Great for the workers. The tech workers need to unionize, too.

You will have to inevitably trust someone somewhere for every phone, unfortunately. At least the Titan has been tested in the real world, and it’s not like it’s phoning home on it’s own or anything.

You love this line, it’s your go to NPC response. You may not have written the article, but by posting it, you are promoting it.

You’ll gish gallop around that fact, I’m sure. But you constantly post inflammatory articles and then claim that it’s okay because you didn’t write the article. It’s not okay, and you’re supporting the misleading and inflammatory content by doing that (but of course, you already know that).

I can vouch for the same thing, I’ve been quickly down voted into the negative deep in his chain of comments before. He totally does vote manipulation.

It’s not carpets that I take my shoes off for - it’s so I don’t track public bathroom and outside street debris into my house.

These initiatives were started by a business man from CA who moved his company here because he thought WA was less left. He was wrong and is now trying to block any taxes he can. Fuck Brian Heywood and the GOP.

What’s surprising about their stock ROM having tracking and phoning home? Use Grapheneos.

Yep, a bastion is what you’re looking for. I use an rpi + a Dynamic DNS record in a script on the pi to automatically update firewall and ssh rules if my IP updates. Of course, you may need to do some configuration depending on their network setup.

Bazzite is where it’s at for gaming. Even more stable than PopOS and runs games very well out of the box.

Ignoring Israel doing an entire ground invasion, though. That’s definitely not a major escalation.

As I said in my other comment, Ukraine is under martial law. Privacy rights are low on the list at the moment due to Russians invading and killing citizens. It doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to save lives.

Ukraine is under martial law, so privacy rights (especially involving something like MAC addresses which Starlink already has, not to mention that most citizens still in country can’t afford it in the first place) are far down on the list. It’s an unfortunate cost of Russia’s invasion. The Ukrainians have already done similar things with cell-based devices, it’s not some massive undertaking that would be new to them. It’s not like they’d make it front page news, either.

Really, it’s not even just Ukraine that could do something. Starlink can too, but because maintaining lists has no ROI they won’t until they’re forced.

I’d hope that Starlink devices have attestation to prevent MAC spoofing.

It’s really not all that difficult from a technical perspective. All that Ukraine or Starlink would need to do is keep track of the MACs in use, blacklisting those which have been lost or destroyed. Some would slip through, but it’s better than not doing it at all.

Of course, with Musk being pro-Russian, I don’t expect Starlink to help Ukraine out any more than they have to for optics.

I haven’t used PayPal in ages, I only use Privacy cards.

I just pay for my own when ARL when I want to use deemix (I had no idea people were sharing ARLs).

It’s giving Schitt’s Creek

It wouldn’t be the first time they claimed this. Wait for the researchers and users to validate first.

He knows it won’t pass, the article says it too. That’s not the point.
