Stay out of national parks during US shutdown, conservationists warn

The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) said skeleton staffing means visitors will be "probably on your own" with limited facilities available to them.

The National Park Service (NPS), which oversees 433 sites, said on Tuesday it was keeping national parks partially open, but placing more than half its workforce on furlough, or leave.

Conservation groups and former rangers have objected to the sites being kept open during the shutdown, arguing that the decision puts both visitors and park resources at risk.

Reduced staffing at national parks means visitors are "really taking your chances", conservationists say.

Social Security Administrator Frank Bisignano is named to the newly created position of IRS CEO

Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano was named to the newly created position of CEO of the IRS on Monday, making him the latest member of the Trump administration to be put in charge of multiple federal agencies.

As IRS CEO, Bisignano will report to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who currently serves as acting commissioner of the IRS, the Treasury Department says. It is unclear whether Bisignano’s newly created role at the IRS will require Senate confirmation.

The Treasury Department said in a statement that Bisignano will be responsible for overseeing all day-to-day IRS operations while also continuing to serve in his role as commissioner of the Social Security Administration.

Almost 500 anti-genocide activists arrested as Starmer government moves to ban protests outright

London’s Metropolitan Police arrested another 492 people over the weekend after a protest Saturday in Trafalgar Square, as the Starmer government accelerated its crackdown on opposition to the Gaza genocide.

The entirely peaceful protest was held to oppose the proscription of Palestine Action. It was organised by Defend Our Juries and attended by over 1,000 people. Of the arrests, 488 were for holding up signs declaring, “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action”.

Almost 500 anti-genocide activists arrested as Starmer government moves to ban protests outright

Asked if this was a “dark step” to limit the fundamental right to protest, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood replied that that having a freedom “doesn’t mean you have to use it at every moment of every day”.

Privacy friendly keypad/electronic door lock at home?

I'm looking into installing a door lock w/ key pad at home for two use cases:

I'm out of town and need to allow someone to enter my home, in an emergency or for any reason.
Nice to have - "oh shit, did I lock the door" - ability to lock the door remotely from my phone, would also solve use case #1 by unlocking remotely.

If there are no privacy respecting / self hosted apps for remote control (use case #2), then a "dumb" electronic lock w/ key pad that enables me to set a PIN that I can give to a friend or neighbor in a pinch and then reset the PIN after I get home, that would be good enough. If no such keypad/electronic locks exist, then my backup plan is to just make a few copies of my key for trusted friends & family and/or hide a key, but I'd like to explore the keypad route.

Much like securing your network and devices, unfortunately, there isn't anything that renders 100% protection.

Indeed, and that's why I enjoy lock picking. You get to actually understand the technology and its limits. It's a playful pastime but IMHO it's an interesting reminder.

That being said... I do believe 1 protection exist and is close to 100% : computational complexity. The math behind encryption is the closest we have to a perfect lock. The fact that governments have to put artificial limits on it says a lot.

It's incredibly hard to prove things like this so if you don't believe it you don't, but I don't think the effects are just meant to be directly bringing food to Gaza. If that were the only way to measure it you'd be right. But the only thing which could possibly stop Israel is strong political pressure from the West and we are getting closer to that, the world is angry about it in a way they weren't before. Even Germany, the most hard-line Israel supporter is changing its stance. These massive protests in Italy wouldn't have been like this otherwise. Yeah maybe I'm wrong because these things are nebulous and slow but that's how activism is and I think those things are real changes.

I get it. You find it comforting to believe there's nothing you can do to change things, so you refuse to consume anything that would challenge that notion. Otherwise, you might feel obligated to do something you aren't willing to do, like join a cause or think critically about how you might make change.

I suppose ignorance is bliss, after all, but if you did want to challenge that notion, I'm happy to share the following:

Palestinians being able to fish in Gaza while the IOF was distracted by the Sumud flotilla.
The global change in public sentiment regarding Palestine and its occupation by a settler-colonialist force, including 60% of Jews in the US recognizing that Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza (up from 27% in late 2023).
International governments recognizing the state of Palestine. A move, albeit performative, indicating that governments are feeling major public pressure to act. And that was before the solidarity protests and general strikes across europe that are breaking out today.
The successes of the BDS movement. Billions of dollars in divestments have been won from genocidal collaborators like Coca-Cola, Teva, Caterpillar, Microsoft, and countless more, even by governments and retirement indexes, along with 250+ wins in the US alone
Spain's announcement of a complete arms embargo against Israel, along with eight other measures against the occupation
The success of the Mask Off Maersk campaign, a major win being the end of Maersk's collaboration with illegal settlements in the West Bank.
Other campaigns; like The Oakland People's Arms Embargo, and the recently launched AIPAC Out!; uncovering Israel's American collaborators at every level, in a way that is accessible and therefore actionable to the public.

