I have one device where I installed the APK straight from Signal themselves. That is the only device where it has updated itself.

My other devices all use the Play version through Aurora Store, and always updates through that.

Maybe there's a config/setting somewhere?

But also, maybe don't use F-Droid for apps regarding privacy.

I've tried many many times to set the NSFW tag, but it isn't working... added to title

The new age is upon us

And yet the past refuses to rest in its shallow grave

For those who hide behind the false image of the son of man

shall stand before God!!! It has begun

The beginning of the end

Yeah..

Yeah... yeah, yeah

.

The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish

A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist

Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond

And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran

They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam

When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran

This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings

Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings

I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish

The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ

You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white

Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy

Conservative political right wing, ideology

Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation

Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination

Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration

How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?

Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves

Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm

You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?

Human rights violations, we continue the saga

El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua

And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison

Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism

.

It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain

Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto

The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle

A bandana full of glittering, generality

Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?

Read about the history of the place that we live in

And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

.

Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs

Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage

The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage

Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension

And they refuse to even mention, European intervention

Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams

U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's

Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams

Media censorship, blocking out the video screens

A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain

Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'

The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason

A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'

And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom

Cause you fucked the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon

It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib

Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid

Where nobody gives a f*ck whether you die or you live

I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life

But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique

Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks

You don't give a f*ck about us, I can see through your facade

Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God

Bitch n****z scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard

.

It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain

Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change

They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto

The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle

A bandana full of glittering, generality

Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?

Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you

While you hanging your flag out your project window

.

Yeah..

The fourth branch of the government AKA the media

Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials

As if their opinion was at all unbiased

A machine shouldn't speak for men

So shut the f*ck up you mindless drone!

And you know it's serious

When these same media outfits are spending millions of dollars on a PR campaign

To try to convince you they're fair and balanced

When they're some of the most ignorant, and racist people

Giving that type of mentality a safe haven

We act like we share in the spoils of war that they do

We die in wars, we don't get the contracts to make money off 'em afterwards!

We don't get weapons contracts, n****!

We don't get cheap labor for our companies, n****!

We are cheap labor, n****!

Turn off the news and read, n****!

Read... read... read...

alternative question to ask: is it advertised by an "influencer"? If yes, it's a scam.

 

On their long journey that leads them

Towards the light,

Winston Smith shall be their guide.

They′re trying so hard to believe

That two and two always makes five.

(That two and two makes five.)

Reason won't concuss the irrevocable truth.

And if there′s contradiction,

Keep the faith, burn the proof.

To protect ourselves from the

Superstitions of priests and moralists and the

Trickery of evangelists;

Let us be done with the idea

Of moral law.

.

Where do your values come from?

From inside yourself?

Or from some self-appointed moral cognoscentes

Who disguised their own ideas

As universal concepts?

God is dead.

Indeed, you are not wrong. Such is the state of many, many things.

I admit it's easy enough to say, "let's get rid of it", but without a solution it's meaningless to say and is just an ideology.

Looks like a WikiHow graphic on how to do it, that's crazy

oh shit, I did not even consider that could happen. I uh... need to go tear down an instance I don't really use anymore.

I don't think the SPF / DKIM / DMARC stuff is overly complex nor the core of the problem.

It's not the core of the issue, but the average joe that is a hobbyist self-hoster it will be.

IMO, the core issue is that there is no standard whatsoever. People just do whatever the hell they want with these records, pretty much. Microsoft and Google do it differently than each other, even.

The only solution for me is that we move on from email as a society.

Mmm. I like your veracity.

Unfortunately this has been going on few several months now. YT is actively blocking IPs if they think they are from data centers, VPNs, or proxies.

They've also been doing some under the hood cryptographic changes that cause breakages from time to time in Invidious (the backend for FreeTube)

I see, I've never looked super deep into F-Droid or released anything there, I didn't realize that a requirement for releasing on F-Droid was that they build it. Just read their inclusion criteria, interesting.

ETA: Read through the whole article, and godamn. I don't really trust anything Android any way, but this is actually a pretty damn big WTF from F-Droid. Thanks for sharing!

I'm just not convinced it can fool google and meta

Yea, this is a great and healthy skepticism to have. It's why I went deep on this little research tangent.

Besides browser fingerprinting, there are many other ways to tie you to online behavior. For instance, the DAITA thing has nothing to do with browser fingerprints, but specifically the size of your inbound and outbound traffic. The NSA uses that to figure out your behavior and link on-VPN and off-VPN traffic together with great success, regardless of how many hops you go through. It's the behavior that gives you away.

I'm always on my VPN, reconnect at random times, and have all the extras turned on. Something else that may be a factor is that I have Mullvad Browser installed via Flatpak and is sandboxed to hell. Maybe you installed via .deb or something in Mint?

Any way, thanks again for humoring me in this! I think you're right that at least you are sorta getting lumped in with others, but it's never going to be 100% foolproof and we should all plan for that.

Shhh, that's too advanced. Besides, CLI is outdated and slower than GUIs, this is just insane behavior /s

I honestly didn't even need to specify tab-completed. It's still less typing than their comment unless your paths are miles long.

hahaha... indeed what a silly name!

That's a bummer though. It's only going to get more difficult to view anything on YT privately.

 

I love their music and lyrics, but I also hate how accurate they've always been.
