Which is exactly why I’m not handing them out to random strangers. I’m only personally going to be giving them to friends who have frequently trusted me to have full access to their computers anyways

Ah, that definitely changes things a bit. I hope that goes well for you and the people you know!

As far as the physical booklet goes the reason I’m not going that route is mainly just from my personal experience writing instructions for factory workers, some of whom brag about being borderline illiterate. I’ve found that if you give people too much information in a single doccument then they tend to not read any of it.

That’s very fair. I’ve noticed that tendency within myself as well. Though I feel that a one page booklet, if well designed could manage to be brief enough to help somebody through a basic installation and use of Tor. It’s not much more complicated than installing your average desktop application.

It’d just have to be very light on wording for each page, and primarily use pictures.

My best geuss is if a single doccument has enough sections then it starts triggering some ingrained textbook phobia.

Perhaps, though it also might just be that dense or long documents quickly become overwhelming. So people just say “fuck it, I don’t care”.

Another aspect to this is just getting people in communication over secure methods. It’s harder for fascists to operate with an informed underground.

I will say though, the live tails disks is kinda sketchy. Nobody should be using random disks or drives they find outside. I think a full instruction set made from paper would be safer, after mitigating the issues with yellow dot tracking in printers.

Also using a one page booklet style might be a good idea. It’s small, easy to hide countless of them all over the place, and is light on resources.

KSP would beg to differ. Just ignore that it’s basically a cartoon equivalent.

Nonviolent protest should never be treated with prison.

Guys I was already jealous, you’re just rubbing it in now.

Thats pretty fucking neat if true. Definitely getting subnautica vibes as well.

Time to start an underground railroad I suppose.

Speaking of, everyone should be aware of the rainbow railroad:

As far as I’m aware, they don’t help get queer people out of the U.S., but it is only a mater of time with how things are headed. Donate if you can.

Open your eyes. This shit is gonna cause more deaths in Gaza, and outside of Gaza.

Oh I’m definitely angry too. I’ve been angry for years about how ass backwards my country is. We ought to have done this sort of policy decades before I was even born.

The “pro life” crowd everybody (it’s always been about control)

Mauch pays 300 euros, or the equivalent of $350, a month in rent for his one-bedroom apartment ― only 10 percent of his income.

I’m incredibly jealous

I’d say there’s a high chance that it will degrade conversations here. It seems people are far less likely to comment on a bot post, at least in part due to the spammy nature.

An instance wide ban for it makes sense.

That only works for so long before shit like the avian flu kills all the flocks.

One of the recommendations in this list, Half Earth Socialism, pretty easily stole half my day by being a wonderful distraction.

I think it’s a little bleak though. It takes a few tries to get it right. And it assumes a worldwide revolution against capital happened 3 years ago, a process that would probably take half a decade, and we haven’t even really started in real life.

It is fun though, and it’s nice that it teaches you some stuff along the way.

For sure. Context absolutely matters, ans the context here doesn’t establish a pattern from my understanding. So in this case it’s unlikely to be a dog whistle.

But people should still be aware of what the 88/1448 dog whistle looks like.

88 is typically used either on its own, or in full as 1488 by neo nazis and fascists. It’s a dog whistle.

On its own, it can be used accidentally, such as if you have 88 in your username because you were born in '88, but if paired with other behavioral patterns it can become damning.

Amazing. I forwarded this to my fiance, she’s gonna love it.
