I agree, this is bad logic. That said, that’s not what I hear from the current regime when I hear them talking about tariffs. What I hear is them thinking this will force countries to lower barriers to Americans doing business abroad. Once those barriers are lowered, tariffs are reduced or go away altogether. For the record, I do not think this is good policy, but the intent of the policy (at lease as I read it) isn’t to suddenly move all manufacturing back to the United States.

It was about the weaponization of the algorithm whereby China could incite Americans to act against the nation in a time of crisis or war.

I have a little pull in my group of friends. I’ve got 11 kids and I make them use Briar (SMS is removed from the phones) and so their friends end-up getting Briar and then their friends’ parents have also gotten it. So we have a nice little circle of people using it.

Is your employer matching some percentage of what you add to your 401k?

Is it possible to skip account creation by installing while not connected to the internet?

I’d consider using them if I didn’t need to use a phone number to register. My friends and family stick with Briar as a result.

I also sort by top six hours but subs related to my profession or religious traditions both get too much outside noise from folks who view posts by ‘all’ and feel welcome to flood subs with comments contrary to the intent of the sub. Active moderation could help but there’s just not good moderation under most subs.

IMO, as much as I dislike Reddit, moderation is terrible here and there’s some niche subs that cannot exist here because of the lack of moderation.

I normally stick with Firefox but, when there’s the need, I use degoogled Chromium.

It might be different with Tesla but most dealerships are independent from the company manufacturing the vehicles. Dealerships typically also run the service shop and have to carry their own insurance.

I wonder if those protesters vandalizing Teslas know this is their big opportunity? Insurance companies insuring auto shops are fewer in number and more selective than those serving the general population. If these trucks were damaged while waiting for repairs, we might witness insurance companies altogether dropping coverage for shops. Without insurance these places will find it difficult to continue existing.

People are saying don’t get an echo but this is the tip of an iceberg. My coworkers’ cell phones are eavesdropping. My neighbors doorbells record every time I leave the house. Almost every new vehicle mines us for data. We can avoid some of the problem but we cannot avoid it all. We need a bigger, more aggressive solution if we are going to have a solution at all.

I can’t watch an hour video. Anyone want to condense this for me?

Does anyone know if Blockada mitigates this problem on Android?

The best center-right news sources are behind a paywall. The crazy ones, those are free.

Get Heliboard and then download a gesture library such as this: https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/blob/master/app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libjni_latinimegoogle.so

Heliboard is on F-Droid.

That’s why I’m on Briar instead.

I’m a long time Solus user and am very happy.

You can add at a distance. You can also “introduce” two contacts to each other. There’s also forums and groups you can create or join.

My friends and family use Briar. It is without a question the most secure, most private option.
