Immigration & travel controls > Information controls Information wants to be free! :^)
Voting has to have the implication of violent force from the polity to dissuade abrogation of the vote. If people need not apply for a functioning economy, and Palantir/Flock like systems reduce the violence potential…
He's right, you're coping.
I think the friendship is spectacular, and I think Rossmann should go even harder than he does!
We must inculcate into our children and youth a supreme distrust of and skeptical eye for both government and corporations. They are both systems of resource acquisition and control, whose interests often come into…
Not only the telescreens, but my impression of the world in 1984 is that the surveillance depended on an army of watchers at the opposite end. Today we have models of all kinds: classification models, speech to text…
GrapheneOS is such a breath of fresh air, truly you don't need the crApple device.
I don't blame VW because EPA's requirements were killing diesel cars in the US. There haven't been any new model diesel passenger cars in about ten years now. Similar policy is why American trucks and SUVs are…
Income is too small, how about in terms of the highest market capitalization between deciding to do the bad thing and being convicted of the bad thing? Maybe some of these penalties should result in bankruptcies for the…
I yanked the OCU (telematics) out of my VW Mk7, and coded out the expectation of its existence from about four other devices with Ross-Tech's VCDS! I also coded out the Bluetooth on my infotainment unit, for good…
I don't know about him but yes yes I do and you should want to, too! :^)
I've replaced batteries on Pixel 3 XL and Pixel 6 Pro, both having run GrapheneOS. I use OSMAnd~ with no network permission (except during maps/POI updates). OSMAnd~ shows me where ALPRs are, so I can plan my routes…
Right, but still my CarbonOS idea ('degraded' GrapheneOS) is better than /e/, Lineage, Calyx, and stock. By 'degraded' I mean the minimal changes to current GrapheneOS needed to get it working on a given…
Still, a 'degraded' GrapheneOS as my proposed CarbonOS, beats /e/, Lineage, Calyx, and stock. Not doing CarbonOS is throwing the baby (non-hardware hardening and features) out with the bathwater (the lack of hardware…
While yes I am "on GrapheneOS' team" on these issues, I'm surprised nobody forks the GrapheneOS repo and simply disables the handful of features which block it from working on devices. Maybe calling the fork CarbonOS?…
It's a blue-bubblification, something which tricks the mind.
We should stop calling it "side-loading" and start calling it "front-loading." App store primacy in the users' minds is a cancer.
>What's especially stuck in my mind lately is how insecure basically all desktop OS' feel. In at the point of buying a second and third GPU for my desktop to run my email and browser in dedicated VMs because everything…
In a world where economics makes security hardly a secondary concern, a situation exploited by both the intelligence and surveillance broker sectors, dogmatic sanctimony for high security is a feature and not a bug.
... and my opinion becomes more positive with each rant. We'll have to agree to disagree. I am thankful that they are attempting to diversify with Motorola, being entirely Pixel dependent has been a project…
We move to the fediverse, hyphanet, etc, and leave the normies in the slop shops. We build a high information quality environment for us which is not easily centralize-able or lockin-able, and eventually the slop shops…
In response to this, we should push to directly tax Elon Musk's wealth. :^)
