Bottom Right sees freedom as not being told by other rulers what to do. Your own rulers get to tell you what to do obviously.

I take issue with the statement "passwords are protected by the fifth amendment".

SCOTUS is not guaranteed to affirm that above statement.

Your complaints should be in the donation message.

SCOTUS has not yet decided that a password in your brain is protected by the fifth.

Your phone is protected by the fifth.

Until SCOTUS decides that passwords are protected by the fifth, you can be held in contempt of court by a judge indefinitely because you forgot the password (theoretical scenario, has not yet happened).

The right to not surrender a pass code has actually not yet been decided. We already have differences between regions.

I haven't heard the alternative candidates talk about how they'll fight for our privacy.

That's just giving up your rights from the get go. They can get a warrant to compel the fingerprint.

In this computer age, warrant requests are a button press to send a docusign e-mail to a judge, who can click the sign button while he sips his cappuccino. Make them work for it.

Does nobody use the god given Repository of all human knowledge?

There are privacy issues that still have not been addressed as of 2023:

Hi Anth0rx, yes — I’ve looked into all of them. Here are some hot-takes:

Loginet is just a front for a cryptocurrency. It’s decentralized but not distributed. It’s primary purpose is to selling you hot air, though.

I2P can only talk to other I2P users. There are far from enough users on it to reliably use it for P2P. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, it just never reached critical mass. The set-up process is probably too complicated for most potential users.

GNUnet has been “fixing the internet” for literally two decades. They‘ve yet to deliver anything. The software download pages clearly warns that it’s still “not yet ready”. It’s an interesting project, but it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.

The project change log does not indicate any work on any of the things discussed in this article. I might revisit this after the next beta release.

TLDR: Censorship resistant doesn't mean anything if they can find you and nail you to a cross

For iphone brothers and sisters (courtsey of rpcameron)

You must be using an Android device. On the iPhone, 5 quick presses of the side/power button (or long-pressing power+volume) will bring up the Power Off/SOS menu; any future attempt to unlock will require the passcode. (Either action can be down without any screen interaction, meaning that you can enable this feature silently as soon as you feel it necessary.)

(Also to note for iPhones: if you choose a 7 digit or longer passcode, the entry field does not indicate how long the passcode is; the same is true if you choose an alphanumeric passcode.)

(Extra safety for those in the US if you are in a car, after doing the above stash your phone in the console/glove box; if it is within a sealed compartment not on your person additional cause/warrant is required to gain access to the device.)

I get that it can be several megabytes in size. But in this day and age it's like pulling a key flavor from the dish.

The part of the story I hate the most:

Asked about experts’ arguments that Microsoft’s strategy of profiting off of cybersecurity is incompatible with a security-first mindset, Faehl says, “We would disagree with that characterization.”

Let the free market run its course and let pirate sites compete with streaming services to improve their services.

The only way they can loose that race is tying themselves to an anvil and taking a shotgun to both kneecaps, and it would still be close.

Non Sanctified streaming sites can't load balance automatically, customers have to manually switch between different video sources. 4K isn't even an option. So many many ads. And adblockers on mobile aren't as good. Downloading for offline viewing is a joke. Captions sometimes completely broken, and only a few languages. What's audio description?

Netflix so freaked out that people will just download a copy of the whole thing. But it's happening already, and most people cannot afford to have 4k copies of the office filling up their only harddrive. Datahoarders are a tiny tiny minority.

Anybody remember when the fucking optical disks were locked to certain regions?

A timeless message

They didn't even hear why this failed the first time.

Jesse, WTF are you talking about

I've never heard the phrase Catholic and Christians before. Catholic vs Protestant maybe.

It's all food for the mind. And The Jesus had some very compelling views on the morality of copy/pasting food until everybody was fed. CC0
