I’d throw parties probably, but only if poverty were eliminated for everyone.

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.

I can’t believe it! Someone who chose to use a centralized platform instead of Nostr was banned?! It’s so shocking!

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.

If you give your ID to a 3rd party company in the US, it’s impossible to know if they will delete you ID or whether you’ll be added secretly to a facial recognition system.

The US is allowed to issue secret orders to companies demanding they do things in the interest of “security.” They can also issue gag orders forcing companies to not talk about the secret orders. Therefore, any US company may be secretly forced to violate it’s supposed terms. A company that collects biometric information seems like it would be especially likely to be targeted.

Facebook, Instagram, and other social media such as Linked In are likely the largest source of law enforcement information being fed to facial recognition systems. Given the dystopian “ideals” of some politicians, I consider it a risk and wouldn’t do it. Your country may not be sharing that information with the US already.

Additionally, some of these companies have become the main way people get employed, rent things, or buy things. Because these companies serve a public function but are officially private, they can de-platform people for any reason, with no meaningful appeal, creating havoc and misery for an affected person. If you have been flagged to be banned, by giving them your ID, you will let them ban you based on a government document forever. Their system may have flagged you for verification, but it could have also flagged you to be banned forever based on TOS violations.

If you abandon your account, you can always create a new account, then later claim a hacker got you or your forgot your email password. If you provide an ID, you may be linking a government record to biometric information to something they can ban.

A company may also be claiming that they get rid of an ID but still keep a hash of some combination of biometric information.

In theory, anyone in Facebook in California should be able to submit a CCPA request to delete all information, including ban information, and then go on Facebook again, even after a lifetime ban. Anyone in the EU should be able to do this too through GDPR. But this doesn’t happen, because Facebook lies and is also just a rebranding of Lifelog.

It’s official: everyone hates the idea

Well, don’t blame me for my terrible ideas, blame my dealer

Oh, that is a cool idea. AITA-Bot or Human edition

No… This makes you seem real but based on that post I will always know you are AI.

That’s wild. Clearly AI.

So the value is getting a reputation on Lemmy to then influence or peddle shit?

Or is it a testing ground?

No human writes like that.
