Because “morality” is a mess (bible lol). Imho only ethics based on universal values and scientific understanding can yield good results. Anyway thanks to the replies I understand the convention to ask permission before taking pictures now. It might be obvious to you but it’s not obvious if you never been to a convention.

Yeah I think that (besides creeps) is the best explanation. Cosplay is a form of art so the “creator” should have some artistic control over it. Otherwise I’d argue “well if you get up on a stage to shine, you’re giving implicit consent”. But one can’t be constantly “on stage”.

Wait “consent before you take a picture of somebody”? You have to ask first before photographing someone else’s cosplay in the US? I thought the laws in US allow taking pictures however you like, without consent required. I’m just curious about the legality in the US, in some European countries there is such a thing as “expectation of privacy”.

Obviously keep your hands off.

Nice! I want to build a rack too but want to fit a regular ATX board to fit older / cheaper hardware. So it has to be at least 304mm wide, probably 400mm

Fascists believe in inequality based on identity, so how could they ever feel betrayed by Trump doing outrageous things? They are DELIGHTED the more outrageous Trump acts, because he is their glorious king they wish they could be. They go “Oh gawd did you see what our leader did? I wish I could do that too!”. He’s their golden idol. All he has to do is keep promising them inequality in their favor.

Hey, next time you go to a protest just glue your government ID card to your forehead. See how secure that feels lol

The thing is that capitalism is incredibly INEFFICIENT in providing value to society. In a planned economy you could (theoretically) have rational though to maximize benefit for all - in capitalism it’s just grow grow grow. That is why we’re digging so many superfluous ditches. How many roads, how many ditches could be spared if we just build less idiotic sprawling suburbs? If we had a rational, democratic and semi-planned economy?

There is this study that we’d only need 30% of the energy and resources we currently use to provide decent standards of living for every single person on earth.

Of course you’re right, just “doing socialism” won’t get us there easily either.

Fascism is capitalism in decay. It’s what you can sell right now. A modern definition is “moral belief in inequality based on identity (race / gender)”. This is what is selling right now because the dream of prosperity with liberalism is over. Shit’s bad. So that is what the propaganda channels have been churning out, on on fox, on social media, on youtube for younger audiences. Ultimately the reason is greed for money / priviledge by people without scruples.

It’s only going to get worse from now on.

Look closely - how does she still looks good for people. She just dedicated her Nobel price to Trump. It might just be conspiracy lol.

It’s also indisputably true that the US sponsored coups and engaged in economic warfare for over 20 years, and Machado is right there working with the US against Venezuela. How is that peace? So, how DOES she look good? Is it something with your eyes? Or maybe with the words you read that you allow to program your mind? Like brainwashing? Like, how even the Nobel committee thinks she is a good person? How can people have a good opinion with her?

And more importantly, how can you have a democracy when people are this brainwashed? How do you defend against it? How should Venezuela defend itself against this hybrid war?

Obviously not. Think about supply and demand. Because a toxic product is being hailed as secure there isn’t enough demand for an actually anonymous and private messenger. So calling signal “secure” is just helping state security.

If you actually want to message about revolutionary (illegal, “terrorist”) activity and don’t want to be traced immediately by an agent of state security or an informant, Signal offers nothing (unless you use criminal activity like identity theft). In such a case a warrant will obviously be granted and they can immediately find and arrest you.

Can you see the logic how Signal isn’t secure at all for an actual dissident?

Just let it happen

Thanks. I’d already be happy with updating/mutable v2 torrents for browsing static websites via hashkey.

A regular captain of industry for whom the automatic searchers of his zero-privacy messenger is one step too far lol

And they are pro Gaddafi too, that old socialist terrorist, going on about his “red book” when he clearly was just a fascist! How can they be against killing scum like that?

There can be no security without privacy and a central server that can be extorted. But keep lying if you like.

plans in the EU to allow messengers to have backdoors to enable automatic searches for criminal content

Tankies bad

Try to think a bit before you post

Lol, just accept the enemy’s framing of the issue. Your life will be so much more serene!

Signal is considered one of the most secure messengers.

I mean lol, they require a phone number to sign up, which you can only get with an ID in many countries. You chat with a gestapo officer and they know where you life.

Signal IS GARBAGE. Fucking garbage article, gaslighting bullshit. Fuck this timeline. Honestly this article is fucking terrorism.
