I don't use a mobile phone or tablet (not regularly, at least). I do not "every day carry" a mobile phone, but use my Linux laptop with mobile access point.
I understand that phones and tablets are mobile and more likely to be lost or stolen. Also data recovery off a phone by taking out the internal storage is not the same as with a laptop or desktop computer (physically not possible to remove internal storage).
Those devices are still personal computers, though, and I think the user should be in control of whether the data is encrypted or not and they should be the holders of the decryption keys.
You have backups right? I'd make a regular backup on a non-encrypted disk. Then you're less likely to lose your data because of some encryption key issue.
I would genuinely like to know why it's so hard. What didn't seem to work too badly was using scripts to automatically encrypt and decrypt with PGP. Felt a bit over-engineered but I wanted to use my Yubikey for it, which was cool.
@gabriel fundamentally, the issue is that the data requires code execution to access, and that code will require the key material.
A drive that allowed you to approve access levels/modes, and used bio-metric to confirm your identity, I think would be closer to the ideal.
I had the chance to talk with an Offensive Security penetration team, and they more or less told me that, their time in Africa made them realize that, in a physical environment, the person will always be the weak link. (aka rubber hose attack)
And, personally, if I sit down and think about it, I buy very little privacy or protection from encrypting. But, I lose performance, and make the possibility of losing access to my own data much higher.
12 Tage, die den Israelis den Krieg nach Hause gebracht haben
Die iranischen Raketen haben bei vielen Israelis zum ersten Mal existenzielle Angst ausgelöst. Selbst wenn der #Waffenstillstand hält, wird ihr erschüttertes Gefühl der Sicherheit noch lange anhalten. In den letzten 12 Tagen habe ich die täglichen Szenen der iranischen #Raketenangriffe in Israel dokumentiert, die meist nachts stattfanden. An einigen Orten kam ich nur wenige Minuten nach dem Einschlag an, als die Brände noch brannten und die Verletzten aus den Trümmern geborgen wurden.Die Ankunft in der Dunkelheit ist immer trügerisch – man sieht nicht viel außer Krankenwagen und Feuerwehrautos. Nach und nach, mit den ersten Lichtstrahlen des Tages, offenbart sich das wahre Ausmaß der Katastrophe: wie viele Häuser, Fahrzeuge und Fenster beschädigt wurden, in welchem Umkreis und ob noch Menschen unter den Trümmern begraben sind. Stunden nach dem Einschlag kehren die Bewohner zurück, um zu versuchen, einige ihrer Habseligkeiten zu retten, während Nachbarn und Schaulustige eintreffen, um sich die Schäden anzusehen.An dem tödlichen Unglücksort in Bat Yam, wo neun Menschen ums Leben kamen, arbeiteten Rettungskräfte tagelang daran, die Trümmer zu beseitigen und alle Leichen zu bergen. Die eingestürzten Gebäude, die klaffenden Krater, die mit Asche bedeckten Bäume und Autos und die Menschen, die in Pyjamas mit ihren Kindern und Habseligkeiten in den Armen flohen, erinnern unheimlich an die Bilder, die die Israelis in den letzten zwei Jahren aus #Gaza gesehen haben – trotz der Selbstzensur der Medien. Anders als bei früheren Schießereien oder Raketenangriffen in #Israel, wo oft „Tod den Arabern“ zu hören war, habe ich keine Rufe nach Rache oder „Tod den Iranern“ gehört. Vielleicht liegt es am Schock, vielleicht an Israels Rolle als #Kriegsinitiator oder vielleicht an einer tieferen Einsicht in die Grenzen der israelischen Macht. Schließlich ist dies Israels erster Krieg gegen einen souveränen Staat seit 1973 und der erste, den es seit 1967 gegen einen Staat begonnen hat.
Seit dem Morgen des 24. Juni herrscht eine fragile Waffenruhe – allerdings nicht bevor eine iranische Rakete ein Wohnhaus in der südisraelischen Stadt Be'er Sheva getroffen und vier Menschen getötet hat. Unabhängig davon, ob die #Waffenruhe hält, kann Premierminister Benjamin #Netanjahu bereits einen großen Erfolg für sich verbuchen: Er hat das Gefühl der Unantastbarkeit der Israelis erschüttert.
Dieser Krieg, der mindestens 28 Menschen in Israel das Leben gekostet hat, hat Zehntausende, wenn nicht Hunderttausende Israelis, vor allem in Tel Aviv und den umliegenden Vororten, in echte Angst um ihr Leben versetzt. Für einige von ihnen ist es das erste Mal.
