Just… let it be a lottery. Couldn’t make it much worse.

Lol, yeah, we’d have that… laughs nervously

I’m legally prohibited from speaking my mind honestly on this subject.

(The only thing unavailable is red ink)

I’ve read it more slowly now. I think it could use a few edit passes to get things condensed into fewer categories. I felt I was reading the same advice in multiple contexts.

The amount of bullshit was near zero, I really think you know what’s up. Sometimes, you left out basic “everybody knows” details, and I had to process for a moment to decide if it was because you were unaware or just for brevity. I concluded that you just wanted to write about the important stuff and not rehash old tips. That’s a good thing.

Be safe out there.

Oh no, I imagined it… now I’m imagining terrorism charges for DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE FAR RIGHT IS DOING.

(Sorry, the rage isn’t directed at you)

Only if they’re automatic.

I blocked all of lemmy.world, yet I still see you. I’ll just block you one at a time for being completely stupid

I don’t really care. I’m sick of you people

I didn’t say it was the only goal, it is the PRIMARY goal. Secondary function is coordination of movement. As for camera functionality, it also serves to upload the images to the internet, or to live stream for awareness. An ordinary camera typically cannot serve that function

I skimmed it really quick. Looks like a really good writeup! You talk about stylometry, you might be as paranoid as I am.

I don’t even try to hide my speech patterns, but I should.

Will try to give it a slow read when I have time. I like your work so far!

Ah, now I have skimmed the article, they got the right idea. I think the precautions described there are insufficient. These are not normal times, be safe out there.

Leave your phone behind because of geofencing. Even a dumb phone with your name connected to the bill will be traced to you. Grab an e-waste phone, buy a sim with cash, and even hide your face in the store, because the cops will get that footage.

Once you have your burner with no paper trail, never let it connect while at home, work, or any other place connected to your identity. Phones with removable batteries are best for this. Use a faraday bag if you must bring it home with you. Don’t trust a phone to actually turn off.

The purpose of your burner phone is primarily to document events. You want to record the police instigating violence. However, avoid doxxing your fellow protestors. Don’t record their vehicles, don’t record their tattoos or other identifying marks. Keep the camera pointed at the cops. The media is captured by fascism, it will not report that the police are thugs. It’s up to citizen journalists.

Expect the police to gain access to your phone. They will be logged into everything through that. Don’t dox your friends by granting police access to your planning chat. Use a separate system for communicating during the event, and keep all accounts separate.

And there’s other concerns as well, but mostly just … don’t bring a phone unless you know what you’re doing. They’re snitches.

(I didn’t read the article yet. I expect I probably already did, years ago)

Planes go over my house all day. We’re all fucked, even if we don’t fly. Maybe one will fall on him and we can have a good laugh 😅

Omg, it’s beautiful. I want it on my living room wall.

You know it!

Thanks for volunteering!

Ugh! Disgusting source. I’m sorry I didn’t vet that before posting it.

Facts are facts, regardless: "It has also emerged that nefarious activities by USAID were well documented across the globe.

There are reports that USAID built a fake Cuban Twitter platform called ZunZuneo, designed to lure young users and slowly feed them anti-government content to spark protests and was funded in secret through shell companies.

The plan collapsed when exposed in 2014.

USAID was accused of funding regime change in Venezuela after it poured millions into opposition groups trying to overthrow the leaders of that country, President Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.

It trained activists, bankrolled anti-government media, and was linked to the failed 2002 coup against President Chávez.

In 2014, USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy poured money into opposition groups and media in Ukraine.

Other countries where it was accused of meddling in political affairs include Bolivia, Haiti and Afghanistan."

I can have a little chuckle, because for once it doesn’t look like anyone was murdered. 🥹
