  • What we need most at this point are hardware manufacturers that aren’t in bed with the CIA.

    for a long time i have had the feeling that basically there’s only a very small number of hardware manufacturers in the world, we all know them, TSMC and others, and basically i suspect that the CIA puts some kind of spyware directly into the hardware. maybe i’m wrong here, but i have a gut feeling. we need independent hardware manufacturers, maybe stationed in europe or somewhere else in the third world altogether.

    you said it yourself, encrypted apps don’t mean anything when the underlaying system is already flawed. that is the operating system and the hardware. first we need better hardware, then we need a clean, non-invasive operating system, then we need good apps. starting with good apps alone doesn’t actually do that much when your data gets siphoned off through other apps nonetheless.





  • deep down for sure, i mean, if you dig deep enough into the mariana trench you’ll find sunshine when you exit the planet through the other side

    but honestly, does it matter? i mean, the purpose of a system is what it does. it does not matter whether they believe in the future deep down as long as they act like it. so we must ensure policies that bring us into the future, independent of whether our rulers want to or not. that’s what we can actually talk about and measure, everything below the surface is not actually something that we can determine.


    edit: oh lol i didn’t even see that was a submarine. i thought it was a surveillance camera at first. joke flew over my head.
