  • Talk to a therapist. Work out what's really bothering you, or at least how to be more mindful.

  • Adversarial interoperability is not exploitative.

  • They can legally seize them with a warrant. But that usually only happens if the target might attempt to destroy evidence or otherwise not cooperate.

    They can also legally compel the target during execution of said warrant to provide their biometrics (but not their passcode) to unlock the devices.

  • That's okay. It's good to live in a world where very different people enjoy very different things. I'm glad we can all be part of a social federation and still get along despite our infinite combinations of infinite diversity.

  • Unfortunately, outside of the meme zone (i.e. !risa@startrek.website) there isn't a whole lot of engagement anymore. Once the blackout was over, the reddit communities opened back up.

  • A lie to yourself is still a lie.

  • This is why we can't have nice things.

  • If you can handle Ring, you can handle Evil. It's more of a surreal thriller. You might be pleasantly surprised! There are some horror aspects from time to time, but it isn't about that. It's basically "What if X-Files, but Catholics instead of aliens?"

  • They call it horror. But it's so much more than that.

  • They do. Even back in their pre-UEFI days, it was possible to flash BIOS from a properly-formatted USB drive by holding down a magic key combination at power on. But it was not exactly publicized as a supported method.
