This is insanely moralistic and just a bad idea, but also… of all the things going on, how can this possibly be a priority?
Nevermind the infringement on human rights and the conservatives’ historical tendency to cater to corporate interests. Affordable housing wasn’t a priority under Harper either.
I don’t understand the format of this. Why put a dictator/murderer/war criminal and shitty capitalist/conservative talking head having this detailed and interesting conversation. These two in no way deserve any of the positive association this meme implies.
Well that’s actually exactly what I’d expect
It seems like maybe the problem is that automakers were able to widely market vehicles that use wireless protocols that are relatively easy targets for attack. This was never properly secure.
Automakers should absolutely be held to higher standards (in general) than they are, and it’s not likely that banning specific devices is going to have any measurable outcome here. It’s pretty well known that people buy and sell malware, and people can just… make devices similar to a Flipper with cheaply and readily available hardware.
This is just dumb posturing to avoid holding automakers and tech companies accountable for yet another dumb, poorly thought out, design feature.
And obviously it doesn’t stop at cars. It seems pretty clear that snooping on any feature using RFID or NFC tech is only going to become more widespread. Novel idea: what about using… actual keys as the primary method of granting physical access? Lock picking is obviously possible but a properly laid out disc-detainer lock is pretty goddamn hard to bypass even with the proper tools, and that skill can’t just be acquired in the same way as with electronic methods of bypass.
I once tried to do a relatively basic repair on a phone, and ended up really breaking it. Like the touch screen won’t work because I broke some shit on the motherboard that now requires micro soldering broke it.
So I send it to a repair company that allegedly does some micro soldering, and they call me to tell me they can’t repair it because their diagnostic utility doesn’t work unless it’s the stock OS (I’ve been a GrapheneOS user for many years). What they do is… wipe my data and then tell me it’s not the screen so they can’t repair it.
Then I sent it to an actually good repair shop and they fixed it very quickly, easily understanding the problem. Good repair companies aren’t easy to find but damn are they worth it. They’re almost always smaller shops and they do not GAF what you do with your phone’s software.

I don’t totally disagree with the sentiment of what you’re saying, but it’s worth giving a cursory glance at psychedelic research before you totally write it off. One of the things that’s been documented is an increased ability to access compassion for yourself and others. Another suggests that psilocybin could help reform maladaptive neural pathways.
It’s not like “ingest a substance and your problems will go away,” it’s more like “this is one tool that could be helpful in some specific ways.” Psychedelics are legitimately different from other substances and I think it’s worth reading about with a hair less cynicism. It’s potentially very useful medicine.

So I fully believe that the reason that the reason that perceived peak attractiveness is such a different age for men and women is because of predatory intentions. Meaningful and enthusiastic consent is hard to give when someone has that much more agency than you, and I think this is the whole plot.
Just so we’re clear, this is the endgame of all of the propaganda against trans people. Many are culpable in this.
Pain science is real weird.
This is a bit reductive, but one of the theories of pain is that it’s entirely neurological, essentially meaning that pain doesn’t actually correlate to physical harm to the body meaningfully. The other thing this means is that we tend to build these neural pathways the more we pay attention and hyper focus on any given body part. Compounding on this: the less outside stimulus, the more likely it is that we will have the ability to focus on the minutia of our internal processes in the first place.
Again, this is somewhat reductive as a measure of explaining pain, but it is probably partially correct.
I’ve been using GrapheneOS for about 5 years.
Google pay won’t work, but everything else should. I’ve never experienced any of the issues the other commenter had, and I’ve installed Graphene on 4 devices (not dismissing you BTW, just saying I think your experience is quite uncommon).
I don’t think third-party launchers are a good idea (you’re giving full device permission to an unneeded app) but it should work.
Almost every app I wanted to use worked with Graphene before they introduced their sandboxed google services, and now everything I’ve tested works with Google push notifications. The only exception is Google pay, and there are upstream reasons for that. Keep in mind, on a very rare occasion the hardened memory allocator breaks compatibility (again this is very rare), but there is an app-specific setting toggle to turn this off so it’s kind of a non-issue.