Angst hat das Leben in Israel schon immer begleitet – sei es durch Schießereien und Messerstechereien, Intifadas oder „Runden“ von Kämpfen mit der #Hamas und der #Hisbollah. Aber dieses Mal fühlt es sich anders an. Es ist nicht nur existenzielle Angst, sondern eine unmittelbare, persönliche Angst, vor allem im Zentrum des Landes. Die Menschen spüren den Tod in ihrer Nähe, in den Geräuschen explodierender #Raketen und dem Ausmaß der Zerstörung, die nicht abgefangene Angriffe hinterlassen.
Was bisher verdrängt oder durch eine Art Routine bewältigt werden konnte, muss nun direkt angegangen werden. Die Tötungen, die Zerstörung von Häusern und die Unterbrechung des Alltagslebens lassen nur einen Schluss zu: Die Politik Israels macht das Land für seine eigene Bevölkerung unbewohnbar.

Trump interrupted a NATO photo op to name-check CNN’s Jeff Zeleny as “fake news,” insisting his Iran strike was total destruction, lauding the pilots and blasting CNN and The New York Times for undermining the mission. www.rawstory.com/9/
President Donald Trump railed against CNN for being “fake news” and called out their reporter in the middle of a photo-op with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof, while at the NATO summit Wednesday morning.
TEHRAN, Jun. 24 (MNA) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says that the United States and the criminal Israeli regime are sowing seeds of discord and division among the Islamic countries.

I was going to post a poll, but I have no idea how far back you'd need to go to get a non-shitty mayor, and NYC has had a lot of mayors. Probably would need more than 4 poll options.
EDIT: This was not a rhetorical question, I genuinely want to know who was the last NYC mayor you think did a good job!
I don't know (I was pretty young when he was mayor, and I'm not from New York City), but I don't remember anything bad about him. I guess that was my point.
I remember a lot of bad things about Giuliani (even before Trump) for example.
Koch seemed to be well-liked by a lot of people and I don't remember any major scandals or bad press. Unlike say Reagan (who I think was President at the time) and him and the whole Iran-Contra scandal.
Koch -- to me as a young ousider -- seemed pretty decent but maybe my views are skewed.
The biggest media failure on the bombing of Iran is that every article should have started with: "The Iran nuclear deal signed in 2015 effectively curtailed Iran's nuclear program until the US withdrew in 2018, under pressure from Israel".
Without this context, any commentary is worthless.
It didn’t take long. Trump has done every last thing the New York Times editorial board warned us about before the November 2024 election.
Do not look away. Do not be complacent.
Call your representatives and senators today. Let them know you expect them to stand up to Trump’s regime. Use @5calls or call the Capitol at +1 (202) 224-3121.
And check your voter registration at votefromabroad.org. Make sure you’re ready to vote in every election.
Why would a Republican want Democrat “mouthpiece,” Voice of America (VOA), to continue? It’s a TOTAL, LEFTWING DISASTER — No Republican should vote for its survival. KILL IT!

The Swiss Red Cross had access to the German internment camps during WWII and according to their records only 271,301 people died in the camps and out of that number, less than 20,000 were ethnic Jews. So it kind of debunks the whole six gorillion number. I'm not sure if these Red Cross stats are just for the Auschwitz complex in Poland or all of the German internment camps
Natasha Bertrand should be FIRED from CNN! I watched her for three days doing Fake News. She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out “like a dog.” She lied on the Laptop from Hell Story, and now she lied on the Nuclear Sites Story, attempting to destroy our Patriot Pilots by making them look bad when, in fact, they did a GREAT job and hit “pay dirt” — TOTAL OBLITERATION! She should not be allowed to work at Fake News CNN. It’s people like her who destroyed the reputation of a once great Network. Her slant was so obviously negative, besides, she doesn’t have what it takes to be an on camera correspondent, not even close. FIRE NATASHA!

I often crop my photos in an effort to make them more abstract/composed/whatever but that means I sometimes can't even remember what it was a photo of to begin with.
I started looking through uncropped versions of photos and thought it was interesting to see how they started and how they ended up, so I figured I'd share some examples.
These are all color to black and white because they show the biggest difference from start to finish.
I think I'm mainly posting this to show people that nothing that I'm photographing is particularly unique or spectacular and these things are out there for all of us to find. I think we just need to focus on the most important/interesting aspects to us personally to get the end result we desire.
