    and any that code their way out of it using publicly audited and verified technologies will get sued out of business, at best.

    Individuals who implement their own encryption will be targeted next, if they aren't already.

    It’s the realization to raise kids in an unbiased way and let them make their own choices that’s killing it

    Without access to indoctrinate children as much as they want, religions will die out

    With that in mind, watch how they focus more on children to try and survive. Disgusting social parasites

    Not the lies, theft, manipulation, and indoctrination of children?

    oh gotcha

    No, not exploitative of the recipients of the proselytizing any more than usual.

    The base point is to separate the cultist from their support network and put them in an unfamiliar environment where they only that the cult to rely on, building and entrenching their psychological dependence on the cult. That's the exploitation.

    Yup. They're really good at rationalizing nice sounding bullshit to justify what they were already doing.

    My condolences. It's such a stupid, dangerous, and exploitative practice.

    In my former religion, it was 2 years in a foreign country. I'm lucky many of my family members came back alive, given the places they were sent. They "laugh" about stories of being assaulted, robbed, houses broken into, extorted and threatened, but it's a joke now because it's all part of "gods plan"

    So disgusting.

    (Edit: It's also a way to make sure that they face stress and doubt away from any resources that might help them out of the abuse. Instead they're at all times with another cult member tasked with keeping them on the straight and narrow. It's more a 2 year indoctrination session where the member gets exposed to anti-religious views through aggressive proselytizing, but then is forced to work through that alternate view in a directed and monitored way so that they reach the "right" conclusion. When they get back, they're so much more incredibly difficult to have a conversation with, because they've entrenched all the bullshit)

    Linksys luckily still sells OpenWRT specific routers.

    sure, and then you have to make sure you get the correct radio accessories, as the built in pi wifi isn't going to do so hot acting as the hotspot for multiple video streaming devices.

    Radios which you also have to vet against the approved hardware list for OpenWRT, and having multiple channels is even more of an issue with the lack of USB ports (depending on model)

    In my experience it's because it's finicky as fuck and requires very specific (and often more expensive) router models, and even then it still crashes just as much as a proprietary os router.
