      It still sounds so insane. Imagine it being illegal for us two to share some public keys. It’s like banning fundamental maths

      Well okay then, use steganography.

      Secure Space Encryptor (https://paranoiaworks.mobi/) is one that I know and they have source code published, although I personally don’t understand coding so I can’t guarantee how secure it is, but its been out for like a decade and I haven’t heard anything bad about it, and its on F-Droid.

      They won’t know you are secretly sending an encoded “ATTACK AT DAWN” message hidden inside the cute cat photo. (I mean unless they just shut down the entire communications infrastructure and even ban mailing stuff, which is unfeasible because of the economy)

        They’ll use ai to do pattern matches on available data to assassinate leaders of dissent or those capable of organizing resistance. Knowledge of encryption is uncommon enough of a population to be an acceptable cost.

    Civillian use of Drones.

    I’m very certain there’s gonna be a 9/11-like terrorist attack involving drones and then governments all around the world are gonna get extremely paranoid and just ban it unless you get a special permit that only big corporations can get.

      I’m honestly surprised we haven’t seen an assassination by drone from a nonstate actor yet. It’s cheap, would subvert many of the protections aimed at stopping shooters, and security likely wouldn’t react in time or have the equipment to effectively stop it.

        I’m honestly surprised we haven’t seen an assassination by drone from a nonstate actor yet.

        There was the 2018 Caracas drone attack. Though that one is somewhat muddy in whether it actually was an assassination attempt or a false-flag attack done by the government itself.

          That is interesting. I bet it was a legitimate attack, but the government’s attempt to cover up their embarrassment (particularly the fleeing “guard”) has muddied the water, as any cover-up will do. I must have missed that one at the time.

          If they went and lived in some remote mountain village or something I wouldn’t mind.

          But they claim all of this while driving without a licence or insurance. Would you be as sympathetic to their cause if they hit your car and cause serious damage?

          I sort of understand their point but they’ve also been unimaginably selfish and entitled and that’s the part I can’t get behind. Also every single one of them is, without fail, an utter moron.

          Not exactly, there are some requirements but if they’re met (you commit an offense, or in high suspicion, e-bike controls), and you can’t show ID it’s a fine

          …in that you can go to prison for expressing support for proscribed terrorist organisations as determined in UK law, and “Palestine Action” recently became one of them. For the avoidance of doubt, I tell you this purely for information and warning purposes only, and to help you, if you’re British, avoid ending up in prison for expressing support for the proscribed organisation “Palestine Action”.

          Also to be clear: personally, I don’t know much about that organisation beyond what’s clear from their name and that they recently became proscribed.

          Don’t for a minute think that that doesn’t include anonymously online. It absolutely does include what you write on the internet. It also includes (with lesser sentences) wearing clothing that supports a proscribed organisation or posting a picture of such clothing online or in print.

          Historically there never was a right to free speech in the UK, although that changed somewhat with the introduction of the European Convention on Human Rights (which we helped draft post war and which has been extended since), but it is definitely illegal in the UK to express support in any way, including online, for proscribed terrorist organisations.

          You can read more about the 84 proscribed organisations and sentences of up to 14 years in prison here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/proscribed-terror-groups-or-organisations--2/proscribed-terrorist-groups-or-organisations-accessible-version

          The list includes organisations assessed by the UK government as terrorists, such as a lot of Islamist organisations, some far right groups and a handful of separatist movements.

          Offenses include being reckless as to whether you might encourage others to support a proscribed organisation. So be careful about what you say and how you say it. Consider carefully whether you might encourage support for a proscribed organisation and don’t do that.

            Fun fact: if the website you’re visiting includes a free font hosted by Google, the website and page you were accessing are sent to Google alongside your IP address. Google assert that they don’t use that data to personalise your ads, but they don’t mention not using it for other purposes as far as I recall, and Google also dropped their “Don’t be evil” motto. At first I found that funny (who proposes that in a meeting and how do you come to agree to drop not being evil?!), but increasingly I realise that it wasn’t just an absurd decision but a serious policy shift.

    In the US: Not wholly illegal but I predict erosion of the 4th amendment under the guise of keeping the country safe. I predict the definition of a “reasonable” search and seizure will expand.

    Across the world: as someone else mentioned, encryption is going to start getting a lot more attention as well.

      Don’t be silly. The concept of being trans is a relatively new thing, by historical timelines. Fuck me, older black grandparents lived “Whites only” signs. I’ve seen them.

