Kind: Notes

I was at a discussion about anarchism yesterday. A few questions about the need for leaders. One was "what about if there was a serial killer.. surely you’d need a leader to take control, surely?" Fair question about how does macro organisation occur, but the repetition several times of ‘surely’ was really interesting. Like capitalist realism, but for hierarchy. Seemed ingrained that a need for hierarchy is self-evident, that there is no alternative. Spanish Civil War was the end of history.
So far Pride and Prejudice is full of posh nobs chatting on about women’s appearance and comparing men based on their earnings.

Is it all an elaborate satire? Or is it just shit? Fingers crossed the former.

Anyway one great thing about installing Lineage – my Android security patch level has gone from February 2017 to September 2018.

I figured it as around 100 critical security flaws I was potentially vulnerable to, thanks to Samsung stopping support for a barely 4 year old device.

Not sure I get the permissions in Nougat… a bunch of the apps I installed need network access, but when installing it listed no special permissions needed. Is network access not considered a special permission anymore, it’s just a given? So far Ultrasonic has been the only one to prompt for any extra permissions, and it was for read/write the SD card.
Next app: indigenous for android to do me #indieweb posting. Probably won’t post that much from the tablet, but good to have it available. Its not on fdroid but swentel publishes the apks on github.
