This. I recommend reading Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent. Or, you could watch the movie

The US is not anti immigrant.

There’s a few greedy white people with lots of money who bought the media and the elections who are anti-immigrant.

Don’t confuse policy with popular sentiment.

Neither is sufficient. Both are necessary.

Again, sew it shut with webbing. But you can use super glue in a pinch. That should keep your asshole shut

I bought one of these once. Dumped them all out and wrapped in packaging tape. Its super small and a lifetime of needles. I break maybe one every other year.

If you ride a bicycle and keep getting holes in your ass, I recommend patching with webbing. Think seatbelt material.

You can buy a roll of it from Johanns. They sell it for weaving the seats of outdoor chairs.

I prefer a floss container. Bonus, you get floss for thread.

Doesn’t fit in my backpack tho

“I can literally kill hundreds of animals per year and roll coal in my truck because its someone else’s problem”

“Also I don’t know the difference between ‘necessary’ and ‘sufficient’”

Us traveling kids just use floss for thread. Works great.

Welcome home, fam.

Nah, Half of the credit unions in the US use online banking software that uses TOTP for 2FA.

My bank in EU does not, so I have to have a physical hardware token to generate OTPs, due to broken regulations

Yes and no. Most firmware this is impossible.

Don’t install gapps. And ffs don’t use banking on insecure devices anyway

Exactly.

When I was tasked with buying laptopa for a company, I made sure to test Linux compatibility on every machine. If the model didn’t support Linux, we didn’t buy it.

Most of the devs were windows users, but there were enough devs and sysadmins that preferred Linux that it just made more sense to only buy hardware that supports both windows and Linux. I’m sure a lot of tech companies have a similar policy (it’s one reason think pads are so ubiquitous)

Corporate pressure would never allow such lockdown in the market

Just sub what they said with “Graphene, Calyx, iode, etc” and its true

Which country?

The workaround has been around for as long as Android has been around: use AOSP and don’t use gapps

You’re describing Secure Boot. It happened years ago.

And, btw, the Android thing also doesn’t affect anyone without gapps. Chill out.

I dream about democracy.

You know, abolition of slavery, electoral college, and first past the post voting.
