- Comment on Verizon carriers start switching to 365-day device unlock policy, up from 60 days 2 hours ago:
If you were already planning on using a carrier, buying a locked phone is cheaper.
Like for a extremely frugal example:
A Samsung Galaxy A15 is $200, a locked version can be as low as $60. Still the same 5 year security updates (presumably, unless the carrier fucks with it).
But if you were gonna use X carrier from the start, then then it doesn’t cost you extra. You can still use that cheap plan same as if you BYOD. And it used to unlock in 60 days, so before this policy took effect, you could just switch carriers after 2 months.

I installed LineageOS on my Motorola and the data connection stops working… restored back to factory rom and it starts working again
So I guess if you really want to use it as a wifi-only device, sure
or daily drive 2 phones with one of them on the factory rom to use as a hotspot for the other one running Lineage

As much as we hate it, google is the only one who has any power to prevent abuse of the stupid, elderly and gullible. Someone has too.
Not far enough. We should require a government agent to be with people to verify there isn’t any fraud before allowing any money transactions to happen.
Wanna buy food at the grocery store? Please wait for your assigned NSA agent to verify that you’re not being scammed.
(Is /s even needed?)

Not to be pessimistic: But Good luck with the linux phone when carriers start doing whitelisting like ATT already does
(Unless you wanna dual-phone?)

I mean you could adopt and it doesn’t increase the population any further. And you get save a child from having to live a life as an orphan. Win win?
- Comment on How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election? 19 hours ago:
When talking to right-wingers, convince them both parties are the same and encourage 3rd-party voting
When talking to anyone left-of-center, encourage them to vote in elections, especially primaries
When you talk to right wingers, don’t say “trump is a fascist”, you need to water it down.
Talk about the issues that hurt them. Inflasion. Cost of living.
Don’t bother to convince them to vote blue, it’s gonna trigger them and they will just ignore you. Focus on convincing that “Republicans are just as bad as Democrats!¹ Lets vote 3rd party!”
¹Cuz they view Democrats as bad… so you need to “code-switch” when trying to Psyop against them.
- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE Agents and Trump and such? 19 hours ago:
Firehose of Counter-Propaganda.
You might not convince them to vote blue, but you can LARP as a right-winger that’s disillusioned with the right and say shit like “both sides are the same”.
Simultaneously, you encourage people left-of-center to go out and vote.

I’m just kinda scared of this AI thing and clientside scanning becoming mandatory in the future.
I mean, you write anti-government stuff on your computer?
Oops, files has been deleted because it “threatens national security”
They could make this AI scanning thing hardware-based bypassing linux (see Intel ME and AMD PSP for example)

If its required, how the fuck did “A Million Little Pieces” get published?
Also, I could just Kindle Direct Publish it… whatever… its not like I care that much about money, I just want my story to be heard.

How important is “proof”?
Like how do I “prove” my story?
Do they just get a private investigator to investigate me?
How about like sibling abuse? How am I supposed to prove that? Like it happens at home and there are no witnesses besides… well us… it’s a “he said she said” situation.
What about like events in another country that was born in and lived in for a bit of my early childhood.
Like…
Damn I feel like I’m gonna have to self-publish it and them nobody is gonna believe me…
Oh well…
I guess I’ll just have to feel like many of those victims that nobody ever believes…

Oh I mean it in a more sinister way.
Like altering your records of the past to gaslight you about what happened, make you doubt your memories.
“We’ve always at war with [East Asia/Euroasia]” type of thing
All official records revised, but now in this fully digitized surveillance state, your personal notes are also revised as well.

Fire? Never happened to the houses I lived in, seems kinda rare ngl (/joke)
But like you ever heard of Microsoft just yoink your files onto OneDrive then deletes your local copy? Then oopsie, ran out of storage, and you didn’t pay subscription, so your cloud is gone too…
I don’t think an evil arsonist can even do that much damage, deleting millions of files across the world.
