Source on the first statement?

It hasn’t, it’s just that good opsec is impossible in the long run and everyone is bound to be deanonymized eventually. For example, if you’re using a clean account on a CP sharing forum, it’s possible to track your mannerisms and post history (content, timezone, etc) to get an estimate of where you live. Then they can subpoena the ISPs for IP traffic in that region and figure out who is using Tor. That subset of IPs may then be cross referenced with the time that suspect’s account posted, that can be used as probable cause for a warrant… That sort of stuff. Sounds super complicated but most of it can be automated and bypassed these days (I don’t think you actually need to subpoena for example).
Where did the suspect fail? He should have used multiple accounts, spaced out the interactions more randomly, used stolen WiFi, ran his comments through a translator and back, etc. At no point did Tor fail at securing his IP address end to end

True but a downvote magnet on Lemmy. But I would dispute the “benefit” part… What exactly is the benefit in not having to learn anything? Why would I even want to exist if not to be good at something and create something? It just seems like we’re building towards stuff that’s better than us at doing what WE want to do as a society. Thinking about chess here: why would I care about the best Stockfish moves in every line of my favorite opening if no one will ever be able to explain them?

Honestly, just erase all graded homework, papers included. All of it. It wasn’t even good at anything to begin with and we would just cheat off each other, but now it’s even worse.

At work and in tests you’ll be using bloomberg terminals, risk software, etc only available on Windows, so why bother?

Unviable for economics and finance in my experience. Excel is absolutely mandatory for these

Damn, that’s a high bar to clear. Almost none of the distros I know pass their criteria

I’m not trying to be mean, but I didn’t really understand much of that. Can you translate from your native language on DeepL or something?

Can someone clue me in to why Mint wouldn’t be “libre”? What does “libre” mean in this context exactly?

Whatever happened to Gary Cooper? The strong, silent type

They can and most of the time they do complain about free apps

The main reason why I use open source is precisely because I don’t need or want to worry about this crap. The software is as much property of humanity as it is of the creator, it is basically just knowledge

How isn’t it possible? Just don’t give them phones, it’s not that complicated

League was the reason I stalled so long, too, but honestly, Riot is just as bad as Microsoft. Vanguard is unacceptable and we should make our voices heard by not playing their games anymore. There are so many great games running just fine on Linux, nowadays I don’t even feel like I’m restricted at all

Yeah, to some things they are

I mean, isn’t this the exact scenario they wrote in the Second Amendment for? Can’t say this reaction is surprising given it’s at the roots of the country and extensively defended by the Founding Fathers

Running the service itself over Tor is the only way to prevent local governments knocking on the admin’s door, though

Hard agree. Decentralization itself doesn’t really work against censorship, you need an additional layer of privacy, or, more ideally, anonymity. Is there a way of running a lemmy instance over Tor?

Can’t disagree here, this would be great

I see you have commented about those intentions a few times. I don’t know how serious you are about opsec, but in these times I would refrain from publicizing any violent intentions without at least being in a secure account I have only ever accessed via Tor, and I wouldn’t post personal stuff like cat pictures or mentions of any siblings in that account. Please, be safe
