“one of my girlfriends” casual flex.
Mandy. Likely as in Amanda. Meaning one of her besties. Not a flex, just a statement of what type of friend.
Hey, women are allowed to have a harem too!
why is it always a programming.dev chud with these kinds of thoughts??
??? Get out the house more?
As hetero women we will often refer to friends who are girls as girlfriends. You could be right, but the 7 here is what I just described.
English is weird with that. Other languages have a separate word for friend and for partner
Walking some home with their consent (or consent of their guardian) is not a crime.
Following someone home is stalking.
When it’s related to groceries it’s actually called a steak-out.

Paper is the new privacy measure
Always has been.
Protip: for anyone seeking to use typewriters to further circumvent surveillance, please know that the ribbon is a complete log of every keystroke. Also, the pressure your pen makes on paper can be recovered from soft-ish surfaces and sheets underneath it. Act accordingly.
Protip: Get an old laptop with Linux for privacy, and don’t dare to use Google services from it.
pro-protip: use tails.
We have messaging apps that are secure and can timed autodelete by text “for everyone”.
And yet people keep on using Facebook Messenger.
I can’t wait for glued on words from magazines to come back
Careful. If truly determined people are hunting, microscopic particles trapped in the glue could be traced back to you. The specific magazines might also be identified from the letters and traced back to you.
That’s why I use magazines from the dentists office.
Your dentist? Bad move.
Or the DNA all over them, right guys?
And your printer puts microscopic marks that can be traced back to the specific one.
Are those big enough for mimeos to grab?

as someone who doesn’t use typewriters - is this all typewriters? most? modern? all?
As a person who submitted multiple school papers on a '95 typewriter I can say this: the "newer"style presented a similar issue. Pressing a key was similar to pressing a key on a computer keyboard, as opposed to traditional typewriters where the key press is physically pressing a stamp into ink paper (the ribbon).
I’m not sure how the 1995 one worked, but there were no physical stamps, and it required power. It still left a visible impression on the ribbon though.
This one was fancy and had multiple ribbons in a cartridge. The bottom ribbon was ink, but there was also a highlighter ribbon and an eraser ribbon. For the time, this was very high end. Almost like having a real computer!
The ribbon is just 2 wheels on gears, that work the spool of ink ribbon from one wheel to the other. I’ve taken them apart a few times, and yeah you can just read what was typed. If you have a fancy one that does erasing, both ribbons move the same, so retyping will end up with a ribbon that has jumbled letters. On older typewriters you can still manually move back on the line you are working on. Depending on the machine, and it’s mechanics, it might have a “backspace” button that might roll back the ribbon as well.
It’s not going to remove letters, but you can go over the same space on the paper multiple times. (As example: you accidentally hit “a” instead of “e”. You hit backspace to readjust to where the" a" is. You then press “e”. Repeat that 5 or 6 times, and the “e” should be visible on top the original “a”.)
If I’m not mistaken, there used to be typewriter tape available, might still be available. Used for instances that the ribbon gets tangled and you have to tape it back together. If that’s the case, just rig the receiving wheel so that you can remove used ribbon. Burn the ribbon and done.
All that I’m aware of. Or to put it another way: every typewriter you’re likely to encounter out in the wild.
It’s a common trope for old whodunit mysteries, so I bet someone solved this particular problem but I’ll also bet that they’re not common machines.
this is not my area at all, but there’s got to be some sort of ribbon design out there to randomize the travel after each keystroke
I had an old one as a kid that didn’t advance the ribbon automatically anymore, so if you typed 4-5 chars, it would be a little dimmer, till you hit around 10 and couldnt really read it. So youd have to flick the wheel a little to advance it. Probably too annoying for real use, (and the reason my Nana had given it to me when I was 5) but would be great for short messages like this, and putting 5 chars on top of eachother makes a pretty unrecognizable jumble of lines on tbe ribbon.
duh, just remove the automatic repeatable part. this is why you should think before commenting, kids. jeepers look at me go
but yeah, while annoying for regular use, certainly doable for certain occasions. and probably could be semi-automated fairly easily
I feel like it wouldnt be too hard to fashion a spring that goes between the spindle and a modified cassette, so that as the spindle turns with each keystroke, the spring builds up tension, and enough letters to obscure all type in one spot, then it releases it all at once, advancing the tape.
Use a pen board behind your pages and every third or so page so a scribble page just to be sure.