That's only what I could name off the top of my head

It is in this context alone that we see serious peace talks taking place, with Trump and other US negotiators getting directly involved, and Israel actually seemingly motivated to engage in negotiations on Hamas's terms (i.e. their demands for a permanent ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian aid, full IOF withdrawal, prisoners exchange, resisting the disarmament of their people, etc). That deal most certainly won't be enough, but it's a start. We both know that Israel wouldn't even come to the table without overwhelming pressure to do so. The cracks in the empire are showing and the empire is desperate to close them, but the thing about cracks is they tend to permanently weaken the structures that stand on them.

For leftists that's exactly who we're talking about when we say liberals. The right to private property and equality and the consent of the governed are logically incompatible. Right liberals (e.g. US Republican party) emphasise the former, and moderate liberals (e.g. US Democratic party) pay lip service to the latter while only actually protecting the former. It's really only about property in the end.

I wouldn’t say those three things are inherently logically incompatible, but there would be a lot of grey areas.

The power structure of the federal government doesn’t make it any easier to actually exercise the federal government to accomplish helpful objectives, but making things worse is a relatively easy exercise.

The focus on state level politics seems much more meaningful to actually accomplish any goals, since at least there is not as big of a hurdle where land and money have more power/representation than real people.

They are not logically incompatible, but we will have to make clear and specific decisions about where one ends and the other begins.

Unless you are asking me to live in a society where I must share my toothbrush with others because I am not allowed to keep any private property.

I do believe in private property: with modest, reasonable limits. Which we can and will discuss the details of over time, and I understand that will likely become a heated discussion at times, but I believe it is an inevitable and necessary one. Does that disqualify me from being a leftist? Does it make me a liberal too? Let me know.

Private property in this context means things which generate/are used to generate capital, not just any kind of object which people might have and use. The important distinction is that capital is social, it is a means of coercing others to do work for you. That's true for a factory, where people work for the owner, or for a rented property where the tenant must work to pay the owner. It's true in a way even for wages - when you spend money you are buying the products of people's labour (which under capitalism was not produced in a just way). It's not the case for your toothbrush.

The distinction that liberalism made was that everyone should in theory be allowed to own private property rather than royals appointed by divine right and hereditary nobility they delegated some power to. Not that in the 1700s we were suddenly allowed to have our own clothes for the first time in history.

Isn't it though? I didn't make my toothbrush. It came from the toothbrush factory. In fact, it's an electric toothbrush. Which presumably requires a lot of somewhat high tech inputs and resources to create. Would someone have developed this innovation without some economic pressure to do so? I'm not totally convinced. I think there is some role for capital in that sense. Maybe I'm wrong.

Thank you for taking my somewhat tongue in cheek comment so generously though. My humor is not always placed appropriately and doesn't always come across well, but it sometimes provokes people to respond, and I'm simply trying to learn and keep an open mind, and I appreciate your time and effort in sharing your knowledge.

This isn’t at all to say her original stance was misguided. It is to say that she recognises genocide and ecocide come from the same root. Systems of power that destroy ecosystems also destroy people, also destroy planets, also destroy worlds. She is in many ways simply displaying a logical consistency, as much as a moral one, about the interconnected nature of the evils that plague our civilisation. And this is where she broke with a liberal class who see evils selectively and in terms framed and dictated by empire.

You not wanting to understand what we're telling you does not make us the morons.

edit:

In the sense that the government can't seize your shit [...] that doesn't mean we can't tax the shit out of billionaires

Doesn't it? Where do you draw the line between taxes and government seizure, especially in the context of capital owners? Also, wouldn't it be far more effective for the government to simply own the means of production and operate at the behest of the people? Does taxing capitalists more while still allowing them to have full control over the means of production - which they'll use to influence the people and government in their favor - not simply set up the same situation we find ourselves in now, just some amount of time down the road?

I would say it does set that up (in fact it has in the past, just look at what was in the new deal and how it's been eroded since it was signed. Assuming you're familiar with US history...), and that is why liberalism is incompatible with anti-capitalism.

lol that's not what I'm referring to. What they call themselves doesn't matter, what matters is whether their policies/laws and/or philosophy/ideology align with neoliberal principals. In other words; we only care about the material reality of the matter. This is because Marxists follow a framework called dialectical materialism.

Words, especially those which a politician or lawmaker uses to market themselves to the public, are not material. They can't be measured in any meaningful way and they don't necessarily reflect reality. (You can, however, measure the material indications and effects of those words if you're inclined to do so, but that's besides my point.)

"Personal liberty" is what allows capitalists to exploit us. They have all the "liberty" you think you have. The "liberty" to put lies in the media, to pay you less than the value of your labor in order to extract a profit, to charge extortionist prices for healthcare and other basic needs, to influence politics and to crush competing public industries. These are all the things that "liberty" gets you under capitalism. "Personal liberty above all" != working class liberation.

So there's no liberty under communism? I'd say class freedom is extreme liberty

Communism operates under what was referred to by Marx as a 'dictatorship of the proletariat', which we regard as complete liberation of the working class, because it allows the public to have control which is simply not possible under the liberal framework of "personal liberty for all". Under the liberal framework, even the smallest most democratic intervention is decried as "government overreach"; that is, if it is even made democratically possible in the first place.

