ICE is under Homeland Security. Besides, being new doesn’t really make them not the Gestapo. The Gestapo was new at one point as well after all.

It was bad in 2004 too, people just didn’t realize that ICE was the Gestapo back then.

The mask is off. That’s all.

But, yeah, most people just do not care if they are spied on because they don’t think it will be used for anything besides advertising. Trump is going to wake a lot of people up to the immense power we’ve handed over to our tech overlords.

Well the US should stop underdeveloping other countries if they didn’t want people to flee those countries.

Also, eight hours is a modern invention! Throughout most of human history we slept several times a day, rather than just once.

I’m really liking siestas these days and can’t go back to a single eight hour block.

No, courts are just naturally occuring phenomenon, like the weather or the tides 😌

you can enforce your data rights in rule of law countries

😂

China is not illegally busting down US residents’ doors and killing them lol

Okay but now we aren’t really talking about privacy anymore, are we? We’re talking about the monopolization of social media by a few corporations as we’re siloed into platforms. Bad, for sure, but a different problem.

The election interference is coming from inside the house and privacy is only tangentially related to a larger problem.

I’ll continue to be more worried that my DMs will be used to put me in prison.

Okay, but they can’t literally bust down my door and kill me.

Well, only one of those governments can actually do anything to me. Hint: it’s the one I live under

Monopolies are not going to be broken up. Get real.

I bet they did the math

Did they? Because it seems like everyone else is in a hype bubble and doesn’t give a shit about how much this costs or how much money it makes.

It wasn’t that long before you were born that the Black Panthers marched in the streets with guns to confront murderous cops.

Things look bad because people here have had it too good for too long. We won the Cold War, it was the end of history!

But the good times are coming to an end and America’s chickens are coming home to roost.

I wonder how many police stations will burn this time.

Do you think average people want that shit?

Do you think that the police need a pretext to become violent?

I’m skeptical of all “outside agitator” narratives that seek to frame uprisings as illegitimate. The fact is, even if he encouraged other people to take direct action, the uprisings were the result of people choosing to take matters into their own hands after that. He didn’t start those fires.

I don’t condone individualistic violence! It doesn’t help and just creates chaos. We should be organized and disciplined, not burning random shit down.

But let’s not pretend the uprising was fake. The purpose of blaming him for all the other protesters taking their own direct action is so people like you are reassured that good USAmericans will never do anything drastic. That’s the actual function of this article.

Things can only get so bad before we hit a breaking point. It will come. Have some revolutionary optimism.

USAmericans burned down a police station last time Trump was president. People got pretty close last time.

Every new little shitty thing only makes it inevitable.

Taking away people’s porn does, in fact, mean taking away some of those creature comforts.

And a lot of people are already pretty uncomfortable.

They’re going to overreach so hard during this Presidential term, holy shit. There’s also many unpopular things they’ve wanted to do for so long and now is their chance.

I wonder what the breaking point will be.

Yup, nothing political about workers being worn out after the work week.

These pattern recognition bots just allow the justice system to be stupid faster.

Can’t wait for a hallucinating AI to report me for assault because I hugged someone in public.

No one who qualifies to work for Evil Corp is going to fucking starve on the street if they decide to look for work elsewhere instead.

All CEOs should be arrested actually.

And then Google, Twitter, and Meta stopped violating privacy.

… right?

Yeah I’ve gone 100% audio only through podcasts, broadcasts, and audiobooks. Video just is not ready for decentralization.

Not exactly, they can mind control you into being happy your boss steals your wages tho

I’ll bite.

No, they won’t literally read brain waves to find out your secrets. Instead maybe they’ll have an AI model trained on data from your life and then use it to simulate the things you might be thinking.

Sure, that’ll lead to false convictions, but they don’t give a shit lol

Looks like I’m testing not using YouTube.

A more compact space isn’t better, though, unless you’re dealing with a character limit. The longer the pass phrase the stronger it is, and you can memorize some seriously long phrases.

What you failed to demonstrate is that passwords are better than pass phrases, and that’s my point. In order to crack my pass phrase you have to have tons of additional information like the fact that I use a pass phrase, what the rules are for the words in my pass phrase, the list of words I draw from for my pass phrase, etc. Your suppositions are required to beat it.

Suppose you had a word list of 1,000 five letter words. Each of your passphrases is 5 words long. That means you have 1,000^5 possible combinations of passwords, which is an entropy of ~49.8 bits. Even though each passphrase is going to be 29 characters long (5 five letter words plus 4 spaces in between), the password wasn’t generated character by character.

That’s a lot of supposition.

The reality is the password guesser has a string of 29 characters. All they know is ***************************** - they do not know they are guessing individual words separated by spaces, and even if they know these are words they do not know what word list is being used so they have every word that has ever existed as part of a possible list, they do not know the length of any of the individual words being used, and to top it all off they do not even know if the words have conventional spellings or are English words or anything!

So actually, you have a string of 29 characters, and they might as well be random characters as far as a password guesser can guess.

Although I will grant that pass phrases are unlikely to use unconventional characters !$#@;<> etc so you have a point there.

A password “8pmfvt3bww7t” could be remembered as “8 pandas might find vases that 3 bears will wash 7 times.

You’re going to have to explain to me why the first password is more secure than the second pass phrase. The second has more characters and that’s the only thing someone trying to guess is going to possibly know. There’s nothing else to go off of, they don’t even know they’re trying to guess words in the first place. The longer string is always more secure afaik

I think a pass phrase is more secure than a password because you can memorize truly huge strings without worrying about ever losing it.

And yet when Huawei was flush with cash (after being forced to sell off assets destroyed by US sanctions) it distributed those billions in profits back to the employees.

It’s not a worker cooperative, there are problems with it like any employee owned company, but don’t be so cynical.

Huawei is a employee owned and communist state backed company - not very capitalist, at least by comparison.

They’re being hammered with export restrictions and sanctions and federal bans and executive orders to keep that from being a viable alternative in the US, but if you’re outside that might be an option.

¿Por qué no los dos?

🤡

Also doubles as a kill list for when they decide it’s time.

Legality can change, that’s literally what we’re talking about. It’s legal now, it doesn’t have to be.

Also just declare that cops don’t have a right to privacy. Easy.
