You can't ban cryptography. It's as absurd as banning maths

In Poland we call it "gotowanie żaby" (eng. boiling a frog). This is a nice idiom for slow action towards a specific goal despite the resistance of reality.

Billionaire or trillionaire is irrelevant. He's still a dumbass

Brazil is part of the global south, and together with the US, they are pushing age verification at the systemic level, just to mention

I have experience in programming and building computer systems. 12 years of experience and self-education. The project you linked looks promising. I'm always the first to support and contribute to such projects but we lack infrastructure for this to become a thing

Dunno, I think autocorrection on my phone placed it for me

 

Negative thoughts flooded my mind. The EU is constantly trying to push Chat Control. They're blocking bootloaders on phones, introducing ID and face scanning everywhere, in the US they're trying to push system-level verification, corporations are spitting in our faces and don't even hide it. I know we have to fight. My personal rebellion was joining Fediverse and Lemmy and quitting Reddit. But seriously, boss—I'm tired. Are our attempts to preserve internet freedom futile? Can we win against corporations and politicians who we pay but don't listen to us?