Which isn't totally incorrect, because what you're talking about isn't "personal liberty for all". You exclude billionaires. Us socialists/communists exclude capitalists as a whole, because the sole interest of a capitalist is to enrich themselves at the direct expense of the working class and our liberty. Billionaires are certainly the worst and most visible offenders, but a materialist lens allows one to see that each and every capitalist serves interests that are fundamentally in conflict with those of the working class. To operate any other way would be to betray their own interests, and wouldn't make for a very effective result.

Liberation will only come when the working class has the power to decide collectively how our resources will be used, which will only come when we have majority control over the means of production, which will eventually lead to the capitalist class becoming completely obsolete. Liberation means being able to provide for our needs above anything else; for the sake of our humanity alone, and from the work that we are already doing; rather than our labor power being extracted for private gains and our needs provided only to the extent that it serves capitalists' profit motives.

I understand that. I just don't think it's possible

in reply to Quadhammer • 3 settimane fa • •

Why is that? Have you ever spent time thinking about how that would be any more or less possible under the current system than, say, seizing the wealth of billionaires and socializing it back to the working class? How would the latter ever be possible by any means short of revolution, especially now if Trump gets his way? What will you do when the ruling class doesn't put that kind of relief on the table? How much oppression and destruction will you consent to, if you believe liberation is not possible and things can only get worse from here?

If you don't believe in it, you won't fight for it. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. That's exactly why our system does everything in its power; both to obscure revolutionary working class history, and to inflate the state's ability to repress dissent. So I'll repeat this until the day I die: it's been done before under worse circumstances.

Russians and Cubans were under brutal dictatorship. Haitians were completely enslaved by one of the most powerful colonial forces in their time. Vietnamese guerillas successfully fought off invasion by the single most militaristic nation in the world, and they aren't alone in having done so (see North Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, so on). If I could speculate, I'd say China's political and economic situation in 1950 is a pretty reasonable outcome for the direction we're heading now in the US. Regardless of how you feel about what came after each of these struggles, the factual reality is that these weren't armies sponsored by any state. These were working class people fighting directly against the states that profited from their exploitation.

All of those people got organized and won liberation from their domestic oppressors, doing their part to weaken the empire, despite what would seem as insurmountable odds to a disorganized worker. It's on us now to organize ourselves against our own oppressors, to get them off both our backs and theirs, and we can't do that without maintaining optimism about our ability to win should we fight. We know that Fascism can only exist for so long until it cannibalizes itself. As a collective we are capable of beating it long before that comes to pass. If we allow the state to beat that optimism out of us then we are only greatly delaying our liberation and doing the ultimate disservice to our people.

"We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words." - Ursula K. Le Guin

I don't think we should waste our time trying to convince fascists of anything (most of whom are the wealthy elites we outnumber anyways), other than by carrying out the consequences of their actions. Their interests are simply not aligned with ours.

That's okay though, because threshold number of people required to disrupt the system and make real change is much smaller than you would think. All it takes is coordination between those of us that believe in upholding the dignity of the working class, and we gain that coordination by organizing and spreading class consciousness.

The thing is that most of the everyday people in the US already agree with us. Even Republican voters. Most people believe that housing, food, and healthcare should be affordable; that there should be real solutions to homelessness and crime; even bodily autonomy (pro-choice, gender affirming care) is popular among the people. It's just that neither party puts up real solutions, both of them make excuses for why those things are not possible, and the Republicans are really good at making up scapegoats and creating non-solutions that sound really good to someone already conditioned to accept them, which the Democrats generally play along with and split the difference rather than putting up any real challenge or counter-argument.

As for the aesthetics of socialism, even Castro eventually had to spell out that it was, in fact, socialism that was responsible for all the gains they had made since their revolution - that the bogeymen they were so afraid of were simply projections made by their former oppressors. Working class consciousness doesn't have to be 100% before anything can ever happen. It can grow as a result of our success after the fact.

