Er, yes, I know that there are celibate gays, and even homosexual people who have long term relationships with the opposite sex. Gay people have a choice. And what I was trying to say in my original comment is that I wouldn't care about gay people's choices if I didn't believe that gay lives matter.

If someone makes a statement you can easily determine is false, then that's just sarcasm or a joke. However, if they make a statement that you can't determine is true, then that is condescending, manipulative, and telling you what to think.
Holding yourself to only making statements someone can determine the truth of is a higher standard than just not lying.

No government has ever worked, and so it is absurd to think someone would ever agree a real life government is an ideal example of their personal ideology. It wasn't real Communism and it wasn't real Capitalism.
There is no shame in these claims. All governments thus far have left something to be desired; they left a gap. That's how political ideologies are able to continue to exist. That's why these conversations are so engaging.
Don't spend too much time looking up your own examples and reading the thoughts of people you will never meet. Instead, use some of that time to debate political ideology based on your own ideas, and the ideas of the people you argue with. It may be discussion "on paper", but at least you would be talking directly with the person rather than partaking in a proxy conversation.

I don't know what you mean by "hate."
But what I can tell you is that I detest the fact that I haven't yet met my own standards and I detest the fact that 99.99% of Americans are worse than even me.

In part 1 you ask why rape is immoral, and claim that it's because the rape victim might be sad about it. But that's not true at all. Rape is wrong because it requires another person's body in order to perform it, because the rapist doesn't get permission from the victim, and because it is almost always very easy to ask for consent from the rape victim before attempting to have sex with them.
It would still be immoral to rape someone even if they might be sad about it, and there are plenty of scenarios where someone might be sad about perfectly ethical things that were done to them.

You say DRM strategies are stupid, ridiculous, and don't make sense. You demand no prisons, and no limits on the consumption of digital media.
However I haven't seen any explicit statement about whether DRM would still be bad if the strategies COULD work. You don't seem to say anything about whether the pervasiveness of piracy or the ease of creating unauthorized reproductions are good things.
You talk so much about the status quo for what is possible, but I don't see any explicit statement about rights. Why is that? Won't you say whether the original producers of a piece of digital media have any right to dictate who consumes it? Won't you say whether the consumers of a piece of digital media have every possible right to reproduce it and redistribute the reproductions? Are you even capable of giving a normative justification for a value-for-value paradigm?

Something I've learned is that you shouldn't argue with stupid people. Or smart people either, it'll draw attention to your faulty assumptions about them and it'll make you look bad.
In fact, avoid acting against what people say in general. You don't understand the thought process of people who disagree with you, and you can't articulate your position in a way that can stand up to challenges.

Probably for the better. That way relays don't have to worry as much about storing child pornography or other legally dangerous data.

I don't know the whole story for why GPU passthrough is hard to do with Qubes, all I know is that GPU processing is important for my own setup.

2024-10-04 21:36:48

- reply

Not everyone has the same job, hobbies or other lifestyle choices.
Perfect "op-sec" can always be achieved by simply abandoning the "operation". We can avoid a record of every location we visit being associated with us by giving up on mobile networking. We can avoid a record of our purchases being associated with us by giving up on online shopping. And we can avoid our computer being used against us by giving up on running its CPU.
The true point of security measures like using Qubes should be to achieve comparable security WITHOUT abandoning things essential to our preferred lifestyle. Even just the fact that playing a mildly GPU intensive game has to be done without Qubes is a huge privacy and anonymity roadblock in my eyes, even before looking at anything else.
But even if someone transfers all their games via one-way disposable flash media to the dedicated gaming PC they keep locked up in a faraday cage, or even if someone scoffs at anyone who uses GPU processing for their job or their entertainment, I believe that there are still info-sec considerations even when merely posting text online like you are doing.
I believe that the final front of the personal information war is profiling. That means browser profiling, voice profiling, writing style profiling- you name it. I'm not worried about the "harvest now, decrypt later" paradigm of quantum encryption cracking, but rather a harvest now, profile later approach to human generated information.
We've already seen low stakes examples of how this can start to become relevant to people's privacy and anonymity. Just take Mark Robinson as an example. Idiosyncrasies like Mark Robinson's tendency to refer to a "frog's fat ass", or my own tendency to type "decisionmaking" as one word are things that any random reporter without training data can recognize. But what happens when machine learning models start getting involved? At that point the only way to defend yourself against profiling is to run the information you want to put out through your own machine learning model in order to anonymize it. And have fun running that model without a GPU!
I believe that when someone is defending their freedom, it's important to pay special attention to scoundrels like Mark Robinson and myself. For it is against us scoundrels that oppresive tools are first aimed.

2024-10-04 11:51:46

Our right to secrecy comes from our ability to choose not to give away our secret information in the first place. The ultimate standard for privacy tools and techniques are ones that meet this standard of protection, that require no trust at all.
There is no technology that meets this standard for IP addresses. At least Tor has decentralized trust, allowing for some compromised actors without allowing IP information to be correllated with website choice. However VPNs don't meet this standard. A VPN requires centralized trust, just like a raw internet provider or a regular proxy service.
It doesn't matter how "trustworthy" an actor seems to you personally and emotionally; the fact that they can correllate your IP address at all, and the fact that trust is required in the first place is a red mark, and makes the service inferior to what it ought to be.

I'm going to go against the grain on this one. Some topics are just really really difficult. Even if you have a few examples of a principal, it can be very hard to figure out a general rule. And even if a person comes up with abstract rules for how to accomplish a goal, it can often be difficult to realize all of the most important ways that that rule should be applied. And that's not to mention, even if a person is great at a task, that doesn't mean that they will be able to articulate why, or teach others how to be good at the task as well. Personally I think there are some topics that nobody on Earth is qualified to write a book on.
If you aren't confident, then there's no need to share your thoughts with others, no matter how important the topic. But then again, if you ARE confident in your beliefs, or your actions depend on others, then I don't even care if you are wrong; I want to hear what you have to say.

I've seen Silent.Link before, but I wasn't able to find anything on the site about how the IMEI of one's device is handled. As I understand cellular connections, it's not possible to connect to the network without an IMEI, even with a fancy roaming service. From what I've seen, the main appeal of Silent.Link is hiding phone numbers for security purposes rather than secrecy. Please correct me if I'm wrong! I would love to be able to determine whether this is the case!

Besides, even if we were living in a bizzaro alternate universe where I am wrong about something, it's really dumb to expect me to ever admit it if I realize. The only reason I ever talk with people is to test them to figure out why they are wrong. Trying to change their mind would be super insecure and naive.

It really doesn't make a difference. You can use a mobile subscription for only data and you will still need a [S]ubscriber [I]dentification [M]odule to make sure the subscriber has actually paid. And even if you didn't have a SIM card, or swapped in a new one every 5 minutes, your physical SIM card slot would have the same IMEI being shared with the mobile provider.
Though this information is all pretty much useless by itself. If you use HTTPS then your mobile provider can't see anything you do on the websites you visit. If you use a VPN then they can't see the websites you visit at all. All you are to them is a dot on a map. They won't even have your name if you don't explicitly give it to them when buying a phone and mobile plan from them.
