  1. As a Lutheran I’m of the APAB-persuasion by default. I will, however, admit that the current pontifex does a good job of trying to prove me wrong.

  2. CW: uspol, president's day

    Imagine thinking presidents are cool and it's just this one that's the problem 😂 #APAB

    "Reasonably confident" is a good choice of words, a WiFi that one doesn't control does come with risks.

    When commercials in legacyMedia sell so-called #VPNs we 'see the writing is on the wall' for the legacy internet, people will gravitate to the legit, distributed VPNs (I2P and Tor).

    Re: "not shipped by default"? It depends.

    Tor is fast. I2P is a good speed and both are efficient when you need them to be, but yes, don't I2P while driving, look out a window. :P

  4. @VieilOgre @ciredutempsEsme Attendez, un cv et une lettre de motivation ? Sérieusement ? Et les salopards de patrons #APAB demandent ça à des pauvres gosses de 3ième ???

    Alors que le cv, c'est littéralement rien, "je sais rien faire et en plus j'ai le droit de rien faire vu que je suis un enfant et que le travail des enfants est interdit - rappelons-le à toutes fins utiles, suivez mon regard". Et une lettre de motivation, c'est déjà vomitif le reste du temps....

    Whether this is about ActivityPub or not is of little consequence to us. All we see is that without some level of #participation/input from peers to help serve specific content (images and video), it is quite obvious that the #Fediverse will trend back towards re-centralisation.

    We call on #I2P developers to explore how they can make something like #GlutPlug work in fediverse clients like #Tokodon (possibly #Fedilab too, but #AllPhonesAreBad so maybe not).

    Whenever their protest shows signs of being effective, they'll have communication channels closed to them. They can try to call the financial institution responsible, appeal to #Falsebook, one's #ISP… they won't restore anything. In fact they'll probably try the line, "Install this app to allow us access to your phone to *diagnose* the problem" 🤣

    In this digital age, if you don't own your communication, you have nothing.

    Great effort here!

    We have come to the point of realising that there are no #ethicalPhones. All of them require proprietary bits to power the #wifi and #radio components.

    Thus all #smartphones are unable to be used in our view.

    This might just be an #Australia problem, however and your country might be okay, but we sincerely doubt it. It appears to be a global problem.

    This sounds like code for, "We have already been doing this for a decade but we just need a veil of legitimacy so the plebs know their place, shut up and go home.

    Everyone should know how to make a #FaradayCase for their oversized, "#smartphone" (read: tracking device).

    It seems unless one orders something online, or goes abroad to purchase a phone/modem **or computer**, its impossible to obtain a new, #ethical device. By "ethical" it means, easily removeable/#replaceableBattery, a sane (smaller) size (#phones), no #fingerprintScanner hardware, easily flashable with #FOSS firmware.

    Imagine if instead of focusing on building nuclear subs, #Australia focused that $370b on ethical devices that protect people from abuses.

    Sorry for the late response.

    The #InviziblePro app sounds like a compelling solution that one can use mobile devices, with the help of friends at #FDroid.

    Unfortunately, it seems #Australia don't allow ethical #telephony devices into the country. What we mean when we say that is devices that can easily be flashed with ethical #FOSS firmware. Otherwise it would be a contender.

    Today we prescribe to #APAB or #AllPhonesAreBad.

  11. @kzimmermann
    We understand that changing the #MACAddress doesn't work reliably on all devices.

    Therefore we just say not to use #WiFi systems that are not trusted.

  12. Researcher does his best to not offend the #technoFeudalists, but we see no errs or umms about it - #GoOGlE IS EVIL.

    TL/DR: Ggle were doing everything they could to hide.

    We adopted the phrase, #APAB (All Phones Are Bad) a while back for this (and other) reasons. But they sound like scammers to be honest. Maybe they are not, but they sound very scammer-like.

    Acts, quacks, then likely is a scammer.

    Sounds ominous. Is that what the article states? Is it still software? What is in the download above that. We regret we're unable to access links at the moment.

    There is a term we've been using, #APAB. It means 'All Phones (today) Are Bad'. Let's just say we are likely to continue to use the term for the foreseeable future.

    BTW we have accidentally lost @tychosoft

    Sounds like #dataCollection for the purposes of compromising all known computer systems that a dissenter might need to access.

    Its likely #overrreach, #securityTheatre and an abuse of privacy and privilege of course.

    There are almost no #ethical paid jobs left in tech — maybe some #gameDev, and maintaining *some* existing systems.
