Just be on the lookout for Sinemas hiding among the progressives.

The encryption key is wiped and overwritten on a factory reset. Encrypted data can be recovered, but good luck decrypting that.

It would take a classified amount of capability to get through that, likely isn’t possible at all, and isn’t likely to be used against random dissidents.

They will get your IMEI, which doesn’t change. This can be used to see where you’ve connected to cell phone towers in the past.

For nearly everyone a factory reset of the phone is just as good as a burner phone, unless you need to hide your IMEI history.

Both a factory reset phone and a burner phone are vulnerable if you use them to sign into existing accounts.

It’s also just stability and cooperation. Every other president came in with the idea that we were all working towards the same goal with different ideas on how to get there. They’ve taken the country in good faith from their predecessor and generally carried forth close to their vision on the things they were working on. No matter which side you’re on, the things that get attention are usually done in an intelligent way that makes sense. It’s generally better to shift the agenda by focusing on new things than to focus on the things that were fixed literally last year.

This president has the exact opposite behavior. He’s aggressively destroying anything Biden or Obama have built, down to straight up trashing assets of the USPS (including mail sorters).

Lemmy is also being manipulated, but here it’s primarily through users. It’s a problem you’ll have on any social media, particularly if fully anonymous.

Well, yeah. We weren’t exactly quiet about it.
