Countries like Australia, Scotland, NZ, Germany have superior voting systems compared with the US “first past the post” system.

I would say a good proportion are enablers, probably because they are thinking of themselves as “temporarily embarrassed future billionaires”

Your point about demoralising the IRGC by killing their kids is interesting but is outweighed by the predictable public fallout and the resolve of IRGC to avenge the deaths.

Picking off leaders is one thing. Killing their kids is counterproductive.

No windows, therefore quiet, and good acoustics.

I don’t understand his point about restoring your messages to a new phone. How does that prove it isn’t encrypted? Couldn’t Telegram store the encrypted data on their server, send the encrypted data back to you and then you automatically decrypt it because you have the key?

I mean will I be able to install Graphene after the lockdown? Sorry if that is a naive question.

What about after the lockdown?

Do I have to install microg or graphene or whatever on my Google Pixel before that date or miss the boat?

Have been putting it off.

I had it cite a case which didn’t exist. It was perfect for what I was fighting (it tends to figure out what you want to hear then makes up stuff to satisfy you).

When I tried to search for a phrase from the case (hoping it just gave the wrong citation) it said there was no such case with that phrase.

I asked why it said there was such a case earlier. It confessed that AI sometimes hallucinates and promised to try better in future.

[edit: sorry I ended up on a tangent]

Lawyers are no guarantee. They are sloppy because they have no skin in the game, and they usually get paid regardless (although some have “uplift” fees which reward them for winning).

It is like hiring builders for your renovation. You still have to keep an eye on them and even tell them how to do their job, which of course is always a tense situation. If you develop a good relationship you can work as a team (requires a lawyer who is not insecure).

Best avoid situations which need a lawyer. Do not litigate lightly. There is no such thing as a watertight case. If you get a corrupt judge they can outright lie, there is no point appealing, and you can be gagged from telling anyone (even your wife, let alone a politician or journalist).

In Australia digital ID is not mandatory (though the government tried to make it so).

We were the first with these adult filters.

I don’t know if a system similar to Germany was proposed but there is a security problem with having all our data collated on a government server.

It is all bloated to track us and direct market to us. We have to upgrade hardware which is otherwise adequate just to assist their surveillance of us.

I am sure their algorithm will do the arithmetic.

You think denial of health care compares with denial of access to adult content?

KLAN

How would they be controlled though?

Indeed “thousands of km” is far fetched:

some of which are expected to be sent thousands of kilometers away while others remain in Moscow for further trials.

Upon reflection, I agree it is probably just propaganda. Should I leave the post up though?

The top comment here is making valid points casting doubt on its veracity. Isn’t that a good thing?
