Excuse me, Sen. Johnson, but when Liberals use the term "Domestic Terrorists" to describe ICE activities, we're *telling the truth.* It's MAGAts who're *lying* by calling *us* "domestic terrorists" just for *telling the truth.* Stop this "bad people on both sides" nonsense. Now *you're* lying. "WATCH LIVE: Minnesota officials, federal immigration leaders testify before Senate Homeland panel" https://www.youtube.com/live/paF5XJI5rho?si=p9fg6NaVP8wHYt4y

@RnDanger@infosec.exchange Privacy. I'm trying to seek refuge from the tech giants being used to create this Orwellian society. I want it on my PC, my phone, all the whatevers... I'm sick of the status quo. Anyway, I want complete privacy, including from bad actors who're tapping into the Linux market. I want everything to be able to run completely offline and anonymously, at the most basic, barebones level.

2/2

1. If you run a "take a number" style business, just happen to "close early" right before their numbers would come up. Have a "mandatory conference meeting" or a "birthday party" or some other innocuous thing that just has to be done "right now." Have it go on until well after the normal closing time.

@tacnextgen@universeodon.com @bebadefabo@mastodon.social This is why a third, liberal, highly popular alternative is necessary. Best to start working on that one now. Unseating a Dem shouldn't mean replacing with a Rep.

@ghostwriter@phpc.social Well, are they right? Vandelism is wrong at all times, not just when "the other guy" does it. Are the protesters being falsely accused? I'd like to know more about this.

Grrr! I forgot which Linux distro I was going to go with! I keep thinking I said Fedora, but I'm not sure. Does that one require a login? I want one that doesn't require that or have crazy TOS/Privacy Policy BS. Linux gurus, help?

@RnDanger@infosec.exchange See the 2 replies I just posted to the OP. There are tons of other ways to legally F with them :)

@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io I'm thinking they should be used as part of USA-based call center infrastructure, and we need to bring all our jobs back from India, Pakistan, and other non-US countries. Those were originally our jobs, and we need them back. Data centers are the bread and butter of call centers.

@ajaykaul10@vmst.io Just... Don't try to sell it yet, until it's at least reasonable. Too many newbs make that mistake and they get themselves bad reps as a result.

@ProPublica@newsie.social Let me guess... They got paid $50K each for this. SCABS.

@beserioususa.bsky.social Not that I agree with what any of the protesters did, because it technically wasn't legal (because that church was private property and they didn't have preemptive permission to do that), and I also don't think any of the congregants even knew what their "pastor" was up to, so holding *them* "accountable" didn't even make sense, but... Still agree with the meme! I'd take lemon over orange any day!

From the comments section:

End-to-end encryption and no biometrics. I mean, people are being treated like terrorists just for having a shred of legally acceptable empathy. That's not OK. "PSA: How FBI and DHS can access your phone or email account" https://youtube.com/shorts/hZtNjijS5bo?si=XXwvH1CasnIooDwe

If you get an email from "HSBC" claiming that a charge of x-dollars blah blah blah... Don't open it. Just report it as Phishing and Unsubscribe. You can check your banking records if you like, but you'll likely find that there are no transactions or pending transactions in that amount or related to them. The scammers are posing as "HSBC" and are trying to get you to open their malware-payloaded email. Don't open it.

@punissuer@universeodon.com The problem is Palentire. They don't need to know if/when anyone's using Signal at all. Anyway, we need a better version and it needs to be Fediverse.

Welp, I gave up, factory reset the old Android, and it went just fine. It didn't need my old Google password or anything. Just what's current.

• Refused all the "let us customize" garbage
• Set up a new password I actually know
• Deleted the Ad ID
• Am doing an update for laughs
• Will set up the Dev options next
• Will work on upgrading to some other OS, because this Google Big Brother nonsense is BS.

From there? Who knows?! It's the "wild west," I tell ya!

@RnDanger@infosec.exchange Thanks for letting me know! I did a bit more searching around. Learned about postmarketOS. It won't work on my particular phone, but it looks like that's what I would want for my phone. Not sure what else is out there that's similar and would work for my phone. As for my PC, I'm 90% sure it was Debian I had said I wanted to switch to. I love tech stuff, but am very new to Linux things, so I doubt it was Fedora. I've used Mint in the past. I think that was the one where I got lost in all the packages and updates and whatever. I eventually wound up rooting the laptop I was working on at the time, then borked it. I need an app store with apps that come as complete applications on their own, and don't have a billion dependencies on dependencies. I'm not sure if Debian's app store is like that or not, though I think I did try it out once on a VM, and didn't have that problem with it.

1/2 More things you can do:

1. If you own a gas station, flip whatever switch you have, to shut down all your pumps, whenever they come looking for gas (if they do procure vehicles).

2. If you're in any other business or service position, you can all the sudden be "busy" or "all booked up" or whatever. They're ordering food? Oh darn! It's all gone! They show up at bus stops? Oops, too many passengers on your bus already! That sort of thing.

3. If you clean in their hotel, you can put "Out of order" signs on their bathrooms.

4. If you run a business with restrooms for the customers, put up "Restrooms for paying customers only" on your door, then charge them $100 each for a "bathroom pass" if they come inside to "become paying customers."

5. You can have a "Strict No Weapons" policy posted to your business door.

6. If you're a cop, you can pull them over for their mountains of moving and parking violations (again, if they get transportation at all).

7. Everyone in town can fill up all the available parking spaces. The city can issue special stickers and cards to anyone but ICE. The stickers can go inside the windows, the cards can go in wallets. These give everyone in town permission to park in any space they like, for as long as they like, free of charge. Filling up the spaces makes it highly improbable that ICE can do *rump's dirty work for him!

8. Drive in slow, long-vehicle-line circles around blocks that have gas stations that aren't refusing to serve ICE. Keep the entrances blocked by cars driving by, perpetually.

9. Hold a fake "union strike" (with the support of the businesses involved) in front of the businesses frequented by ICE. Have the "workers" in long "loop" lines that go perpetually along in front of the entrances, and only allow non-ICE people to go into those businesses.

I need to see the research she's talking about. That said, at least on paper, this makes sense. Especially if you're a white, straight-cis, burly male over the age of 21 and look like you just came from a hunting trip.

@faraiwe@mstdn.social Well, unless you're the Adams Family!

We need an end-to-end encrypted communications ecosystem that allows landline users to punch in a code on their phone pads to accept encrypted calls, provides real phone numbers and email addresses, as well as texting... Signal + ProtonMail, for example. Only Fediverse style. I dunno what I'm talking about here, lol! I just know I'm not OK with being asked for my phone number if I sign up for Signal, because none of that's encrypted. If Signal would verify using encrypted email instead, then that would really help. Not sure how that would work, but it would really help.

We need some lawful, non-violent ways to punish right-wing extremists for treating the rest of us like sh*t. I'm open to suggestions.

@book@beige.party 😅

@JulianOliver@mastodon.social $8 to $40 payout, for what? To submit recordings for verification?! Ugh. I'm just working on getting away from Google altogether. Time well spent, I think.

@tacnextgen@universeodon.com @bebadefabo@mastodon.social Not "third party." No. A Dem contender who's both liberal and highly popular.

@cbarbermd@med-mastodon.com I'm pretty sure the DailyMail is just a cheezy tabloid.

@dave@europhiles.uk Make a phone app that does give users real phone numbers but doesn't require users to register with a phone number, make it end-to-end encrypted, make it FOSS, include end-to-end encrypted email and file sharing options, and make it available on all OS's (for all devices and PCs). Make it seamless between OSs. Make it have it's own VPN for added security (and don't charge for using the VPN's features). Make it Fediverse. Rock the world with actual privacy!
