I use biometrics to access some of the apps on my phone. But my home screen requires a password to unlock.

Living in australia right now. We still have a 2 party system, we still don’t have socialism. Still 99% of people you talk to will say communism works great in theory but in practice…

I wished preferential voting would have changed things, but it doesn’t.

Wait why is a working class party necessary in current capitalist systems when what we want is to overthrow the current governments and instate a socialist ones?

So real 😭

Yeah, my point was that it could be made better eventually it would be safe enough to use.

I could probably have my phone on airplane mode all the time and no one would notice, I never pick up anyones calls to begin with.

Public transport pretty much always works everywhere that isn’t a country town with like 5 people living there, and at that point you could just walk or ride around.

If there is low demand you can start with a small community bus, then increase the amount of buses and lines. Increase the size of the bus. Then maybe build a tram line etc…

I’m not saying your govenment will do this but it is almost always possible and faster, safer and more comfortable. Unless you really enjoy driving or prefer the privacy that it offers (debatable but still somewhat valid) in which case public transport and other viable alternatives to driving is still the only real way to reduce traffic for drivers.

I don’t have mullvadvpn but I use a different vpn that has obfuscation and I have tried every single setting within it but somehow some networks can still detect the vpn no matter what I try. I am not sure how they can do this.

At least by turning on airplane mode they cannot track your location.

Using public wifi with no protections is already pretty secure since most things are encrypted now days. Using a trusted vpn to encrypt all of your traffic makes it almost perfect, since no people in the same network as you can have the faintest clue as to what your doing.

edit: It’s probably not almost perfect but definetly far better than using mobile data.

Wouldn’t china be heading for a similar bubble pop like the US with there huge investment into ai?

Or perhaps they have actually found a large enough market to cover the cost of development.

Mildly unrelated point that I wanted to say here, ive found that I can now find the answers to a lot of my questions by putting lemmy in the search bar instead of reddit. There definetly arent as many results but they are usually higher quality than redits.

At this point “uses signal” is all the metadata they need.

Mindustry, great open source game. Although it was so addictive I ended up deleting it. Now I don’t have any games on my phone.

And most phones are shipped with software that is often difficult to change.

Way ahead of me

China is a country that doesn’t care about the individual.

Literally a country dictated by it’s individuals

At what point can we call it genocide?
