Yeah. I don’t want a civil war because I don’t want to live in a mix of allies and enemies with no clear front line. I bet ICE doesn’t want that either. Hence the masks, and deploying troops from one state to another. One of the oldest warlord tricks in the book.

What should anyone have done different? Not built for one of the largest platforms with the most users?

Yeah but it’s “we” as in everyone not “we” as in “Lemmy commenters”.

So the network effect will keep the average person on a locked-down phone that can’t run anything anti-regime

They’ve been. Demand your privacy back

hey idk if you heard but Organic forked, I’m on CoMaps now Have a good day!

If it’s at that point:

1. Set up a password manager on your desktop
2. Change your account passwords to something too long to remember, and keep them in the password manager

I have a Pixel phone with Graphene for offline maps, Wi-Fi, emergency calls, etc.

yeah golden ears are very rare. 320 kbps of any codec is fine for me.

Hm. I want a plan for when this reaches the US.

Think they’ll block P2P stuff?

I used one for a work project. They are pretty nice for a spite project lol

But it’s 2024 🤔

Maybe it’s uncommon to have a climate where you need both.

My furnace has a humidistat so in the winter we can adjust how much water gets sent into the hot air stream. But it’s always maxed out because it’s really dry every winter here.

In the summer, the AC takes care of dehumidifying. Running a dedicated dehumidifier would be a waste of electricity, at that point just turn on the AC and any extra cold is a buffer against running the AC later on.

It’s true that a large adversary with a little money (like the US or Israeli government) could host a huge amount of compromised exit nodes and relays (I don’t think compromising exit nodes alone is enough) and de-anonymize users.

It is also true that you can run a relay right now by running the Snowflake proxy in a normal browser tab: https://snowflake.torproject.org/

It is safe to run a relay on your home connection, because you aren’t hosting any exit traffic. I’ve never had trouble when I’ve done it.

Tor also hosts “hidden services” or “onion services”, which don’t exit the Tor network. The client and the server agree on a rendezvous node and meet each other there, and the traffic is encrypted from end-to-end. I am pretty secure this is more resistant to the “global passive adversary” type of attack, but nothing is perfect. A GPA can always look at timing and make some correlations based off of it.

It is true that the network is more secure if more people use it, because that provides cover. It is true that if you pirate stuff through I2P you won’t get a letter from your ISP.

Better practice now before you really need it.

If I remember right, flash memory is basically based on static electricity and those cheap SD cards might self-wipe after a couple years being unplugged

but maybe not lol

I’d prefer if you didn’t, if it throws me off just imagine how hard it is for someone with dyslexia or something

Will throttling the CPU use less energy? Phones often do the opposite, they race to idle

I like Benn Jordan a lot but I really doubt a bird can sing 2 MB / s. I saw the spectrogram and it looked pretty fuzzy

sure it’s just frustrating when we’re all strung out to see “americans need to wake the fuck up” in a thread full of woke Americans talking to other woke Americans.

I need a break 😔

Arch is very high-maintenance. Try Debian 13, it just came out this week. Ubuntu is okay but it has a lot of crapware compared to Debian. If your Wi-Fi and GPU work on Debian you do not need Ubuntu.

I’m an experienced Linux desktop user of about 15 years and I switched from Arch to Debian and I don’t miss Arch. If you need bleeding-edge software you can use a combo of Nix, language package managers, and building from source. Arch doesn’t add much plus I frequently ran the wrong pacman command and soft-locked myself out of the OS. Debian doesn’t do that to me.