::: spoiler Excerpt from Fidel Castro's Speech on Marxism-Leninism

Formation of the ORI
These forces were called upon to unite in a single organization, and we organized the ORI. It was not easy, it was also a lengthy process; but, in the end, we organized the Integrated Revolutionary Organizations.
Sectarian attitudes are gradually disappearing; so are the attitudes of exclusivism. In the same way, people are no longer being excluded because they are socialists, and, consequently, sectarianism and similar attitudes are disappearing. Some attitudes of extremism are also disappearing. Extremism, which is often called "the measles," should, of course, not be confused with revolutionary firmness. Extremism is another manifestation of the petit bourgeois spirit in the revolutionary movement which we must fight against just as we have to fight against sectarianism.
There are many things our people have already had time to learn. They have had time to get rid of some of the prejudices that many people had who depicted socialism as something terrible something inhuman, something harsh, something enslaving, which is exactly all that imperialism is and which it accuses socialism of being.
Well, we are in a socialist regime. How different is this socialist regime from everything that had been said about socialism So much so that even those who have had problems, like the reactionary clergy, who have had problems with the Revolution, can't blame the socialists for them, can't say the socialists tried to close the churches, prohibit and persecute religious ideas. On the contrary, Aware that religious sentiment is a part of the feelings of some people, revolutionary power must respect the religious sentiment of that part of the people. It does respect it, and gives it every facility. It was those who waged war on the revolutionary regime who said that they would be deprived of parental authority over their children. And the people have learned the truth. Who were they who took away parental rights? Saboteurs who murdered young men and women, counter-revolutionary criminals who murdered a 16-year-old teacher and deprive his mother forever of parental rights, of affection, of warmth and the hope of having her son at home again.
Not only did they murder him; they tortured him. Why did they torture him? Did they torture him, as the Batista secret police used to do, to force a secret from a revolutionary? No, they did not torture him to get any secrets out of him. They tortured him because they were sadists, because of their love of torture, because that boy was there teaching. What secret could he have had? Thus, it was not to squeeze out any secrets. They stabbed him fourteen times. They stabbed him simply to torture him, to fill him with anguish, to make him suffer, to sow terror in the hearts of all mothers. We found out that what robbed people of their parental rights was exploitative - capitalism, which dragged peasant girls away from the countryside to put them to work as servants, to force them into a life of prostitution. We found out that it was capitalism that condemned the daughters of workers and the daughters of peasants to that fate. And it turns out to be precisely socialism that wipes out illiteracy, that educates a million Cubans, that makes plans to rehabilitate prostitutes, to teach typing and shorthand to domestics, to wipe out unemployment, to bring teachers to the remotest corner of the country, to fight and die defending the country from the claws of imperialism, to bring hospitals, to bring roads, to organize social activities, to organize children's activities, to organize youth activities, to develop culture and to struggle for the happiness of the people. That is what we have given our people.
Socialism behaves very generously toward its enemies -- too generously. The social system which captured over a thousand mercenary traitors -- paid by and serving the Central Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon, and who came here escorted by foreign ships -- the system that captured 500 counter-revolutionaries -- among whom were many murderers who had already committed blatant crimes against the peasants -- without even applying the maximum penalty on them, the social system that sees with anguish its calm and generous attitude repaid by the cowardly and vile murder of a 16-year-old youth -- that is socialism.
In other words, with all its power, socialism does not abuse it. It is calm. It is conscientious. It struggles to overcome all its defects. It struggles to overcome-extremism, sectarianism, abuses, injustices, simply because it is socialism, simply because it is what Marx and Engels conceived of, what Lenin and all the revolutionaries fought for -- a better life for man, a happier life for the people, a freer life for the people, that replaces the regime of class oppression, the regime of an exploiting class over the workers, with a workers' democracy. In Marxist terms, this is known as the "dictatorship of the proletariat". (applause).

Liberal ‘leaders’ abandonment. There needs to be an understanding that leadership is no longer following the will of the people in the United States. On either the left or the right. This fact is more of a cause of why things are so crazy than anything the people are doing or wanting

The current anger with Sanders appears to be, from an outsiders pov, that he didn't criticize Israel by calling it a genocide soon enough.

That appears to be it.

I mean. To dismiss everything because one mistake, even if that mistake is massive, and then correcting that mistake, if belatedly, to me, says something very positive about that politician.

I'd prefer it was immediate, and it's gross that it took him so long, but all the other stuff isn't cancelled out by that. He's still a net positive. And he DID criticize earlier than any other us politician I can think of, and sure it
Could have been even earlier and harsher, but like. Fuck. If you hate politicians for being open to changing mind based on new evidence, or reforming beliefs you don't like, or admitting mistakes, you are AGAINST them being rational and it plays right into the hands of neoliberal propagandists.

There's more, he criticized protests against ICE in LA turning into riots, and had some nice things to say about Kirk after he was killed.

That said I think it's really unproductive for people to turn on him after he was a big spark in a movement and is still outspoken. He has irritated me a few times lately but he's still one of the most influential leaders.

They specifically mentioned the liberal establishment. You're talking about criticism from people that probably abhor the liberal establishment even more than they do progressive liberals like Bernie.

Also I think this kind of criticism is important and I don't know why it bothers people so much. It's okay to be critical of things you ultimately support, either for ideological or simply for tactical reasons. It's called critical support, and I think people should do it more often. Even if the criticism isn't ultimately supportive, that doesn't mean all of a person's hate is directed in that single place. There may be more than just the surface level WHAT, like the WHY of it all and what that implies, that you are missing (or dismissing).

You have to stand for something or you'll fall for anything, and refusal to engage in critical analysis - pretending any politician can do no wrong (or the contrary case; can do no right), getting defensive, and outright rejecting any investigation to prove or disprove your conclusion - does not fall into the category of 'standing for something' to me but rather overzealous team sports.

We have to practice more critical thinking, despite how badly our political class does not want us doing that. Whether it helps any specific politician win an election or not (which you can still do even with criticisms). Especially considering that it's this kind of criticism that has made it untenable for a growing number of politicians to deny the genocide in Palestine; it's pretty clear that the only needle that uncritical support will move is that of the progressives, towards the liberal end of the spectrum. After all, it's our criticism of the current system and its complicity in human suffering that makes us progressive in the first place.

