I want a linux phone! I heard Cape phones will be a thing for the general public in 2026. They said that they and the provider are very privacy focused. I pray they are being truthful.

How about they drop the entire thing and keep it as it was and is?

Yes, and the Canadian acts that passed around the same time… and the newer Canadian bills passed and being proposed that are basically even more hardcore than the patriot act, except WITHOUT the threat of any terrorists. Canada right now is like ‘we never needed these laws, but just WANT them anyway’.

I propose this law:

Ban politicians from trying to do this shit AND strengthen privacy laws and throttle data collection. Allow anonymous SIMs and phone calling. You might ask 'but what about drug dealers and terrorists?" Trust me, they’ve been able to handle them before without any of these bullshit laws, AND if they have a REASON to suspect those individuals then due process can be applied, warrants, and shit like that. But for the average person, no.

The Patriot act and many of the anti-terror laws passed in wake of 9/11 need to be gotten rid of, they have had no discernible good effect. I have to repeat myself… the fact that 9/11 wasn’t foiled was due to a MONUMENTAL intelligence failure. They had warnings, tips, intelligence, everything they needed to stop the ploy, but they just sat on their asses and did nothing. The whole ‘we need laws to help prevention, to be proactive and not reactive’… dude, intelligence agencies foiled plots before any of these laws were passed, and they CAN be proactive if they want. Conspiracy to commit a crime IS a crime, and that included hijacking airplanes to use as weapons.

I remember when China was the boogie man of surveillance until the rest went ‘hold my beer’. What the fuck is going on?

I know the F C and K, but what are the others?

Promoted more likely.

You know what happens to cops who shoot blacks multiple times without justification? Most of the time it isnt swept under the rug. It is actually rewarded behavior. They get promoted down the line and often end up better off than their less violent colleagues.

His neighborhood was an upper-middle class family who were fucking loaded. Cops kiss up to the wealthy.

No, he could not call the police. A tree fell on his phone line and disconnected his house.

And his parents did notify the police, but the police were, A: completely incredulous, B: completely incompetent and uninterested. They came and knocked on the door, but Kevin was still scared and confused and was hiding under his parents bed the whole time. The cop just gave up and left.

I vent my frustration at cameras when I play the Hitman games. Even when I destroy the footage and shut down all surveillance (god i wish it was as simple as typing a few buttons or shooting a single bullet into a computer.) I still destroy cameras either by shooting them or (more viscerally) throwing something at them.

He paid 44 billion for Twitter and it took him a few days to raise that much money. He could have been the man to write the cheque to end world hunger and be honored by millions for generations to come (despite all his other bullshit), but he chose not to.

The world starves not because we cannot feed the hungry, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

He once said that if there was a concrete plan to solve world hunger he would do it. Then a representative of an actual plan to solve world hunger showed up on his Twitter feed and provided him with information and he was like ‘nah’.

And the plan would only cost a small amount of his fortune. He bought Twitter for much, much more.

Same thing. I want a phone that can install grapheneOS.

With deep faking and AI anyone can make pedo videos with anyone in them.

There will be workarounds. They are fucking stupid.

I got newpipe and pipepipe for my phone and freetube for my desktop/laptop.

I curse myself for not downloading them… but there was so so so so so so so so goddamn much…

People say that the internet never forgets… but they didnt take into account the centralization of the internet and the control they have over the content.

It might be crazy to think this… but imagine in a few years all videos and posts and articles on various sites documenting the genocide were fully purged. Leaving only people’s frail memory of events. Even the IDF and Israeli civilians incredibly incriminating videos would be removed, and anyone caught with an archive on a personal device could be criminally charged or have it taken from them for destruction.

Basically this shit is beyond 1984. And I don’t use 1984 that often as a metaphor.

That is such a slow and painful and unsure way to commit suicide though…

Well I did! But I didnt wrestle the raccoon, I helped him get some more from a greedy cigar smoking capitalist aardvark, then we danced to this all night.

Of course when I woke up there was just a bunch of dead raccoons around me and I was wearing a shirt that said ‘nyuk nyuk nyuk’ with the three stooges… something tells me I might have already been high the whole time!
