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.

    "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.

    So killing is not okay except when its internet-approved vigilantism?

    Example: "Polititian commutes death sentences" Lemmy be like "good", but then when "Politician condemns assassination" Lemmy have a problem with condeming political violence?

    (Like Gavin Newsom commutes all death row immates in California vs when Democratic polititians condemned Luigi Mangione)

    Or are these different groups of Lemmings?

    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.

    I know someone is gonna be like: You can't build a nuke with only the information, the hard part is getting the [uranium/plutonium (or whatever its calledl]!

    Thought Experiment:

    Suppose in the future, humans all have an innate ability to summon nuclear bombs by doing a ritual, should instructions on how to do this ritual be legal to disseminate?

    Or would you censor it for the safety of everyone? I mean, imagine everyone having a nuke that they can just summon... 👀

    So... what say you, fellow fediverse user?

    Should this hypothetical "summon-a-nuke" ritual be legal to teach people?

     

    Funny how my brain suddenly fears death, when I've been feeling kinda suicidal... but all the sudden, now my brain has decreed: "wait, fuck, actually death is bad, dont wanna die yet... aaaahhhh"

    Can you imagine the horrors of SURVIVING an apocalypse... then you have no internet anymore cuz.. um... you know... everyone is very DEAD.

    I have a drug addiction... addicted to DOPAMINE...

    My Photosynthesis¹ is turning Internet-Rays into the rare and legendary DOPAMINE

    (¹Internet Light-Ray Photosynthesis --> Interaysynthesis?)

    Like can you imagine doing things like gasps read books? ...as entertainment in an apocalypse? Books? Stare at dead trees? The fuck?

    (Speaking of books... I feel like physical books transmit too much viruses... DRM-Free Ebooks FTW!... I mean woukd you even touch a book smeared with zombie blood/puke? ewww.... sorry my germophobia is kicking in again)

     

    01:15 (AM that is, but using 24 hour time format doesn't need AM/PM) here... zero sleep, listening to a bunch of depression music... :/

    Living with family (family of origin, that is) but half of my family members are away... especialy mom...

    You only learn to appreciate someone¹ once they're gone... this time for 30 days... one day its gonna be forever... 🥺 (¹mom that is, Idk how to feel about older brother, still haven't fixed the broken relationship since those series of fights about 7-9 years ago... )

    Mom's so busy with my brother's marriage plans, haven't have much time to talk to me. Idk what to even say on the phone... I just wanna hear her voice... I kinda have a panic attach if i don't hear her voice or if she takes too long to respond...

    I'm just feeling very suicidal rn
