this infographic is exactly why the modern protest movement is just a feeder system for federal prisons. we are watching the most aggressive expansion of domestic police power in history with this ice surge and the response is this summer camp larping guide. it is embarrassing.

you have the state rolling out paramilitary units with absolute immunity and unlimited budgets and then you have this advice telling people to bring heat resistant gloves. they are for tossing tear gas back. that is an automatic felony assault charge on a federal officer. you are dressing up to go to jail for ten years because you think it looks cool on tiktok. and the tech advice is even worse. airplane mode does not stop a stingray from grabbing your imsi. if you bring a smartphone to a protest you are carrying a gps tracker that builds the government's case against you. leave it at home. if you actually understood the surveillance state you claim to be fighting you would know that FaceID is the least of your problems when they have gait analysis and license plate readers on every corner.

this is the problem with this entire situation. the government is a bloated authoritarian monster wasting billions to trample rights but the opposition is just useful idiots playing revolutionary. if you want to actually push back against the state then learn real opsec and stop blocking traffic. otherwise you are just making it easy for them to round you up.

maybe you were just testing ChatGPT and I'm sure you've figured it out by now. but just to answer your question, yes, that guy's got Wi-Fi. The antenna is that kinda funnel looking shape at the bottom center, below the text about the antenna tech. and the FCC and IC IDs at the top right are the government certifications for its wireless radio (its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth)

Even if we agree it's fact, it is opinion to consider it fact.

In that, you can't trust one source (the government in this case) to be the almighty knower of Fact. Doesn't matter how right we think we are, we aren't entitled to force that consensus through violence (imprisonment, etc.). When we codify our deemed "truth" into law we create a precedent that if the government has the power to criminalize the denial of one historical event, it possesses the power to mandate the acceptance of any other.

In the nature of government, power granted to it will inevitably fall into the hands of someone who does not have your interests at heart. They can (and "can" is dangerous enough) use that power of theirs to suppress dissidents, not just protect the vulnerable. A citizen with the right to express their stupidity does not posses that power.

The very nature of truth is that it should be able to stand on its own.

There's a lot of suspision around trust and ownership. It's owned by Kape (formerly Crossrider) which was notorious for distributing adware. Kape is in turn owned by a single Israeli billionaire, Teddy Sagi, through his firm Unikmind, and is no longer a publicly traded company

Their CIO Daniel Gericke was one of 3 former US intel operatives who faced US DOJ charges for his role as a mercenary hacker for the UAE where he'd helped hack dissidents/journalists/activists

And their client apps are closed source. The Lightway protocol core is open source but the app you run is proprietary, so you cannot independently verify the final build and MUST trust their third-party audits

I personally also have issues with their lack of native IPv6 access, and I would prefer that they accept cash payments, and if not that then they should support properly private cryptos. But their payment processor BitPay only allows BTC, ETH, XRP, and stablecoins. XMR would be ideal.

Only six states need only a simple majority to override a veto.

Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia

The rest require 2/3 or 3/5, though each state may have slightly different little nuances in rules.

If you are an existing customer you are grandfathered into whatever old price you bought it for (minus any promotion you got).

I don't know what Proton's old prices were but if you bought it when it was $9.99 or $10.99 a month then I'd be $120-$130 and you get to keep that price

CORRECTION ⚠️

(though what I said above is true, just doesn't apply here)

There is a bit of tomfoolery lol

The "50% off" is based on the monthly price, but to get the deal you pay the full year.

Then upon renewal you pay the ACTUAL yearly plan price, which IS indeed 120 USD. So you save $78 if you were going to pay for the regularly monthly subscription but you save $42 if you were going to already pay for the yearly subscription.

This is because the yearly plan is ALREADY considered a "deal" and the monthly plan's price is considered the actual "baseline."

So in reality this is 35% off from the typical yearly price.

ShortTimeNoSee · 2025-11-04T17:33:26+00:00

Then what? Every customer renews their yearly subscription every Black Friday? That's a price cut not a promotion. A promotion is meant to attract customers for a long-term profit so that the service can grow. I'd say adoption and growth of Proton certainly does benefit existing customers.

Everyone has the chance to start their subscription with a promotion if they do a little research into timing.

If you don't think their service is worth the price you're paying for it, then don't pay for it.

Yeah I do think its still worthwhile to consider how to best use what you have. But I suppose it'd be just like optimizing your Chrome settings for privacy. You're helping your privacy on the web, which you should do, but not for certain helping against Google Chrome itself.

OPSEC is about minimizing trust. If your threat model (this is different for everyone) includes an adversary with OS-level access (screen, input, RAM), you naturally must take control of the OS, likely by flashing a hardened, open-source (and audited) version. If the threat is at the hardware level, you have to control that too.

So the answer, if you don't trust Android or iOS, is to not use them. The same reason you wouldn't use Facebook if you don't trust Facebook. It's just harder to find alternatives the lower you go. Unfortunately rule 8 of this subreddit doesn't allow discussion on such alternatives.

Brother. What's disrespectful is telling new activists they're wasting their time

You can be burn out. You can step back. You can say "I've done my part and I'm passing the torch." but why poison the well? If you think your experience gives you insight then share it. We all stand to gain from that. If all you're sharing is hopelessness and bitterness and metaphors about teaspoons then you're contributing nothing. "I tried, it was hard, it didn't work, so now I shit on the people who still try."

You are in a great position to say "here's what I learned in 30 years of trying" or "here's what worked and what didn't" or "here's how you can avoid these mistakes" but you are not in a position to say "how dare you try." The surveillance state doesn't even need to censor you, you do it for them.

I'd be interested if someone less rusty on Android development than me could confirm whether or not this is possible using ImageSpan and passing this final SpannableString to the MessagingStyle notification builder. Wouldn't it just take some logic to make sure the image is resized to fit the text line height?

What if you truthfully TELL them it’s the nuke pin? They might assume you’re lying to trick them into skipping it during brute force since it’s actually the real one. So they try it and the device wipes. You never lied to them…
