock surveillance in municipalities around the US. Go to city council meetings with your neighbors. If the council won’t listen, then go out later with a comrade and smash those fucking things.

If you’re one of those people super against hijab, do a say, duckduckgo image search for “women in headscarves”. You will see many cultures represented. They aren’t all Muslim, even. Which ones are ‘bad’ and which ‘good’? Would you also ban Orthodox Christians/Jews, or Hindu women from covering their hair? Rasta women?
