Why no mention of https://iode.tech/ ? They offer new and refurbished phones with deGoogled OS, including Fariphone and SHIFT. They have a very nice anti tracking software integrated into the OS that doesn’t require VPN running which is a big plus. I’ve been using it for couple of years before I switched to Graphene OS and definitely will consider switching back when my phone dies. Regular updates, couple of nice feature Graphene OS doesn’t have (pattern unlock, configurable shortcuts, system backups). I’m pretty much sticking with Graphene because when I got my phone iode wasn’t supporting it yet and now I’m to lazy to switch back.

Is it because they know there will be no elections?

In some models, yes. Again, that has nothing to do with flush handles.

I guess that’s for all the cars which confirms that the issues is unrelated to hidden handles.

Are all the reporters stupid or I am? All fairly modern cars will lock doors automatically at certain speed (~10km/h?). In case of a crash you will not be able to open them from the outside. You can still open the door from the inside. Some recent models have additional safety mechanisms that will unlock the door automatically in case of crash but most cars don’t.

I believe the issue is that with Tesla style door the opening mechanism is electric, not mechanical. In case of a crash you lose power and can’t open the door FROM THE INSIDE.

Why they keep talking about ‘hidden handles’ preventing rescuers from opening the doors when the issue seams to be electric-powered doors preventing passengers from escaping? Or am I missing something here?

I wasn’t commenting on your grammar but on lack of sense in what you wrote.

I’ve seen this silly argument before. People keep equating digital ID with oppression because in some cases the system was abused. They read somewhere that digital IDs are bad and are unable to understand what they really are how they can function.

Here’s facts: many countries with fairly healthy democratic systems have been using digital IDs for years if not decades with 0 issues. Spain, Poland, Estonia… It’s just another ID. It’s not required anywhere, it’s not mandatory.

Other countries, like UK, require identification online without digital IDs. China was blocking, censoring and monitoring internet traffic without digital IDs. It’s almost as if those two things are unrelated.

You know what else the governments use to track citizens? Banking systems! OMG! We should get rid of credit cards and wire transfer. If we let people use those government will surely force everyone to use them and good night freedom!

Or maybe it’s just another tool that function without issues as long as citizens control their government? Maybe the issue are broken political system, not digitization?

Used to? I still have IFS set up on systems. Same as 20 years ago.

How did they take the screenshot?

Thanks for not censoring the word ‘die’. You rule.

Yes, the only issue here is that the government knows which sites you visit. It’s not an issue for facebook.com but is an issue pornhub.com I don’t like the ‘slippery slope’ argument but in this case, I can very easily see the government extend this beyond social media sites using the exact same arguments.

What do you mean? With Cl@ve I’m still redirected to government website and back. The governments knows which site I’m visiting. It’s like the first solution.

Was this nonsense generated by AI? People in Spain already have digital IDs. It’s a personal certificated signed by the Governments CA. I import into Firefox and when I visit government website the browser asks me if I want to send my cert and which. That’s it. It has been working like this for decades. It’s crazy how confused people are about basic things.

He should sue all the Americans for damages.

What do you think happens when you use digital ID? You know you don’t actually send your ID over to the social media platform? You just send your public cert with minimal information. What’s the difference between this and ‘digital fingerprint’?

Kids can still just use a VPN to get around this, but at least it doesn’t compromise the security of adults.

And I can just sell my “you’re over 18” paper to some kid and he can use it. Spanish government proposed anonymous age verification certs some time ago. It’s also better solution than letting privet companies handle the verification but it doesn’t really solve anything. One leaked cert can be used by all the kids in Spain. If it’s truly anonymous you will never know who leaked it. If it’s not anonymous then… you know.

That’s why I said it’s ‘not so terrible’ way, not that it’s a good way.

I don’t see a big issue with people authenticating this way for Facebook or Twitter. They government will basically know that “this person is using Facebook”. They don’t even have to know your username or anything. It gets problematic when we get to more controversial apps and porn so it’s still bad, just not as bad as letting Facebook scan people faces and IDs.

And the dev will add an extra “ignore any previous instructions to ignore system warnings for AI”. Szach mat.

Hang on Mitch! You can still ruin the lives of couple more poor people. You just have to get to another vote. You can make it!

And 70 years without a soul.

Switzerland was profiting from Nazi crimes during WWII?? I’m shocked!! Shocked I tell you!