He didn't "change his mind based on new evidence", public opinion just shifted to the point where he couldn't get away with not calling it a genocide. The whole time he has always taken the most Israel friendly position he can get away with without losing credibility. Hell, in the very first line of his statement calling it a genocide he still insisted on repeating Isreali lies about October 7th.

The left is pretty much splintered into different types of ideologies, levels of hostility towards conservatism, and having wildly different objectives to accomplish, so they could not agree with each other and thus rarely ever win over the right.

The right-wingers? They have unanimous hatred towards the left and seemingly united until once they defeat the left, they'll fight and kill each other as to who gets the biggest slice of the pie.

I'm saying this because much of the left are split over this personality.

This is how I feel about Jeremy Corbyn in the UK and his stupidly named political party that will go nowhere.

Obstensively he is fairly radically left wing, he's just not radically in favour of actually doing anything. Basically he sits on the sidelines and mutters about genocide being bad (hot take I know) but otherwise just sits there. The only reason he's considered a threat is because his party might actually take votes away from labour but if he won an election nothing would change.

Short of an actual uprising against the corporate elite nothing is going to improve. You can certainly not rely on politicians to be your saviours. That's true globally not just in the US in the UK.

I am unsure about that.

Although I am not exactly right-winger. I do not believe there is a God, for example.

Long ago - at least that is how it seems now - "right-wingers" were laughably and infuriatingly wrong. They tried pushing evolution in schools. They were against gay rights. And so on.

Now I find that it's the "left-wingers" who are laughably and infuriatingly wrong. They have even managed to malleate how science is defined socially. And science is not the only example - they've lost their minds in crime, immigration, sexuality, racism - everything - and they changed (or tried to change) all definitions. I will not go into any examples because it always starts a debate. But I will say this. If we think math is a "white supremacist construct", then there is something that has gone very, very wrong.

I used to be a scientist and I'm a science teacher now, and science is 100% a social construct. I could go through examples of how our modern interpretation of science is based on western philosophy that is a few thousand years younger than science itself as a practice, and how this limits the scope of modern science in a materially significant way. I could go into other examples too. But you really should just go watch Dr.Fatima's two videos "Gravity is a Social Construct, and That's Okay", and "Astronomy has a Colonialism Problem" on YouTube, because she does the most phenomenal exploration of the topic, and I could only (poorly) approximate the quality of her work here.

And for good reason mind you; fuck that guy. But there is no unique sin in abandoning political leaders. Greta is simply more morally consistent and righteous than liberals.

Test Batch Setup with Wet Hops

My test batch setup is nearly complete (please also appreciate the "beautiful" tiles) and I tested it with a wet hop beer. As you can see, those were clearly at the upper end of their ripeness scale, but it was the only time I could manage to pick some at all due family & kids.
In they went in for a ~20 minutes 80 ˚C hop stand, during which my kitchen smelled a troubling lot of garlic and onions. By removing the bag with the hops, I stirred up the already settled trub, so I had to pour all hop debris & hot break into the minikeg along with the wort. Let's see what that does to the beer. I've overshot my OG quite a bit with the setup in the pictures, with a lot higher efficiency than predicted, only by stirring every now and then, so we're looking at an OG of 1.051 instead of 1.046.

Yesterday, after a week of fermentation under rising pressure, it was time for a gravity sample. It's fully attenuated already, and except a hint of some sharpness, I'm happy to report that we're apparently free of off-flavours. 😀 It came down do 1.008 (vs 1.010 predicted) , which leaves me with a 5.6 % ABV beer instead of 4.2 % with a lot less residual sweetness (US-05, you monster). Next time, I'll certainly mash hotter, and check the temperature with an external thermometer as well. I also wonder what a Kveik yeast would do to the result.

Here is the base recipe I intend to use for ongoing experiments with malts, yeasts & hops.

Totally forgot got mention it: These are actually wild hops! Foraged next to a rural road with not zero, but little traffic.

And yes, it's a sous vide stick. The one by Inkbird, which I got relatively cheaply. It sits in a hop tube so no grains can get into it.
After use, I instantly rinse it, then put it in a jar with clean water and let it sit there until I'm cleaning up everything. Then, I rinse it again. As it doesn't have to be sterile, I'm fine with this regime for the time being.

Parce qu'il n'y a rien de plus fun que du jargon juridique, on vous propose une formation juridique avancée ? Ca sera le 16 octobre dans le 19ème arrondissement de Paris, de 19h à 20h30

Mais pourquoi "avancée" ? Parce qu'il s'agit d'une formation pour celleux qui souhaitent approfondir les sujets liés aux procédures judiciaires, nous n'allons pas réaborder pendant la formation les points déjà traités en formation DCNV (Garde à vue, contrôle d'identité...)

I use it and yes, it is quite noticeably better.

Connecting to somebody new with a new pseudonym is completely possible by just tapping one switch in the share screen.

