Casual Conversation

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Donโ€™t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

    Naturally. And no one would lift a finger to help you. There's a handful of phrases that I hear in the office world that make my skin literally crawl.

    Years 2000 -2013. I got out of the US Army in 2000. My wife and I bought our first house, got great jobs and things were just so great. That was such a great 13 years.

    Hereโ€™s an idea.. CHECK YOUR LUGGAGE I swear airlines need to ban carry on luggage. Pretty much every problem with air travel is overhead storage.

    Your concern is valid, COINTELPRO never went away https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO. However there are a LOT of people who don't have a network and need to build one. The OP that I'm replying to went to a small town protest. It's completely valid to network at a corner in a small town square. Most importantly, segment all comms. Have a friend group, an organizing group and a public group. If you're able sign up for a burner number. https://www.phreeli.com/ or any of these apps https://beebom.com/best-burner-phone-number-apps/ Obviously practice due diligence and only sign up for what you think is applicable. Third spaces are disappearing and they were always the place where revolutions were started. A protest is a completely fine place to meet organizers, other people who are aligned and people who have experience in the movement. Resources to organize can be found here https://www.fiftyfifty.one/organizer-resources Similarly you can find people who are aligned here https://www.fiftyfifty.one/groups Paper is a perfectly fine way to setup one time pads https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad, or something you can destroy by burning or eating. Currently people mobilized in Minnesota are using it to great effect. They're writing down the addresses of people that need food aid and making sure to not share them over facebook or store them in their phone. If caught, the volunteers delivering much needed food are instructed to eat the paper. How to organize a rapid response from a very high level with further detailed resources. https://southerncoalition.org/resources/rapid-response-101/ Basically what I'm getting at is with Palintir working so closely with ICE and all of the other electronic surveillance they have, ICE knows if you're at a protest. They already know pretty much who is doing what. The only way we win is if there are too fucking many of us helping to make those databases useless. When every one is on the list nobody is.

    i didnt expect to find such a niche group of ppl here either understandable. I kinda feared there were privacy reasons as well, and i have possibly de-annonymised you a bit, but still messaged anyway.

    It really depends on the field of open source software you're in. Custom roms and modding of devices in general is always pretty community dependent. The reason for that is the variety of hardware additional to the missing specification and sometimes missing standardisation from the vendors. It's one of the harder fields to get your hands on if you want things to just-work. The software often gives you the ability to configure the things vendors hide but on the other hand also expects you to do it manually. But don't give up, most of the times it gets better after you passed the first few hurdles and got a little more knowledge in the field you're in.

    Oh that's right. I think I was just thinking of another gag. "I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this." "I was thinking the same thing. That John Denver's full of shit, man."
