Probably for the better. That way relays don't have to worry as much about storing child pornography or other legally dangerous data. Individual apps will find ways around it by being their own image and video hosts, but in return they will also have to do their own moderation. This arrangement makes Nostr more robust.
That's pretty based, but we can't forget to take responsibility for our own privacy too!
Jack needs to go back to his hecking wholesome as frick sped class.
I don't know the whole story for why GPU passthrough is hard to do with Qubes, all I know is that GPU processing is important for my own setup.
Not everyone has the same job, hobbies or other lifestyle choices.
Perfect "op-sec" can always be achieved by simply abandoning the "operation". We can avoid a record of every location we visit being associated with us by giving up on mobile networking. We can avoid a record of our purchases being associated with us by giving up on online shopping. And we can avoid our computer being used against us by giving up on running its CPU.
The true point of security measures like using Qubes should be to achieve comparable security WITHOUT abandoning things essential to our preferred lifestyle. Even just the fact that playing a mildly GPU intensive game has to be done without Qubes is a huge privacy and anonymity roadblock in my eyes, even before looking at anything else.
But even if someone transfers all their games via one-way disposable flash media to the dedicated gaming PC they keep locked up in a faraday cage, or even if someone scoffs at anyone who uses GPU processing for their job or their entertainment, I believe that there are still info-sec considerations even when merely posting text online like you are doing.
I believe that the final front of the personal information war is profiling. That means browser profiling, voice profiling, writing style profiling- you name it. I'm not worried about the "harvest now, decrypt later" paradigm of quantum encryption cracking, but rather a harvest now, profile later approach to human generated information.
We've already seen low stakes examples of how this can start to become relevant to people's privacy and anonymity. Just take Mark Robinson as an example. Idiosyncrasies like Mark Robinson's tendency to refer to a "frog's fat ass", or my own tendency to type "decisionmaking" as one word are things that any random reporter without training data can recognize. But what happens when machine learning models start getting involved? At that point the only way to defend yourself against profiling is to run the information you want to put out through your own machine learning model in order to anonymize it. And have fun running that model without a GPU!
I believe that when someone is defending their freedom, it's important to pay special attention to scoundrels like Mark Robinson and myself. For it is against us scoundrels that oppresive tools are first aimed.
Our right to secrecy comes from our ability to choose not to give away our secret information in the first place. The ultimate standard for privacy tools and techniques are ones that meet this standard of protection, that require no trust at all.
There is no technology that meets this standard for IP addresses. At least Tor has decentralized trust, allowing for some compromised actors without allowing IP information to be correllated with website choice. However VPNs don't meet this standard. A VPN requires centralized trust, just like a raw internet provider or a regular proxy service.
It doesn't matter how "trustworthy" an actor seems to you personally and emotionally; the fact that they can correllate your IP address at all, and the fact that trust is required in the first place is a red mark, and makes the service inferior to what it ought to be.
I hear that GPU passthrough is difficult or even impossible on Qubes, which is a huge roadblock for my privacy. Is my understanding correct?
Volunteer scoundrels. You can count on me.👍I'll even slow down state first responders if I see 'em.
An entomologist lies on his death bed surrounded by family. "Come closer son..." he says with a raspy voice. "I have two important pieces of wisdom I would like to share with you before I pass on..."
"Firstly, time flies like an arrow. Make sure you cherish every moment.
"And secondly, fruit flies like a banana. They fuckin' love one."
What is your view on girls who haven't started puberty and girls that are under 8 years old? Do you believe that they are sexually attractive?
FINALLY! This post is proof! I have finally found a platform where good guys can bully pedophiles. All the other platforms I've looked at either prevent pedophiles from talking about their mental illness, are basically just hives of scum and villany, or both.
Feel the same way about pronouns. "What pronouns should I use to refer to you with?" What, so you can tax me? None; do not refer to me.
Guis, lets just hoard the magic internet money like beanie babies and it will surely increase in value by itself!
I'm going to go against the grain on this one. Some topics are just really really difficult. Even if you have a few examples of a principal, it can be very hard to figure out a general rule. And even if a person comes up with abstract rules for how to accomplish a goal, it can often be difficult to realize all of the most important ways that that rule should be applied. And that's not to mention, even if a person is great at a task, that doesn't mean that they will be able to articulate why, or teach others how to be good at the task as well. Personally I think there are some topics that nobody on Earth is qualified to write a book on.
If you aren't confident, then there's no need to share your thoughts with others, no matter how important the topic. But then again, if you ARE confident in your beliefs, or your actions depend on others, then I don't even care if you are wrong; I want to hear what you have to say.
"If you don't like the taxes then just leave!"
*Taxes that too.*
Makes me want to reach into my car's innards and just start ripping things out.
I've seen Silent.Link before, but I wasn't able to find anything on the site about how the IMEI of one's device is handled. As I understand cellular connections, it's not possible to connect to the network without an IMEI, even with a fancy roaming service. From what I've seen, the main appeal of Silent.Link is hiding phone numbers for security purposes rather than secrecy. Please correct me if I'm wrong! I would love to be able to determine whether this is the case!
What a convenient excuse. Even though you say you don't have the time, I appreciate all the time that you already have put into responding to me. But me personally, I haven't had any difficulty at all finding the time to present my position. If you ever want to challenge my beliefs, I will be happy to give you more of that time.
Besides, even if we were living in a bizzaro alternate universe where I am wrong about something, it's really dumb to expect me to ever admit it if I realize. The only reason I ever talk with people is to test them to figure out why they are wrong. Trying to change their mind would be super insecure and naive. I don't need other people to tell me how awesome my beliefs are.
No thanks, I'd rather keep talking for a bit. Is "supposed implications" better? What about "the implications that you say I will realize?"
Let me try again: Why bother imagining my anger if I'm right here talking with you? Is it because you secretly know that AI generated content doesn't matter?
