alternatively: a federal agent either being or pretending to be a predator online

During the call, the Reddit co-founder said the company would begin testing AI-powered search results later this year [and] that search could one day be a significant source of advertising revenue for the company.

this does not seem to be an alternative to the existing method of profiting from ads etc., but more of an additional way to make loads of money

that kids dad works at nintendo

i mean, thats great! but the moneys gotta come from somewhere, and in most cases someone else is being exploited.

most non-profits actually suffer from this issue where getting funding is the number one priority.

the organization has to bend its methods to what will look good on paper vs what would actually be best for their cause

what is ur answer to this system?

theres companies making money off of prison labor, if u want a not very subtle example. in the US, prisons are also for-profit institutions, making it even more insidious.

then ur typical capitalist labor situation ofc. ur boss makes more off of their workers labor than their workers get paid. this “surplus value” is how bosses get richer than the ppl who work for them; all without having to do any actual work of their own.

ow also landlords who rent housing to ppl for a price, often providing very little or even no maintenance at all for that building. this exploits peoples need of shelter for the landlords personal gain, as landlords squeeze as much money out of ppl as they can get away with (also for example, keeping security deposits for no good reason).

what if it means taking other ppls freedom away from them in the process?

yea would be interesting. but im also too lazy to type all that text in by hand to verify

yeee not quite horseshoe theory tho, is it?

after all, the meme is just pointing out that both conservatives and tankies are pro-authority. said nothing about left and right

Iirc this can fall under antisemitism as it impies the wish to “destroy” izzy. I don’t agree, but thats why.

yea, im aware of the bullshit they make up so they can crack down on protests.

doesnt make it true tho.

also german here. the demo i recently went to was cut short by police for no apparent reason.

also many others are being blocked by the cops before they get to happen.

this country is also raiding organizers homes and recently banned a group called “palästina solidarität duisburg” which organized protests as well.

and its all happening in the name of what they call “staatsräson” or some vague ideas of chants like “from the river to the sea, palestine will be free” being antisemitic.

lastly, the idea that cops give a shit abt following the law is ridiculous if u ask me

sooo theres no way of preventing ur phones storage from being copied. it has to be stored on a chip somewhere, and that chips contents can be copied.

there is however a different way of protecting the data.

a strong encryption password is the only real protection against this kind of attack. modern phones have a chip called a Trusted Platform Module, that is capable of storing secret keys in a way thats very difficult to get to even with physical access to the device.

the way i understand encryption on modern phones, is that ur unlock PIN is passed to the TPM, which then passes a secret key (longer and more complex password than ur PIN) to the system to decrypt ur files.

this way, if u only copy the phones storage, u will have to bruteforce this very complex key thats stored in the TPM. or u would have to try to hack or brute-force the TPM itself, which is hardened against those types of attacks specifically.

having said all that, idk if its even reasonable to expect a phone to ever be secure against targeted government agencies attacks. best protection is not having anything personal on ur phone in the first place. so set disappearing messages on messengers, etc.

TL;DR use a long pin or a strong password for ur phone and try to remove any incriminating information from ur phone as soon as its not needed there anymore.

i mean, good point. so what if u have a vote to kick someone for stalling or filibustering?

what about consensus systems? instead of going for a majority, u discuss different solutions until everyone is satisfied or at least ok with the proposed plan

theres a movie in the works by Empire Files about this subject: https://earthsgreatestenemy.com/

yea i feel like i need a week or a month to just breathe. and then afterwards i would do all the things i always wanted to do

AproPO ich benutze auch Arsch

im gonna assume ur joking. its hard to tell sarcasm on the internet.

obviously i would like an actual source like at least one of those “important” ppl talking abt what happened to them

please get some more opinions on this, try to understand the arguments here better, before making up ur mind and believing the founder and CEO of a competing platform that u should switch away from their competitors

arent telegram chats unencrypted by default?

An alarming number of important people I’ve spoken to remarked that their “private” Signal messages had been exploited against them in US courts or media

source?? (i bet this ends up being a “they had full access to my unlocked phone” situation again)

also the whole thing abt US funded encryption is the same bullshit argument ppl use against Tor all the time. it doesnt mean shit.

this just reads like someone desperately trying to get more market share by spreading FUD
