She was a church-going catholic, wanted you to go too, but was living together before marriage (mortal sin), fooling around (mortal sin) and engaged to an atheist (not a sin in itself but frowned upon)? I mean yeah, just the sheer contradiction of these is a red flag, no wonder the girl ended up being messed up later on

True but a downvote magnet on Lemmy. But I would dispute the “benefit” part… What exactly is the benefit in not having to learn anything? Why would I even want to exist if not to be good at something and create something? It just seems like we’re building towards stuff that’s better than us at doing what WE want to do as a society. Thinking about chess here: why would I care about the best Stockfish moves in every line of my favorite opening if no one will ever be able to explain them?

Honestly, just erase all graded homework, papers included. All of it. It wasn’t even good at anything to begin with and we would just cheat off each other, but now it’s even worse.

Masks and shades are about as much as you can do without being the weirdo. It at least shields you from some of the less resource intensive threats such as other civilians trying to record you for social media, but real mass surveillance, like China level, will still work

Nice! Will start using. I ran out of Proton aliases this year and have been reusing some of them, which sucks. Thank you

People say it is because Proton has collaborated with the government, but it just hasn’t happened yet because Tuta isn’t big enough to warrant such a thing. There’s almost no way to prevent such a thing from happening with email providers, it just isn’t private communication at all

GrapheneOS is absolutely niche. You have to go out of your way to buy a Pixel (which in many countries isn’t even available), choose the bank that has a working app on Graphene, etc

In regards to addy, are my messages private in relation to the service or does it only serve to keep my anonymity to other threat actors?

How isn’t it possible? Just don’t give them phones, it’s not that complicated

Would stuff like Fedora be in danger, in this case? I couldn’t find if Red Hat was US based

Running the service itself over Tor is the only way to prevent local governments knocking on the admin’s door, though

Hard agree. Decentralization itself doesn’t really work against censorship, you need an additional layer of privacy, or, more ideally, anonymity. Is there a way of running a lemmy instance over Tor?

Can’t disagree here, this would be great

I don’t know about stopping entirely. I built a pretty cool RAG system for internal use in my company, it very much facilitates navigating very large amounts of text data.
