Karl Popper’s paradox of intolerance is about how we can’t tolerate intolerance in society.

It isn’t a cloak for you to wear when you want to be intolerant and feel justified. Nor is it a proscription to dehumanize and celebrate suffering.

Those are the actions of the intolerant, which we will not tolerate here.

Similarly, it’s fine for those who want others to suffer, to suffer themselves.

The irony.

So you mean people like OP? You?

Don’t confuse feeling outraged or righteous for an actual moral high ground.

The topic was illegal procedures, the person I replied to was comparing a vasectomy to abortion by asking which states it is illegal in.

The comparison isn’t valid. A vasectomy isn’t remotely the same procedure as an abortion.

Well I don’t know

You could check before posting so that you would know.

If you did, you would find out that there are 0 states in the United States where either tubal ligation or vasectomies are illegal.

I do agree that the access to care situation is shit and caused by sexist lawmakers and doctors.

But, just because you agree with someone, doesn’t mean you can’t tell them that they’re making irrational arguments. If people want to continue to push for change, it’s important that everyone is capable of understanding the issues and know how to argue them effectively.

Making outrage baiting statements are good for social media engagement, but they’re antithetical to convincing people to change.

Hey, asshole, not everyone who lives in a rural area and is poor is a Trump supporter. Nor, would being a Trump supporter mean that it’s okay to let them freeze or cheer at other people suffering. You’re engaging in exactly the same toxic dehumanization as the MAGA crowd.

If you think rural voters are your enemy or the source of our problems, then you’re woefully ignorant about the current political situation or how political influence works.

You’re very much right to be angry, but make sure you know where that anger should be directed before making outrage bait posts like this.

I don’t know.

Which world is a vasectomy and tubal ligation the same as an abortion? Because that was the comment that I responded to.

Which state is it illegal to get a tubal ligation?

I’m sure that is great for battery life

Between the update happening and you running the script all of the re-enabled telemetry grabs all of your logs and uploads them.

You wouldn’t even make it through login after the update reboot before this happens.

You cannot remove this telemetry and also receive updates. This is by design.

I’d switch to Windows but I don’t want to use an OS that requires digging through shady online instructions and running random power shell scripts in order to stop it from spying on me until the next update.

I disabled telemetry on Linux(Arch, btw) by not installing enshittified corporate spyware masquerading as an operating system.

Are there any open-source tools that allow me to disable telemetry for Adobe,

Ocular/Scribus

Windows, Microsoft

Linux, Linux Foundation

NVIDIA, AMD

The drivers don’t have telemetry, it’s the software that comes with it.

On Linux you can just install the driver from your package manager without the need for any third party applications.

Thanks, I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

what would be really cool is if it binned the storage keys for one user and not the other, silently. That way you could actually protect your data, without being martyred.

If you leave the primary account ‘blank’ and use a secondary account for your personal use then you can do that.

When you logout of a secondary profile, GrapheneOS zeroes the keys from memory so that even an attacker with full control of the phone could not retrieve the keys unless you entered your password to re-generate them.

I feel like it should also open into a fake account that looks like a real account so they are busy on that while the real account is getting deleted. They should probably start with items listed by the user as important to delete first.

It doesn’t bother with files. The GrapheneOS wipe process deletes (by overwriting with 0s) the encryption headers on the drive and zeros the keys out of memory before shutting down.

You should never, ever allow anyone access to your unlocked phone that you don’t trust. Even an otherwise smartphone could be exploited if it is unlocked because it exposes a much larger attack surface.

Most phones aren’t zeroing out the SSD on factory reset AFAIK, might not even format the partitions.

He was using a Pixel and he fast wiped the phone. That means that he was probably using Graphene OS and entered the duress password when the agents told him to unlock his phone. See: https://grapheneos.org/features#duress

Exactly.

This isn’t a decision being made to cut costs, it’s a strategic move because the EU just assessed how badly they’d be screwed if Trump throws a tantrum and forces American tech companies to disrupt services to their governments.

In addition, the EU has strong data privacy laws and US tech companies are resisting compliance (Elon was recently fined 150million, for example).

This has led to several hearings with tech executives who said that they could not guarantee that the data would stay in the EU and they could not guarantee that the data would not be provided to any other country.

Digital privacy laws don’t mean anything if they don’t apply to the major tech companies and they’ve said that they won’t comply.

It’s an analogy, the article is about digital privacy not drugs.

It doesn’t matter what substance he uses as an analogy because he’s talking about the dangers of pushing a dangerous product at industrial scale.

The person is using heroin as a metaphor for a destructive product that causes harm to its users in order to setup an article about digital privacy. When people use metaphors, we all understand that they’re a rhetorical technique and not an attempt at describing reality.

If someone says that their grandchildren are perfect little angles, you don’t say “well, actually, angels are divine beings who don’t dwell upon this earth Grandma, so your grandchildren are not angels and also you’re so dumb for literally thinking that.” In this scenario, it isn’t the grandmother that is dumb.

You’re getting caught up in the fact that he said to imagine a scenario. You think that the fake scenario he imagined, where US corporations are selling recreational heroin, is not as bad as the current opioid epidemic. That is a completely irrelevant detail because, once again, the article isn’t about drugs.

It’s like you’re saying “this guy is stupid, you can’t put social media in a spoon and melt it over a candle in order to inject it into your arm!”. Sure, I guess you’d be correct, but it would be completely irrelevant and make it look like you can’t navigate basic conversations without pointless digressions about irrelevant details.

Based on this I’m not gonna read the rest of the article because he’s already demonstrated a head-up-ass perspective.

You do know that the entire rest of the article never mentions drugs ever again and you’re getting needlessly spun-up about a metaphor for social media and you’re just trolling, right?
