That’s medium Russia

Even you were talking about the dad, why did the kid suffer because of the mom? He won’t be blind to their actions regardless

I don’t think the guy would be pondering on here about going if he didn’t love his kid and didn’t want to spend time with him.

True, but I’m curious how someone gained a banana phobia. Was it a Little Albert situation and they terrified her as a baby every time they showed her a banana or something?

Edit: she isn’t the only Swedish politician with a banana phobia. The hell is going on with Swedish bananas?

I’d say do it.

If anything, consider it a win that your kid loves you enough to insist on you going. It could even be a sign that he sees what she did as wrong. Kids aren’t dumb. I can tell you I liked my mom more than my dad in part because he cheated on her. Most likely he just wants to go to the Maldives, but he really really just doesn’t want to go with them. Going with you could be his own sense of justice in all this.

I’d say make sure he can stay with you tho instead of them. I get the feeling that’s what he wants.

Childcare… Of his own son?..

You know parents who, you know, love their children, actually want to spend time with them, right?

Nah, shadowheart. You know the Catholic Church likes converting people.

Everyone saying Henry but this is definitely Tom

Like GNU Linux Image Enhancement Manager

How many amendments?

Has this guy made a pact with Satan or what?

Well, we have a pandemic and 2 growing wars, so if a major famine occurs next, definitely a maybe

Afraid not, because 7 8 9.

On desktop, you can use Waydroid on Linux to run it.

But yeah, iOS would be out of luck. Then again, Apple doesn’t really spy on you like Google does, at least. Best option is still something like GrapheneOS or /e/ of course.

My mistake, you’re technically right. Thanks for the correction.

I haven’t used Matrix or XMPP in awhile, but when I did I had apparently set up some sort of localized server-relay thing, which was more experimental and defeats the purpose of the post (not easy to use, and was buggy sometimes).

Fluffy Chat I still gotta investigate more now, but I remember I used Unified Push rather than Firebase Cloud.

Either way, Molly might be the easiest solution.

Primarily; I just refuse to be intimidated by the extremists. It’s fine to take reasonable steps to protect yourself; but don’t completely force yourself into any kind of isolation because you feel it protects you; that’s exactly what THEY want.

I mean, in non technical terms, I basically stated to cosplay as a pirate if you catch my drift. No need to not shun media in the meantime.

I actually disagree that media habits will be collected or targeted. It’s easy to defeat at least the overt tracking at least on Netflix using uMatrix or uBlock Origin; and I’ve done it myself.

Media habits are already collected, and targeted. They just aren’t used by fascists yet.

You also can’t use uBlock on a smart tv.

You should be reasonably safe, and fine, using a major streaming service; as the fee to use them can easily be paid by privacy respecting means. (AKA scratch-cards purchased with either cash or crypto currency)

Netflix streams aren’t privacy encrypted. Doesn’t matter how to pay, it can still be very easily linked to you via your internet provider. And Netflix would still have a profile built around that account.

Don’t recommend Waterfox as it’s less secure than either Mullvad or Librewolf. It also still has npapi support which is definitely not a secure thing to do.

I removed Matrix and Fluffy Chat from the recommendations, due to the encryption issues until I can look into it.

Just for clarification tho, Matrix and XMPP are not social media networks - it runs local on your phone, and if deleted from the phone, your account is deleted too. So how many fascists are using Matrix doesn’t matter if you’re not hanging out with fascists. You have to invite and know the people you’ll be messaging, and if you want a large group, someone has to self host the Matrix instance on your own.

I don’t recommend Signal because it requires a phone number, and not all Voips (especially privacy voips) work with it . They’re also based in the USA and contain proprietary blobs. I think they’ve only had the protocol audited as well.

If you really want something like Signal (that’s also not on the Play Store btw but F-droid instead) then Molly is a fork I’d recommend:

They hid the Manhattan project really really well, if you’ve ever looked into the history.

But any knowledge on how modern triggering works on them I’d imagine would be kept a state secret wouldn’t it? I don’t think it’s something you’d want others to know.

Doesn’t that depend on how they’re set up? I’d imagine in the 50+ years since they’ve been invented they would have designed it so it could, specifically because modern anti missile defenses exist.

I mean, I know world governments can be dumb, but I would imagine they’re not that dumb as to bother maintaining a key super weapon just to not upgrade it / design it so that it won’t work if used.
