As others have said, I guarantee there are movements and organzing happening in your area.

Don’t be the person shouting that others aren’t doing enough when you aren’t doing more than complain online.

Use this energy. It’s kind of hilarious that you’re complaining about how people are fighting amongst themselves while you’re doing it too.

Some people have to focus on survival, and don’t have the energy to do more. That’s by design. Intentional design by those in power. So if you have that energy, go do for them. Work with unions and local lawmakers to improve conditions for the people living paycheck to paycheck instead of trying to shame them into just magically having more energy after ensuring they’ll be able to eat and have a place to stay.

Lots of clutter, no trash. Maybe some of the papers in the coffee table that my toddler has scribbled on are trash, but I’m saving those for re-use until they get crumpled or I see her choose not to use them when she’a drawing.

Part of the issue, admittedly, is that there’s a bunch. Many have outdated info as well.

NAACP guide seems written for a more peaceful era, but is a good place to start.

Rescue our Democracy similarly has some oversights when it comes to tech safety, but at least mentions wearing a mask.

I’m not finding the better guides right now.

The big things as far as reducing identification that I’m not seeing is that beyond face coverings and the like to prevent facial recognition, don’t bring your real phone and if you do keep it powered off in a faraday bag.

Phones are still traceable when in airplane mode, and while powered off, through bluetooth low power mode. This is what many countries used for covid exposure tracking. The only defense agaist this tracking is having your phone in a faraday bag that it doesn’t leave until you are out of the protest area, or simply not bringing it.

There are a few ways to get burner phones not tied to your identity. If you wanted to go that route, you’d want to do the opposite. Keep the burner in the faraday bag at home and only use it out at protest locations, alongside the advice from those two guides as far as disabling biometrics, etc.

I’ll try and find some better guides later today.

they’re about to make 3D printing illegal

What now? Who and how? It’s a fucking industry at this point and the equipment is already out in the wild.

Huh? I’m having no issues with vsCode, and while I haven’t used Discord in ages I didn’t have problems with it either. Both are electron. Got any links about these issues handy?

The protest safety guides need to be more widespread.

That only mitigates. There are still a number of ways to potentially track a hardened phone, and countless ways to breach proper OPSEC on social media that have nothing to do with the platform.

Don’t rely entirely on system choices to keep you safe.

If you think that any nation-state with the money to implement this shit isn’t doing it already, I have a bridge to sell you.

Surveillance is a matter of power and maintaining it, far more than any ideological thing. There are already people being caught by this sort of shit in the UK and Europe as well.

While making this easier to access isn’t a positive, there are a ton of ways that this can, and already is, being done at companies that actually care about this shit.

Yeah you’re totally in the office, but your laptop just magically has an IP from the subnet for devices connected over VPN 🙄

Once again I must insist that people need to stop expecting any privacy on work devices. It is possible to find out anything on them, including location, it’s just a matter of how much effort your workplace is willing to expend on looking.

Edit: While I appreciate the article being short and to the point, a link to any documentation on this would have been nice. The claim is that it will display the SSID of the Wi-Fi AP you’re connected to. While being able to get that from your phone is a new bit of reach, it’s possible to gather that from work devices easily.

Just enulation? Ducktales 1 got a remake/remaster. Kind of sad not to include that.

ELITE? Really, of all the things to name it?

Well I guess they know who they’re marketing to.

The price has crept up with the paid expansions, but holy shit do NOT sleep on the Castlevania one. It doubles the base game content, and fits in great.

Lemmy

lemmynsfw.com is what it says on the tin. Boatload of nsfw communities.

Also, a lot of nsfw sites have forums bolted on if you’re really into that sort of thing.

For some additional context, hot brewing is really only needed for sweet iced l tea. More sugar dissolves into hot liquid than cold, so you put more sugar in it when it’s hot so it’s extra sweet.

Everyone was too concerned the AI would do it and wasn’t looking close enough at the C-Suite Execs.

I swear, every time I start to think that I go overboard with this sort of shit in my scripts for work, I either find another ridiculous edge case or a story like this comes out.

Maybe check fmhy’s (free media hell yeah) piracy megathread? I think that’s one of the most up to date "megathread"s.

Or some piracy communities on lemmy. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is the biggest one, and is the successor of the piracy subreddit (the head mod left reddit and started their own lemmy instance).

It sucked to have bought into the kickstarter and financed the project, and then see the product on the shelves at Target while I was still waiting on mine to be delivered.

Shit, I didn’t realize it got that bad. I’m honestly surprised I didn’t hear more rage about that online at the time.

There’s multiple projects out there for it. Windows 10 Ameliorated is/was an open source project of PowerShell scripts you run against the installation media (and I think afer install, it’s been a while) to get LTSC Windows 10 stripped down as much as possible.

It’s what I run in a VM for my work’s VPN connection software (and then for the RDP session too). Keeps an extra level of separation from my personal stuff.

I could probably get things working in a Linux VM, but it’s not worth the trouble for me.

The fuck are you talking about? I’m not the thorn guy, and I do find their “quirk” annoying.

A callout post about another user, like this one, is explicitly against the sidebar rules, and it’s a massive dick move to not just block the guy and instead make a callout post for something so small. I don’t want to see lemmy turn into the brigading fest that reddit could be at times, so I’m going to call this shit out.

I’ve already reported it, which is the reasonable response. This callout post is because it marks a distinct pattern of completely absent moderation here, backed up by the fact that only one of the three mods has any activity in the last fucking year.

My feelings aren’t hurt, I’m frustrated at the shit state of this sub, and I’m going to at least try to do what little I can before I do the responsible thing of just blocking and peacing out.
