It’s a cheap Chinese made, it prints when I turn it on and that’s like every two months for the last 3 years. So I guess it’s good. I also only use it to print from linux or my phone.

I got a cheap Xerox laser printer, the toner is cheap and lasts forever.

I agree with you on some points here. The problem is that these crawlers are hostile to the point of DDOSing sites

So the problem is not that someone archives your public accessible data, the problem is that in doing so either breaks your site or makes you pay for the excess traffic.

I think the web is now broken beyond repair. The commercialisation killed it and the tech monopolies are all that’s left.

So I think small invite only fully encrypted enclaves are all that is left, until someone comes up with a “new Internet”, that can resist the " Techbros", but for now I don’t see that.

Also I don’t see the Fediverse as a solution, it’s just under the radar for now, but if it gets bigger it will be coöpted and sunk.

Exactly, people don’t understand that an Army is formed by removing internal resistance to orders.

So basically you can point the military at to something to kill and they will do it.

It’s the Two Santa Strategy, they have been doing that since Reagan.

Cuba was the original Epstein island under Batista.

The global crime syndicate that is capitalism never forgave the Cuban people for ending that.

She’s a Joe Rogan with a university degree.

Sadly I concur, every EU country is better in that situation than Germany.

It’s a combination of AI and stupidity. If these people knew what they were doing we would either be better or worse off, it’s a gambit.

This! It’s like having an outbreak of a long forgotten disease in this scenario, won’t end humanity, but not great either.

That’s basically how the bureaucratic class aka. the states middle management works.

The whole mobile ecosystem is a giant hardware backdoor on every phone. I think it’s too late now to change anything on that level.

I propose that the developers take turns to limit the exposition to whatever it is, that makes people go strange when they have to develop a filesystem.

Of course fungi are plants. They don’t move and grow in the forest.

They are also toxic. I’m suspicious of plants that want to kill me.

Bunkers only are useful if there is friendly territory behind them.

If you can’t call the police or your local warlord it’s a prison in the best case and an expensive tomb in the worst case.

Given what happend with that bar in Canberra, this won’t stay up for long.

Sorry but this whole thing is just snake-oil.

You can verify and sign your whole trust chain down to the last shared library and it doesn’t matter when you don’t know what the binary blobs on your TPM / CPU / BIOS / NIC are doing.

The only guarantee to a secure system is openness an all of that signing won’t help you there.

I don’t trust Microsoft, why should I start trusting IBM/Canonical or Poettering now.

If the possibility is there they will happily lock you out of your own hardware.

What about US cars? I guess it’s one adversary a time.
