LOL, no they won’t. They’ll just make you throw out your nail clippers and water, while routinely missing shit that’s actually dangerous.

On the contrary: that just goes to show what a fucking catastrophe for software freedom “Secure[sic] Boot” is.

And which parts does the AGPL violate? Because that’s what the article is about: it becoming available under the AGPL.

Google is so far off the deep end of “cloud” shit and surveillance capitalism that the people running the Play Store can no longer even conceive of software that’s incapable of spying because it doesn’t connect to the Internet to begin with.

It’s a sliding scale; it isn’t just ‘full privacy’ or ‘no privacy’.

Not only is it a sliding scale, it’s a multidimensional one because it also depends on what your threat model is. “Privacy” from an abusive partner snooping on your phone to discover your escape plan, “privacy” from Target trying to market diapers to you when nobody even knows you’re pregnant yet, “privacy” from Cambridge Analytica trying to psychoanalyze you so they can better target you with right-wing propaganda, and “privacy” from an authoritarian government because you’re a journalist trying to protect whistleblowers are all different goals that may require different strategies to achieve.

Efficient activism will make you a target for law enforcement.

…And privacy – better known as OPSEC, in this context – is a big part of how you defend yourself.

In other words, privacy is important because all those “more important problems” are dependent on it!

Oh look, the next iteration of discrimination tactics.

(de-jure segregation →racist deed restrictions → redlining →real estate agent steering →this)

Did the guy explicitly say in his video that he intended these to be “open source?” 'Cause otherwise, as far as I can tell, there’s nothing that actually gives anybody else permission to copy, modify, and redistribute. In other words, they’re proprietary “freeware,” at best.

The blueprint title block needs to have a field that explicitly names the license (Creative Commons or whatever), because otherwise it’s © Design Residential, Inc. All Rights Reserved, by default.

…fuck those useless parents as well. They should not have had kids.

But that’s how the problem started in the first place!

My solution is to continue to only own old (mid-2000s or older) cars in perpetuity.

(And also use a bicycle instead for most trips.)

Don’t forget to think about how to keep the salt air from corroding the electronics. Either build a spare or two that you keep sealed in plastic, or find an airtight case with an integrated heat sink or something.

Edit: you might want to look into conformal coating and dielectric grease (for the connectors) as well, although I don’t know enough about that to competently give advice beyond the mere suggestion.

It used to be at least three felonies a day when violation of a website’s TOS was a violation of the CFAA (which can land you 25 years).

Did that stop being the case?

conspicuously on the same day as the Wikipedia Blackout protesting against SOPA / PIPA (PS: They’re still wanting to lock down the internet, which is why they want to kill Section 230).

Yeah, they’ve also tried to ram through ACTA, CISPA and the TPP since then.

Alternatively, for a shop to be economically viable in the middle of a swamp, it needs to be one of those tourist traps with kitschy signs all over the place for miles around.

If you’re gonna do that, you can’t just have it be a normal shop! There’s got to be consequences:

No, that’s a coop. A coup is what the employee who runs a roulette wheel does.

and keep your style of speech different than your “real” one

Good luck with that!

I kinda feel like you’d need to run your comments through a style transfer LLM in order to do that successfully and consistently.

Definitely not. Which country the activist is in is one difference, but what they’re an activist about is another. Here in the US, some activists get shot by police while other activists get police marching with them, for example.

*Sceptre, not spectre.

(I misspell it almost every time, too.)

When my parents got a new TV, I made sure they bought a Sceptre. So far it’s working fine.

So TL;DR, the XKCD method, but with six words instead of four and using a larger wordlist?
