Its like sitting near a window basically, people on the sidewalk are gonna have trouble seeing you with just their eyes (i mean like most sidewalks are quite far away to the window because of front yards) but anyone could get a camera with zoom lens and see your face.
I think I found the best condolences to the CEO's family: "What a tragedy! If only we could've kept him secured in a government facility 24/7 forever, he would've lived!" (aka: life in prison 😉)
"Nazi death chamber?"
Okay I'm sure there have been innocents on death row but like 90% of those convicted arent good people
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_death_row_inmates_in_the_United_States#Federal
A white supremacist that shoots up a church to murder 9 black people. I mean no chance this guy was innocent.
Another guy on the list is an antisemetic guy that shot up a synagogue to target Jewish people.
Although I'm not exactly comfortable with the state having a "license to kill", I dont think it's exactly correct to say that death row is a "Nazi death chamber". There's nuance to this.
this is something that I'm too Gen Z to understand?
(Oh thanks for the daily reminder of my youth, I guess... xD)
Lol, I mean banks already require KYC and have your real identity on record so you could just use it on your phone running the official corporate-built mobile os, I mean my point is, you aren't even supposed to use VPN for online banking cuz they'll just flag your connection, that connection is supposed to look as "normie" as possible (hence why it kinda breaks with graphene os). I'm talking about activities that you were previously using GrapheneOS/Custom ROMs for, like the stuff you want privacy for.
(slightly off on a tagent but relevent)
i mean at this point, i feel like phones are just hostile, and computers are the last bastion of freedom in the digital world. run linux, connect to phone hotspot then you are free to use whatever encrypted programs you want, bypassing "client side scanning" or whatever bullshit they want to implement. like... from how i see it, google will eventually kill the bootloader unlock from pixels, and the vast majority of phones, even if bootloader unlockable, does not have relocking with custom keys and also lineage is kinda insecure (at least thats that seems to be the internet consensus), even if it might be more private.
Phone should just be a "modem/router" thing, your gateway to the internet, the actual stuff should just be done on a portable computer. Australia already started a whitelisting thing for phone, its only a matter of time.
Living in USA, felt kinda like... "oh interesting, I guess we're not so doomed yet" for 5 seconds due to recent events (news I saw on the morning of the 4th), then just as quickly, my personal life's depressiveness come into mind again so yeah... a positive societal atmosphere still doesnt fix personal issues.
Bruh I was gone for a few days, log on, saw that post, then gone for 2 more days, log on, holy shit this again...
🤣
Update:
My mom and older brother reentered the US with no issues
They didnt even check passport, its just all facial recognition now.
What country tho.
1945 for an ethnic Chinese in America is not exactly fun... racism and all
1945 in China is um... yea I'm gonna get gulag'ed/laogai'ed
Holy shit I took a break from Lemmy/Piefed for a few days and you're still obsessed about this?
