That is only true with ADP on, and it’s disabled in the UK. Look directly above it.

They don’t need to. All of the photos and iMessages are stored in iCloud without e2ee (nobody has ADP turned on, and it’s blocked in the UK anyway) and Apple provides the data to the Five Eyes without a warrant. This is already the status

Why would you build your blog to fail if some article on it ever gets popular? The fact that the most hits you ever received was 50k in a week isn't relevant; a single important post could receive that in seconds. It basically costs n

Reminder that anything you put into Google for storage is you voluntarily disclosing such information to the United States federal government without a warrant requirement. Due to both the third party doctrine as well as FAA702, the feds do

I implore people who are willing and able to send the contents and indices of their private notes repository to cloud based services to rethink their life decisions. Not around privacy, mind you. If your notes contain nothing that you woul

The only “necessary step” is sending the money. All of the other steps artificially imposed upon cross-border transfers in tradfi are unnecessary.

Donating to Wikileaks is entirely legal. The blockade undertaken by Visa and MC at the behest of the USG was extralegal; there were no charges against anyone at the time. Even had there been charges, donating would still have been legal. F

Cross-border remittances is one. Making donations to organizations that are being actively persecuted/censored by the state is another.

This is a common retort used by crypto proponents (of which I am one). It overlooks, however, that is it much, much, much easier to do large-scale financial crime using cryptocurrencies than it is to do so with USD due to the intense and r

rsync seems frozen in time; it’s been around for ages and there are so many basic and small quality of life improvements that could have been made that haven’t been. I have always assumed it’s like vim now: only really maintained in theory

Which? I'm always fascinated by the use of public p2p nets to serve other protocols. The first complete standalone program I wrote was a gnutella p2p client.

Paying in cash in no way helps anyone commit tax fraud. It is very plainly morally and ethically unambiguous to pay in cash.

Fun fact: precisely nobody who voted to elect the congresspeople who voted for the income tax amendment are alive today. It’s a big stretch to assume that the current tax regime is related in any way to the will of the group of people who a

Please continue to tell me how my refusing to hire cigarette smokers, functioning alcoholics, Floridians, people who don’t read books, or people who are overtly rabid about US patriotism is the same as embracing Nazi ideology. I’m quite cu

All of my ISPs are shady due to regulatory capture. I can’t change to any ISP that is safe to use without a VPN.

Yes. Discrimination in hiring with regard to personal viewpoints (ie adult decisions, not built-in traits) is one of the best ways we have to shape society for the better. As private entities, we have freedom of association - including fre