Plus, you don't need a phone number which does generally require at least some personally identifiable information to obtain

Do be aware though, your database is an incredibly important file. If you lose your database or lose the password to your database, you are completely screwed just as if you lost cryptocurrency. Those accounts are burned forever because you will never have the keys to generate those accounts again.

I played with it briefly. It looks like a good choice for a situation where security is paramount and the people involved are reasonably motivated. I don't have those needs, and nobody I know has asked to connect with me using it.

Signal, on the other hand is a familiar experience for most people with no new concepts to learn, and popular enough that I think most people will find a number of contacts already using it.

in reply to basiclemmon98

artyom

in reply to basiclemmon98 • 4 settimane fa • •

I don't know that it is "tangibly better for privacy". Not saying it isn't, just that I don't know. It's definitely better for anonymity/pseudonymity. The main benefits, in my opinion, are:

No phone number needed for sign-up. Signal wants people to be able to easily find who is available to message on Signal, and they're leveraging the phone numbers in your personal contacts to build a private "social graph". This is actually really nice, but also can be a huge hurdle for a variety of reasons I won't go into, none of which are privacy, as others have repeatedly alleged, because there is nothing connected to your phone number, as Signal has demonstrated in their public subpoena responses.
SimpleX let's you have multiple profiles. For example, a work profile, a personal profile, a public/social profile, and an anonymous/pseudonymous profile. They also support business profiles. This is, in my opinion, a huge problem for Signal. Sometimes Signal is used to do things like organize protests. If that group is public, anyone can join and see exactly who you are, and you're essentially doxing yourself in that group. Really not ideal. In the case of something like Session, I can use Shelter to create a work profile and install a redundant copy of the app for another profile, but due to #1, this is not possible.

I also see orgs like EFF and 404 Media using Signal as a comms method. You can't message them either without doxxing yourself, unless you just erase/pseudonymize your profile, which would then just completely confuse your actual friends and family.

No one can message you that you have not invited to message you. Due to #1 (again) people can and do use Signal to send spam/scam messages. Now they could do so just using SMS, but my personal SMS app has spam filters, Signal does not.

If you want to create a public invitation, you can do so, and share it wherever you want. I share mine on my personal Linkstack site. If, in some hypothetical future, spammers/scammers start scraping the web for invitations, and that invitation gets collected and sold/shared, I can simply rotate it out with a new invitation, but, importantly, without losing any of the connections to people I've already messaged. You can do similar with Signal usernames, but only for the 1 profile, and you cannot stop people from messaging with your #. You can also set it in a group to disallow private messages to other members, which is a huge problem in places like Discord and Matrix.

This doesn't really matter so much today, as certainly the # of users are so small as to be a waste of time for any spammers, but it matters so much on a fundamental level, in a hypothetical future where it becomes widely adopted.

You can also create 1-time invitations so that you can be 100% sure that the person messaging you is the person you invited, as opposed to Signal's "safety number" approach.

They don't use Google/Apple notifications. This is both a pro and con. Ideally they would just support UnifiedPush but instead they run their own notification server. This hits your battery life, as well as causes problems with notifications. I often open the app and just watch it update messages for several seconds and then get a wave of notifications, but I also don't utilize the "always on" notification service. The fact that Signal just uses Google/Apple is appalling but you can get around it using the FOSS Molly app. To reiterate, there is no way to receive notifications in the Signal mobile app without going through Google/Apple's servers. It really chaps my ass to see supposed "private" apps that make no option available to circumvent the servers of tech oligopolies. I understand very few people would utilize this but I still think it's extremely important, and the fact that Molly devs actually provide this shows that it's entirely feasible. Google FCM notifications is the only remaining reason I absolutely need Google Play Services installed on my device, and it frustrates me to no end.

And it has been audited by an independent auditor. And it doesn't have user ID's. And you can have multiple accounts with no effort. And you can selfhost your own servers. And it's actively developed. And it's available on all major platforms. And the list of pros goes on.

I have to contend that the founders views don't align with my own (or with most people on lemmy). But that aside (freedom of speech), I wouldn't dismiss them simply because "VC bad". If you want a different perspective, read this.

I use it, although not with people who are new to encrypted messaging or who I really need to keep contact with.

SimpleX has great features for the separation of pseudonyms, which is part of why I think it's the best concept for an encrypted messaging app so far. But it's not only for-profit, but funded by venture capital. I don't think it's going to last for the long term, and if it does, it'll probably experience a similar enshitification that other services have. Supposedly they're going to profit by allowing businesses to pay for their service, but I doubt that they'll actually make much money from that.

in reply to basiclemmon98

monovergent

in reply to basiclemmon98 • 4 settimane fa • •

Conceptually, it's a messaging app done right. Not haunted by legacy identifiers like phone numbers, can be run in a decentralized manner, and a more secure invite system.

In practice, it tends to burn through battery, and it's already hard enough getting people to use Signal. People also seem to have a hard time grasping the concepts of invites, or anything that's not a phone number for that matter.

