This is the last chance for the world-at-large to stop this. murica LLC is cooked.

They DID put that roadblock in place. That's kinda my point. You have to loosen a VPN's security to post here (as I've had to do to reply). It says "no posting from VPN" in the lower left if one uses more advanced/secure encryption. They also don't allow account creation from masked email platforms like fastmail.

Sounds like the indian guy driving it with a joystick was a bit hungover. You'd think they'd screen that thing at the entrance of the cubicle farm where all these AI folk drive these from. AI is just "anonymous indians" for elmo's grifting kind.

Lol... work brain seeped through. Pump those numbers up!

Deanonymized isn't a risk with end-to-end FOSS-governed encryption (as compared to Meta's mysterious backend that manages keypairs for whatsapp and messenger). Sealed Sender can even obfuscate the metadata of the recipient for further snooping hurdles. Nothing is perfect, and any participant can silently ex-filtrate conversation data with another camera.

Thanks, appreciated. I installed Nord on my linux box as well, then set that to openvpn technology and obfuscated servers which worked. I'd prefer to use their quantum-proof encryption but there's no way to bypass VPN checks if one sets that. I think it's a mistake on lemmy's part to even put that hurdle up, but it is what it is. Having one's real world identity tied to social media is a risk going forward. Data is the enemy.

Fellow muricans; stay out of metropolitan areas on July 4th. My guess is that we're going to see the inevitable marriage of military and local law enforcement using the "iranian sleeper sell agents biden let loose in our country" angle instead. Faux news frontpage is laying the groundwork as of yesterday.

The irony of you posting this on lemmy, which won't allow posting from a VPN or masked email addresses is not lost on me.

The amount of hoops I had to jump through to make this comment and maintain some semblance of privacy is infuriating but at least it's not reddit I guess?

But do go on about your security standards...

Edit: BTW, you can set signal to hide your number completely. Combined with FOSS-based encryption keys on-device makes signal the only choice for trying to maintain freedom of expression globally.

Nothing will protect anyone from messaging with a snitch who knows how to screenshot though. Food for thought.. get to know your neighbors now.

On one hand, there's an implied admission of boundaries in denying mass raids.

On the other hand, past tactics would imply that the only concern is overcoming the boundary, not submitting to it.

They're regrouping. They know the collective lack of attention span is an asset they can leverage.

and #4: we dont believe if we take a bold step forward that our neighbors will show solidarity and endurance, which then puts us at risk of prosecution. A lot of us have kids to protect.

Dig deeper. This is Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin. Pootin is an accidental beneficiary.
