Retired software engineer, architect, program manager, and director @ the world's greatest software company. Currently enjoying luthiery as a hobby, and considering part-time teaching positions to stay active and contribute back to a field that provided me a great living. I am interested in art, literature, music, and discussions about social justice. I also like a good joke.

This sht has got to stop.
The Trump administration is setting a new norm, that wearing masks while being an armed law enforcer is normal.
Criminals will take advantage of this. It is nothing new that hardcore criminals disguise as police, but what is new is, this disguise can now be worn while being masked, and it will not look out of the ordinary.
Criminals will be able to abduct anybody anywhere while wearing police gear, guns, AND masks, and no one will be able to know if they are real or fake.

Totally normal.
Dear Fedi friends, may I ask you a favor?
I would really appreciate it if you could boost this message. I have created a French version of my Fedi promo video - and a French landing page – that I hope can spread far and wide in the Francophone world:

Less than six months have passed :bongoCat: . I received XX messages from the UBUNTU community asking for Arizona night wallpaper, I remember and hope I can share it with you soon :badabing:
Es ist noch nicht einmal ein halbes Jahr vergangen :bongoCat: . Ich habe XX Nachrichten von der UBUNTU-Community erhalten, in denen ich um ein Hintergrundbild mit Arizona bei Nacht gebeten wurde. Ich erinnere mich! hoffe, dies bald mit Ihnen teilen zu können:badabing:
My last day of work at the World Trade Center was Sept 10, 2001. I worked late, so I was going to go in late the next day. I never made it in (the planes hit in the morning). I was at 5 WTC, a 9 story building between the towers, all my coworkers evacuated
What I remember most were the missing person posters, especially plastered all over Grand Central Terminal
Now we experience it again with #ICE under #Trump
Powered by the same stupid hate and fear that powered 9/11

As a kid my mom told me one of the rights we have in the USA is to travel freely throughout the country. She said in communist countries the government tracks all your movements.
Fast forward to the 2000s and TSA starts verifying that the name on your ID matches your plane ticket - what else they are doings, we don't know.
Fast forward to 2025, the TSA don't care about your ticket. They photograph EVERYONE getting on an airplane. They are watching you everywhere you go.
I think you are right about the targets being more hardened now. Organizations that know they are hactivist targets have invested in countermeasures. A successful attack would likely need to be more sophisticated.
@grendel84
I am sure that is part of it, too.
@grendel84
Over to last 15 years world governments (including the U.S.) quietly tracked down and eliminated many members if groups like Anonymous. They are a shell of what they once were. Some were co-opted or coersed into doing work for government. I think the most powerful hacking groups are now run by the fascists.