I've stopped using it due to the battery issue and I don't want to fragment my communication strategy further. It ought to have a privacy advantage by virtue of not needing a phone number, but at the end of the day, my messages are also getting swept up on the other end by non-privacy-respecting phones.

I have it and used it in the past. It's better in privacy than Signal since it's decentralized and doesn't use any identifiers. Signal forces you to use the worst identifier ever: your phone number. It should be optional (as Threema) for easy contact discovery, not mandatory. Back to SimpleX, I stopped using it because every time you have to connect the computer to phone if you want to use it from computer (it's for maximum security, but inconvenient for me). But it's a great app.

in reply to basiclemmon98 • 4 settimane fa • •

We had a small group (under 50 people) that used it daily for several months as our primary means of communication after moving from Matrix. I think the privacy/anonymity features are sound, and the creator/lead dev seemed to be making the removal and prevention of CSAM on the platform a priority which is great.

We always had problems though. Users on iOS and Windows had regular problems with the chat losing track of where it was, images not loading, images getting stuck as your "last read" position, etc. Users on all platforms including Linux and Android would randomly lose the ability to see messages from others in rooms, fail to receive notifications, or upload images that only they could see. There's also a fair bit of feature disparity across platforms. While we were using it iOS lacked the ability to mark all messages in a room as read, meaning some people were stuck scrolling slowly through hundreds of messages a day or living with unread message counts in the thousands.

We ended up moving to XMPP. Maybe in the future when the platform is more evenly developed we'll give it another shot, but for now XMPP is working better for everyone across multiple platforms.

Gajim on PC (Linux) and Monocles on mobile (Android) are my favorites. Gajim is available on every desktop platform you mentioned. Monocles is a fork of conversations.im.

I don't actually have a recommendation for iOS as I don't use it. I know at least one person in our usual group does though, so I'm assuming there's a client on that side that doesn't suck?

in reply to FrostyTrichs

hexagonwin

in reply to FrostyTrichs • 4 settimane fa • •

Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm trying to move a friend groupchat away from discord and there are users on all those platforms.

Are you hosting your own server? How's it working with multi devices one one account (phone and desktop usually)? I've experimented with prosody a bit and it seemed like only one machine was able to receive message at one time, so the phone and computer quickly got out of sync.

Sorry for asking too many questions, it's hard to find these things easily.

in reply to hexagonwin

FrostyTrichs

in reply to hexagonwin • 4 settimane fa • •

We have a private Prosody server on a VPS. The device issue may have been a setting you needed to change on your clients. By default there's a built in delay when sending notifications to multiple devices, so whatever is seen as your active device will get the updates in real time and the others won't. I have all mine set to no delay and all the messages sync instantly on PC and phone, assuming the phone isn't doing any type of power or data saving that messes things up.

Neat idea, but in practice, it's only practical for a single small-ish group of motivated, technical users who wish to communicate internally to the group. When you luck out with such a situation, there are many options out there to choose from, including running a private chat server somewhere running something like XMPP, possibly over tor. It's well-trodden ground.

Signal has a completely different use case than the above. You can get a lot of regular people to switch from SMS or imessage to a Signal chat without too much cajoling, and sometimes just discover that contacts are already on it so you can start with that.

I use it, and its pretty decent. Looks good and works.

Pros:
-No user ID needed.
-Can self host the server that passes on your messages.
-Has the option to use Flux.
-Works out of the box.

Cons:
-Battery drain is a thing. Either toggle the periodic check, or turn it off and open it yourself to check messages.
-Using one account accross multiple devices can be a pain. Since u can't keep using your phone account at the same time as it is connected to your pc. Can be circumvented by having mutiple accounts in the same group chat; but yea it's a pain the ass.

Neutral:
-Convincing people to use it hahahh. But this is a universal probem vs mainstream messenger apps.

Final verdict: 4/5.
Very good if privacy and anonymity is your number 1 priority. It's less of hassle to set up than some other options, and relatively easy to get people into it. Sent invite, they download the app, make profile and are good to go.

Batterydrain and same use account across multiple devices could and should be better for mainstream adoption. On the other hand if u toggle the periodic checks then I find the drain tolerable. And how many of us are in places that don't have a wallsocket available to charge your phone 😛

Judge blocks Trump’s bid to deploy national guard to Oregon

a federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any national guard units to Oregon a few hours after the California governor, Gavin Newsom, announced he would sue the president over the planned deployment of his state’s troops.

Both states sought the temporary restraining order after the president sent guard members from California to Oregon earlier in the day. On Saturday, the same judge temporarily blocked the administration from deploying Oregon’s national guard troops to Portland.

The ruling by US District Judge Karin Immergut said there was no evidence that recent protests necessitated the presence of national guard troops, no matter where they came from.

Yup. I'm using piefed on the voyager app and I have the votes displayed separately right now. But you have to enable that option in settings as the default is "total" not "separately".

I use the web version of the voyager app but they have the actual app in most app stores.

