Excuse me, but self respecting mathematicians calculate it properly.

Now let’s see, it was Dolly Parton had…

Jesus.

Lmao shit dude that’s like something out of an 80s corporate disinformation campaign.

Beautiful.

Well that’s a damn shame.

Oh so now the ICC is on the table, and a legitimate enough threat to be considered worthy of notice.

If I recall we have legislation that was designed around preventing any American soldier from being prosecuted by something like the ICC, I don’t know how far up the chain that could be applied however.

Rather interesting given that I’m not familiar with any ongoing effort to even look into charges, at the least it does demonstrate a certain understanding of the weight of orders given. At the very least, it gives more strength to domestic opposition in whatever discovery is done by the Senate or House in the future.

Pain

But shareholders right?

Hundred percent. I’ll take holes in my shoes and staying warm by layering clothes on top of my blankets again over going hungry again.

How did I even get here lmao

Unfortunately, most managers cannot recognize the benefits of letting workers start their commute when said workers start the clock, and eat on the job if necessary reaps such vast rewards in long term employee retention and output.

It’s more the inverse, the host OS running a VM will fingerprint any information you are sending out.

If your plan is to just run it offline through a VM, then it’s unlikely to leave much persistent information.

Tails is meant as a secure non-persistent tool for communication at it’s base, and that’s what it is best for. I might recommend looking at running a properly containerized environment on your VM for getting similar effects if you’re working on software and OS testing, it’s how I go. Think rolling vs production environments.

Yes and no.

It’s point is to limit identifiable information for any operations done on the os. Using it within a VM only sets it within a box, any use of the OS to connect to the outside world, or create some file with longer term persistence will finger print you as that main OS is the pass-through between the VM and the outside world.

Giving an example of how I might use it would help:

If I’m speaking with an international activist, early career reporter, or high-risk private sector worker, I have a custom tails that I can flash and offer them to use.

For a private sector worker it has a doc on some basic information on requesting whistle-blower protection from a given government, agency contact points, etc.

For a reporter or activist it might have a doc on how to ensure they have a social safety net for informing others of their movements, basic tools for performing field work if local computers might be being monitored, and of course how to connect to the internet in areas where traffic monitoring is routine.

I can have that information persistent on the drive only useful for reference, while the rest of the OS can be used as intended without being easily fingerprinted as intended, but only if that drive is the ONLY thing that’s acting as any form of operation on a computer. If it’s on a VM, installed onto an onboard drive, it looses some of it’s ability to act as a real tool.

Stop recording everything in your life.

I operate as pretty much a one man show most times.

Even as I try to get people interested in international efforts, domestic politics, or just volunteerism, it’s often like beating a dead horse so to speak. Most are just uninterested, don’t commit, or outright leave my hanging.

Every once in a while though someone does, even simply sharing their perspective or thoughts on how to approach a given plan, proposal, policy. Small conversations can really help when I often have to try to juggle five hats, all while only having my own background to use.

I’d guess your degree was in ancient history right?

I’m proud of you for promoting a genuine historical viewpoint of the human experience, and promoting that as a way to look toward the potential future. It’s a very legitimate and important perspective to have in life, and you better us all by trying to keep it up.

I’ve been transitioning further towards the self hosting side of things again.

Makes life easier as a near invisibly small org, given the scope of my needs doesn’t generally require tons of enterprise subs or seats for the bigger stuff to get the job done.

If you use it as non-persistence thumb drive, it’s pretty good. There are still ways you can start to fingerprint it’s use but in general as long as you do everything right it’s solid.

My town has the sweetest little cafe in town, with two tvs on a constant rotation of Italian landscapes overlaid by music.

At this point it’s almost a matter of time until one of those channels starts using it.

I miss making model ships, photography, camping.

Just don’t have the time anymore.

24/7 stores is an easy one, same with the early internet.

Personally, I’d say commuting. People are getting way crazier with how they drive these days, more distracted overall, and just plain stupid.
