Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Just buy a tesla and a smartphone. Those are the spy machines described in the book. The difference is that the 1984 government had to hide that stuff in your house and now, people even pay for them.
The 1984 government did not hide that stuff in your hozse. The telescreens are the centerpiece of any appartements. The difference is that in the book, everybody knows they are supervised and fear the supervisors, while today, nobody cares.
Honestly don't do anything you wouldn't want a fascism regime knowing about on any PC running Windows or MacOS or any smart phone.
On that note, what Linux distro are best for privacy?
Funnily enough, GrapheneOS Android.
All popular general purpose Linux Desktop distros suck in terms of privacy and security out of the box. It is possible to configure stuff like SELinux but that is very far above what even a competent Linux user is able to do properly.
Tails and QubesOS are amazing in terms of security and privacy, but their lack of general usability means very few people are going to use them day to day.
GrapheneOS has a mix of security, privacy and usability that makes it attractive choice for anyone somewhat competent with technology and caring for privacy.
Admittedly I'm not keeping up on this, so maybe outdated but it used to be Tails.
Kali took Tails' place a few years back, I think.
Kali was more for pen testing, hacking. Tails was a live disc that defaulted to tor and other privacy focused use.
True.
Depends on your opsec scope and use case. It also depends on the software you are running ontop like your browser or other services that probably have even more data on you.