Ceramic tile, rice paper, food coloring, fountain pen.
Time to bring back the proud American tradition of shooting Nazis.
I would prefer the bat method. They should feel it.
Glad you included a picture. Based on text, I thought you were suggesting we get Batman.
Did he ever join the war effort in the old comics like superman did?
He did more selling bonds than direct combat that I know of. But yeah, Batman got in on it. World’s Greatest Comics #9 cover has him throwing baseballs at their faces for example
I think Adam Sandler was offered that role.
Why not both. Mess them up, then mess up the floor with their brain matter. It’ll be small mess, we all know there’s nothing between their ears
And then what?
Trump wants ICE agents to get killed. Then he can declare martial law
yeah, then or at any other random event that they choose or manufacture
it is inevitable
They’re probably going to declare martial law anyways. What are you going to do then, listen to them? They want a civil war and societal breakdown. This is their end goal, its obvious. What they don’t realize is not every state is going to listen, and there is over half of the country who despises them. This is going to devolve into a civil war one way or another, and it makes me sad.
There is no reason it needs to be this way, but you can only push people so far before they fight back.
I have no idea what the spark is going to be, but its coming. It’s not normal for states to threaten to quit paying taxes, and for a state to activate the national guard to deal with federal goons.
They already have their civil war. I’ve seen Minneapolis
I have no idea what the spark is going to be, but its coming.
Historically there will be a false flag attack on some important military or government structure. Trump will blame liberals, despite it being obvious shortly afterwards that they bombed themselves intentionally.
Thats why immediately after 9/11 there were conspiracys that “Bush planned 9/11”. Not saying I agree with that, but I understand where the idea comes from. It’s an old tactic that goes all the way back to at least Ghengis Khan.
It’s even happened in American history. Blame the Maine on Spain.
So, maybe expect a military base, or the statue of liberty to be bombed. And then trump will say he needs full military in the streets. He doesn’t, but he’ll say that, and he’ll get it.
The only question is, as the Army marches through the streets, will they be goose stepping?
Or it could be the economy tanking,a particularly bad winter storm or other natural disaster, another epidemic/pandemic, a complicit billionaire caught on a hot mic doing something dumb with the world watching, another inflamed and unstable right winger takes another run at Trump for some unhinged reason.
We’re in such a precarious position right now that we’re ready to burst at one of our many weak seams.
Then what? do it. Fuck it. What is the fucking plan? What’s the play after that like really? Let’s see what happens. Are we going to get paramilitary troops killing us in the street? Lol
ICE pretty much has all the employees it ever will. Even with the inflated budget they’re having trouble recruiting gestapo. They’re concentrating their efforts in Minneapolis because they don’t have the resources to do it anywhere bigger, much less everywhere at once.
So they’re all-in trying to get violent kickback so they can justify the Insurrection Act, because that will allow them to deploy troops, which the courts keep blocking.
Marital law == dictatorship. As far as I have read, that’s the plan, then there will be no more elections and he can use the military for anything he can dream up. He’s very worried about the midterm elections. Many signs are predicting the end of the republican majority in both sides of congress.
There is another way that does not involve violence, but it’ll require a coalition. Several states will need to band together and withhold funding.
Only if the war is almost over. So don’t hold your breath
We need more community defense classes now more than ever. Seriously!
Little tip, put the duress pin as your birth date. Because that’s the first thing that a law enforcement officer might try. Then the phone deletes itself and they can’t claim that you did it because they were the ones to enter it, unprompted.
How do i configure a duress pin on android? Is it a native feature or do i need an app? Using lineage os btw
Ideally it should silently delete just some pre-selected things. If we are coerced into giving the pin away, then the phone resetting itself would invite some retaliation. If it just silently deletes the data of a notes app, it would probably go unnoticed.
How do i configure a duress pin on android? Is it a native feature or do i need an app? Using lineage os btw
Duress PIN is a native feature of GrapheneOS. It is one of many privacy friendly features in GrapheneOS.
When I think about how Google could relatively inexpensively back-port those features into Android, and how they have not done so… it makes me feel uncomfortable with how long I trusted Google with most of my digital identity.
Edit: I’m not aware of another good way to set a duress pin. When I search for “Android duress pin” all I find, at the moment, are links to GrapheneOS.
Yeah, it wouldnt be hard for then to add these security features. I dont know whats stopping them.
