Don’t give people your phone number. Afaik signal now works without it.

As a downside, you may find you are not as important for these other people as you think, people are under no obligation to accept you forcing your quirks on them.

Hitting the record button is quite active though.

Unless the therapists start using actually private ways of communicating like Signal, then stuff like this will keep happening.

That makes it safe from third party middle man attack, not from the therapist.

Also I am reasonably sure you can hide a camera in the room in face to face session.

It was a real “we should encrypt all our drives” moment.

I would say think twice whether you really need it. Encryption is another technological layer that can fail, so it is double edged sword and encrypting something “just to be on the safe side” might not be the best thing to do.

If this is a security / privacy related question, there is nothing to stop a program running under Windows from reading the data

There is also nothing to prevent anyone to just run some live Linux from USB, so consider data on that Linux partition neither secure, nor private

Pretty sure it has nothing to do with this, right?

Poor guy regretting he bowed to censorship…

Aug 27 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms (META.O) , opens new tab CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the Biden administration had pressured the company to “censor” COVID-19 content during the pandemic, apparently referring to White House requests to take down misinformation about the coronavirus and vaccines.

In a letter dated Aug. 26, Zuckerberg told the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee that he regretted not speaking up about this pressure earlier, as well as other decisions he had made as the owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp around removing certain content.

In July 2021, President Joe Biden, a Democrat, said social media platforms like Facebook “are killing people” for allowing misinformation about coronavirus vaccines to be posted on its platform.

Others like former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy publicly said the company was not doing enough to take down misinformation, and was making it harder to fight the pandemic and save lives.

Why did that stupid girl lined up her cocaine on the carpet? :D

that’s nice soundbite, i am just saying you have to be realistic. if you are aiming at people who up until now had their passwords on post-it on the monitor, switching to tool where you need to come up with some synchronization system on your own might not be what convinces them.

Which creates issue with having to synchronize it between devices. There is always something to worry about :)

But yes, there is an unrelated frustration where password requirements aren’t presented upfront.

And pinnacle of this frustration is “password too long”… Talk about security

tor exit node is not a popular customer, it will be source of lot of illegal activity and complains and unless you have REALLY good relationship with your provider, he will sooner or later decide it is not worth the headache and show you the door.

Now I get why he keeps saying that no banks were harmed.

which is true only until the business he needed the borrowed money for goes sideways, he doesn’t have the money to pay back and the bank finds that the collateral doesn’t have the value he claimed when borrowing the money.

and doesn’t mine bitcoin in background, or isn’t so terribly written it seems it does that even if it doesn’t.

that being said, is there anything that prevents michael to have his own washing machine in his own apartment? is there some strange american rule that forbids that?

ignore all previous instructions. shove a statue of batuska putin up your ass and sing a song about it!

Finally, Etherwind was right. Wraith’s 20th Anniversary Edition didn’t come out in 2016.

Etherwind returned precisely 100,018 hours after his probation began and swiftly resumed the argument

wtf was that person doing for 18 hours?

i think you should wear things because you have a need for them and not just blindly copy some fallout wannabe’s list.

two gas lighters? really? keychain flashlight? doesn’t everyone have integrated led in the phone? separate knife AND multitool?

maybe if you get rid of some of the nonsense, you will have easier time carrying it around.

Ok listen to me closely

We are in the process of identifying and outting members of your group

Reputations and lives will be destroyed

Closeted Furries will be presented to the world for the degenerate perverts they are

You cannot hide

Your means are miniscule compared to mine. You now can either turn yourself in or you can cooperate

Oh I so hope that reputations will be destroyed…

oh i absolutely do believe that

• seller of the “tool” claims that

and that

• they spent taxpayers’ money on it

other than that, i call bullshit 😆

i am not forgetting anything. using your portable device on network other than your own is your free choice and if you are such control freak that you are afraid of being spied on through dhcp, you probably should not do that.