      F@g bashing was a legit sport when I was a teen. Jump dudes coming out of gay bars? Boys will be boys! And no one objected. What are you, a f@g?

      Two steps forwards, one step back. Rinse and repeat.

      And we ALL have to fight. Men had to fight to the death for labor rights, now they got a holiday, though we’ve forgotten what it was about.

      Fighting might mean your personal extinction. Pick a fucking side, pick up a rifle, be there when you’re needed and train. I train.

      That pic of me is not a fucking uniform. It’s not a “cool guy” pose. (But you gotta admit, it’s a great pic!) It’s actually ME, working to learn clothing and weather and arms and tool belts and ammo and whatever fucking works in the field. I strap on my AR and pistol, run and jump and sweat and shoot while shaking like a fucking leaf. It takes hard work and sweat. If anyone is on the fence about getting armed and trained, best time to plant a tree is now.

      Gonna let the red hats have a monopoly on violence? Nah. Not me. As for me and my house, we serve John Browning (Gun nerd joke, apologies. TWO WORLD WARS!)

      I should note; Had hell finding a pic of “liberal armed protestors”. Pic I found, meh, those guys aren’t looking too “practical”, let alone “tactical”. Didn’t used to be hard to find such pics. Huh. Make of that what you will.

      Final note if one wants to get strapped: PRACTICE IN ALL CONDITIONS. The slightest discomfort gets magnified 10x over a very short period of time when the going gets rough.

      (Sorry OP, just venting.)

        The concept of being trans is a relatively new thing, by historical timelines.

        The historical record for what we would now call transgender people goes back over 4,000 to Ancient Babylon. And that’s just the written historical record.

          Ah fuck, I knew someone would be around to pick on that.

          Trans rights in Western culture is a new thing we gotta fight for. Fuck me, gay rights is a relatively new thing we still gotta fight for. Didn’t read my post? Were you not around when gay marriage was a sticking point? Like, 15-years ago? I know goddamned well the concept has existed since we were monkeys.

          Your comment is a perfect example of why conservatives hate holier-than-thou liberals. Pick up a rifle or STFU.

          Yeah, we just called trans folk hermaphrodites or transexuals or some other words than we use now. Language has been fluid but the concept is not new. Hell, I grew up familiar with it and I was pretty naive.

            Hermaphrodites are a completely different thing. They are not trans, well I guess they could be but hermaphrodite is not what people used to call trans people.

        Poors will be priced out by insurance companies. A large auto manufacturer, probably Tesla will buy one of the enormous insurers and start by offering lower rates for self-driving. Many will sign up and the standard startup playbook will follow. Personal vehicles will become luxury items and then you will be required to subscribe.

        I wonder what the poor right will say when they don’t own their car anymore?maybe they will have f350 self-driving trucks too and it’ll be ok.

          I’m hesitant to call what they are doing owning anyway, re: their trucks. Most people who drive those idiotic money pits are so far underwater on their loans I only have pity for them. I know people who have taken out 8 year loans on 70-80 thousand dollar trucks. Loans so high in interest and so long that they probably will never pay it off - to me the bank owns it 100%. I think most of them will gladly hand over their ownership if they can still feel “manly” by pretending their huge truck makes up for their own masculinity issues.

            It’s insane how much trucks have skyrocketed in price! My wife’s job occasionally needs a truck so we had considered one as our second vehicle years ago and ended up figuring it was cheaper to own a car counting total cost of ownership unless we used the bed/hitch more than 3 times a week and that was at 40-50k… it’s like they’re allergic to money.

              That’s my big thing. They always claim they need a truck to do truck things, but the vast amount of truck beds I see are empty. I don’t own a truck, but still need to do truck things sometimes. When I do I pay around 40 bucks to rent one for the day, do all my truck things, then return it. Idk, maybe I’m crazy but I’ve spent maybe a few hundred doing that, that seems like a better deal than 80k

                I’ll counter argue! Felt the same about these monster Barbie trucks here in the South. Working Lowe’s for a few months changed my mind a bit.

                Guys would pull in with these monsters hauling a trailer. And we would load hella rocks and boards. Laughed with the customer and lumber guy one night, “You gonna need to come back for the rest tomorrow!”

                But still, I get it. My wife’s Outback has a trailer hitch and I’m not afraid of pulling on it. Towed my boat home with a Mitsubishi Eclipse. Used to ride with the top down and a load of lumber in the back!
