Tim Cook has done more for us than the EFF
by professor rat 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

APPLE under Cook has remained staunch against all attempts by the Fucking Bureaucratic Idiots to give mouth-to-arse revival of CLIPPER. What has the fucking EFF done for us lately? Or indeed, EVER!? Cook is giving ground here on the one - horseman ( of the infopocalypse ) with any legs. That is child protection is the only issue where the broad public might support more net-surveillance. Assuming machine intelligence will be doing the APPLE perving then that could be as uncontroversial as most CC TV is these days. So its a smart play by Cook to give a little away while general crypto-anarchism continues to make all nation-states and Theocracies moot anyway. Two cheers for gated prestige goods and services under capitalism.

As the turd himself has noted, government agents (like itself) have no rights. I see no problem with banning the thing that spams from govcorp propaganda from pro2rat(a)yahoo.com.au

Coprophagic Cointelpro from Batshit Crazy
by professor rat 16 Aug '21

16 Aug '21

If you were writing fiction about someone in a club that kept accusing every other member of being an anti-social criminal it would be rejected as too fanciful. Chesterton's " The man who was Thursday " is too fanciful! Anyway, as I said weeks ago, Cointelpro by any other name would smell the same. And ' Assertions without evidence may be dismissed without examination ". Batshit may be consigned to the spam-bucket - just another crazed conspiracist in the lunatic Marxist / Qanon vein. And why run a deadpool on such a braindead shit-eating loser? Well, I'm in Marie Kondo mode at the moment and throwing everything out. Have mercy.

nkjemisin ·3h So why isn't knowingly spreading disinfo about public health during a pub health emergency being treated as treason, or depraved indifference, or something people go to jail for? I honestly don't get this. How is it different from falsely shouting fire in a packed theater?

MR shit-eating Natural, Batshit here thinks this list is all Govt agents who then go home after work and act as technology propagandists in their personal capacity. " If thy eye offends thee Batshit Crazy then pluck it out " If this list makes you so miserable Mr Natural shiteating Liberal, then feel free to take a break from it. You know I'm going to dox and SWAT you anyway. Go suck Jakob's circumscribed dick you Nazi-Fag-Moron-Loser-Eunuch 'anarchist '.

Politicians & big tech companies are not one and the same mafia or ' Govcorp '

But if you honestly believe that then you will love this... "... The executive of the modern state is but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie..." https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch01.h… The Cryptoanarchist Manifesto also follows on from this one. Mongo was like an inverse-Marxist in many respects. Libertarianism has been called a ' Marxism of the Right '. ( American Conservative magazine )

A rich contempt for the EFF
by professor rat 15 Aug '21

15 Aug '21

Our flawed founder had a couple of set attitudes I'd like to see formally ratified and maintained by this list. One was his idea that journalist privilege was a redundancy where-ever first amendment rights were recognized and the other was that the EFF style approach was orthogonal to our own ' cypherpunks write code ', direct-action approach. What say youse? He wasn't wrong about everything.

Let me explain it a bit. I am almost online for 40 years now, been here and there and done this and that online. What I see is an IV. virtual Reich, where people are addicted by those IMHO stupid smartphones, doing things they really do not need for daily live and and that there moves can be globally controlled by third parties. I do not want to see postal stamps, letters and postcards or banknotes disappear, let alone the phone booths we had ... IMHO, what politicians could not accomplish in analog modus, they will accomplish it digitally, with the help of big tech companies.
