McAfee: Everyone's a faggot, and so can you

>inb4 "muh anti-islamj00++merikkkans" LARPing John McAfee, with the help of MGT [0], is building a "truly private smartphone". Nigger added switches on the back to physically disconnect the battery, camera, and microphone, as well as the antennas for WiFi, Bluetooth, & geolocation. No speaker switch, tho. With articles titled 'John McAfee’s ‘hack-proof’ phone is doomed to fail' it seems this fucker is headed down the correct path. Some quotes from the lungenpresse: >> None of this sounds like it’ll make a meaningful difference for users."" >> Hardware isn’t the problem when it comes to mobile privacy."" >> Privacy-focused hardware just isn’t that good of a business."" >> The market is already saturated with privacy phone failures."" Lol, these pozzed faggots can into journalism. Hardware has everything to do with security, software has everything to do with insecurity.”" -John McAfee [0]: mgtci.com/datastreamx/mgt-signs-letter-of-intent-to-develop-privacy-mobile-… [1]: newsweek.com/john-mcafee-privacy-phone-smartphone-590373

Maybe. Maybe not. But regardless of who is moonlighting for whom, even if it is entirely unpaid and inadvertent (which beggars some disbelief), this was a top picture shared on many social media outlets: https://i.redd.it/m2qtwn72m7ny.png Not shown by the mainstream media though. Who decides for you what to think? Whoever it is, doesn't seem very trustworthy right now. Here's a simple law that congress could add that would decuple security: "copyright is voided for software two years after the end of life, or if after one year a critical vulnerability is unpatched" Well, lawyers could go through it and convert it into legalcode for the judicial architecture to parse. Personally I am very much in favor of allowing free reverse engineering of DOS and early Windows products. Regardless, the most important use of non-government encryption is the protection of trade secrets (hence the design of portable offline cipher machines up to the late eighties). The rights of poor people never go into the calculus of the powerful or the free market. For some reason, this calculus currently seems to also exclude national advantage. Everyone is hacking each other, but no one seems to really... care? Conclusions are hard to come by in this world for some reason. What would it take to convince you that your world view was entirely wrong? What world view could possibly fit the current four-dimensional model of the world? How hard would it be to reorient the current network of nonprofits in favor of privacy to well... improve privacy? Design open source products that are as secure as an iPhone? How hard is it to see that there's something seriously wrong with the world?

Happy Labour day. Some people do the labour, some take the results. AFAICT this is "division of labour".

> Georgi Guninski guninski at guninski.com > Mon May 1 04:25:01 PDT 2017 > > Happy Labour day. It's fucking Loyalty Day. Not Labour Day. Not May Day. Loyalty Day. wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty_Day President Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed May 1, 1955, the first observance of Loyalty Day."" Loyalty Day is defined as follows in 36 U.S.C. § 115: (a) Designation - May 1 is Loyalty Day. (b) Purpose - Loyalty Day is a special day for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom. (c) Proclamation - The President is requested to issue a proclamation: (1) calling on United States Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on Loyalty Day; and (2) inviting the people of the United States to observe Loyalty Day with appropriate ceremonies in schools and other suitable places. > Some people do the labour, some take the results. Some people are made to supplant service by the beasts, and some are (((chosen))).

You faggot. Only a dipshit reads "false and highly dangerous" and thinks you aren't a letters agent. Get better b8.
