Tangential to your much larger lament - OpenStreetMap, and specifically OSMAnd which is libre and free on F-droid, works great for offline maps that are downloaded ahead of time. (I think the version on Google Play limits the number of regions you can download unless you make a small donation).

Organic Maps on F-Droid, is a literal godsend in offline raster maps. I used OSMand a lot on my old phone, buy since I downgraded it just could not load the vectors fast enough

Give mapy.cz in the play store a try. Seems to be much snappier than organic maps. Uses osm data

Not at all. Admiting it publicly has all kind of repercussions internationaly even if there are none locally.

They cannot be arrested in Croatia or anywhere else for breaking laws in Kosovo.

Most banks etc will cut business even if you cannot be arested.

This isn't a parody, right? I mean, surely no-one would (seriously) say this in public in real life? Right?

Andrew Tate said essentially the same. Turns out corrupt police don't like it when someone brags with that fact. Not that I'd shed any tear for Tate or the other guy though, both deserve all they get and more.

Your coffee shop could turn over MAC addresses if the police showed up with a warrant - especially all of the 3rd party managed solutions with logging.

MAC addresses are useless to track, you can change it, randomize it (I think even Microsoft windows has that feature built in too), or simply just throw away that wireless adapter used. It would be useful if for example these MAC addresses are tied to your identity, say when you buy a laptop/phone, you have to go in the process of adding these MAC addresses to be linked to you of some sort.

And imagine if somebody changes their mac address to yours and does some illegal stuff. There is not way that this can work.

So he as guns in his bedroom and 3 more guns in his safe along with a machete (all apparently legal). Not in Mollenbeek or northeastern Paris, but near Graz. Just your typical guy then. Running TOR exits are a noble thing to do but people like this damage TOR's reputation. And while there doesn't seem to be proof he intentionally got involved in CP, a smart pedophile probably would set up an exit node just for plausi…

Anyone actually viewing CP would likely have traces of it on their computer. Just running an exit node isn't going to save you.

Bribes don't work like a shop where you can come from the street and buy something. You need to have connections first.

Competent corrupt officials can do the math, and understand ongoing 1X bribes are far better than poisoning their money tree by stupidly accepting a one-time 10X bribe.

“There's probably no one so easily bribed, but he lacks even the fundamental honesty of honorable corruption. He doesn't stay bribed; not for any sum.”

Maybe open source generative AI can help solve cp. Cater to all these pedophile fetishes, and no need to exploit children? Remember how we phased out ivory for piano keys, and other poaching? With diamonds, there is still a push to source “the real thing” kept alive by De Beers, and other cartels like that. But for a lot of poaching, we found replacements. I think that’s how plastic got started too btw! Also PETA has…

Even written, where I live. In principle even the author only wrote it for themselves, and no one ever knows. That’s pretty close to thoughtcrime.

Your effective wi-fi MAC address — the one other devices see — isn't fixed in stone, and in fact modern OSes build in support for automatically + continuously randomizing it: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-use-rando...

When you actually connect to the wifi network the mac addresses stay consistent and stable on macOS / iOS at least over multiple sessions. If they didn't do that, then a bunch of stuff would probably break.
