Device permissions? That’s not the issue. I think people just lack software knowledge and should learn the difference between proprietary software and Libre software.

If people understood how to check the software license and determine if it’s a free software license, that would cover almost everything they need to do to help us stop having this problem with picking the wrong software.

Well, just uploaded a photo of someone else now it says this…

Developers should choose a different license if they don’t want to free their code or go work on a project that’s inline with their values then. Poor them, I could care less. The GPL is made for YOUR freedom. Anything that allows a developer to not release their code because they don’t want to, well, that software becomes proprietary, which invades your freedom. Of course the GPL “restricts” those types of developers freedom to do whatever they want, how else would the software stay free? Don’t really understand what your arguement is here.

How is it so far? I’m thinking about getting a used motorhome around $15k, most likely from the late 90s or 2000s (one with at least a shower and toilet). I’m not a huge traveller, but boondocking seems interesting if I had a plan lined up, I would be open to living that way. I make around $65k/year and am single, no debt, so I think I could make it out. I already live a simplistic life, all I need is my guitar, laptop, and maybe a dog and I’d be chilling. The only thing I wonder about is surviving winter time or when it gets really hot out.

If you go to dark(.)fail, go to Dread forums and head to c/OpSec, one of the top posts has information on how to bypass all Internet censorship. It’s a super in-depth tutorial on bypassing censorship in countires like Russia, China, etc.

At this point I’m just buying an RV.

No. Avoid this by switching to a free operating system such as Debian. Windows is proprietary, there is no hope for privacy there.

I got heads, I guess that means I have to keep it now haha

Now, I see another person on here said I should add more, any suggestions for what to add?

I was thinking maybe a UFO, Alice in Wonderland characters, Dr. Seuss, or the Lorax with some truffula trees :)

It’s proprietary, how could you possibly trust it?

Worked as a cashier and manually entered the price for a cheesecake as $2.99 instead of $3.99. I only made that mistake once, and was fired for it even though I worked there for two years.

They told me they have a zero-tolerance policy regarding this. They even called in one of their security professionals to investigate, pulling footage of me and everything.

Fuck you, King Kullen.

Proprietary?

I think we should attack this issue at the root. There are already backdoors in the devices anyway, so what’s this court case really going to achieve? I get it, because it would be a known backdoor, but think of all the nastier NSA backdoors that aren’t disclosed to the public. We’ve lost already by the masses using this proprietary garbage. Schools have failed to teach libre software, this is one of the major reasons we’re here in the first place.

Apple is all proprietary anyways, so you shouldn’t trust them still, even if they win this court case. I recommend using Librebooted Dell OptiPlex 780’s or Dell E4300 Latitude’s with Trisquel GNU/Linux + Tor Browser with Javascript disabled if your looking for the most privacy in your internet activites. You can do what you wish with this information.

That was not to be taken seriously, but I could see that in myself lacking empathy. I’ll the advice regardless, because I did some self reflection and do think I’m lacking that part of myself. Thank you.

I agree. If it’s not libre from the start, we should not trust it. The term “open source” is ambiguous; they could just put it under some restrictive open-source license and then revert to closed source later. If it’s put under a free software license like the GPL, then I’ll feel better.

Trust me, I have a good feeling that she told them. It’s kinda obvious. But you’re right, I don’t know for certain. I’m just starting to feel like this is all too much for me, I have to study for my certifications for my next job, I don’t have that much time to learn Spanish right now… If she hadn’t told basically everyone, I would’ve learned for her.

Yeah, sure. The point is if she tells everyone someone will eventually find out and I feel like I will get in trouble. Workplace relationships are not allowed here and she doesn’t seem to understand we have to keep it lowkey. Now that everyone knows, I feel like this is a missed opputunity for something.

Just edited my comment. It’s not a necessity for me, but would be nice to have. Thanks for the info!

I want to use it, but it requires Javascript in order to view the webpage. I’m wondering if there’s a utility that would allow me to download the webpage over Tor, with all the sites functions (audio, elements, etc.)

Wget could work, I’ll give it a try soon. Thank you! (I don’t necessarily need the audio, but it would be nice to have)

Yes, but I would need to enable Javascript, Ultimateguitar.com completely blocks access if Javascript is disabled. Thank you for the tip though! I did not know of that feature.
