There are better ways.. since you're here on this platform you're already doing one of them
Violence?! 😑
That's just wrong when you're dealing with the government
The curly hair, the silver chain, the Bjj... appears more on camera with his wife and daughter.. going to podcasts.. Etc...
They're trying really hard to humanize him, but we all can see through the lies..
Today’s proposal to digitalise passports and identity cards paves the way for a more seamless and secure travel experience,” Věra Jourová, the Commission’s Vice-President for values and transparency, said in a statement.
we know what happens when someone says the word "secure" ... ahhhaaam..
remember, someone a person or a government or a cyber terrorist group will track these border checks..
and the app itself won't be so transparent as your Lemmy client, I think I'll stick to paper passport
France wanted a backdoor.. they got it, and Telegram was never trustworthy..
for the new people to the linux communtiy, the reason behind the CW tag, is because Lunduke is not a trustworthy source, he's not in it for the love of journalism but for the love of pushing agenda.. and he speads propaganda, cherry picks his facts, and straight out lies about what people said or could have meant
you know how to know you're listening to false narratives .... well.. most of the time it makes you feel triggered or angry...
these 20 people are awesome :D
That's not a hard proof, people keep saying Intel ME and AMD PSP are potential backdoors ( key word: potential ) and this argument is good if we're arguing about: which is the best ISA, an Open ISA ( RiscV ) or closed ISA ( x86 )
I was asking for a general example, I know that Mediatek chips included a backdoor but I only found one article that talked about it .. In french..
Mobos : I think it's MSI ( I could be wrong ) that installed a piece of software through a Bios update, which showed they have privileged remote access capabilities ( I couldn't find that source, sorry )
Another example would be ASUS and Gigabyte Mobos, now the initial source says it came from the second hand resellers, but no one confirmed that.. which is scary... because that would mean it came straight from ASUS and/or Gigabyte
I was asking for incidents that you came across that could demonstrate the presence of firmware backdoors, saying having too many bugs is not a good argument, because all software has bugs.
If not a Pixel with GOS, I would say the second best pick is a Fairphone with CalyxOS.. And don't worry about the updates, they'll provide extended support for as long as possible, which could be years, CalyxOS is also awesome
Huawei, Xiaomi and Samsung phones
And last but not least, they kill your apps
So you want to challenge their ways by their rules!!
I think what's naive is knowing history, and still repeating the past's mistakes, a revolution may have all the flashy and beautiful themes like liberty and union but if it's not built on a solid ethical foundation then it's doomed to repeat the pasts mistakes ( war, genocides... Etc ) even if the near future outcome is what you're hoping for, It will all collapse... again
I'm not referring to the act of commenting on a website as the sole method of change, this is just one tiny step, how do you think a small group of people ( some call them capitalists, billionaires, elites, whatever you wanna call them.. ) are able to control the majority.. It's because they put their ideological differences aside, and They're organizated and they plan for the future..
What I meant by that comment is that if you aren't on their networks of surveillance they have less control over you, think about it from a bigger perspective now, their food system, their banking institutions, their schooling systems... etc etc..
And make no mistake, They're not threatened by your philosophy, especially if it's a philosophy like theirs ( uses violence as a solution ), They're threatened by your action, try to exit their banking system and see how hard it is, try to evade Surveillance and see how hard it is... Try to be independent in terms of food and see how hard it is... you can't do it alone, but with a group of like minded people, you have a chance
