If you're talking about the Taliban, I'd argue they are a full-blown military which just wasn't attached to an internationally recognized government for ~2 decades. They had professional soldiers and equipment which would way out-class even the most intense private militia in the US.

You comment is very confusing. I understand not supporting the gun restrictions introduced in the last 5 years, but why would you oppose the buyback program? If the government makes a citizen's property illegal to own, they should compensate the citizen.

All the data shows that law abiding gun owners aren’t much of the problem.

FTFY. Also, the issue (generally) isn't gun owners, it's their guns that get stolen, misused, etc.

Doubling down on this when we our sovereignty is threatented is just straight bonkers.

Irrelevant and nonsensical. Individual gun owners have no impact on preserving our sovereignty. Modern militaries are on a different level than "A well regulated Militia" or whatever other 2A BS this is.

Not sure if I wasn’t clear, but I said:

The only thing turning your phone off achieves it leaving it encrypted which (among other things) means bio-metrics won’t work.

By that I meant on boot your phone is encrypted, and bio-metrics can’t decrypt it, you need the password.

Just turn it off before going through Customs.

That's not some sort of magic spell to protect your data. If border agents are asking to see the contents of your phone, they won't be amused with, "it's turned off." The only thing turning your phone off achieves it leaving it encrypted which (among other things) means bio-metrics won't work. Border agents can physically compel a bio-metric unlock. While they can't force you to type your password, if you don't comply you'll almost certainly be banned from the country.

The only time I’ve been forced to turn on my phone/laptop was a layover in the UK.

And I've never been forced to show the contents of my devices on dozens and dozens of trips to the States. It doesn't mean they won't ask next time.

EDIT changed boarder to border.

The issue isn't your SIM, it's the contents of your phone. If you just swap SIMs, your phone still has all your data from when you were using your regular SIM.

There is nothing wrong with using FOSS without contributing. You can't have any expectations if you don't contribute, but it's not mooching, it's a fundamental component of Open Source licensing.

With that said, the government of the Netherlands is already doing a decent job of supporting FOSS.

Yes! The best thing about Pebbles (IMHO) is how they handle notifications. In the specs, they list Nordic nRF52840 BLE chip (BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy)

And with hardware supported by XP.

I was not intentionally commenting on someone's veganism, just the stereotype that a vegan or crossfitter will bring that into every conversation, whether it's related or not.

If you truly believe a comment is breaking the rules (e.g. off topic), then report it. Let the mods decide.

And the mods include ... oh look, you! Yes, I'm sure a report will be taken seriously...

But given the fact that you’re seeing my content, means it’s not being downvoted but upvoted, meaning people actually value my content.

Just because it's popular, doesn't mean it's following the rules. Just look south of the boarder.

Again, I have no problem with you focusing on your advocacy, it's just when you bring it to unrelated discussions.

I like your content, and I appreciate what you bring to your communities. What I don't appreciate is how you force your pet project into every discussion. If you weren't so involved and connected, I would report your comment for being off topic, but I know that's pointless.

Jeez, you, @Sunshine@lemmy.ca, etc. are worse than the stereotypes of vegans or crossfitters. I support election reform and would be very happy with proportional representation, but you guys are too much!
