And why would the army consider domestic tracking a threat? A threat to whom?

Pacifism isn’t the same as being a doormat. It doesn’t say he attacked anyone, just chased them out with a whip.

He is also reported to call his disciples to strap on their swords at one point though, and at least Peter took him literally. So he obviously wasn’t a “pacifism at all costs” kind of person.

And The Band Played Waltzing Mathilda comes to mind for me…. The Aussies already learned the lesson Americans are going to have to learn very soon.

Yup. He overturned their tables and yelled at them to get out of the temple.

Of course, that would be classified as terrorism today….

Yeah; two things: one, bears are no big deal if they’re accustomed to humans and humans are accustomed to them. Two, Texadans aren’t accustomed to grizzly bears; grizzlies don’t come to the islands. Since you need to know how to behave around grizzlies for it to be safe to be around them, this could end badly eventually.

On the other hand, a lone male isn’t dangerous like a mother, or a male showing off for another male. He could just decide to live alone and stay away from people where possible. There’s lots to eat around there that doesn’t belong to people.

I’d be more likely to just assume delivery quality was going downhill and look for another streaming video hoster/provider. Why would someone link slow speeds to a plugin that filters out the stuff you don’t want?

Currently blocking ads consists of keeping uBlock Origin up to date. Not blocking ads generally means going to a different platform after a single ad roll.

I have no issues with pre-roll ads; it’s the interstitial ones that drive me away.

Pacifist yes — definitely not an anarchist. He instructed his followers to obey all laws in all situations that didn’t conflict with loving God and loving other people. However, he despised “tradition” and flaunted it constantly.

If they know I’m blocking their ads, why wouldn’t they just block the video altogether? That’s what they currently do.

If it’s already blocked, slowing it down to “blocked… but slower” seems rather pointless?

Interesting writeup; it sounds from the description like ASIF always contains a single APFS partition?

I work a lot with VMs, disk images and emulators, but this seems like it’s only designed to work with Apple’s VM API, and only if the guest is macOS 13 or later. Will it even work with Linux?

Regular store digital walkie talkies come with “encryption” these days, which is essentially an xor encryption on the channel packets. Trivial to decode, but the person has to first know what frequencies you’re on and then what shift you’re using.

So, it won’t stop a government from providing the decoded data as evidence, but it would likely stop anyone from knowing what you’re saying in real-time.

I’m waiting for a party split over her bold statement that she built the party.

So then there’d be two parties, both population: 1.
