The UK looking at recording devices out in public and considering other people's privacy and consent?

Don't type your password where someone's smart device can hear it:

Canada's Liberal party, who are barely left of center. Just like the old fucks who refuse to leave the US Democratic party.

Just FYI for confused Americans (like myself).

You don't need a complex password; a long list of unrelated words is enough. Also use a strong key derivation method like argon2id. Look up "luks nixos"

switch to temple os

Encrypt your computer (which will make it harder for someone to get into it). Use more complex passwords (lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols). Use open-source software (or at least the ones that are fully offline / can turn off tracking). Using physical devices (not bluetooth) where possible (as someone could be nearby and see that you use that brand of mouse). Turn off microphone and camera when not using it (physical switch is better, if possible).

reminder not to take the bait of linking your phone at stores for 'benefits'

Indeed...

Because dictatorships hate them

Wtf??

There is a big push to create a federal enforcement agency around Frontex, following the DHS playbook. The centre right party's looking to the US and think we want that too. Frontex is already militarised in the Mediterranean and they are looking to expand they're powers within the EU Borders.

Interested in this article but there's a paywall so can't read more than a paragraph. Would appreciate non-paywalled links or at least something like this:
