I haven't been around these communities in a while, so I can't really speak for /c/privacy as much as /r/privacy and other communities, but I've noticed far far far far too many posts which are blindly perfectionist, with no consideration of threat capabilities or their motivations. Privacy is futile without a realistic threat model, that's how you get burned out solving non-problems and neglecting actual problems.

My threat model is largely just minimizing surveillance capitalism and avoiding basement-dweller neo-nazi stalkers from connecting any dots between my online personas and real life identity. Even for that, my measures are a bit excessive, but not to the point where I'm wasting much time or effort.

Daily reminder: "more private" and "more secure" are red flags. If you see or say these, without a very specific context, it's the wrong attitude towards privacy and security. They're not linear scales, they're complex concepts. That's why Tor Browser is excellent for my anonymity situation but atrociously insecure to anyone who is being personally targeted by malware (tl;dr monoculture ESR Firefox^[1]^). That's why Graphene is not automatically anti-privacy simply because it runs on a Google Pixel and Android-based OS. (Google is one of my main adversaries.) And I think this simplistic 'broscience' style of "[x] is better than [y], [z] is bad" discourse is harmful and leads people into ineffective approaches.

I’ve never heard of a republican being called a liberal though.

US casual political rhetoric is all kinds of screwed. In political science terms, plenty of Republicans are conservative liberals, Libertarians are essentially classical liberals, and the people you're used to calling liberals are social liberals, aka progressive liberals. The USA is [still...] a liberal democracy, one of the many types of democracy.

Tor Browser (daily driver) because I really hate surveillance capitalism. I have fallbacks but rarely need them. Can recc LibreWolf and Ungoogled Chromium.

Wish my local train union were as militant.

We need more US-Russia/China ally propaganda, just to fuck with people

Great feature! One of my concerns when I dipped my toes into ComfyUI was that I struggled to find ways of avoiding spaghetti layouts. Tools like this to neaten and abstract the workflow can do wonders (although I hope it's done in a smart, clear way that doesn't confuse newcomers by hiding the important parts from them)

At least one US fash has already, Chadwick Seagraves. The rest might need a little encouragement.

This is what democracy looks like, and it should be respected.

Why should it be respected? Should we respect it any more than the US democracy which elected a thug? A system isn't automatically respectable just because it's one type of democracy.

I can see some unofficial XFCE guides for getting .webp thumbnails working, but I haven't seen a Mint one so use them at your own risk. (Works by default in Cinnamon)

While not always relevant, drag and drop sometimes works for certain apps. I find it useful sometimes.
