Wait, those thing can attack people? Aren’t they pretty slow?

And I’m not sure this should be too heavily relied upon as a method to disable them. It’s possible they might do something to cover it or otherwise prevent it from being used, especially if it starts to be used frequently. Plus, it requires getting very close to it, which doesn’t seem ideal.

If power is decentralized, then how do you enforce that?

Could something like this be useful for that last idea? You’d still need to go home afterwards and run the stuff you collected through a program to try to decrypt it, but with a coordinated effort you might be able to find something.

In addition to trapping it, it might also be possible to get something tangled in the wheels. Might make it fall over if it doesn’t have any way of sensing that?

I seem to recall that they were often hired for union-busting purposes? Don’t remember where I heard that though.

I’m an artist. Can you show examples of the style you had in mind?

I don’t care about karma or whatever, it’s more of, you’d hope that if something got downvoted, it would be because there was some issue that needed to be addressed with it, and then said downvoter would hopefully post about what that was. Which was definitely not the case here. Though maybe I have my expectations too high in general? I never really used reddit, just glanced at some stuff on occasion.

The article says it’s generally a lethal injection.

…Apparently it actually is an anarchist slogan, taken from some book or something. Supposedly it makes more sense in context, but given that the context is apparently quite niche even among the left, I really can’t understand why they would use it there. It’s just begging for it to be taken out of context and used as more fodder against the left.

What books would you recommend?

Wait, do you really?

Would the ability of the NSA and possibly the police to decrypt phones be due to a backdoor, and if so, could installing a different OS on the phone help prevent that?

I know this is off-topic, but what was it like growing up there?

It looks like in order to decrypt it, they need access to a key that’s stored somewhere on your phone. Does anyone who has a better understanding of this know if encrypting your phone would be enough to prevent that (assuming they’re not able to get ahold of it while it’s unlocked)?

The guy who made that video said he got visited by the DHS for a previous video he did on police brutality, with them concerned about the video’s “anti-American sentiment”. So that’s kind of terrifying.
