Fun fact. Someone who allegedly tried to shoot Queen Victoria actually loaded his pistol with tobacco and not a bullet, because he only wished to frighten the queen instead of kill her.

The danger of nuclear weapons isn’t even the explosive power. It is actually the fallout and radiation it releases.
Nuclear winter is a real thing.

This is the main driver behind gun control in Canada post 2020. They keep saying they need new laws to honor the 14 young women shot dead in 1989 but in reality they stopped giving a fuck about all shooting victims a long time ago. They know it is going to get so bad that a landlord or corrupt politician is going to get shot and they want to forbid as many firearms as possible.
The fact that some European countries are loosening up some restrictions to train their populations to shoot in light of Russian aggression should tell you that an armed populace absolutely has some deterrent effect. Not against air strikes, but against ground invasion. In Canada the army will not hold up for long against a US invasion, but they will fail in the long term against armed resistance. Carney even floated the idea of an armed resistance force, but he is still passing as many privacy violating laws as possible and sharing as much information as possible with both US governmental agencies and corporations. meaning if a US invasion happens the Americans will have a ready made list of all Canadians who might resist or have firearms permits or experience with the military or demolitions. We would be royally fucked.

I got a Google pixel 10 just so I can have GrapheneOS as soon as possible. I am glad that Google’s plans to lock down Android are blowing up in their faces.

This is why new laws are being passed to verify ID on a hardware level. They know the enshittification has progressed to the point that people are starting to break away. They want to put a halt to that by any means necessary.

- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 3 weeks ago:
I just got a pixel 10 the moment I heard that Google wants to lock down android and I didn’t want to waste any time. I paid off my Samsung s23 and before even loading my Sim I installed grapheneOS.
I had a motorola G5 before my Samsung but it broke.
At least my Samsung is still intact. I can’t wait to format it and load a prepaid if I need a travel phone.
- Comment on "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens 3 weeks ago:
Mass surveillance for advertising is just gross. I remember a comedian making a joke saying that ‘anyone here in advertising? Please kill yourself!’ Also just because someone got all the info on your for advertising, it doesn’t mean the government won’t get access to it, because right now 4th amendment and other traditional restrictions on government overreach are moot if all they need to do is buy the data from some broker on you. This has actually happened and it was upheld in court.
The precedent for stuff like that is older than you think, but also not what you think. For example some serial killers and serial bank robbers were caught because some homeless person searched through their trash looking for something they can use, eat, or sell (all of these things are legal to do BTW) and they discover things like body parts, firearms, or brand new clothes that also fit the clothes that said criminal was wearing when they did their crimes, and said homeless people reported this to the police.
But I am quite confident that someone who just so happens to stumble upon something vs. a company watching your every move are two very different things.

I tried to do it in the more advanced way, but I had never done anything like that before and I consider myself moderately technical. I used a simpler bootloader to get Frankel (the latest grapheneOS for Pixel 10. I have a basic Pixel 10, not the pro or fold) installed. I was apprehensive, but it seemed to go on fine. I am able to sandbox any google shit I do need (and it isn’t much) and I was able to get whatsapp with my old shit on it because my family is still using it for reasons. I am using K-9 as an email client for my gmail, which does help (or so I was told) limit the amount of information google gets on my usage when I check my email.

I just got grapheneOS on my new phone (it is a google pixel 10, but it is the one that can handle that…) I needed a client to use my gmail which will probably be the last thing I get rid of.

The reason why shooting people was too difficult is because many of the einsatzgruppen members broke down psychological and some became so murderous that they might not have been refit to reenter civilian society. They used gas chambers because it was sufficiently distanced from the actual act of killing (it just involved rounding people up into a room and having some guy with a canister dump the stuff into a vent. None of the actual killers even had to see the results of their actions as the cleaning was done by another group) that they could do it without creating that same problem.
