Knowledge is power, if corporations or other organisations know more about you as you know about them, they have an knowledge advantage over you that lets them politically disenfranchise you. Class societies have a class war going , and the surveillance stuff is them following the doctrine of "know your enemy". Even if you are just a rightist social democrat that wants bourgeois democracy with welfare capitalism, you have to insist on completely removing the state and corporations from personal devices and home networks, or you' won't even be able to have bourgeois democracy.

Even if the proletariat has robust control over the state you would still make personal devices off limits, people store their personal lives in these things and it's almost like violating bodily autonomy if you give powerful organisations access to personal devices. You wouldn't want to be frisked by the police in the offline world even if you have nothing to hide, so it's not ok to do that in the online world.

It's also really stupid for strategical considerations, the NSA or big tech is not securing the access they have to your machines, so even if you are fine with making people corporate serfs without political rights, you would still hand them over to basically moderately tech-able organisations that can buy cyber-break-in tools from the grey market. Basically the backdoors to your computer and communications will become available to your local mafia, eventually, because big organisations leak what ever trick they develop.

For a strong socialist society the reasons are different, people cannot be politically disenfranchised even if you backdoor devices. But it would still compromise your technology and infrastructure. You have no reason to believe that a socialist society would be better at securing "the other end of the backdoor". It makes your society vulnerable to coordination-collapse-attacks. An example of this type of attack was the Soviet block dissolution. The entire economic system relied on the central planning buro for economic coordination and once the neo-liberal coup was able to bPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

GOOD post.

Five ways in which tech workers are organizing

Five ways in which tech workers are organizing

I've worked in Big Tech and holy shit are people brainwashed to dick suck the company and it's leaders.

>>8227
It was just interesting material to introduce other tech people to organizing and give them a lens to understand what is happening in the field.

It would also be interesting to know if you can think of other forms that you find relevant

Yes.

Of course it is, goy.

Depends on where you live. Refusing to use a cellphone would force you to become a homeless scavenger in "smart cities"

So did Ed agree to be a speaker for this obvious scam conference just to dunk on Tulsiani at the end?accelerationAcceleration

>"LOOK UP"
Did he mean the other speakers in the call?

The indian boog probably paid Snowden to kiss his ass and give him more credibility and didn't expect this to happen.

The Intercept is on a path to total self-destruction. In this episode, BTFO by one of the most hated dinosaur tech companies in the US. What a time to be alive.

>the FBI is moving forward with a probe into how classified documents were leaked to The Intercept for its article revealing details about a database of terrorism suspects
>Erik Wemple, writing for The Washington Post, noted the conspicuous refusal of The Intercept to use the term "targeted killings" to refer to the U.S. drone program, instead referring to the drone strikes as "assassinations"
>The Intercept's founder "has relentlessly criticized Israel and its political leadership, and at times has invoked tropes of dual loyalty in attacking the pro-Israel community"
>it was reported that members of the U.S. military had been banned from reading The Intercept
from a quick reading the intercept seems to make the american government pissed, am i supposed to hate them more than fucking oracle of all things?

There is though. I found this app on F-Droid called SpotiFlyer that literally does that. I'm not a tech expert, but I trust F-Droid apps for privacy and it only wants permission to access storage do download the file, but you can see that on their F-droid page.

hopefully you don't get vanned

Fuck, I guess I gotta delete some of my commie shit from Drive too. Fuck fuck fuck

last month google won a 4 billion shekel bid to build big data for Israel, i guess silencing Palestinian voices was part of the deal.
>>8161
op should be fine, but probably shouldn't travel to Israel, maybe op could bump this thread once a week to let us know about his personal safety
>>8205
Yeah maybe stop using the corporate cloud altogether, it's turning into hostile territory. The Palestinian cause used to be a human rights issue, if their algorithms now think that's terrorism they are pretty far gone already.

The true path is to have a dynamic IP, back up the files, and continually upload it every time you get banned on a new account. If they rangeban your whole ISP you have won, this means two big corporations grinding against one anothertranshumanismTranshumanism

Why would a flying aircraft carrier even need a runway? Just drop the aircraft from the bottom and they'll attain the velocity to fly.

>>8157
>Why would a flying aircraft carrier
Something that big would have such a powerful exhaust that it becomes a wind-storm weapon as soon as it flies low over the ground, it wouldn't need any dedicated weapons or fighters.

What the fuck is that?

Get rid of all the accounts you don't need, even going as far as hunting down all the old stuff you no longer use and purging that as well
Get a password manager to manage the accounts you do have
Use something like pomodoro to force yourself to do something if you can't get yourself to do it naturally
Physically write down what you need to do in the morning, then keep a backup in an application like Emacs org-mode if you need to. Do the most annoying/tedious work first if you can.
Think of your long-term goals and also physically write those down, then make a digital backup
Sync your password manager and goals across devices, make sure your goals are somewhere will you see them a lot so that you are reminded of them
On your phone, delete all the apps you don't need and shut off all the notifications that aren't important

Hey my landlord does the same thing, that is a pretty good idea

>>8153
this isn't Final Fantasy the military doesn't use airships

>>8441
Yes and no, airships for recon still have uses if there is no risk of them attacked and DARPA is devloping drone airships that job would be just sit on a boarder and listen in to radio signals with a nation they are technically not at war with.

Hover your drone in front of it. Then when it crashes into it, you sue Amazon for $100000000000000000000000000000.

Is making money off suing companies really as comically easy as they show in TV?
