Are these workers making weapons? The article says this factory is for Boeing's passenger jets.

I'm not really sure if you want advice or to vent. If you don't want job advice, please ignore the rest of my comment.

An option is looking at remote work that is technical, but not related to your degree/what you want to do. It won't be a fun experience but it helps pay bills.

Something like data entry or technical writing doesn't have much of a barrier to entry other than having a technical degree.

Another option is assembly/factory type work. This one is very location dependent, but there are stuff like PCB houses where if you know how to solder, you can probably find work. Or welding or something since you're a MechE. It isn't great pay, but it is usually more than retail.

Fennec is on fdroid. It's Firefox without the branding. Also Mull which is a hardened version.

Fuck that water shit. REAL men drink mountain dewwwwwwwwwwww

So I read both articles and I'm still unsure as to why people are very anti signal? I get the it was/is funded by the US government. So was tor but that doesn't make the network any less secure/bad for privacy. The code is open source so if it was phoning home it would be noticed. I understand that they did not release their source code for some time, and yeah that really is scummy and does not look good. As far as message content, there have been several warrants for signal data, but signal has been unable to provide your message's content.

I get that it requires a phone number and you can use metadata to determine who you talk to. Signal is very much not anonymous and if you are a journalist/activist who deals with sensitive content, Signal is a bad option. But from a privacy/security standpoint it looks fine?

Not trying to be antagonistic. I am hoping for someone to elaborate on the articles more.

I've met these people in real life. My work attracts 2 groups of people. People who work there because they didn't want to work for weapon manufacturers, and people who work there because the weapon manufacturers wouldn't hire them.

For context, I currently work with non-defense telecom satelites.

I also find it amusing that anything that mentions animal rights or factory farms is assumed to be a pushy vegan. I've met dozens of people who buy grass-fed flesh because "its better for the animals". ~~Ignoring that it isn't~~

Waiting on lab grown meat to go vegan is the same thing as waiting on carbon recapture to solve climate change. We can, and must, do shit now but that requires inconvenient changes to out way of life. Instead we jump on half-baked bandwagons to tech ourselves out of a miserable future because we don't want to be confronted with the idea that we might be wrong.

Still better than a seal on a bedsheet. But there's a trend with new flags that make them all look corporate.

Pixels are really the only thing supported by the custom ROM community anymore. At least phone available in the US.

I also want to remind people that this is quite literally rocket science. Delays and scrubs happen a lot. That's is not to say there's isn't a slew of inefficiencies and garbage that goes on in the space industry, but this shit is hard.
