The solution to school shootings is not to focus on dodgeball.
This is a comment about phone privacy.
Think of it as a game, the players are corpo, and gov.
Corpo hacks planet, gov says, "Hm, that's pretty bad corpo, we could hold you accountable.. but.. that's pretty neat, maybe share a lil with us how you achieved this terrible incident (that we totally don't want to leverage against international peers) and we can forget this happened.."
A game of incentives.
If the gov comes down too hard, they could slow the development, the same development that they short-sightedly want to exploit in parallel with the accused.
A donut is just a hole with a circle drawn around it.
Exactly, that's why I choose it on all of my mobile systems. It also survives power outages which is important in storm-prone geographies.
SWAP avenger here. And they said SWAP partitions were old hat.. Pah!
I have an Acer Swift 3:2 running Manjaro with a swap partition encrypted with LUKS2. I recently got a new laptop so poor old Swifty been languishing in a messenger bag.
The important distinction here being that my lid is tied to hibernate, not sleep, because fuck sleep mode.. why do I want my laptop in "low power mode"? So I can charge it as soon as I open it? No thanks!
Three months pass. Crap can't seem to connect to my VNC over SSH, hmm, what to do.. I wonder if my Acer can connect?
Pull old Swifty out of the bag, open it up, enter decryption key, it's on in moments, 95% battery.
Skill issue? (I'm joking, or am I?) 🐸
But that would require us to so something about it. Icky! I hate doing things!
Second point, what if we make the world a better place for no reason. You'll really have egg on your face then.
How does it feel to be outsmarted. (very smug look)
I mean, what he exposed came with proof. There is no believe or disbelieve. It's not religion, there is no faith. He made an assertion and proved it with evidence.
If you think that the government doesn't need to follow the laws and that they are immune, then yes I can see why what he did would seem negative.
But if you believe the government should also follow its own laws, I have difficulty understanding your objection.
The information is the information, focus on the man is only a distraction.
A cat leaked it. A dinosaur leaked it. Hitler was resurrected and leaked it while riding a flying pig. Snowden leaked it and fled to Russia.
It makes no difference, the information is the information regardless of the catalyst.
Before Snowden, the US government was thought to obey its own laws, though obviously not always (for better or worse). After Snowden, we finally had confirmation that violations are commonplace and intentionally hidden.
Hey bro, you got it wrong. You need to censor people who want what you want in a different way. That will make them want to help you achieve your goal.
Does that not make sense to you? Don't think about it too much. If you don't think about it at all, and ban thought from your mind, you can join the mod team here, sign up today!

Addressing your verbosity complaint:
Spend time learning to read the lowest level documentation possible.
It's dense and terse, which makes it difficult to read. But the knowledge per word is the value.
For example, you were mentioning relying on tools to build your environment and manage your installation. Don't. Learn how venv and pip work. Learn at the lowest level. Build up. Stop learning from the top and building down. Save that for when a project demands it.
Understand "why", not "how", and then you can evaluate whether a guide is wasting your time.