I found some apps that add this duress pin in droid-ify and f-droid. But i havent tested any yet. One is called Duress, an other is AlternativeUnlockXposed. Both seem to aim at more or less the same. But AlternativeUnlockXposed looks more interesting as it makes the duress pin unlock the screen and it silently runs a preconfigured command to erase something.
You can set the duress pin by going to Settings/Security and privacy/Device unlock/Duress password.Got GrapheneOS installed. I don’t know about the rest though.
I just checked here. Its not present in mine (lineage os 23).
Wow I didn’t think my passcode was that transparent. But it’s in European formatting so I guess I have to trust that cops won’t know what’s smaller, a day or a month.
This is very true. Minneapolis suburb here. They are following even old ladies back to their homes 30 min away.
Fucking unbelievable
How are we supposed to live side by side with these people?
Unless those on the attacking side (MAGA) decide they don’t want to murder more of us, I’m not sure we can. The first civil war was incredibly bloody and tensions between the sides never settled down fully. We are in this situation partly because there is no way to have a compromise with people that believe some of our society’s members aren’t human. The white supremacist view of slave owners and supporters of slavery never went away, it needs to be cut out from the root.
The question that should have been asked and answered when your first Civil War ended: you can’t. They have forfeit their right to live in America by being traitors to its constitution. Maybe after this second one, if the Left somehow wins, they’ll learn from that mistake and get rid of the remaining Right by whatever means are convenient.
What, like put them in concentration camps?
Re-education camps are what China uses. Maybe you can understand why they do that now. The alternative is to just kill them.
Traitors are executed
funny how we can find a way to hang an insurrectionist when he’s an abolitionist, but we can’t when he’s head of the imperial project
The correct answer is to give the law teeth when it comes to abuse of authority, hate, racism, and all the other mechanisms that enable radical-right propaganda and power structures. They can keep on having garbage opinions about people “not like me”, but actually following through with punching down on others needs to be severely discouraged. The rest should follow once sane ideas are given the proper room to breathe.
They can keep on having garbage opinions about people “not like me”
Why? Nazi propaganda should be censored and severely punished, including real prison sentences for more serious offenses like actively producing or knowingly publishing it. Otherwise you end up with what we have now.
they say when something is forbidden, it makes it more desirable. it must have value of some sort if someone doesn’t want you to have it (i’m just explaining, not defending)
plus, if someone is open about their beliefs… you know who to keep an eye on. if someone only talks about it in private…
but again, still just explaining, not defending… banning it completely could make it harder to spread. idk. i’m tired and it baffles me that so many people actually agree with these terrible ideas and we live in a world where we even need to be having this discussion.
People’s opinions are measurably linked to the opinions of their (perceived) peer group. Conservatives were not born evil, they become evil after hearing evil bullshit from everyone and everything around them. That’s why “brainwashing” in the form of repeating the same lie over and over from various sources works so well in convincing people it’s the truth. Ban it, punish the liars, and the influence is reduced significantly. Invest in better education for the general population, specifically around critical thinking and media literacy (ideally something based on dialectical/historical materialism, which seems to be the best philosophical framework for understanding social realities) & historical education about dangers of fascism and capitalism, and the society gets a good anti-fascist vaccine for a couple generations at least.
The law has teeth, in the protection of ruling class, not subjects. The subjects are being deathcamped.
@iopq@lemmy.world what are we going to do with all this spam?
Germany 1930s. We all know the playbook.
If you’ve seen The Leftovers, I believe the communication method of the Guilty Remnant is very relevant now:
This comment of the lady taking the picture really reminds me of the early Nazi era regime where people were hunting for undocumented Jews. This makes me incredibly sad to see history is repeating itself yet again.
There are still WWII veterans alive that fought the Nazis in Germany just to watch it repeat itself in their own fucking country.
Think any of those vets are the same people trying to get these folks deported?
They’re all 90+. Do you think someone that old is doing anything besides watching soap operas?
I’m inclined to agree. I lost my grandfathers years ago, but I’ve gone through this thought exercise a lot since this all kicked off:
Assuming they don’t already know: would I shelter a 90+ year old veteran from home-grown horrors that they’ll never live to see resolved, or let them shuffle off this mortal coil blissfully ignorant?
Honestly, this is a situation where the truth simply won’t do any good. I’d probably just not tell them and keep those soaps and old movies on repeat.
I’m not sure I could tell one if I knew one either.
Watching Fox News?
