Gog.com is always worth a look. I found a functional copy of Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri there.

It’s nice over here, it’s not the same 15 questions across subs every 3 days. It’s not the same recycled stories ad nauseam. And, there’s more Gowron.

In addition to all the GrapheneOS recommendations, there are also faraday bags. Drop the phone in while at home or wherever.

Final Fantasy. Flowing dramatic artwork. 18 pixels of character (hyperbole, idk the actual pixel number.)

GrapheneOS. Faraday bags. Depends on you and how far you want to take it. And how much you like and rely on dynamic maps.

It’s cool when these companies get subpoenaed. Then we all know exactly what data they keep.

Proton had a recent subpeona they had to honor. All the data they had was yes, the dude has an email here. But no content. Granted, if you’re exchanging with a gmail account, it’s moot, for those exchanges anyway.

This is really simple. Use Signal or WIRE. Proton or maybe Tutanota for email.

Avoid garbage like Telegram and FB Messenger. Discord as well.

WIRE or Signal. Granted, convincing your people to move with you is like trying to get an act of Congress in play.

It’s kinda like this. Say you lead the most boring, law abiding, square life, top 20% of the bell curve in that zone.

Would you want strangers in your house, even if they couldn’t technically touch or take anything? Would you want them in your spouse’s closet? Your kid’s room? Looking in your fridge?

Creepy and “hell no”, right?

That’s what privacy is about. The right to lock your door against strangers snooping.

Just link off of the megathread if you have issues. As usual, subtitles are borked, but that’s it working as it usually does.

People are already annoyed at base that they need any 2FA at all and don’t want to deal with more info. They just tune out.

I’m not in IT but I followed the Michael Bazzell podcast until he disappeared. Guy was a bit paranoid but there was great info there. My understanding was browser saving passwords isn’t secure, that those passwords are open to scraping from bad players. Ofc I can’t reference this because the entire body of over 300 podcasts disappeared with him.

Agree on Bitwarden and such.

We did get 7 computers back by 1am last night just by constantly rebooting.

That said, 40 out of 47 never came back. So clearly something more is needed.

No, it’s military fodder. Poor people, After all make up most enlisted. Workforce fodder. And people with kids to focus on don’t have time or inclination to riot, protest, punch up, form unions, or go on strike. Children will always be the bigger concern.

That it intersects with the evangelical vote is happy coincidence.

What most of these ignorant politicos and evangelicals don’t get about late term abortions is it’s stillbirth removal.

And, abortion is a medical procedure where the nomenclature doesn’t care about context. The medical chart says abortion for chosen termination, expedited miscarriage (to avoid bleeding out & pain), stillbirth removal, etc. I do not know if that nomenclature holds for “pruning” implanted fetuses in the IVF process.

Tangentially, enough politicians and Barrett herself have groused about “domestic supply of infants”, birth rates, and such that IVF will never suffer the same fate as abortion access, no matter what evangelicals feel on the topic. How the evangelicals feel was never the primary point.

Did the study mention how much mother mortality AND overall hospital stays for both mother and child increased as a result?
