  • This literally happened to my great grandfather in the late 1920s. He bought a car, got distracted by the sight of a pretty lady, and drove into a swamp. He was yelling “whoa! whoa!” and pulling back on the steering wheel while the car went off the road. That is what he had done his whole life to stop a horse drawn buggy in an emergency. He told my grandfather, who was riding with him at the time, that he could have the car if he could get it out of the swamp. He said he was going back to his horse and buggy because a horse wouldn’t have run off the road into a swamp no matter what he looked at. He continued to use a horse and buggy for all of his transportation needs until he died in the mid 1960s. #FuckCars








  • I can’t shell out the money for another phone but I deleted my google account and replaced all the Google apps on my phone with FOSS apps. I don’t have root access on my phone so I can’t actually get rid of all of the Google apps. Best I can do until I need to replace my phone. Fortunately I never purchased anything from Google.







  • Just being in a chat group on Signal where classified information is being shared and not reporting it is a crime if you have a security clearance. I used to have a security clearance. Classified information cannot be discussed outside of a secure compartmentalized information facility or SCIF for short. Classified information cannot be stored on your personal phone. You can’t take hand written notes about what was discussed inside the SCIF, outside of the SCIF. Digital communications of classified material can only take place on a secure government network; SIPR network for Secret information, JWICS and NSA Net for Top-Secret information. Those networks work exactly like the common internet everyone uses, which is called the the NIPR network, but only people with approved accounts and a security clearance can sign into SIPR, JWICS and NSA Net and the computers that can access the networks are inside a SCIF. Everyone who was in that Signal group and had a security clearance should be looking at a long prison sentence for not reporting the leak.