You have a really good eye for possibilities in photographs! I do the exact opposite, I switch lenses and framing in real time to capture that weird little chunk of reality and then do zero processing of the image! 300 shots of a friggin twig in a pool of water but ONE of them will be just about right!! #Photography
I ran across a reference to this book from 1961: the title piqued my interest.
The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct by Thomas Szasz
then I found this review of the book from the NYT from back in 1961... (things sure have changed at the old grey lady.)
“The landmark book that argued that psychiatry consistently expands its definition of mental illness to impose its authority over moral and cultural conflict.” — New York Times

»Dass „From the River to the Sea“ als Kennzeichen der #Hamas zu verstehen sei, sah die Richterin am Freitag nicht. Sie habe schon zuvor Bedenken über den ergangenen Strafbefehl geäußert, sagte sie. Durch die Vorstellung einer ausführlichen historisch-wissenschaftlichen Analyse der Parole durch eine LKA-Sachverständige kam die Richterin aus mehreren Gründen zu der Überzeugung, dass es sich nicht um ein Hamas-Kennzeichen handele. […] Auch werde der Spruch von der Hamas in dieser Form gar nicht verwendet, lediglich Teile davon oder in Abwandlung. Und im Übrigen nutzten andere Akteur:innen, auch in Israel, ebenfalls Varianten der Parole. […] Personen wegen des Spruchs „From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free“ anzuklagen, [hielt die Richterin] für die „Kriminalisierung von politischem Protest“.«

You may not know but the UK Govt has a soon to finish consultation on whether & how to enact the 'socio-economic duty' clause of the Equality Act 2010 in England (a duty that some 40 local authorities have adopted already alongside the devolved Govt.s in Scotland & Wales).
At it simplest this is an opportunity to encourages the current Govt. to be more ambitious in its treatment of inequality & poverty, and thus more proactive on its alleviation.
Lee Gregory, Vanessa Boon, and Dave Beck highlight how the UK’s consultation on the socioeconomic duty offers a key chance to tackle poverty through a legal, intersectional, and evidence-based approach.
In addition to the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) having to decide on whether i686 support should end for Fedora Linux (including multilib), another contentious proposal is on replacing the X.
While that's true, but the main issue here is the unavailability of frequent security patches that Fedora now appears to be attempting to solve with X11Libre.
From what I understand, xorg has fundamental security flaws. How will they remedy this?
They won't. Don't download random shit and if you're worried, run it in Flatpak
What happens when the Linux kernel drops support for xorg? Do they intend to fork an older version of the kernel in order to keep support?
Not really possible, since X11 is only built on top of the kernel's graphical interface (same as Wayland). Even if that wasn't the case, the kernel doesn't delete any code that anybody uses (that's why 30 year old programs still run)
Yeah, I love to see people being called "racist" over not liking corporate facades, or "neo nazi" over referencing a clown. Always very productive.
There's a simple solution to this: if Red Hat doesn't like the guy or his code, don't fucking use it. They're the ones who banned him from Xorg and reverted his changes.
Actually, why do I expect a corpo to be morally or ideologically consistent? Silly me...
Considering the overwhelmingly negative feedback, I am hereby withdrawing this Change proposal. The reasoning is twofold: I have always argued that Changes that are overwhelmingly rejected by the community should not be approved by FESCo.
For the sake of all of our sanity, I'd really appreciate if FESCo could decide on this one really quickly (e.g. putting out a statement) and avoid what could be a most unpleasant flame-fest on this mailing list.

