I grew up saying that abput my own generation, and my parents, and their parents…

More of a total goatse of a man, an impressive gaping emptiness that consumes and gets ass all over everything while making us all look at it.

Except the wedding ring. He’s too much of a pedophile to keep one of those.

Reposting something from r/Plex because the mods are bitch-babies with minimal changes:

If you pay money for something, you do not own it. It is not entirely yours.

You pay, that shit’s proprietary, you didnt make it, you can’t see the insides. Why would any self respecting sociopath give you something without including a backdoor, data logging/tracking, and a string to pull it back?

You steal something, or download more anonymously, it isn’t immediately connected to you, it may not have the backdoors activated, and you probably cut that string when you acquired it. You might even have to fuck around in the guts and modify shit so it can’t be remotely bricked tracked etc.

Applies to physical goods up to and including housing too. The state wants me out, I’m out. Can happen for a lot of reasons, and no amount of obedience or investment keeps you 100% safe. In a squat, ive already defended myself, proven their power, at least what they’re willing to exercise, cannot dislodge me. The place is truly mine.

You buy from the company store, you don’t own shit.

Ubi shit works better when you pirate. Dont pay for the trash versions.

Hey, uh, you got any crystal?"

Youre not going to improve security beyond the already plucked low hanging fruit except by developing usees into users.

It would be hard to be less secure than windows.

something is enough.

I hope.

Yes, confess all your crimes explicitly in text.

Nvidia contracts with palantir

No, a nice herbal garnish is pretty nice to have.

I think ‘writing stuff in a word processor’ is something every high school kid did, even if it’s generally web based nowadays.

In fact, everyone in this thread has done basically that.

Most Nazis are, yeah. That’s the radical part.

So, one of the very few things i have in common with my uncle’s shitty shitty sister:

We are very very white looking¹ and perceived as¹ cis. We have both been used to villify black men, because we ‘might be raped’. It’s all to protect us, you see.

We’ve also both been reasonably pretty by popular standards, and are very very tall. So we both have the experience of being used to demonize trans people and being accused of being trans and harassed on the way out of bathrooms that were securitized under a banner with our faces on it.

And you know, none of this makes either of us feel safe, and nobody seems to care all that much whether we do.

Almost like it was only ever a fucking excuse.

¹the part that actually matters here

Find a friend in a less shit place you can proxy through.

No thats what the mask is for.

Waiting to see who grapheneOS is working with next year and what models, then completely and finally degoogling my life.

Climate change is ruining your snow for #3 though.

Pretty sure that middle one isn’t gendered.

I think the sex workers they can afford from landlording are hotter than most scientists
