Never travel to the united states
It's quite clear the only way we'll learn is the hard way. We'll see how much smug entitlement we can sustain when the world moves on without us.
Or if you do, fill your phone with 1000s of up close photos of assholes. See if they figure it out.
Fill your gallery entirely with nothing but AI upscaled 4k gifs of tubgirl
Is there an app to make this happen easily? Maybe a GrapheneOS feature??
Why would grapheneOS have an ai upscale feature? There isn't even an assistant by default
I think goatse is more appropriate.
At first I was going to comment that goatse was never a video, and therefore could not be made into an animated gif, but then I remembered img2vid exists. I could see some wild AI slop being pretty hilarious.
I’m a Pain Olympics fan myself
Realistically the next big security push on mobile devices, due to things like this, should be plausible deniability. In the same way that VeraCrypt lets you set up encryption where you can "unlock" encrypted content and it's a fallback to secure your privacy, phones should allow a backup account or something similar that has select group of apps, photos and messages, perhaps depending on the PIN you use to unlock your phone
Like 10+ years ago I had a "private photos" app that would open up two completely different photo vaults based on what pin you entered. I didn't even think it was a big deal at the time because it makes perfect sense to do. I'm amazed that hasn't become standard practice in the meantime.
I thought about doing something similar with my laptop, simply by naming my main account Guest, and using my name as the account they would check at customs.
And enjoy it when they assault you and lock you away for years. You have no rights in their country, don’t risk it.
The sad thing is I agree with you, but the sadder thing is I was born here, and still live here. But I’m going to be filling my phone with these anyway when I travel abroad and (presumably) return.
Not returning is pretty enticing though, if I didn’t have elderly parents to take care of.
I thought that strategy was just for the NSA but I guess it could also work for the TSA.
I live on the border. I've been many times. The day Trump was elected the second time I swore I would never cross the border again.
