No, just a statement of fact really, it is a vulnerability.

But if you are that much of a target then you need something else, none or need to use it in such a way that it misdirects.

It's possible to be aware that ultimate security is compromised by CPU and modem backdoors while stil desiring slightly greater privacy and security with regards to OS and reporting to remote services.

It's a threat model compromise thing. GrapheneOS is better than stock Google Android, but it's not a silver bullet that solves the hardware issue. You're sort of constructing a straw man here, no?

Me? That sounds like projection and I still don't see how it all connects as a train of thought

I think smart people all low-key know who the smartest people are. Like the way models low-key know who is prettiest.

No real point doing an IQ pissing contest in a place full of people on the right end of the curve. It's already the Mensa clique, by simple self-selection, and we can all tell who the biggest brains are because it's painfully obvious.

I just outed myself as "not one of the biggest brains" because everyone already knew it and it doesn't matter because nobody expects women to be that smart. LOL

This thread is in danger of starting an IQ pissing contest with the 120 crowd... 😂😜

Anything under 110 or over 150 and you'll start to feel bewildered or bored, trying to communicate with me.

I'd want to see a whole lot of repentance & follow through first in very great numbers before that became a viable risk...

Heh, now?

Why pay Ferrari prices for a skateboard?

Better off just controlling your passions & do something more worthwhile until / if things return to some kind of sanity in your lifetime.

In case nobody noticed, clown world offers little good iron & a whole lot of dross.

That's why the ole "But why should I pay for her dinner? What does she bring to the table?" question is so... underwhelming.

She brings to the table the social status required to be able to expect someone to value her company enough that he's willing to pay just to have her undivided attention for a couple of hours, at the same time that she possess the financial stability to not need the money he pays and the options to choose who gets the privilege to pay. That is something very concrete that can work to his advantage, later. And the more men would be willing to pay for that attention, and the more each man would be willing to pay, the more of an advantage she brings.

Men will pay, just to speak to her and watch her chew food. They will buy her an $80 steak, just to watch her eat it. She might even regularly turn down steak dinner offers. She might even be turning down gold-dusted steak dinners in private jets on the way to Malibu offers.

This is someone you want on your team.

And you certainly don't use an F15 for an assassin.

Planes ain't much use in a Guerilla war, portable artillery does the heavy lifting.

IDK man. If you want to look at it optimistically, I think there might just be enough of us to pull off another, uh, 1776? if we have to. Putting your rose colored glasses on, a bunch of mission aligned liberty fighters took on the largest empire in history, won, and went about their business and were allowed to talk about that.

Only a fool would refuse to acknowledge you can't make a 1:1 comparison with the tyranny potential today, but it's something to hold on to I suppose.

Pessimistically, the president recently said (and has said like half a dozen times), "you would need an f15 to take on the federal government, why would you need a RIFLE?" - Translation: we are far to powerful to fight, so you might as well give up your weapons now before we have to kill you all and take them forcibly.

I don't know, it's your story.

You can always do stupid things in stupid places with stupid people & test the results yourself... 😂

I don't really believe in the high/low time-preference thing, anymore.

We actually don't know why anyone did anything.
