There seems to be a gross misunderstanding of how everything works here. Any platform will need to provide data to authorities when “asked properly” - as in, receives an actual order from some enforcing body that has authority on the subject in question. No commercial company will fight the CIA in court to protect your data. The best you can hope for is that they minimize what kind of data they collect about you in the first place - in the case of E2EE, they will only have access to IPs and other metadata such as connection timestamps and nothing else. But all of the services you listed will collect at least IPs and most will do phone numbers as well. The only difference with Telegram is that they’re transparent about it. You can either avoid using commercial platforms altogether, or use them in a way such that data retrieved from them will be useless. But believing that “Signal will never give my IP to law enforcement” is delusional.

Indeed… IPv6 needs to be actively disabled, not enabled, by default.

Can’t you hide bot accounts from your settings?

Unless your ISP provides IPv6 connectivity, which gives every endpoint a globally-routable address. Firewalling at the router only works because of NAT.

He’s barely coherent because he’s Trump, not because he’s 78.

How so? Even if it’s a no-profit, PBS is still a business. Even though they are operated like one in the US, political parties are not supposed to be businesses.

There is no need for official political merch anyway, it’s not a band or a sports team. I don’t mind if people or associations make and wear them, bit why does a political party need to sell stuff?

I can’t change my router’s DNS

Do you mean you can’t change the DNS server in the DHCP settings or the server the router itself uses? In the first case you might be able to use Pi-Hole’s DHCP server instead, while for the latter it shouldn’t be an issue - I actually usually leave upstream servers configured there to avoid loops. BTW, you might also be able to flash OpenWRT to your router

A computer that is used by a user, aka “not a server”

I’m sure he’s devastated.

Not true, SSH keys need their passphrase to be used. If you don’t set one, that’s on you.

How though? With nasty posts on the interwebs?

Probably not worth trying to actually use today. I’d leave it as it is, imo it’s better as a small piece of history - Android on PC is pretty niche

What is a “drug” and what isn’t is an arbitrary, made-up distinction. There are only molecules.

Sure the AI can break it down for the humans

Depends on who built the model, and the selection of the data used to train it. AI holds a lot of potential in my book, if you use it right. But never stop being critical of the answers you receive, and be aware of they work and their shortcomings

Maybe they could never see the actual pharaoh, but what I’m saying is that “The Pharaoh” was itself the “face” of power, and also where power and influence actually resided. Now we have surveillance and propaganda perpetuated by either known but opaque actors (e.g. governmental agencies, corporations) or simply unknown ones. You can believe or not in an international “elite” conspiracy, but by that I also mean random teen hacker groups, data brokers, gov agencies of nations other than the one you live in, etc.

History does not only repeat, and simply looking at the past can make you blind to the novel ways society has transformed. For example, oppression has been a constant throughout history, but it never has been as faceless as it is today. Lords and kings have been replaced by corporations and agencies operating across borders, in ways and with purposes that I don’t think anyone who’s not actually involved with can claim they fully understand.

Am I having a stroke or are you?

indicate the absence of select known fungal toxins and compounds such as the hallucinogen psilocybin and cannabinoids.

The article says that the tests say there is no psilocybin.
