The only good authoritarian is a dead authoritarian.
Follow me on Mastodon: Unwillingly observing the end of democracy
That’s a wonderful idea. Wish I had done that when I first started. I know the basic process behind recovering from hardware failures on my NAS, but I’ve never actually gotten any practical experience in doing it, which will probably increase my downtime when it inevitably happens.
Yeah, because nobody wanted to call a phone a phablet. It’s a stupid name.
Floorp isn’t recommended for its privacy features anyway, it’s recommended by users for the amount of customization you can do. It’s got some features that Firefox has that I don’t want to do without.
Because if you had, you would have realized the article was written by the BBC, a UK media outlet. You know, the same UK where guns are already banned.
what the fuck are you even talking about?
Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.
It’s not impossible to pirate without a VPN, just use Usenet. Until a couple months ago when I had some free time and was super super bored, I hadn’t even bothered to tell SABnzbd to use a VPN. Over two ISPs and however many hundreds of episodes and movies watched, I never got any letters. Likewise, you usually are pretty safe on private torrent trackers, because copyright trolls don’t like putting in the effort of maintaining access.
Backed by Shopify, huh? Bet they wish that wasn’t the case, given recent events.
Nonsense, you’re not opening them! You’re fetching them for viewing. It’s totally different!
It’s the number one browser to download other browsers, so yeah, sure!
Are you implying the crypto-bro browser with connections to a billionaire that runs the largest corporate intelligence agency in the world may not be the best choice of browser? That’s not the sort of attitude that generates value for the shareholders.
Because you listen to news that makes money by sensationalizing everything for profit, and happy stories don’t sell papers. There’s plenty of uplifting stuff happening in the world every day that flies under the radar.
you do not need a phone at a protest. and do not buy a burner phone either, because even if you pay with cash, they can track you. there are a few hackers that have gotten caught this way. every phone sold has the location it was sold, and when, recorded. at that point, it’s trivial for law enforcement to ask for camera footage that shows who bought the phone.
To be fair, if you set up a Servar stack, you should already know enough not to use utorrent.
A better way to put it is that email clients don’t support Proton. And I doubt any are going to make an effort to, unless the way Proton works becomes the norm. You would have to completely redesign the email client.
It’s far easier for everyone to write an app that can then be used by any email client.
it may be like that in the “third world”, but in western countries at least, if you don’t have a cell phone you are pretty much actively discriminated against. many government programs, not to mention utilities, require the use of a smartphone app. for example, my electric company requires one, as does my internet company. you can’t even begin service with my ISP if you don’t have an app.
if you live in the US, you’ll find it very difficult to even find a job without a cell phone, as most unemployment programs or job listings are done through apps these days. so the first thing any homeless person needs to acquire, is internet access and social media.
I see a lot of people asking for mutual aid, and it’s often “I’ve had a hard day and just want some McDonalds, please help”
OK, that’s not mutual aid, and you shouldn’t be asking for that under that hashtag. if you need help paying your rent, or with gas money so you don’t lose your job, that’s something that appropriate for mutual aid. asking for money for vices should be something you do off the hashtag, or on your OF or something. mutual aid is for people helping where they can, when they can, for problems that are serious and life-altering. and nothing else.
How To Secure Your Phone
Why is this even an article? Do not bring your phone to protests, especially under a republican president, especially one like Trump.
what about those of us who snap them in half?
