This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
for the new people to the linux communtiy, the reason behind the CW tag, is because Lunduke is not a trustworthy source, he's not in it for the love of journalism but for the love of pushing agenda.. and he speads propaganda, cherry picks his facts, and straight out lies about what people said or could have meant
you know how to know you're listening to false narratives .... well.. most of the time it makes you feel triggered or angry...
I just put the CW in because he's very culture warrior-y and didn't want to bother anybody who wouldn't want to watch it. AFAIK he's reliable when it comes to facts, but of course culture war stuff is sprinkled through a good portion of his tech stuff. This particular video is pretty culture war free and just focuses on the conference and AI.
AFAIK he's reliable when it comes to facts
he does have some facts, he only shares the ones that suites his narrative, what kind of journalism is that?! journalism is about following the truth no matter where it goes.. but he doesn't do that, he just misquotes people and say : "see, they said that, what awful people"
for example, in a recent video he made about the EFF he said that they support kids looking at porn, but off course they never said that, they said they're against ID'ing people who watch porn, because that's a serious threat to online anonymity..
Also in a recent video about the EFF he literally made statements they never made, it was so obvious that one of his loyal conservative fans called him out on it
surprised he didn't shadowban this comment, quot
............. My default position is that any software-based organization is going to be run by libtards, but your accusations simply don't line up with the articles. "If you have the wrong politics, you should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, that's their repeated stance they've stated over and over". Links please "If you're a Republican ... and happened to be standing outdoors on that day, you should be in jail. That's the EFF's stance." Again, links please"
to Lunduke as long as he's getting push back from the left leaning individuals in these groups, then he must be on the right path, that's how bias works not truth
And for those of us that have no idea what CW means...?
CW : Content warning TW : Trigger warning
Oh ok thanks!
Everyone would be better off if someone cut Lunduke’s and Microsoft’s RJ46 cables
That’s an odd way to spell neck.
i am generally a calm person in public until I'm triggered by a surveillance drone or police helicopter. I am only angry in public when i feel like I'm being watched. this will not bring out my best behavior. in fact it will do the opposite. i will scream and tear down everything in my vicinity if i feel i am being spied on.
If you have an Android or Apple phone, there is likely a whole collection of backdoors to any taste (no, every eye looking at the sources won't notice a backdoor ; people are not stupid, backdoors are not obvious ; and also your phone's firmware is a binary you've downloaded from their update servers, you haven't seen the source it has been built from) allowing special services to install spyware to it. Maybe not from Google or Apple themselves (which I wouldn't trust either), but below the chain (no, you don't necessarily need sources for that), does that really matter? The difference with desktops is that people tend to make choices about security there, bigger chance of failure.
I mean, there should be a reason governments are fine with popular and easy E2EE when it requires to login on such to use it even on desktop. Like WhatsApp, Signal and what not. That is, we don't see them sabotaging, killing, prosecuting, forbidding or otherwise preventing the other kind, but we also don't see black holes in astrophysics. It doesn't mean we can't say with high certainty this happens.
An analogy. Humans prefer to eat behind a table from dedicated dishes using dedicated cutlery. Despite them being able to eat on foot and that being available in more places. Just like that humans would prefer to text others when they don't have other distractions and with a faster and healthier (for your hands) input device, like a normal keyboard. If most people don't do that, there must be pressure. If we can't determine its nature, it's likely masqueraded. If it's masqueraded, then it's a power interest.
TLDR smartphones are a conspiracy. Conspiracy theories are usually bad because people assume conspiracy before more probable reasons. Not the case here. A few supercorps and their pyramid-shaped ecosystem allowing spying on levels unprecedented in history are very likely to have conspiracies.
Also yes, I've lost my mind, but in this comment the part indicative of that is that it consumed time to type in order to exist where nobody cares and not its content.
