“He who save his country does not violate the law” 😏

The Arnold Method

teslas aren’t even worthy of the designation “self-driving”. They use cheap cameras instead of LIDAR. It should be illegal to call such junk “self-driving”.

Remember, you have the right to self-defence, against both rogue robots and rogue humans.

Well then…

As a #SovereignCitizen, I will not comply with FAA drone laws 😏

Bonus points: Y’all can use an app called Rattlegram to convert a sting of text into audio that can be played over amateur radio. And if you encrypt the text beforehand using encryption tools such as Secure Space Encryptor (known as Paranoia Text Encryption on iOS), or Open PGP (both are open source), before pasting the ciphertext into Rattlegram (also open source), you have encrypted off-grid communications.

This is #Murica! The president can ignore laws. So can we. 😎

Hmmm

I skimmed the webpage and seems like some minimalist phone, which cannot adequetely replace many functions of a modern smartphone.

Fairphone works in Europe, but in the US, for example, only Tmobile allows fairphones, the other carriers, while there nothing technological that prevents them fron working, the carriers being being really shit about it. And Tmovile could also become hostile with a flip of a switch. So yea, that’s a huge issue, unless you want a wifi-only device.

I fear in the future, devices will be more strictly locked down because of “terrorism” “scams” “fraud” or “criminial activity” that allows the authorities, worldwide, to control devices even more. Perhaps, computers could also face such lockdowns.

I mean, look at drones. One harmless crash on the US whitehouse lawn triggered a lot of laws restricting them, inclusing the infamous DJI Geo-locking. One terrorisr using encrypted messaging apps to coordinate would allow governments to control our communications even further. All locked bootloaders. Perhaps even locked BIOS/UEFIs. Imagine such a future.

The future looks bleak. It’s not even like 1984, the reality of dystopia is more subtle. People are being stalked by the government, while there are parties are happening all around, that is what dystopia looks like.

China turned QR codes red to restrict people’s movements on the pretenses of Covid. The US trump admin could do the same with QR code IDs to “prove you are a citizen” with checkpoints throughout the country.

(Sorry if it kinda got offtopic, but still kinda relevent)

Sadly, no linux phones that are actually usable.

Let me give you an analogy.

I was born in the People’s Republic of China. I immigrated to the United States of America when I was not even 10. I grew up in America, I grew attached to the principles of Freedom and Democracy. I went through the proper channels and I obtained Citizenship through the proper way. I am an American.

If someone were to tell me that I’m “not American”, and that because I was “born Chinese, I must be Chinese for the rest of my life”; or, in your phrasing: “A Chinese person cannot become American” you’d be a xenophobe.

Gender is a social contruct. If a man wants to be a woman, or a woman wants to be a man, just let them. Its not denying that they have XX or XY chromosomes, that is what their biology says. But being a “Man” or “Woman” are labels society attributes to those chromosomes, just like the concept of Nationality.

TLDR: Please just let people be whoever they want to be. If you start attacking people’s identity, nobody is gonna wanna talk to you. If you want to spread transphobia, you can go to twitter. Enjoy your nazi bar.

Really?

I’ve used Samsung and Motorola Android phones, I can set them up offline.

I assume every other OEM is the same.

Apple does this.

Microsoft is now doing this.

I wonder how long until Google start doing it with Android 🤔

This future is so fucking dystopian

Eh, you don’t really have a point when people get banned for saying men aren’t women.

Please elaborate? What exactly do you mean?

Given now that the US has a russian president, maybe the US should sanction itself lol

conservative: says a racial slur

Online Platform: bans user

conservative: “sO mUcH fOr tHe tOlEraNt lEfT 😡”

I mean, I don’t give a shit about the money. I just don’t really trust that theives will honor their word and not murder my family. Not every thief are like these ones.

(Respect to these thieves for honoring their word btw. I mean, the PTSD the family suffered would never really be fixed, but at least these criminals have some sort of honor code and upheld their end of the bargain.)

But since cops in my country (USA) would just shoot everyone, I think I’ll have to actually gamble on it and hope the criminals are honorable. 🤷‍♂️

So I would have just secretly tried to tip off the police.

Now I’ve read this…I guess if someone hold my family hostage… I should just follow along and help them commit their crimes? 🤔

Well fuck the police, lets go for a Heist 😎

(Pls don’t shoot my family)

I hate the fact that so-called leftists are still using the felon thing as a talking point.

The point is because it’s essentially a OJ Simpson situation. We know the accused did it, but the jury is ignoring it.

Felons should be allowed to run, but the people shouldn’t vote in someone that have actually done the crime. Its more of a Jury Nullification thing, its a last resort against unjust disqualification, but here, the Jury (the voters) is ignoring all evidence and just acquiting anyways.
