I’m pretty certain my country banned Kaspersky because they kept outing western backdoors and malware. And I would bet my life that Windows has supported free use government backdoors since at least Windows 10.

It was the right move, but this needs to be expanded. Assume there are state actors from all of the major countries installing backdoors.

The digital war front will be getting hit from all sides. We need extreme paranoia to protect all of the innocent bystanders. Don’t assume even your own country is trustworthy in this.

Wow. You guys got lucky. All the users I supported with them had constant issues.

I’m seriously shocked your surface is still running. I’ve never seen one last more than a year, and they usually required a lot of troubleshooting to keep them going that long.

I want our politicians to follow the law, and stop arming the genocide.

This is a very low bar. It’s pathetic they can’t reach it.

Do y’all ever stop to ask, ‘what could we do to win these people to our side?’ Or do you think the condescension will actually work this time?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I’m just saying it seems like a more obtainable ask.

Why not just a case with a slide out Bluetooth keyboard in the back?

They’re still banning or driving away anyone outside of Musk’s echo chamber.

The vast majority of users are not big time contributors to the site’s quality content. But the content creators had the biggest targets on their back for retaliation. After so many bans over such a long period, there’s just less and less people to post quality content for the majority to consume.

Cracking down on narrative control doesn’t force the public to see things your way. It just drives them to other, more relevant platforms. Not sure how many times we need to go through this cycle for them to understand how futile this is.

Pointing out bad actors isn’t intended to win an argument.

I’m loving the lack of self-awareness. Trying to play both sides as if y’all love democracy, but losing your minds when anyone suggests any government that isn’t an oligarchy.

Either an astroturfer or bootlicker.

It’s really pathetic bootlicking of the ‘party elites,’ and obscenely undemocratic, to insist that there needs to be someone “in charge” to overrule the democratic choices of the party base.
