I wonder what would happen if people started mass posting the key like they did with the DVD DRM keys back in the day, though I’m sure the industry would be much more aggro these days

wait Fedora has AI bullshit in it? that’s a shame, Fedora is on my second laptop :(

+1 for Debian here, I use it with Gnome and I’m pleased as punch with the stability and the way it stays out of my way when I need to get things done

aw mannnn :(

FOR REAL??

some computer shops have scrap computers with 8GB of RAM 💀

so, honestly i’m a bit lucky because i’m the family and friends tech person, so i really pushed them to get on Signal if they want to reach me reliably because it’s so much safer, and they trust me. I’ve given them practical demonstrations of end to end encryption, I also just kinda hold them hostage by only making myself super available on Signal. Also worth mention is that lots of my friends are queer or at risk in some way or another so they have lots of motivation to stay safe. I still do have to use RCS sometimes to get in touch with some family but that’s better than SMS which I avoid like the plague. that’s pretty much it

it’s been so so nice having most of my friends and family (that want to talk to me) on Signal. it’s so unobtrusive and chill not to mention the peace of mind

Cory Doctorow being based and real once again

bunch of friends and I just stood up a matrix room on a friend’s server and moved over there. fuck discord

I’m using Niagara in the free tier and I’m very happy with it. it’s snappy and good looking and I spend so little time hunting through my apps for the ones I need thanks to the favorites section on the home screen. good stuff

oooh i love this! thank you! FOSS cooking is indeed based af

gasp you mean to tell me you DON’T like 20 million videos playing over the top of the recipe that you’re trying to read while trying not to burn dinner? unbelievable.

smh these motherfuckers are so brazen

which is ironic considering Meshtastic is better than this shit tbh. VC just hard forked it and set it down the great path to enshittification

I am aware that it’s wishful thinking. I feel the same way you do, but even an arrest is better than nothing. it will take protests, it will take oversight and everything that comes along with it to fix this, absolutely

so when the fuck do we stop accusing and start charging and arresting? I’m so sick of these headlines saying that “people are saying Trump bad! no way :3” like…what are we DOING about it though??

they don’t give a fuck about the law or the legality of whatever they get up to, we know that and they most definitely know that.

same holy fuck I’d do that in a flash. what a steal

in memory of this, I’m starting another Tor relay! :)

I’ve used QubesOS, Tails and Tor all extensively and they are all incredible. based on what I’ve seen, it’s best not to use Tor on its own unless you’re entirely sure of how you plan to use it - reason being that misconfiguring it can deanonymize you, so it’s best to stick with Tails for sensitive Tor activities and the Tor Browser for less sensitive stuff - Tails forces the whole system to interface with the internet via the Tor network so you don’t leak network traffic onto the clearnet when you’re doing silly business.

also a little shout out to Orbot which is a Tor router app for Android that will allow you to connect your whole phone over the Tor network (or just a single app). This is huge especially if you’re being censored in another country and want to use Signal or another app that doesn’t support Tor already.

happy routing :D