Some are nosy neighbors. No age limit on that shit
Probably.
Social media has warped the old and the young alike, as it was designed to do. The people who use these corporate, algorithmically-driven feeds probably aren’t even aware that they themselves are supporting Nazism under a different name.
To have been active at any point in the war, someone would have to be 99. (2026-1945+ 18yrs to be draft age at the end of the war)
Even if there are maga ww2 vets, I doubt many of them are active enough for this.
Well damn, guess that’s why the Nazis are back in full-force: the generation that defeated them last time is nearly gone. Now 1/3 this country is welcoming Nazis with open arms.
Even accounting for the many 15 year olds that lied and signed up, they would still be 95-96
There were definitely people under 18 fighting in both world wars.
Sure but even if we drop the age all the way to 13, theyre still 93 years old, and that would be people who only saw combat at the very end.
Yeah I mean not a statistically significant difference, I just think the assumption set should be as broad as possible as a matter of conservative estimation. We’re trying to show that the living memory footprint is low, which I thought better served by getting the absolute maximum number that could be alive, and it’s still very small.
The original Antifa… well, except for the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in Spain.
I’ve actually started keeping screenshots of people I know who are supportive of ICE, in part so I have my own little database of people who I know can’t be trusted, and so that I can hopefully publish them later when these same people try to pretend they didn’t support this.
How about start ruining their lives NOW?
Love the spirit.
How exactly are you going to accomplish that?
I can’t even begin to imagine the violence I would be inspired to visit on someone who pulled that on me or someone I know. Like if smug bitch thinks she just “Got me”, and I now have nothing to lose, and she’s not the armed Gestapo, and that’s a brick lying on the ground…
Only one way to handle Nazis.
We find the defendant innocent, your honor.
I much prefer the classic image of a woman smacking a Nazi over the head with her purse.
This is so sad. But the upside is there are apparently enough people that don’t want others kidnapped they are delivering groceries and are willing to eat paper if (illegally) stopped by ICE. Y’all should be celebrated forever…
That last Nazi collaborator . . . I am not an angry or violent person, but oh boy I cannot be held responsible for how I might react.
Which is why bullies won’t say that around you; they’ll just say it around a teacher who’s trying to protect that student.
It’s like when they held a child hostage to get his parents out of the house. Colored kids are subhuman bargaining chips to them.
There are credible reports from ICE observers in cars being lead to their own houses. To be more clear, ICE is cars being observed as is one’s constitutionally protected right, are driving to the homes of the cars observing them. This is intended to let the observers know that ICE knows who they are.
It does seem like a bad idea to let the general public determine a location for ICE to drive to in a way that will highlight which car is full of ICE agents, but that is just me.
Now I’m fairly sleep deprived at the moment so it could just be me, but I can’t parse your first paragraph at all, especially the second sentence.
I will break it down differently.
ICE agents are in cars, and the cars are traveling.
First Amendment Observers are following the cars with ICE agents.
The ICE agents are looking up the owner of the car that is following them.
The cars with ICE agents are driving to the homes of the observers, and pausing outside.
ICE agents are attempting to intimidate the observers by demonstrating that they know where the observers live.A couple key typos i think
I think hes saying ice notices a civilain tailing them, pulls their info, then drives to the tail’s adress, with the civilian observer still following, letting them know that the agents know who they are and can get to them any time, as a threat.
Paragraph 2 is pointing out this is a bad strategy for ice, as it allows opposition to lead ice into an ambush/ further identify cars:
Drive around and start tailing suspect cars- when they start going towards your home, mark them as confirmed undercover ICE vehicles,
OR have people waiting at the vehicles’ registered address to ambush them- could be pretty effective once people start shifting to violent resistance mode- either steal a car from someone out of town and use their car and property to set the trap, or your own old home if youre already marked and had to go underground.
Perfect, thank you!
think hes saying ice notices a civilain ta ICE is a civilian org, just like the police. They’d have much clearer more restrictions otherwise.
National guard, for instance, is actual military, and has a LOT of rules for deployment.
Well normally when you have a car full of dangerous felons following you then the best place to drive to was the police station but it’s 2026 and well, here we are…
I think it still might be the safest. Drive right through the front door. The local police are going to want to indict you, you did damage to city property and they have to answer to the city. The clusterfuck that is created if the guilty party is disappeared will be avoided at all costs.
In this case, the dangerous felons are being followed, but otherwise, yet.
