Estonia just sentenced a political activist to 14 years for treason for challenging the EU’s collective suicidal warmongering Russophobia propaganda. Political parties that are against NATO are being persecuted, and having election results overturned with a ban of the winners, even while “legitimate right wing parties” adopt racists laws that were part of the “illegitimate right wing party” platform.
If you have a view that your ruling establishment could have better policies, you are a threat to them. Because you have a good idea. Having nothing to hide means accepting the full supremacy of the establishment, which also means full acceptance of any corruption or mere unoptimalies. The US, with the highest pretenses of free speech, is openly targeting visas and citizens for sentiment against the new ultra fascist establishment.
You have everything to hide, if you’d like to do something right.
big deal, and fascism. NATO colonies copying the fascism is to be expected. Spirit of 2nd amendment is spirit of right to resist.
Patriot Act’s name is meant to distract from fascist powers within it, and while bitcoin is not super anonymous if you use techniques that are now recommended to “crackdown”, there is improvement.
Bitcoin’s superiority over gold is the ability to move to a more welcoming jurisdiction without border confiscation, or luggage weight, concerns, and so US/Colonies crackdown on “definancialization rights” may well lead to wealth drain from the empire.
I don’t think the hard part of linux is getting proprietary GPU drivers. They all have package managers that will grab them for you, after quick google search anyway. Mint will have the most specific google support for more esoteric problems/goals. Pika OS includes gpu driver bundles and is similarly debian based. But it wasn’t good at waking from sleep on my old hardware with 1650super. Too hard to fix.
The phone companies store content for FBI backdoors in plaintext on their servers. Compromising Apple/Google servers would require attacker to also know encryption backdoor. RCS (Diffie Helman key exchange) can fake end to end encryption through man in the middle (ISP/Google/Apple). Database access to the party would have everything needed for plaintext retrieval, because fake keys would need to be stored along with users.
it appears decision upheld the right to privacy, even though some, perhaps dissenting, judges and prosecutor made the headline’s argument.
