Lmao yeah okay, what part of the person who made the order and the person who pulled the trigger deserve to be held responsible makes it a defense for them?

Not all Israeli people are fucking bad. Just as not all American’s are Trump or support him. Now provide objective evidence that they personally committed atrocities, hold them responsible.

Saying they support said atrocities? That’s bad and I don’t support that shit but people don’t deserve to die because they’re misguided or say the wrong thing.

Now did saying a thing result in an atrocity or further one? Yeah hold them accountable and bring their asses to justice.

I’m not saying that I support or defend Nazi’s because I fucking hate nazi’s like Musk, Trump, & Netanyahu, I’m just saying that I believe in the rule of law and believe that everyone should have their day in court to be judged and held accountable.

I guess that makes me a Nazi defender, I’d say that it just makes anyone who thinks I’m wrong in believing people should be held accountable for their crimes and not just killed a radical extremist.

I meant both lol if someone ordered to kill them and someone pulled the trigger then they both deserve to be held responsible.

Y’all are rabid in this post though.

Or the ones who literally pulled the trigger

The people that made the decision to kill them deserve to die.

The staffers didn’t deserve to die.

My thoughts exactly, been telling people we are in a kakistocracy since he started naming his nominees.

Debian works too, it really doesn’t matter as long as its not windows and google Chromebook crap.

Linux distros aren’t all made the same, but they’re all pretty much the same in spirit. Tux is universal.

I personally think that Pop!OS is a user friendly distro that would be an easy introduction to Linux for students while also focusing on privacy and security with less clutter.

Edit: those who downvote don’t understand the reference accuracy.

Pop!OS is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution featuring a custom GNOME desktop.

It is designed to have a minimal amount of clutter on the desktop without distractions in order to allow the user to focus on work.

This distro was also designed with security and privacy in mind.

So students can more easily focus on their work while also being more secure and private while using an easy to use interface, I know it’s not the only one but its a good one!

Fuck chromebooks anyways, Google shouldn’t be allowed to steal so much information about our youth directly from the devices they use at school. They should be using laptops with Linux installed on them, preferably Pop!OS to preserve the kids privacy.

I don’t condone damaging school property, although I think it’s a lesser evil to Google’s privacy practices on Chromebooks.

That would be DHL lol

“Francis appointed nearly 80% of the cardinal electors who will choose the next pope, increasing the possibility that his successor will continue his progressive policies, despite the strong pushback from traditionalists.”

I largely don’t agree with this, I played chess (Battle Chess) as a kid, I wasnt the best at chess but I had fun. I hadn’t played it in over 15+ years.

My coworker plays chess on a regular basis, against other players and against the computer at 1,700. He knows quite a few strategies that I never bothered to ask what they entailed, which is a part of your point, but I just play off of the moves I see on the board, I don’t know any technical moves or strategies other than checkmate the king, castling, and en passant.

I literally wing it every time and my opponent is always thinking about future moves to try and destroy me. Our matches include blunders and typically end up with only a couple pieces left on the board. Its such a fun experience when it’s played without expectation and you’re relying on pure personal strategy in real time.

I’ve won twice In a row now. Its usually back and forth

Unlike common talking points, crypto does rely on and follow the traditional markets. Its not really a hedge against them.

Referring to the episode where Professor Farnsworth created an alternate dimension in a box.

My recommendation for you would to be to ditch the iOS device and get a Google Pixel phone and immediately flash it to GrapheneOS which de-googles it entirely.

Regarding privacy and security it is literally the best option considering it doesn’t send any telemetry to the underlying OS host servers like Apple and Google do.

On top of that, F-Droid and Accrescent are app stores for open source software only available for the android ecosystem that has no equivalent on iOS. Accrescent is specifically aimed towards security and privacy.

First, the Google Pixel has a multi-user function that, when utilized, allows the user to create multiple profiles (I believe it’s up to 32 on GrapheneOS) on the device which ensures separation between apps that you don’t want to talk to each other.

Like if you have Telegram you can put it on its own profile so it doesn’t collect data from your other apps and send it off to data brokers. It’s like having a brand new phone for every user.

Second, Molly-Foss is a hardened fork of Signal that is specific to android and doesnt contain any of Google’s proprietary code available only in F-Droid and Accrescent. Molly has passphrase encryption (a feature that Signal removed), can be used with , and has RAM Shredding for securely deleting sensitive information.

Secondly, F-Droid hosts apps like:

1.) Exodus: An privacy dashboard that lists all of your apps trackers and permissions so you can make informed decisions on the apps you keep on your phone. (I currently don’t have ANY apps that have trackers on my device). It also details what those trackers collect and a percentage of your apps that have that tracker.

2.) TrackerControl: Gives you granular control over all the trackers that your apps interact with (and even websites you visit which is extremely helpful in browsing the web more safely). It categorizes trackers by their function such as Advertising, Analytics, Fingerprinting, Email, Essential, Social, and Uncategorized and allows you to block each of them individually and allow certain ones that are required for the app or website to function.

3.) Privacy Browser: The name says it all but its a web browser based off of the android webview that minimizes the data that is sent to the internet and minimizes the amount of data that is stored on the device. It has built in tracker control, toggles for DOM Storage, Cookies, and JavaScript. You can also stream it through TOR, I2P, or your own proxy.

4.) Aurora Store: A private frontend for Google Play Store for apps that you can’t get on F-Droid that you feel you must have on your device. You can use the anonymous log in feature so you don’t need to have a google account to install apps. You can filter out apps that are reliant on Google Play Services as well that don’t have trackers built into them.

5.) PipePipe: A private frontend for YouTube that doesn’t allow Google to track you (unless you log in)

F-Droid has a TON of Free/Libre Open Source Software apps that aren’t creepy and respect your privacy. It includes a large selection of apps that you can self host on a server at home to replace most big tech services.

Third, you should look into self hosting your own services to replace big tech, it allows you to take control of your data and privacy

https://openalternative.co/self-hosted

https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

Nextcloud is an amazing self hosted cloud service. Bitwarden or Keepass are also amazing password managers you can self host Bitwarden.

Otherwise, all fediverse apps for services like: Reddit: Lemmy (of course) using an app like Raccoon from F-Droid that doesn’t have any trackers. Instagram: Pixelfed using an app like PixelDroid from F-Droid that also doesn’t have any trackers. TikTok: Loops from loops.video Facebook/Twitter: Mastodon

And I’d be remiss to not mention Mullvad and ProtonVPN as private choices for VPN’s. They are not based in the US and you can pay for Mullvad in cash.

Tuta and Proton both have solid Email and Calendars.

Telegram is not private at all. Its not even end to end encrypted unless you turn the feature on with direct messages. I would not recommend this as a private alternative especially considering they hand over messages to law enforcement after the creator was arrested and forced to.

If you use telegram just be aware it is absolutely not private.

The CEO said that Trump chose a great pick and sided with Republicans and there was a firestorm over it, he doubled down on his position through the official Proton channel.

That doesn’t change the fact that it’s insecure and will likely become even more insecure as more governments demand more of the same in the name of “protecting the children”.

Regardless if Apple’s actions were better than the alternative, devices devoid of such vulnerabilities such as degoogled phones are inherently more secure and private.
