I was refering to the US and UK and France. National problems have to be handled by nations. Like I told someone else in a different thread, I’m not your enemy here.

To ignore it is to give it more power to grow. The 1930’s proved ignoring it doesn’t make it go away

I’m a firm believer in know your enemy

I’m not defending it, it is just the reality we face for freedom. It is just their mentality and how they see things vs how the next person sees it or you see it or how I see it. I’m not your enemy here.

Easy access to other avenues is the first step in digital independence from an authoritarian family. It’s the same thing for minors getting access to birth control without ID or parental concent. So long as you gotta have a bank account and show ID to buy a phone, this is going to be a problem.

can everyone?

That’s a different question with all the laws passed since 9/11 revolving around random people being able to easily get a phone with no ID, no bank account, etc like they are going to the store to get a gallon of milk. The patriot act can die in a fire. If you want to affect change to make smuggling an unrestricted phone to someone in a cult, the patriot act has to go.

I never said it was right, it’s just thier mentality

Voluntary as in I can choose a different mobile operator.

draconian authoritarian dipshittery

So long as it is voluntary, I’m alright with it. Let people choose what’s best for themselves. If it attempts to get codified into law, that’s a different matter.

Right, but their mentality is that it is a disease. Also I think the saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” applies here.

The thought is it is the sick that need a doctor

Ruin windows search even more? I like your thinking

This wasn’t at the Whitehouse, but yeah, I think this is likely something to get the lawsuits dropped to finish building the ballroom on the east wing

Money is fungible. Donating frees up money that would have gone elsewhere to go to this.

I used an USB Ethernet adapter on my OPNSense setup and it wasn’t stable enough. It basically required a reboot every other day. A PCI-E ethernet card solved my stability issues. Just my experience.

I think this is the primary reason. I think everyone should prepare to build your own router with upcycled older computers.

Now that I think of it, I wonder if this is why TrueNAS closed sourced their build scripts.
