when it became apparent that all the states that kept getting hit with natural disasters were mostly Republican controlled ones. 😂

Yeah. Almost like electing a long string of sociopaths makes the citizens more vulnerable to disaster impacts…

“the elevation of factual complexity over self-evident morality.”

I found that tough to parse, but worth it.

“Either apartheid is right or wrong. It’s really, really simple.”

Well put.

This is just speculation, but I’ve picked up on a pattern of speculating that something is technically possible, assuming there’s no way they’d actually be doing that, and later finding out that it was actually underestimating what they were doing.

As the saying goes, just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean you’re wrong.

The answer that will put this question to bed is open source hardware. Thankfully we’re close to having viable options, finally.

This is beautiful.

They also last longer than the premade stuff,

And they’re a much nicer experience. It’s funny how fast even minimum hardware performs when it’s doing what I ask it to, instead of spying on me.

Yeah. Samesies. Not all of us put up with this crap.

Edit: There are dozens of us!

But what device do you use to stream?

Raspberry Pi with a bare image of Android TV installed. The result is a Roku without any attempt to serve home screen ads.

So which brand is the better of em?

I haven’t found one that isn’t shit, sadly.

That said, I installed Android TV on a Raspberry Pi 4, connected that to a TV via HDMI, and have all the features (and way more) of a Smart TV or Roku, without the OS level ads or spying.

Good bot.

Neat.

Wow. Fuck everything about this. Clean water is a human right.

You know it’s not that easy right.

It absolutely is. The “how” is hard. The “what” is something we all should have learned in kindergarten.

what is the government supposed to do?

Spend money on getting clean water to living humans. Ask for help. Spend more money. Ask for more help. Focus on the problem until it is solved.

Python is dynamically typed by default, but lots of Python is statically typed.

But that’s not compiled, not to binary at least.

Well…sort of.

• Python ByteCode
• Can Python be compiled?

(Everything is weirder than it seems at first glance.)

Lol. The people downvoting your comment need to get good.

Python with MyPy.

(Almost any language can meet those criteria, with enough shenanigans.)

I say supposedly because I think 95% of users don’t have a threat model that justifies the extra security really.

Does street cred with my Cybersecurity peers count as a threat model?

I’m definitely one of the users of GrapheneOS that you’re talking about. My threat model is “this is fucking cool!”

Also, the grass is always greener on the other side. I want a Fair phone.

Another way to read a lot of adversarial code is digging into the Metasploit payloads.

There’s no easy answers.

Your instinct to keep the streams uncrossed is good.

I find that it at least got easier after I started to think about this as I created things.
