RIP to a real one. I have the whole series archived on my server, it is a historical treasure worth preserving.

Thank you!

Any sauce on the KGLW story? Had not heard of this.

Hi it’s me

Contribute to deflock.me. Step 1 to solving this problem is mapping them all out. Subsequent steps depend on a number of factors.

Yep you’re right, I’m a Nazi because I use a keyboard developed by a foundation funded by a guy who hosted someone for an interview who is a bad person with bad ideas.

Doesn’t matter who I vote for. Doesn’t matter what I advocate for. The work I do to organize in my community doesn’t matter. All of that is invalidated because of the keyboard I use. I’m a secret Nazi! And I’d have gotten away with it too, if it hadn’t been for that meddling Edible Funk.

You’re the hero we all need here on the Left.

Still struggling to understand what makes it “dead.”

Careful, I heard one of the Heliboard devs kicked a puppy once. How dare you support such Evil software?!

/s because sadly that’s needed

Honestly getting tired of the purity tests. The alternatives are horrific. Google. Apple. Meta. So please find me the FOSS project that is perfectly free of sin which I’m allowed to support.

At this point it begins to feel as though this DDV is only here to write takedown pieces on projects not deemed pure enough for the cause.

FUTO hosted an interview once with a POS guy. Oh, the horror. Please help me understand what that has to do with the existence of a keyboard that isn’t spyware. Yeah no. I’ll keep supporting the working alternatives, you have fun using absolutely nothing because “What if one of the devs wasn’t a good person??!”

Same Apple and Google whose CEOs were standing behind the dictator during his inauguration this year?

I can’t think of a reason why, with client side scanning, they couldn’t in the near future implement a filter similar to this. Pictures and videos deemed “problematic” could magically disappear. And of course, your iPhone will send a helpful report to the local Gestapo branch. Eventually, “Sorry, network permission is required to run the camera app. You may not capture images of law enforcement activities per executive law. The camera will now be disabled until you comply.”

These phone pouches confuse me. They open with a simple magnet. Do they think kids don’t have access to magnets?

Your comment is like the embodiment of one of those “Kids don’t know how to swipe a book like an iPad” boomerslop comics

Unfortunately a Fairphone is not a secure device.

Child slaves labored to make raw materials for the device you’re holding. Your purchase kept the market rate for raw materials high, encouraging the continued use of slave labor. Don’t you feel bad?

We do the best we can with the decisions we have available to us.

Easy. Refurbed phone. Google didn’t get a penny.

GrapheneOS is one of the last bastions of freedom remaining. I don’t know what we’ll do if that happens.

This isn’t a backdoor, the bureau says.

“It isn’t a backdoor because we aren’t calling it one. We named the backdoor Lawful Access, so it’s that, not a backdoor.”

These power hungry tyrants just can’t STAND the idea of normal humans being able to communicate without their prying eyes spying on us. They claim this is for the purpose of protecting the public. This is plainly not true, as crime will occur regardless. They cannot eliminate crime, despite their outrageous claims, nor do they actually want to. E2EE comms will be used to plan crime sometimes. Sorry, not sorry. Privacy is worth that cost. I’ll die on that hill.

The solution is to stop putting your data on other people’s computers. You can’t control other people’s computers. Apple does not care about you any more than any other trillion dollar corpo. Take back control.
