“It’s not censorship, it’s counter-disinformation measures!! 1!”

FOSS Communities:

Many messengers did

Am I weird, or it doesn’t look bad?

Every state wants a monopoly on violence. The more powerful the state, the less there are entities that could opress you except the state itself. So it’s not unexpected that the cops would object to have a “competitor” with facial recognition technology

I’ve been doing this for a few years and eventually got tired of whitelisting websites. I’ve went as far as using NoScript for fine-grained control, but what’s the point? If you need a single feature JS, or a single article on a domain, you will let everything run if you grant the permissions, so why bother?

Better keep JS on and run an up-to-date browser with a custom DNS to filter out known malicious websites. Also, don’t visit random links, that’s an actually good advice.

You can do that, but Simplex has a limit on the amount of users in a group due to encryption. There is no point in using an e2ee messenger for public announcements

You need to trigger the initial fetch of your community first. You can do so by searching for it from the desired instance’s search bar as !yourcommunity@youtinstance. After a few minutes the posts from this newly federated community should appear in the instance’s feed.

Tf is LEA? I can’t find any relevant info on what this is.

How is IA profitable?

GPay doesn’t work on GrapheneOS IIRC.

Average looking house in Ukraine. Khrushchovka that itself doesn’t look too good is ruined by the fact that each flat was renovated with 0 attention to how the other ones look. There are usually some white walls, some gray, some are still orange form the bricks, some balconies have windows, some don’t.

😂😂 this is all very funny, bud, but if you make such assumptions without proofs you will quickly go insane.

Inel ME is ridiculously complex for the goal of collecting telemetry. Intel uses drivers for that purpose.

ME is likely used for security. Not yours, though:

1. Security of the company, for example, when someone decides to steal large amount of CPUs or something like that. We’ve seen something similar when a South African shop was robbed of Samsung TVs, which were remotely disabled.
2. National security. Obviously, should a great war break out that would directly confront NATO, the US would be quick to pressure Intel into remotely messing with enemy country’s computers.

Do you have proofs that Intel ME was actually used for tracking?

Will delete your account due to inactivity. Could ask for a phone number in some cases

Woah, easy, man, you’re asking for too much with such requirements

Note this is different than just downloading music from YouTube

No, it isn’t. Just remove the music. subdomain and download the music aa you wpuld normally from YouTube.

Dude, I live here, ofc I am. The Maidan merely helped a group of pro-Western oligarchy shift power on their side from the pro-Russian oligarchy. It didn’t solve corruption, it didn’t solve the problems, it didn’t help the economy etc.

Stealing food is on whole other level and ai’m not sure whether comparison Gaza to Ukraine is correct. I can only speak about my country, and the fact is the mass censorship and bullshittery were NOT caused by the external agressor and thus getting rid of them will NOT help the fundamental issues here.

We had that type of bullshitery here way long before the war started. Also, the invasion doesn’t stop the corrupt government from stealing millions of hryvnas.
