We can join our own private clubs. Like GrapheneOS club. Members only software for devs, experimental work, academia, and tinkering in the club makerspace.

Guess you missed neighborhood checkpoint videos in Minneapolis. They were blocking streets and checking IDs to make sure people driving through lived there rather than ICE agents from out of town. Citizens have busted ICE’s balls to keep citizens from being arrested. Those guys are pitiful sissy losers. But yeah, progress is certainly hard to see sometimes.

Steve Bannon said to “flood the zone.” That’s what they are doing.

Any idea what she is doing next? Still going for senate?

We shouldn’t have to answer anything. It should be an option only for parents to activate, and if they want to use it then THEY can pay for commercial systems or fund opensource stuff that does that rather than everyome opts out or submits an answer either way. They can get childproof computers for their kids, and leave our’s alone. People will just not stop making things worse.

Be a Sense8.

I’m worried about collection of data. If attestation is useful, then why not just offer it as something to market for only those who need it, like parents who want to restrict for children? Just make a law that devices sold after 2026 cannot be given to kids under whatever age without attestation options. Even then, the device can have the option and not a requirement.

I thought primaries were later this year.

Dude basically just said that Reps were more responsive than Dems when he tried to lobby. Everyone’s translation was that he must love Trump.

Who tf needs too? There’s thousands if distros by now.

We just need to write Jasmine Crockett’s name on the ticket. Fuck the rest of the dems.

It’s awesome. Welcome!

Something in gut hub can still be “in development.” Nobody has to comply with every regulation before they are finished. Goddamn these vultures. They’ve been nonstop since SOPA and PIPA back in 2010 or whenever.

So what’s actually going on in Cali for them to have such a douchebag governor?

Which do y’all think is worse? [Serious]

I love how big corp is already ready. It’s almost as if they somehow knew all along that all the govs with bribable legislators would be making laws they all seemed to arbitrarily adopt at once. Can’t wait for the shill AI slop response to this comment making it seem like a good idea.

It’s just shifting the Overton Window. Don’t fall for it. How many pedophiles do you see in jail? Protect the kids my ass.

This has to be AI slop comment. “Banning children from public discussion?” Seriously? Nobody wants this shit.

Gift cards don’t work for me. Guess I need one ordered from outside the US.

Proton sent my unread messages to my gmail account. I guess it’s time to move away from them too. I already don’t use them on my phone.

Why?

My damn neighbors have that crap. Ring pointed right at my house.

Luigi the CEOs.

Yeah, me too. I’ve already been wanting to make refrigerators. How hard can it be? I assume shitty regulations are the biggest holdup.

No, but you can not shop your way out of it. Fuck it. Who needs a TV anyways?

I always wonder how much my PS5 is spying on me.

Stoves, washers, dryers, and ovens with knobs too please!

Widespread user backlash? Those of us who value privacy probably stopped watching streamed services anyway. The user base that cares is probably 1%. Nobody I know cares about privacy enough to implement countermeasures.

Yeah I can’t watch my favorite childhood movies without cringing because I know those Hollywood creeps molested the young actors. I still watch them though. I figure their work shouldn’t be minimized just because other people suck.

Tell them to eat shit. You don’t like my domain? Block it and fuck off. Parent your shitty kids.

I saw a carousel for kids today and thought it looked creepy. Everything is so bad that now when I see something made for joy or innocent-looking, I automatically think it’s a front for something sinister. The current state of affairs is bad.

TLDR; know your job, get off big tech, use privacy ohine and carriers, stop buying shit from assholes, learn how to be alone Learn your job better than anyone else. Good ole boys club, affirmative action, and nepotism can’t make up for incompetence. I’ve overcompensated for being from a poor family my whole tech career by going above and beyond and learning more and more skills. After 20 years, people listen to me and I have an insane amout of leverage in my workplace. No google, gmail (almost 100%off), Amazon Prime, reddit, Facebook, Instagram, youtube, or Spotify. I am using several emails in Europe. Amazon and Facebook were easy to remove. Reddit was replaced with Lemmy. I also use Mastadon and Pixelfed. Make a personal threat model first so you don’t go nuts implementing countermeasures. Get NextDNS on your phone and filter trackers if tracking is an issue for you. Good luck on this long journey. Instead of Firefox, I use Libre and I started using Tor browser and FOSS browser for Android, and with my new phone a native fork of Bromite that was preinstalled. Instead of my Samsung phone, I bought a Fairphone 6 with e/OS already installed and am using Murena as my carrier. This just became available in the US. I’m transitioning to it all now. So far customer service is slow through email, but they responded over night and no issues with coverage. I started voting with my attention, but also with my wallet. No Target. No Ticketmaster. Absolutely no Coors ever! There are a few things I refuse to buy. Also, I have a bit of each paycheck go into an emergency account of a bank that does not exist in my state. If I have to withdraw, I either need to cross state lines or find a local co-op participant bank. After several years, I have not only a huge emergency fund but also 6 months of living expenses that I transferred to a money market account when the emergency account got too high. I have made withdrawals for auto repairs and to hospitalize my pet. I don’t buy too many things. Mostly just clothes that are durable and video games. Saving money means you can tell your boss to kiss your ass if you need to. Your vote might not count as much, but your wallet, data, and attention can be used to vote every day. Also just be by yourself. Stop going out every chance. Do your own thing. There are worse thing than being alone. Be very careful if you date. Watch for red flags like love bombing and people who constantly speak negatively about your friends / family. You don’t need all this stuff!

That I was able to retaliate against the billionaire class that made my people suffer. Can I throw rubbish at them while their spirits are chained in the bad place?
