No, no we don't. We need a secure browser that works. We don't need more politics in big tech.

r/politics is almost a hivemind.

Most of them didn't do it simply because their guy didn't win. It's because they believe the election was illegitimate. If Trump won this election and you sincerely believed that it was due to fraud, would you consider it unjustified for people to storm the capitol?

More reason to utilize alternative networks.

Fake and gay.

Ricochet is an interesting project too. It also doesn't have centralized servers. It routes messages through the tor network.

https://ricochet.im/

The developers aren't giving guarantees about it though. From the website:

Ricochet is an experiment. Security and anonymity are difficult topics, and you >should carefully evaluate your risks and exposure with any software.

We’re working on auditing, reviewing, and always improving Ricochet (and we’d >love more help). There will be problems. We hope to do better than most, but >please, don’t risk your safety any more than necessary.

This reminds me of this satirical article I saw.

i love suckless. i'm devoted to dwm and ive been using the same compile of it since like 2012

This is great news! It shows that even with open source you can make a vibrant and valuable business. Just like Redhat and Canonical and probably a few other companies.

DDG is pretty much only lying about being privacy focused.

Gabriel Weinberg, the founder of DuckDuckGo, used to run the Names Database.[1] This was a website that aimed to connect people who had lost contact by gathering lots and lots of e-mail addresses. Getting access could be done by either paying money, or submitting lots of e-mail addresses of other people. Since the service revolved around gathering personal information, it is very suspicious for Gabriel Weinberg to start a business that is privacy-oriented. [2]

DuckDuckGo used to set a tracking cookie, even though they claimed they didn't. This was done by a third party they cooperate with, which means that it wasn't necessarily intentional, but if it's unintentional, it shows a worrying lack of care.[3]

DuckDuckGo is based in the US. This makes it really easy for the NSA to compromise it. If it were based in the EU, for example, the NSA wouldn't have the legal power to force them to log everything without telling anyone. This wouldn't guarantee privacy, but it would make it a lot more plausible. Instead, they're based in the US, which means that the NSA can do whatever they want with them. There are secure search engines that are not based in the US.[3]

And that kind of introspection and honesty puts you light years ahead of the authoritarian Leftist horde. :)

Does a pair of similarly-sized tin cans offer any protection, or do the spies subsidize sufficient accelerometers to be able to defeat your puny human tactics over the length of any reasonable car trip? (I assume they do with an Apple phone, but who would spends so much anyway? The spies should be paying YOU.)

After review, you're right. I was definitely annoyed.

I'm very happy with Suckless Image Viewer (sxiv) and a fork of the Suckless Terminal that does the solarized color scheme (st-solarized-scrollback in the Arch User Repository). Minimalist, keyboard-friendly, and capable. Good software!

Oh, the authoritarianism is coming, don't you worry.

Wow.

Remember when the police found OJ Simpson in the mid '90s during his infamous police chase by tracking which cell towers his phone was connected to? The tech has gotten much better since then.

I can switch my phone out. Or leave it at home.

No. Because as you said, most carry one around willingly.

Ive been trying to tech myself CAD so I can fix my son's stuff as he get older.

you live under a damn rock

cordial enough

Eh, I didn't read it that way at all. Tone is very easy to misinterpret over written communicaiton. So you may have typed what you typed with a friendly and warm state of mind, but your words could easily me interpreted (in my opinion) as someone who is annoyed. Nothing you said was really unhinged or awful, but I don't think the majority of users would read your posts as cordial.

I still stand by what I said though.

That's why I'm here. If you don't like something online, go somewhere else. Free speech, contrary to the back assword understanding of the concept as described in their /w/freespeech page, is an essential tool for the underdogs to ensure the establishment doesn't become corrupt, out of touch, and predatory.

This program isn't doing steganography or encryption of any kind. Encryption means you want to send something to someone you don't know who has a special key to understand it. The goal here is to send something to someone you don't know who doesn't have any advantages at all over the people you don't want to receive the text. So it's like a CAPTCHA for censors to fill out - a way to make it harder for a machine to tell tens of thousands of people what information they're allowed to pass on.

Sorry - the link in the text is an HTML file ... it turns out that Github's idea of an HTML file is their page showing you the HTML source. So you actually have to copy and paste it into a text file and save to desktop to use it. Unless there's some feature/setting I missed, which is more likely than not.

Meanwhile, I think you should be able to run the demonstrator for real at https://jsfiddle.net/Lke6p3dq/ - which, with some hint to apply the suffix to JSFiddle, can be described as myrtle fame jail totally

Sounds interesting, and I'm just getting up and moving around so I need to rub the sleep out my eyes and look at it closer.

To demonstrate what I mean: Pony Tough Feature Post is a URL for the Ramble Privacy forum,

I searched, but couldn't find this site. Care to send me the link?

Any project that teaches you something new is a project worth doing.
