Karl Popper’s paradox of intolerance is about how we can’t tolerate intolerance in society.

It isn’t a cloak for you to wear when you want to be intolerant and feel justified. Nor is it a proscription to dehumanize and celebrate suffering.

Those are the actions of the intolerant, which we will not tolerate here.

Similarly, it’s fine for those who want others to suffer, to suffer themselves.

The irony.

So you mean people like OP? You?

Don’t confuse feeling outraged or righteous for an actual moral high ground.

Hey, asshole, not everyone who lives in a rural area and is poor is a Trump supporter. Nor, would being a Trump supporter mean that it's okay to let them freeze or cheer at other people suffering. You're engaging in exactly the same toxic dehumanization as the MAGA crowd.

If you think rural voters are your enemy or the source of our problems, then you're woefully ignorant about the current political situation or how political influence works.

You're very much right to be angry, but make sure you know where that anger should be directed before making outrage bait posts like this.

I’m sure that is great for battery life

Between the update happening and you running the script all of the re-enabled telemetry grabs all of your logs and uploads them.

You wouldn’t even make it through login after the update reboot before this happens.

You cannot remove this telemetry and also receive updates. This is by design.

I’d switch to Windows but I don’t want to use an OS that requires digging through shady online instructions and running random power shell scripts in order to stop it from spying on me until the next update.

I disabled telemetry on Linux(Arch, btw) by not installing enshittified corporate spyware masquerading as an operating system.

Are there any open-source tools that allow me to disable telemetry for Adobe,

Ocular/Scribus

Windows, Microsoft

Linux, Linux Foundation

NVIDIA, AMD

The drivers don’t have telemetry, it’s the software that comes with it.

On Linux you can just install the driver from your package manager without the need for any third party applications.

GitHub Desktop,

Docker Desktop,

VS Code

VS Codium, open source VS Code.

what would be really cool is if it binned the storage keys for one user and not the other, silently. That way you could actually protect your data, without being martyred.

If you leave the primary account 'blank' and use a secondary account for your personal use then you can do that.

When you logout of a secondary profile, GrapheneOS zeroes the keys from memory so that even an attacker with full control of the phone could not retrieve the keys unless you entered your password to re-generate them.

I feel like it should also open into a fake account that looks like a real account so they are busy on that while the real account is getting deleted. They should probably start with items listed by the user as important to delete first.

It doesn't bother with files. The GrapheneOS wipe process deletes (by overwriting with 0s) the encryption headers on the drive and zeros the keys out of memory before shutting down.

You should never, ever allow anyone access to your unlocked phone that you don't trust. Even an otherwise smartphone could be exploited if it is unlocked because it exposes a much larger attack surface.

Most phones aren’t zeroing out the SSD on factory reset AFAIK, might not even format the partitions.

He was using a Pixel and he fast wiped the phone. That means that he was probably using Graphene OS and entered the duress password when the agents told him to unlock his phone. See: https://grapheneos.org/features#duress

What?

My only other comment in this post is:

Wow, one article about one guy has got you quoting fascist memes.

Man, these comments.

It's one thing to recognize the irony of this situation.

It's another thing to make racist comments and repeat fascist memes about 'garbage people'. Take that shit somewhere else.
