- triceratops 2mo agoThat's cold comfort if you'd rather avoid a wrench beating.
- jjk166 2mo agoDid you know they can just beat you with a wrench anyways? The "maybe if we do what they say and don't make a fuss they'll be appeased and stop" strategy fails when matched up against those who will never be appeased and stop.
- triceratops 2mo ago> maybe if we do what they say and don't make a fuss I never suggested that. Encryption is necessary but not sufficient. Encrypt your shit. But above all vote, be engaged, and defend your rights like hell. If you're relying on encryption alone to protect you, it's already too late.
- RHSeeger 2mo agoYour wording was ambiguous > In what universe does using encryption to evade the government function as a survival strategy? Could be read as either - It functions as a full and complete survival strategy or - One of it's functions is as a survival strategy The former is saying it's all that is needed, the later is saying it's something that can be used in that way (but not saying it's enough). Kind of like saying that food is a human necessity vs saying it is _the_ human necessity.
- triceratops 2mo agoThat was someone else, not me.
- RhythmFox 2mo agoI mean we can't help it if metal wrenches are cold... I guess we could ask them to hit them with a blowtorch first?
