The vibe I get is that the competent empire managers (CIA and top brass) would prefer not to be doing this, but the administration/true believers/Israelis pushed it through anyway and now they have their way.

Have a link?

Yeah this is just a provocation

I don’t really disagree with you but I don’t see this headline/article working to their advantage in any way.

Yeah it should be disposable. You have to get a new one next time you sign in to something.

Right that’s the vibe I have too. I’ve heard deltachat is a decent replacement for self-hosted messaging.

Edit: after reading more about deltachat, it seems like it is pretty well suited to being Hexbear’s main messenger instead of matrix, no? It is almost a Signal replacement where I don’t need a phone number to sign up.

I might give it a go, but it sounds like it isn’t a replacement for a heavy duty messenger like Discord/Slack, unforuntately.

• matrix uses a security protocol that sometimes has an absolute meltdown, leading to people not being able to see or send certain messages once the encryption breaks. Good for secure messaging (because messages stay encrypted), but it is frustrating to deal with, and will turn people away (including me).
• element doss not support multiple accounts and has no plan to do so. I hear that other apps may support it, but I’m not sure what the current status of that is.

Messaging particularly benefits from a smooth UX and I think matrix has accepted certain trade offs for the aspects it’s strong in.

Kobo is decent and budget friendly, i recently upgraded to pocketbook which has nicer hardware

This article is wild lol, with quotes somehow blaming this on there being not enough immigration enforcement.

Right but it contains those privacy issues, I want the option to use android apps (emulated or VM or whatever) while understanding the compromise is all I’m saying.

Are there any decent Linux phones on the market right now?

Do any of them come with an android VM or something?

This video is an excellent showcase of the effects of the sanctions against Iran (obv the reason things are “cheap” which she explicitly describes)

The blowback guys recently did a trip there and I ink Colombia as well

No they absolutely will come at you for all kinds of positions, a lot of them are “playing the numbers game” and won’t even read your shit.

This may have changed in the tanking economy idk.

Probably should make LinkedIn, but also you shouldn’t.

What you’ll want to do is upload your resume on indeed and monster. You start getting spammed with calls from recruiters about roles you aren’t interested in, and eventually you’ll have to move ahead with one you can tolerate for a year (maybe two but hopefully not).

As you know, once you have a role its 500 percent easier to find the next hop. It’s ideal to accept a role in the industry you want to be in, but the company and job dont matter as much since you are just grinding XP anyway.

The Red Nation podcast is very underrated by the hexbear community, glad you found it!

I can’t believe people are sticking with it