French PM Lecornu quits a day after naming cabinet

Prime Minister Sébastian Lecornu quit on Monday morning less than 24 hours after unveiling his cabinet. He tended his resignation to France's President Emmanuel Macron who accepted his decision, the Elysée Palace said.
Lecornu, 39, took over on 9 September as “Block Everything” demonstrations disrupted transport and public services in cities across the country.
He succeeded François Bayrou promising a "profound break" with previous administrations.
"There is a gap between real life and the political situation," he said.
On Sunday, he came under fire after selecting 18 top politicians for the most important roles in the French government.
But the choices brought condemnation from across the spectrum.
Lecornu was Macron's fourth prime minister since snap general elections in July 2024 left the National Assembly without any of the parties boasting an overall majority.
Gabriel Attal stepped down in September after a truce was called to allow the 2024 Olympics to take place.
Veteran politican Michel Barnier replaced him but lasted 99 days which, until Lecornu's resignation after 27 days, was the shortest tenure in the history of the Fifth Republic.
Bayrou resigned after losing a confidence vote in parliament.

An AI Just Attempted Murder... Allegedly... by SomeOrdinaryGamers [21:15 min] Video

Sure it's a bit clickbait, he does that often. Its not real attempted of murder, off course. The Ai chatbots can't do that, without having access and power to all control systems. The only thing that they "could" do is, playing with the psychology in the chat to achieve a goal (maybe to ask someone to murder someone else for them).

What unsettles me most is, if Ai tools like these are used as advice to harm other people or to gain power position. And these LLM models suggest a few operations the person could do. That is the most alarming thing for me. Weak, dumb or humans in a bad situation are the real risk. The same people who would do that if a human told them, and it makes no difference to them if its a human or robot talking to them. Maybe they believe in what the Ai promises them.

Video description:

Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at something alarming I saw pop in my feed. An AI was recently accused of letting a human being die in order to save itself, is this just misinfo? Let's find out! Thanks for watching!

[Satire] Physical Media Collector Pumped For Downfall Of Humanity

MESA, AZ—Gleefully describing the inevitable day when society would collapse and digital files would become unusable, local physical media collector David Campbell confirmed Wednesday he was “absolutely pumped” for the downfall of humanity. “When it all goes down, there’s only going to be one place to watch the Tomb Raider movies in their entirety with all the deleted scenes, and that’s going to be my bunker,” said Campbell, his eyes reportedly shining as he described how the end of organized society and the dissolution of government would make his cherished stockpile of Blu-rays even more valuable.

“No one will be mocking the CDs I’m still holding onto when the internet goes dark forever and the only way to listen to music is through boom boxes we trade canned goods for. And I’m definitely one of the only people who has a region-free DVD player and all three seasons of Father Ted plus the Christmas special, so I’ll essentially be a king. I can’t wait.” At press time, Campbell was grinning as he purchased the 50th anniversary edition of Jaws in 4k, which he anticipated would give him full control over the drinking water supply in the event of a nuclear winter situation.

What is your Alternative to firestick suggestion

Hi all I have a few TVs around the house and have previously used firestick and stremio setup. I do like stremio tbh but I am trying to decode/deamazon etc so I need an alternative option for the TVs. Not all are smart TVs and I like it that way so accept a small box attached is the cost.

I tend to basically use stremio and cinema HD at a push., and a VPN app. A few uk tv catchup apps.
I don’t need recording or storage. I will likely move to some self hosting/serve in the next year.

I am trying to be conscious of my purchases and who I am buying, and also take steps to protect my privacy. I have a few to buy so budget needs to not be on the higher end.

Thanks in advance

Jellyfin inquiry

Got my Jellyfin up and running, using Tailscale, all that good stuff. Running on a linux (arch btw) desktop, downloaded it straight to it, not using Docker. I am able to get into Jellyfin via browser on desktop and on phone, but can't get into it on anything else anywhere else. How do I resolve this? I have been trying to pour over the reading and feel like I'm missing something.

Same network, but does the server have a default route for the Tailnet? If so, your Roku won't see it unless it's also on the Tailnet.

Stop the Tailscale service on the server and see if the Roku sees it.

Your Roku should be trying to connect to the internal IP:8096 (Jellyfin port) of your arch device, not whatever your tailscale address is. I don't personally use tailscale so if your setup blocks local access then you may need to solve that first

If this is just a local network, you don't need Tailscale. Right place and time, and this is not a use for it.

If you just want a VPN to attach to your network from out in the world, get Tailscale on your router, and set routes for that device.

If you're not sure what this means, don't use Tailscale.

To use tailscale you'd need to add every device you want to use to your tailscale machines list. It's not an anywhere any machine solution without that.

If you want something more like a proper web service that’s available without Tailscale, you’d need to spin up a reverse proxy or use Tailscale Funnel to expose Jellyfin to the public internet in a controlled way.

Tailscale won't affect local as you can access it via browser and phone, the service is running fine locally. Just check in jellyfin it's bound to the same IP subnet go to Dashboard → Networking and check that it’s set to 0.0.0.0 or your LAN IP (e.g., 192.168.0.xx).
