I heard a libertarian viewpoint that seems to make sense to me, and that’s that the police would be required to carry liability insurance. So if they were horrible fucking people, then they would get quickly priced out of the market with their insurance rates and have to find another job of where they weren’t hurting people.
Exactly. Then the states would have the freedom to enforce the rules they wanted to within their borders. And people would have the ability to choose what rules they wanted to live under.
Oh no. I mean completely abolish the federal government. No federal government at all. Zero. Not a zilch. The federal government is too many steps removed from the people and does not give a shit. At least if we had only the 50 state governments, they would be closer to the people and have to care more about what the people thought.
To be fair, the big reason for being against the cops is qualified immunity. Even though not many cases require qualified immunity, the fact that it exists at all is a serious problem. If the police do something wrong, they should be able to be sued in court and let a jury hear both sides of the argument. I don’t think all individuals who are police are bad people, but they work for the government have no duty to serve and enforce laws passed down by goons.
Oh, well I likely would not be running a repeater, at least not right away. I would probably be sticking with just the handheld device.
Exactly. Apparently this is a feature. And I find it to be absolutely fucking fantastic because fuck the police. Anything that makes their job harder is worth doing.
Some federal employees are considering leaving their jobs or relocating due to fears of job instability and moral conflicts with potential policy shifts.
Fantastic. The fewer federal parasites, the better.
With all of the matrix issues, with Federation and Matrix org having so many users and moderation and stuff like that, have you considered opening a SimpleX room as well?
This is not for devices where the pin has been entered incorrectly too many times. This is for devices that the police have seized and are awaiting forensics to pull data from.
Yeah, don’t get me wrong. Disabling the biometrics and requiring the pin is a good step. But I would like to see somebody test it to figure out whether it actually goes into BFU mode or not.
Does it or does it just simply disable biometrics but leave it an AFU? I would hope that if it’s going to disable the biometrics, that it would put it in BFU. But I do not know.
Just set the time too longer than you would be asleep. So in this screenshot above you could set it to 18 hours and most people at least that I know do not go 18 hours without unlocking their phone at least one time which would then reset the timer.
Whatever it is, incompetence, bug, or feature, I love it.
Yeah, I knew that that was available, but I do not know whether it puts the phone in the before first use mode, like you mentioned, or just disables the biometrics, but leaves the device in after first use mode.
You could always take 10 seconds and invoke the operating system’s hard shutdown command if you have the 10 seconds to spare. On Android at least, that’s pressing and holding power and volume up for 10 seconds. But I do not know what it would be on the iPhone.
Apparently, there’s at least a chance that it is an intentional feature instead of a bug. There’s a comment link below somewhere in this thread that mentions it.
SWEET!
If you have the 10 seconds, you could use the operating system’s hard reboot function, which at least on Android is pressing and holding power and volume up for 10 seconds. But I don’t know what it is on the iPhone.
I guess if you have the 10 seconds to do so, you could invoke the operating system hard reboot function, which at least on Android is pressing and holding power and volume up for 10 seconds. I don’t know what it is on the iPhone.
Edit: Too bad there’s not some sort of haptic to let you know that it accepted the command before it shuts down though.
Kind of funny. Windows mail is actually the only Microsoft app I actually kind of like. At least design wise. I like how friendly and kind of mobile UI-ish it looks.
