Hey people of the fedi with insecure attachment patterns:
Have any of you found a good way (that works for you) to deal with the fear of falling in love with someone while knowing that a friendship with that person would be really good for you?

I'm willing to try anything that sounds like it could work for me.

@vfrmedia @gettie Point is that #Telco regulations stems from #Telegraphy and #Postal operations, and whilst there are legitimate reasons for #regulators to disconnect phone lines (otherwise #robocalling and #SMS-#Spam would be even more rampant than #eMail-#Spamming!)

  • Which OFC also intertwines with "#LawfulInterception" and the means of Governments to exercise control.
    • So anything claiming #security must inherently acknowledge the unfixable #insecurity of the #PSTN and completely cease using it and it's per-design compromised Infrastructure as a matter of principle.

That's why any "#secure communications" treats it as a hostile network and not to be trusted!

  • And that's not even scratching the surface that countries try to outlaw #anonymity - starting with #Prepaid - #SIM - Cards.
    • Because those traditionally had no reason for "#KYC" as there was no means for a customer to incur #debt or commit #fraud against the telco that provided said services, so there was [and IMHO still is] no "legitimate interest" in demanding any #ID for those, as any crime committed would be investigated with the existing #Govware inside the networks and thus found out.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Often have I marvelled how each one of us loves himself above all men, yet sets less store by his own opinion of himself than by that of everyone else.
 
[Πολλάκις ἐθαύμασα πῶς ἑαυτὸν μὲν ἕκαστος μᾶλλον πάντων φιλεῖ, τὴν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ περὶ αὑτοῦ ὑπόληψιν ἐν ἐλάττονι λόγῳ τίθεται ἢ τὴν τῶν ἄλλων.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 12, ch. 4 (12.4) (AD 161-180) [tr. Haines (Loeb) (1916)]

A quotation from Norman F. Dixon

The values communicated by status-insecure parents are such that their children learn to put personal success and the acquisition of power above all else. They are taught to judge people for their usefulness rather than their likableness. Their friends, and even future marriage partners, are selected and used in the service of personal advancement; love and affection take second place to knowing the right people. They are taught to eschew weaknesses and passivity, to respect authority, and to despise those who have not made the socio-economic grade. Success is equated with social esteem and material advantage, rather than with more spiritual values.

Norman F. Dixon (1922-2013) British cognitive psychologist, author, military engineer
On the Psychology of Military Incompetence, Part 2, ch. 22 “Authoritarianism” (1976)

..."#AlJazeera captured the underlying posture in a 2014 email referenced in the files. The reporting does not frame this as a theoretical debate. It presents an #operational sequence: #insecurity creates #political demand; demand legitimizes #foreign “#solutions”; “solutions” generate access, which is then #leveraged into broader deals.

#DropSite reported that in May 2015, Barak and his business partner, Gary Fegel, made a $15 million investment in FST #Biometrics, a #facialrecognition / #accesscontrol firm founded by Aharon Ze’evi Farkash, a former head of [#IOF] #military #intelligence.

The #technology’s lineage matters to how it was marketed. Drop Site reported that Farkash developed the concept of “#remote #identification” during the Second #Palestinian #Intifada at [IOF] checkpoints on the #Gaza border; in 2003, [IOF] deployed the “Basel” system at the #ErezCrossing, using facial scans to identify and process #Palestinians going to work....

In #Nigeria, the same reporting describes how Boko Haram’s attacks—often framed through a sectarian lens—created a ready-made narrative for pitching #biometriccontrol at a #Christian institution. Drop Site reported that a pilot was implemented at #BabcockUniversity, and by July 2015, an “in-motion #identification” system was live, with staff #training and #promotionallanguage emphasizing the #filtering of “unwanted persons.”

Al Jazeera’s account similarly notes that a #pressrelease at the time boasted the technology would “filter away all unwanted persons,” presenting #surveillance as safety while normalizing #populationcontrol logics in a #crisis setting..."
