Onomatopoeia

So Linux is insecure?

Every programming language in existence?

The venerable C language, which can be argued to be the basis of most general computing today?

The violation they target users for is sharing a video, and that's usually through a file sharing service like torrenting.

Think of it this way - whatever you watch online via a browser you're already downloading. Or via an app.

You know, it really tweaks me that torrenting is associates with piracy, when it could've become the defacto way to share files between users, if OS devs had just included the protocol in the OS (looking at you Android, but Windows and Apple too).

I've often questioned why it wasn't...

Time to file the divorce papers.

I've found using a blow dryer works pretty well, and helps keep the wax liquid until the cloth can absorb it (often it's linseed mixed with beeswax, the linseed really makes a difference). The extra heat seems to help the fibers remain soft and the liquid flowing, while driving off the excess solvent

This is called tincloth, if OP's interested.

My experience with it - makes for a heavy material that is rain resistant, not proof.

If you've ever tried on a Western Duster coat, you know how heavy that stuff is.

I have a couple tincloth hats, works great for that, but I've had to retreat them annually, use a lot of wax when doing it, and they're still only rain resistant. Water will eventually work it's way in.

So promote violence?

Seems like that just provides justification for the powers-that-be to respond with violence... And they have the backing of institutional power.

That's an everyone-loses paradigm.

Very cool shot.

And who puts a phone number on a windows with no dashes?

"When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox."

Regardless of how they claim they use it (" to help you"), that's ambiguous. And since they have a "nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license" to that data, they can use it however they see fit. Today, or ten years from now, even if you aren't using Firefox then*.

And people like you (apologists) are OK with that.

Yea, meaningless (not to criticism Signal, good for them for saying so). Just meaningless from Sweden government perspective - it's not like they can simply block Signal. They could, but it would take a lot of effort, and it would be a continually losing game. As I mentioned, I can run a Wireguard/Tailscale network at home, or on a VPS not in Sweden. Good luck figuring out what traffic is in my stream.

It's feasible, but the effort on their part increases non-linearly with every person that does this.

Well, yea, we know that.

But saying they'll block anything without a back door is meaningless, as anyone can run their own VPN these days, and a government attempting to block it is not very smart, as it'll take a lot more effort for them to constantly try to track down the connections.

China can do it because they control all exits from the country network, and will take aggressive pysical action against someone bypassing their controls. And yet people still maintain connections that The Great Firewall can't block.

Still, they don't control it. Which means support is a real problem.

They're not even paying for a service, which would give you contractual commitments.
