Texas are gonna use this to find out who belongs to minorities they wanna target: Queers, Women, racial minorities.

Get a VPN.

Right, so basically they’ll have a database of who has (had) what app, when, and where…

Which could include apps like Grindr (way to target the LGBT community), or like Signal (way to target Journalists, activists, and other privacy minded people). You can find out a lot about someone’s app choices and in a state like Texas, which is conservative and authoritarian, that can be used to go after certain demographics.

was…was this you?

This is going to be an absolute nightmare for schizophrenics.

Because usually they just mean that they’re just slightly to the left of them.

Went to Linux when I was a teenager, went back to Windows.

My return however is a lot more bittersweet. One of my cats died. The other cat went into mourning. Wanted to keep him company while doing my shit, so I took my old laptop and installed Xubuntu on it. While I was using it I realised that Linux had come a long, long way since I last used it and I could use it as a daily driver. Got a new laptop soon after and installed Mint on it.

Then Windows on my main PC started demanding I update. Realised I couldn’t afford to, both software and hardware wise, so I decided to go full Linux. Never looked back. Typing this on my Laptop running Fedora while I try kill time before an interview.

TL;DR: I came back to Linux because I wanted to hang out with my cat while he mourned.

I am never abandoning you, Linux

I mean if they ban pornhub they’ll go after everything else so best get a VPN now.

I’m sure some poor Civil Servant has had to sit one of them down and explain why it’s a bad idea to them, only be told to stfu with the most stupid excuse ever, leading to them putting their head in their hands and sobbing.

Can someone please send this to Keir Starmer with the subject like “Look what you did”.

Ooh how convenient.

Yeah, but there was still a terror attack, one where the police shot the wrong people, but that can still be used, can it not?

I could understand the hysteria if they had just suffered a terror attack or something and were riding public outrage

A Synagogue was attacked yesterday so yeah, they likely will be.

That is also a good point. Generally this is dangerous for all and sundry.

Basically, but what you forget is that Signal is also the standard for every Politician for their group chats because it’s secure, so the idea that they might lose their secure, leak-free* form of communication should worry MEPs and other politicians into taking action. Will it? I don’t know, politicians are very stupid when it comes to tech it seems.

no shit

When it hurts them or their paymasters economically.

Bold of you to assume they’re not already.