“Bulutun fırtınayı içerdiği gibi, kapitalizm de savaşı içerir…” Jean Jaurès
“Hristiyanlık denilen bu soyun, dünyanın dört bir yayında buyrukları altına alabildikleri halklara karşı gösterdikleri vahşet ve zulmün bir benzerine, hiçbir çağda ne kadar yabanıl ne kadar kaba ne kadar merhametsiz ve utanmaz olursa olsun, başka hiçbir soyda rastlanmaz”. Wiliam Howitt
Kristof Kolomb’un macerasıyla başlayan dönem, kadim uygarlıkların tasfiyesinin, jenositlerin, etnik temizliğin, kitle katliamlarının, savaşların, kolonyalizmin tarihiydi… Batı Medeniyeti denilenin ne olduğu, Avrupa-merkezli ideoloji tarafından engellendi… Dünyanın geri kalanındaki (Asya, Afrika, Latin Amerika…) eğitimliler Avrupa-merkezli ideoloji tarafından büyülendiler, kendi gerçeklilerine yabancılaştılar. Kendi gerçeklilerine kendi gözleriyle bakamaz oldular… Velhasıl, kapitalizmin nasıl, insanlık ve uygarlık düşmanı, netameli bir sistem olduğunun anlaşılması engellendi…
“Batı Medeniyeti” denilenin dünyanın geri kalanına yansıyanı, özgürlük, demokrasi, sosyal eşiklik, “kalkınma” değil, sömürü, yağma ve talandı… Ve Garp Cephesi’nde yeni bir şey yok… Zira kapitalizm insanı ve doğayı kötürümleştirmekten başka bir şey vadetmiyor… Kapitalizm sadece insanın değil, doğanın da düşmanıdır… Sadece insanı üretmek ve yaşamak için gerekli araçlardan mahrum etmiyor, işsiz ve aç bırakmıyor, doğayı da tahrip ediyor, yaşamın temelini aşındırarak yol alıyor…
Kapitalizm dahilinde savaş istisna değil, kuraldır… Her kapitalist işletme varlığını büyümeye borçludur. Başka türlü söylersek, büyüme veya yok olma ikilemi söz konusudur… Vahşi rekabet koşullarında varlığını sürdürmek, büyümek de daha çok işçiyi daha çok sömürmekle, daha çok doğal kaynağa el koymakla mümkündür… Hiçbir sermayedar (kapitalist), bana bu kadar yeter, burada durayım diyemez, durursa büyükler tarafından yutulur, yarış alanının dışına atılır…
Kapitalizm dahilinde asıl belirleyici olan ‘siyaset’ değil, ‘ekonomidir’… Bu, onun kapitalizm öncesi dönemin sosyal formasyonlardan, uygarlıklardan farkını oluşturur. Kapitalizm dahilinde savaşlar ekonomik belirleyiciliğin bir gereği olarak tezahür ediyor. Gerçi, “savaş siyasetin başka araçlarla sürdürülmesidir” denmiştir ama orada gözden kaçan, dikkate alınmayan bir şey var: Kapitalizm dahilinde ilişkinin yönü ‘ekonomiden siyasete’ doğrudur… Siyaset ekonomiyi değil, ekonomi siyaseti belirliyor… Tekno-kapitalizm dahilinde savaş, sürekli ticari savaşın başka araçlarla sürdürülmesidir… Kapitalist devlet ihtiyaca göre düşman yaratır ve gereğini yapar… Aynı ihtiyaca göre müşteriyi yarattığı gibi… Emperyalistler için savaş, sermayenin etki alanını genişletmenin aracıdır… Sermaye büyümekte zorlandığında, özellikle de ‘yapısal kriz’ durumunda ve doğal kaynaklara ulaşmak zorlaştığında, askerî şiddet (savaş), ekonomik şiddetin yerini alır…
Jean Jaurès’in dediği gibi, savaş kapitalizme içerilmiştir zira kâra ve rekabete dayalıdır. Sürekli büyüme, etki alanını genişletme zorunluluğu var. Genişleme ve yayılma da rakipler aleyhine mümkün. Yıkıcı rekabet ortamında her kapitalist, her kapitalist işletme ileriye doğru kaçmak zorundadır… Bana bu kadarı yeter, burada durayım diyemez…İşçileri daha çok sömürmek, daha çok doğal kaynağa, enerji kaynağına sahip olmak, bunu da rakiplerinden önce yapmak zorundadır… Fakat, ne kadar hileci yöntemlere başvursa da şiddete başvuramaz, zira şiddet tekeli, orduya ve polise sahip devlete mahsustur…
Kapitalist dünya sistemi hiyerarşik, pramidal bir yapı ve işleyişe sahiptir. Ulus-devletler hiyerarşisi söz konusudur ve hiyerarşinin tepesinde daima hegemonik emperyalist bir devlet bulunur… Onu ikinci, üçüncü büyüklükteki emperyalist devletler izler… İkinci emperyalistler arası savaş öncesinde İngiltere, savaş sonrasında da ABD tartışmasız hegemonik güçtü… Şimdilerde de yeni bir hegemonya krizi dönemindeyiz…
