If you can only send facebook messages, facebook can block anything with more than 5 random characters.

Congrats, you now blocked people from sharing urls, setting their delivery address on areas where code has numbers, or prevented people from communicating in a different languages or using slangs since it's impossible to keep track of all of that. Also are you blocking images too? Otherwise you can put text in the image in several different ways.

VPS - virtual private server? The server is behind a router. Of course it can be firewalled. It's also on a host server so all your files can be read without you noticing.

I also mentioned my home server, but in case you didn't knew you can encrypt files on a VPS, sure there are attacks to access the contents when they're being decrypted by the VPS, but there are lots of ways to have the server send the content encrypted and only decrypt it locally.

Everything can be blocked by default and only AI monitored channels from official services can be accepted. Short messages can be hidden with crypto tricks but that is a very limited freedom for very few people.

How would AI know the difference between "hey check this video " and "hey check this video "? Or even "see you at the party tomorrow" and "see you at the party tomorrow" (i.e. the secret meeting will be tomorrow). Cryptography is so much more than just making your messages look like random characters, hell, using AI it's very possible to have it write a text that uses all of the random letters on a gpg encrypted message in a specific way that others can decrypt, but since hose are still random characters it's impossible to know there's a message there.

Single messages can be hidden in random conversations

That's all it takes, cryptographic communication is a list of single messages, if you can pass one without being detected you're done.

If network access is only allowed for bootlocked phones, how would you send those messages but by typing them by hand?

First of all that is impossible, TCP/IP is an open protocol, you can build your own small computer and connect it to a network. But let's for a moment assume this was possible, you can encrypt/decrypt messages with an offline machine and send them to the online one by any number of means, e.g. Build a QR code and scan it with your phone.

That's useful for activists but destroys any ability to organise a movement that needs to recruit followers.

A movement that needs to recruit followers won't encrypt their messages since they need people to be able to read them. They could use public key encryption to ensure that people could send messages to them and they can sign messages, but encrypting the messages is pointless. You only encrypt messages when you trust the other party, otherwise anyone could intercept and encryption is pointless.

How? I doubt you're able to propose a solution that can't be broken in 5 minutes, the only solution is to either accept it or block 100% of the internet, if you leave even a single write access allowed it can be used to communicate, and if it can be used to communicate, it can be used to send encrypted messages.

You do know that cryptography predates computers right? Anything that can send text can be used to send encrypted messages, don't believe me? Here you go:

There's no way you will be able to read the message above unless I give you the key for it. How would they stop me from sending that?

Also, are they going to firewall my VPS? What about my personal server? What if we use text files on my personal server, using ssh keys to connect to it? There's no way to block all cryptographed communication without blocking all communication.

Unless you turn that off manually, I should know, it's the first configuration I change on every new installation on a laptop.

Hey OP, I used to have that same weakness, but this tutorial actually allowed me to see the magic eyes things https://www.magiceye.com/faq-items/help-how-do-i-see-in-3d/ the two dots made it easier for me to know when I was focusing correctly.

As for my weakness, I can't whistle loudly, I've tried all the methods people use, but wasn't able to learn any of them.

You might have a physical limitation, I've met native people who can't roll their Rs, it's still fairly simple to understand as long as you're pronouncing them as Rs, or something close/distinct enough, e.g. English R (How an English speaker pronounces the R in for example Row)

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

On the off chance you're serious, that's not a C but a С which is essentially a Russian S. Also the Russian R is Р

So СССР is actually SSSR, and is short for Союз (Union) Советских (of Soviet) Социалистических (Socialist) Республик (Republics) or USSR in English.

No, it also wasn't communist so not sure what's your point.

[–] Nibodhika@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I think an important question is what is your current desktop? You might be able to upgrade a single piece and get better performance than that micro PC. Also note that micro PCs tend to run hot (which causes performance issues) and you can't replace or sell used parts easily.

Suri, but everyone uses toilet paper and that will never be recycled so it's still a good idea to recycle paper.
