- Comment on what do you use for screen sharing? 2 weeks ago:
Okay 2 things.
- I haven’t heard about any security issues with Rustdesk. Can you link to what you’re referring to?
- It’s strange to see someone concerned about security recommend RDP for remote access when it’s a terrible idea to expose it to the internet. But maybe you mean to expose a VPN and then connect to RDP via that?
- Comment on what do you use for screen sharing? 3 weeks ago:
No rustdesk but recommend RDP for remoting?
I’m confused on both recommendations.
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 3 weeks ago:
Everything you suggest seems self evident because you supply the evidence yourself.
It should be obvious to anyone who knows the first thing about how cell phones work.
Remember, you replied to me. You seemed quite proud of your comment and all your links. Unfortunately you completely missed the point.
- Comment on Healthiest way to charge Lithium Ion 3 weeks ago:
Plenty of good answers here already. Just want to add a funny anecdote.
I’ve had the same USB charging brick for years, using it for different phones throughout that time. When I check the battery settings when it’s plugged in it “warns” me that I could be charging at a higher rate if I plug into a higher amperage charger. Yeah… I know. I WANT to charge slowly. It’s gonna be plugged in all night, what do I care?
I’ve had my phone for a year, 165 charging cycles, and it says it’s still at 100% health. I do cap charging to 80% and that hasn’t been an issue for my day-to-day usage.
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 3 weeks ago:
Strange. You wanna be done so suddenly after being shown how obvious the solution is.
we can talk about how batteries aren’t removable in most phones anymore
So don’t buy those. Buy one with a removable battery….
whether or not the act of suddenly buying prepaid phones isn’t itself incriminating
Go use cash, in person.
Again, use your imagination. I refuse to believe I’m smarter than you or anyone else. These seem like obvious solutions.
My incredulity that the person further up the thread couldn’t think of a simple solution to the issue they posed came across as rude. I’m not sorry about it. Think for a minute….
I think everyone in the thread ultimately wants women to be able to get abortions without fear of prosecution.
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 3 weeks ago:
Keep reading the thread.
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 3 weeks ago:
Not bringing a phone definitely is an option.
But I suggested a burner with forwarding so that handles comms to partner.
If you can’t function without your main device for special circumstances such as this, I guess you just can’t be helped.
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 3 weeks ago:
Hm. I said without power. Not switched off.
I suggested no power but not for the entire trip. Put the battery back in when you’re sufficiently far from your house so as not to be associated with it.
Use your imagination. It helps.
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 3 weeks ago:
Ok how’s the industry tracking a phone with no power?
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 3 weeks ago:
You really can’t think of a solution to this?
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 3 weeks ago:
Don’t bring your phone.
Get a burner and set up call forwarding.

And you understand that reasonable force varies by state, right? I’ve said it multiple times.
I will use the maximum allowed for the state I reside in. I have lived in states which allowed for deadly force to protect property.

- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
I don’t care. Like I said, in some states you can employ deadly force to keep someone from making off with your shit. I do not value those people more than my property. Straight up. I’m not deflecting or side stepping or mincing words. They’re trash and I do not morn them should they be shot and killed during the course of taking things that aren’t theirs.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
There is a solution, it’s called insurance. I know that you wouldn’t get your family heirlooms back
Then it isn’t exactly a solution, is it? The jewelry probably only would appraise for <$1000 (probably far less). It’s not about the monetary cost.
but neither would you being armed but not home.
Yeah…? I don’t get this line of argument. This just in - guns only effective when there’s a human there to operate it. No shit…
You’re simultaneously arguing that guns are overkill to solve theft and that guns don’t solve theft.
I fear that you could end up shooting a porch pirate in the back while claiming self defense.
The state I live in currently wouldn’t allow for me to use deadly force to protect property. But states I’ve lived in in the past sure would. As of now, I would have to be in fear of great bodily harm or death in order to employ deadly force and that’s the standard I will follow. Just keep in mind that many robberies involve a deadly weapon on the perpetrators side which is an immediate green light on my end.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
Instead of arming civilians for vigilantism pressure should be put on the government to deal with the root causes of criminal behaviour.
Sure, I advocate for that too. Until then…
As far as I was aware the legal punishment for theft wasn’t…
There’s one weird trick to not being shot for stealing shit.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
Sorry, are you implying it isn’t?
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
Fascism is when you don’t let people steal your stuff.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
You want me to believe there’s no situation in which you would use deadly force?
You’re lying or lack imagination.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
By that logic we all are. Your line is just somewhere else.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
You sound like a thief who’s mad.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
You’re expecting me to value people who steal shit.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
Okay, sure. I wish people didn’t steal, kill, and rape too but it happens. Just the reality.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
If stopping someone in the act of stealing my shit or trying to harm me is vigilantism, then sure.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
You’ve made an analogy about preparedness and let the assumption hang that that makes both things equal.
No. It doesn’t do that at all. Nothing in my comment should be construed as to equate the wearing of seat belts and the carrying of firearms. They are different things, meant for different purposes, with different consequences for their misuse.
The analogy demonstrated ways in which they are the same - having it and not needing it is usually what happens and needing it and not having it can be very bad.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
There are a lot of disingenuous replies in this comment section but I’ll just go on explaining as if you actually don’t understand.
The rating comment was meant to demonstrate that I am not at my peak physical condition and am more vulnerable than my outward appearance portrays.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
I mean, I don’t require your trust.
But consider the consequences if I misuse my gun. They’re quite a lot more serious than those caught stealing.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
Yeah the people stealing shit are… different people and not me?
What is your point?
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 1 month ago:
Was my statement wrong in any way?
Do you know how analogies work? Of course the two things I compared are different.
It’s like if I said “a fish swimming is like a bird flying” and you coming along and saying “omg swimming and flying are the same now???/”
I even spelled it out - it’s about preparedness.
