Chat gpt will never get smarter though (learn anything new), unless actual people use stack overflow to provide the training data. The most important comment on SO is the one where the OP says "I did this and that, and can confirm it&#

Another reason to root your phone first thing before you use it for anything. Was in a similar situation, having a real backup of every apps data (including the "secret" data) saved me a couple of times.

The smartphone: A Spy in Your Pocket Threatens the End of Privacy Pegasus was just a way of some governments to get their hands on a small part of the action GOOG & FB are swimming in.

Add a mode to share a file, again using SSH alone. Works together with "python3 -m http.server", obviously, but should be possible with SSH alone. This would be the first time since the invention of NATs one can share a file over

Very clever! This is the most hacky and elegant solution to this problem I've seen.

Yes. Or, in other words, maintaining morality despite laws.

A lot of east Africa has surprisingly good LTE coverage. I assume you know this. Of course, starlink will have higher speeds. Anyway, here's an idea: livestreamed self drive safaris!

Unfeasible against SpaceX who have a higher mass to orbit capability than the rest of the world combined, soon many times over.

IMHO connectivity to the global internet is less important than local communication between protesters in geographic proximity. Having these pirate base stations mesh together is also achieveable. Freeing end user equipment from the require

Another idea: create an easy way to set up pirate LTE base stations. Hacked femtocells? SDR? Something more clever? Distribute eSIMs to everyday people. The pirate operator takes all the risk and technical difficulties.

TV dishes transmit very clearly in the visible light spectrum :) As for TX detection, you'd be surprised. Directional signals like starlink uplink are fairly hard to detect.

Half the households in Iran have an illegal satellite dish on the roof to receive disallowed TV from abroad. This is punishable and does get punished (rarely, I hear). Doesn't deter anyone. Edit: it will also be quite difficult to dete

Indeed. You would need a starlink competitor from another jurisdiction to fight US censorship if that comes to be.

Air dropping starlink terminals onto protesters is the solution. In fact, if you live anywhere outside of the US, owning one "just in case" is good for future proofing your freedom, IMHO. Kind of like being armed. Edit: in fact, s

For a few years, WhatsApp "e2ee" messages were stored in plain text on your Google drive backup (that's how it worked on Android. Don't know about apple). This was even stated in their FAQ. This was as part of a FB/

Right.. Are cloudflare CDN nodes "the network"? Or a computer? Because they're "stopping me" already, as of late.

You have no power. The moment you'll come close to regainig it in any way, it'll be called an "insurrection" and you'll be neutralized and disgraced.

Everybody is trying to explain this away with Russia, Covid... I'm not even following the excuses anymore. It'll be climate change soon. But that's ridiculous. Literally the only way to have inflation is if the Fed chooses to

Genuine LOL. Uncle Sam asking the 2 great censors of the west to get rid of the most popular app in their stores, so that the east will cease competing with said Uncle on who gets to brainwash their citizens. Gold. Whichever way this goes,

Not OP, but probably Russia. Not that there are no other examples in the last 20 years, it's just that some are more controversial to call out.
