What does "voter activation" mean in a country that requires that every person who can vote must vote?
I was seeing the reports from the first pass which said it was almost guaranteed that Lula would not win because of what the results of the first were. I wonder what caused that prediction to fail. I am glad the son of…
"Someone was asking me the other day how to keep thieves from stealing my car. I told them it is not possible, if the car is on the street it is on the street. I don't see how making a law will change that..." Consider…
I have an openwrt router running wireguard. I use it to provision the peer keys and routes. I also use openwrts cloudflare ddns which is super simple to setup. Any new client I want to add I jump into the wireguard…
I used to LOVE tailscale. Then I put wireguard on my home network exposed to the internet with a dynamic DNS provider and it immediately became irrelevant. Not only is raw wireguard more stable (I don't have to fight…
That just means the restriction can be used again in the future. All they have to do is recind it faster than the courts work and then it'll always be a tool in their toolbox regardless of the legality of it.
Since those 1s and 0s became heavy enough to cause a global shortage of memory and GPUs.
>even worse, your phone that you carry around in public Sorry to attach on to such a small part of your comment. Why do you think having it attached to your phone is worse? In my understanding phones are WAY more secure…
Contributing to Open Street Map has given me a ton of satisfaction. Knowing that my somewhat minor efforts to correct one address, add one feature, correct one trail will propagate to so many different places and help…
I've always loved the ridiculousness of the "going dark" label when law enforcement can't access encrypted chats or a back door isn't built into a piece of software. When there are security cameras on the vast majority…
With fewer and fewer interesting things getting added from one generation to the next, freedom, security, and privacy have become my main selling point when deciding on a phone. 7 years of updates, strong hardware…
Stop manipulating our markets under the guize of national security or protecting Americans. If we need to be protected from bad behavior we need to be protected by all bad behavior regardless of it's origin. Has back…
They should have never been deployed to begin with. How expensive are drones? Way less expensive than a police officer. They can be deployed at scale. You can imagine a world where every move everyone makes is tracked.…
I have fairly simplistic view of the economics involved here. Could you explain why the ability to sell more chips wouldn't be sufficient enough incentive to increase supply?
Might be nitpicking, but USC 1983 does not prevent anything, it is an attempt at restitution after the fact, and even then, when qualified immunity in play the efficacy of even that is questionable. What does it cost a…
Just this morning I listened to an EFF podcast episode (Effector) about how license plate readers tend to suffer from mission creep. They might be deployed for one of the "reasonable" purposes you list but when the tool…
I don't think "could" is doing a lot of work here at all. It seems logical that if cases where the misuse of flock systems were discovered only when the same officers misbehaved in other, more visible situations then…
That is far down the list of reasons someone might want to know who is performing actions against them with the backing of the federal government. Much higher on the list would be accountability if they do something…
Pardons only enable presidents to direct their goons to operate outside of the rule of law without repercussions.Having one individual with strong incentives to enable their team stay in power as much as possible retain…
This could fit in well with the Pixel's upcoming desktop mode or Samsung DeX. Hopefully Google keeps developing desktop mode to make it more usable.
This is the tired excuses: If you've got nothing to hide then you shouldn't want privacy And If you already lack privacy in some places you should just give up on having any. The first is stupid. If there exists…
It seems like a centralized authority for DNS that must answer to some government is prone to censorship. Would moving domain registration into a public Blockchain allow for a more resilient and democratized internet?
Organic Maps is great and I'm hoping the transition to Forgejo goes smoothly for the project. I've recently started hiking and just generally going outside in my community more. When I relied on Google Maps I would get…
Have you ever experienced prison yourself or through someone close? Prisons don't put people on a level playing field at all. It is significantly more comfortable to be rich in prison than poor in prison.
Why do you feel that info is relevant? If my driver's license expired yesterday and then I get pulled over while I'm driving to the DMV today to get it renewed, should I not get a citation? Just because they had…