Sanıldığı ve iddia edildiği gibi savaşlar büyük idealler uğruna yapılmaz… Yeni sömürü alanlarına, yeni pazarlara, yeni topraklara ve enerji kaynaklarına ulaşmak için yapılır… Tabii savaş sadece rakipleri etkisizleştirmek için de yapılmaz, savaşlardan hiçbir çıkarı olmayan, asıl bedeli ödeyen işçi sınıfını ve sol muhalefeti etkisizleştirmenin de bir aracıdır… Böyle bir gerçeklik söz konusuyken de ‘barışçı olmanın’ bir kıymeti harbiyesi olamaz… Savaşa karşı olmak, savaşları durdurmak örgütlü işçi sınıfının, yeryüzünün lanetlilerinin, bir bütün olarak ezilen ve sömürülen sınıfların, politik mücadelesi ve müdahalesi olmadan mümkün değildir…
Savaş büyük yıkımlar demektir ve kapitalistler yıkarken de yıkılanı yeniden yaparken de kâr ederler, sermayelerini büyütürler… Zira savaş büyük insan kırımına, doğal kaynak ve alt-yapı tahribatına neden olur… Utanç verici olan bu durum, kapitalistler için yeni yatırım ve değerlenme olanakları demektir… Yıkılan her şey, işte, yollar, köprüler, tren yolları, konutlar, vb… yeniden inşa edilerek büyük kârlar sağlanır…
Doğası gereği savaş, emperyalizmin krizleri aşmanın bir aracıdır. Hasımlar aleyhine üretim temeli genişletilir. Yeniden büyümenin gerekli koşulları yaratılır… Her emperyalist güç kendi sınırları dahilinde işçi sınıfının mücadelesini geriletir… Savaştan önce içeriyi kıvama getirmek esastır… Savaş macerası milliyetçiliği pohpohlayarak meşrulaştırılır… Başta emperyalist savaşlar olmak çatışmaları sonlandırmak Komünist Manifesto’nun sloganının gereğini yapmakla mümkündür: “Bütün ülkelerin işçileri birleşin…”
Emperyalistler savaş için gerekçe üretmekte zorlanmazlar. Medya ve “konunun uzmanları”, gerekçe üretmekte çok başarılıdırlar… Son 25-30 yılda peydahlanan emperyalist savaşların asıl nedeni asla afişe edilen ‘nedenler’ değildi… Dün Irak’ın “kitle imha silahları yalanı” bugün İran’ın “nükleer silah” gerekçesi… Artık uluslararası hukukun hiçbir kıymet-i harbiyesi yok… İstedikleri ülkeye, istedikleri zaman savaş açıyorlar… Bir de ne demekse “uluslararası toplum” söylemi var… “Uluslararası toplumun” ne olduğunu merak mı ediyorsunuz? “Uluslararası toplum” demek, ABD, İngiltere, Fransa, Almanya, İtalya, Kanada… emperyalist kamp demektir… Kendileri çalıp, kendileri oynuyorlar…
Öyleyse işe kapitalizmi sorun ederek başlamak gerekiyor… Şeylerin gerçeğiyle yüzleşebilmenin başka yolu yok! İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası yıllarda Paris’te bir ‘dünya yazarlar kongresi’ toplanıyor. Kürsüye çıkan her yazar, dünya barışından, dayanışmadan, kardeşlikten söz ediyor… Harika şair Bertholt Brecht dayanamıyor, kürsüye yürüyor, mikrofonu kapıyor: “Yoldaşlar, gelin üretim ilişkilerini (kapitalizmi) tartışalım” diyor… Ben de artık sadede gelelim diyorum…
“Bulutun fırtınayı içerdiği gibi, kapitalizm de savaşı içerir…” Jean Jaurès “Hristiyanlık denilen bu soyun, dünyanın dört bir yayında buyrukları altına alabildikleri halklara karşı gösterdikleri vahşet ve zulmün bir benzerine, hiçbir çağda ne kadar y…

in reply to Gabriel • • •@gabriel fundamentally, the issue is that the data requires code execution to access, and that code will require the key material.
A drive that allowed you to approve access levels/modes, and used bio-metric to confirm your identity, I think would be closer to the ideal.
I had the chance to talk with an Offensive Security penetration team, and they more or less told me that, their time in Africa made them realize that, in a physical environment, the person will always be the weak link. (aka rubber hose attack)
And, personally, if I sit down and think about it, I buy very little privacy or protection from encrypting. But, I lose performance, and make the possibility of losing access to my own data much higher.
