Uh, maybe don’t correct him.

100% there is shit under this guy’s fingernails

Via spinal tap to be sure

No its not at all. There have been some really good posts about it here even. Personally, I’m currently using non pirated software professionally that I obtained initially through piracy and achieved mastery of. No way I ever could have afforded it, but now I’m indirectly promoting use through my work and am a customer.

For better arguments read Breakey or Krukowski.

If you are new here keep an open mind, there’s a lot to learn and some pretty smart cats here to teach (and I’m not claiming to be one of them).

Fucking narc

Yeah, my trick is to save up and try to buy the 2nd best components as much as possible. The very best will always have a shiny new thing tax attached to them, but 2nd best is where the real value comes in. Granted I’m not building gaming pcs, so this isn’t too unreasonable. The current market won’t let me get close to what I’d actually like though.

Other is really taking off in 2025. Should we invest in other?

Nice ad bruh.

I’ve been putting off building a new pc. More and more it looks like my 10 year old machine has got a few more years left in it.

Great post. Looking forward to a more secure fediverse. This more important now than ever.

Wow, reading the blurb underneath the photo was just a string of buzzwords with no clear meaning. The real motives here are almost certainly sinister. Nigeria is no stranger to foreign tax abuse and this sounds like just a more creative strategy to achieve age old goals of control and profit

I wonder if tattoo artists have a higher suicide rate than baseline?

Unfortunately Yes, again due to legal interference, but it’s still a very valuable resource.

I can’t emphasize enough how important Sci hub is now more than ever as science is literally under attack by fascists. Making this less accessible is part of a bigger agenda and is a travesty. I encourage anyone with the ability to mirror to please do so.

Meh, Disney porn is already abundant. Really don’t need this.

At this point I think everyone should be concerned. Use encrypted communication as much as possible. I find it really helpful to have my communications saved, so I’m not going to live with the degree of sacrifice needed to be a ghost. I have prey setup for remote wipes and have practiced rapid factory reset wipes locally.

Erasing one’s phone if you had a warrant for search is exactly what I would advise someone to do. Take your chances the evidence destroying charge over handing over what they might use against you unknowingly. For all I know my stash of articles on the efficacy of vaccines could be deemed contraband in this day and age or perhaps my trans cake fart video library now violates a state law with each video bearing a one year prison sentence. There’s a term for anyone that trusts the US legal system is going to treat them justly and that’s “damn fool”

Rural ED doc trigger warning please.

Which strangely enough sounds exactly like what a conservative stance actually is. The “conservatives” are the extremists now and them dems are spineless snails.*

I’m having a tough time thinking of an example where this makes sense. I guess if there was one incriminating document they had evidence was on your phone and then you wiped it you’d be interfering with the investigation under the assumption there could be more? If they knew a out the one then they would have a copy of it and some proof you have it on your phone. You wiping it doesn’t help you much for that particular crime. If it’s a crime to delete the stuff they didn’t know you had, that sounds ripe for abuse. They could find something banal like a miscompleted tax form and use it to do a deep dive into someone’s entire document library, browser hx, etc. Perhaps I’m on the wrong side of the law on this one, but it seems like the law should favor a right to avoid self-incrimination and a right to protection from unjust violations of privacy. Anyway, while it looks suspicious, couldn’t it just be an accidental data wipe? Cops making accusations against someone could make them nervous, maybe make typing finger shaky and inaccurate. Maybe they could mis-enter their password 10 times in a row and trigger a wipe?
