they just can't help themselves as they see themselves above the regular public that needs to be educated. same can be said about the modern science community that has been thoroughly ideologically captured.

I feel nothing but schadenfreude.

I don’t understand this sentiment. Journalists are humans too, with their own opinions that invariably shape their work. That doesn’t invalidate all their work though, and it’s vital for a democracy to have a spectrum of opinions floating around, and citizens getting in contact with that spectrum.

Big newspapers and media outlets are the only institutions able and persistent enough to dig through things like the Epstein files. With them going down, we loose yet another guardrail, some more checks and balances.


They raised the heat too quickly and burned the frog. No worries they will temporarily reduce the heat until people are used to it to rise it once again just like people pretend now windows 10 is good.

>Wait, you're saying that using Signal or Telegram is compromising privacy?

How come after all these years even people here still don't know telegram by default has no end to end encryption at all making it worse than facebooks WhatsApp? At this point it deserves to be called telegram distortion field.


>so physical switches for the baseband are always best, though few devices support them.

If someone has the motivation to backdoor devices they can do the same with physical switches (that will still talk to software regardless). If anything adding a switch that does nothing is easier.

please tell me about the intricate politics of a phone booth. just because you can make everything political doesn't mean it is inherently political or doesn't make you look like a terminal online annoying loser when you try to compensate for your vapid personality outside of ideological dogma.

Phone booths are made by the phone company to increase the money they make, that's political. Phone booths are made with more or less shielding implying a greater or lesser danger to their occupant, that's politics. The ones at the airport have glass dividers while the ones at the lonely gas station at night are fully enclosed with thick glass. Different ones have different amounts of graffiti and different likelihood of being vandalised at any given time. You will find this correlates with demographics. Phone booths have disappeared as we all got portable phones in our pockets, but those phones also track us and some people might prefer the relative privacy of an impersonal phone booth, but can't because they no longer exist.

Thank you for providing a example to my comment

Flameshot is great! I also use it to capture different language text in images that gets piped into tesseract for offline OCR.

Emotional adhominen response to a factual argument isn't working outside of kindergarten or reddit

Just claim they have been mean on twitter and they will send a squad


Not any more, they have been rowing back from that.

Well deserved but little sad we don't get to see those slop games
