  • Not sure I follow the problem here. Is it easier in the countries you are in to get blocked for using vpns? I mean if the goal is to access games and stuff i would just use a good vpn , mullvad is the only one i still have good trust in.

    Start using onion sites for sensitive stuff. If you use a always on vpn , then you dont have to worry about state actors seeing that you are using tor.

    The thing you really should watch it for is your phone. If you can the best is to use a phone without sim card and with GOS on it, preferably with a broken papertrail and no sim card use previously. If you need internet on the go use a sim card in a travel router and connect that via vpn to your devices. But no tech solution would save you from user error of course.

    And use a secure email service , I use tuta wich never complaints about my vpn. Other stuff sure but i dont miss those sites. Good ones will lift any blocks if you ask.

    VPS is of course an option , but it does have the downside of not being able to blend in with the crowd.

    For the legal issues yeah UK is a bad option. But any EU country should be fine even if they in the eyes programme. Germany have decent privacy laws still. Iceland as well. But for me I just use another closer to home. I trust mullvad enough (and they dont know anything about me in form of payments or identification)

    And stop using services that blocks you. There are alternatives for a lot.

  • No i noticed you haven't read Lenin , he had a few things to say about imperialism. So before you try to define what a Leninist is , or more specifically what a Marxist Leninist is you should read it. Or maybe just see what the people in Donetsk have to say for it.
    Even if you are a liberal who always are against all wars except the current one, supports any liberation forces unless they actually isn't angels or have a proper gender diversity. I would give even you critical support if you did something worthwhile instead of just following CIA talking points. No one thinks Putin or Russia is anti fascist. They are however killing Nazis which is a whole lot better than yours both side argument that always are de facto support for the status quo.

    Again why do you know better than the people in Donetsk and rest of eastern Ukraine that rather see themselves as part of Russia and see Russia as liberators that stopped the genocide there?

    Perhaps you should be less smug and actually do a deeper analysis of the situation that led to the war? If you did you would quite clearly see that the people of Ukraine are suffering from western imperialism and the war that the west started. And if you actually had a backbone you would also see which side that you have a minicule possibility to effect. But I guess it's easier to have talkingpoints about orcs instead.

  • Of course it's not and I get your point , Russia sucks. However critical support against the western imperialism is wanted. if west gets their way they will take over. It's like a turf war all over the planet. Would you want a world were US imperialism and fascism stands unopposed? I wouldn't. I've rather have a balance of terror than just terror. Even if I don't like the players of this game which they so psychoticly enjoy playing with us. Besides that there is the fact that one side has a more expansional agenda than the other one.

  • It's not about Ukraine , that's just the playing field. The west did a coup to use Ukraine to move position east, there would not have been a war at all if that was not the case. People smarter than me have been warning about the coming war in Ukraine since the 90s

  • I'm quite experienced in Linux but I wouldn't use either. Arch is great if you like to tinker, Ubuntu sucks for the not so libre approach , corporate ties, telemetry etc. I distrohopped before but today I just install my debian based distro and shit works.. Ubuntu I've installed twice before when I was new to Linux, and have had a major issues every time due to official updates that broke internet drivers and other things, that's a fun one when you only have one PC . Not to mention its so bloated that shitty computers that I like to thinker with it have a hard time catching up. The arch thing is also mostly a kind of meme, targeting the more unbearable nerds. People I hated when I was a noob (they will let you know you are) But they are found everywhere and in general I don't think there's more of those people in arch community than anywhere else. It's more of a stab at elitism than arch specifically.

    I see a point in arch but zero in ubuntu.

  • Indeed Artificial Intelligence (AI), including machine learning, autonomy, and related advances, ($655.23 million) investments will bring together numerous fields of scientific inquiry—including computer and information science; cognitive science and psychology; economics and game theory; education research; engineering and control theory; ethics; linguistics; mathematics; and philosophy—to advance the frontiers of trustworthy AI, including advancing perception, learning, reasoning, recommendation, and action in the context of specific fields and economic sectors. NSF investments are needed to develop new foundational AI theory and implementation techniques, as well as novel AI methods that are inspired by use cases in specific application domains and contexts.

  • Or just flash a clean rom. Was while since i debloated, a lot of trial and error, and not much gain. I dont know what phone you have but I'm quite sure there is something for most models. XDA forum is a good resource

  • Honestly what I do with my money is none of anyone else's business.

    There was a time when this was the norm. What have happened is that its gone so far that people feel it's not a big deal and are happy to have their data har harvested without a thought. It is however fucking extreme to hear for someone just a few decades ago.

    Go argue the privacy is bad to someone getting hormones or abortion pills. Or just shopping a book online and having Facebook match you, and your friends, up with your psychiatrist and sell all your data to highest bidder. Or get deported to an Ecuadorian prison.

    Feeling you are safe when your data and habits are with the government and corporations are a privilege. A fake notion as well, haven't considered the fact that any data collected are available for sale or theft?

    imagine the Nazis having all the information that exist on you , not even need to beat it out of you. Would be a lot different world then.

    I do crime for a lot of things, money included, it pays for some mutual aid here among other things. If I could get away with it I wouldn't think twice of breaking the law for many reasons in many scenarios. Fuck I admire the guys that broke in to the airbase in the UK and fucked up planes that is legally used to commit genocide.

    Legality is not a base for morality.

  • That's the stupidest thing I've heard in a while. Cash I assume is bad as well? You know those paperthingies that doesn't register when hands changes? Saying you don't care about privacy cause you got nothing to hide is like not caring about free speech because you have nothing to say.

    Also crime is a good thing sometimes. A lot of really bad things are legal on other side. And let's do a body count of all the crimes you can think of .
