Encryption Is Getting Squeezed From All Sides https://www.wired.com/story/kernel-panic-encryption-is-getting-squeezed-from-all-sides/

Any please, please - privileged Americans, Australians, Europeans, British people, stop flaunting the visa system while brown people are being thrown in detention for doing less. Holy shit.

You can’t just do your remote job in a foreign country without the right visa. Several South East Asian counties are booting out Americans and Europeans for visa violations like this. When I moved to Australia, which has no digital nomad, I had to fly to New Zealand to not violate my visa if I just wanted to give an hour long online talk for America.

Americans and other white people with strong passports are absolutely going to drive me to a bottle of whiskey with the perpetual, “my company shouldn’t complain when I work with no proper visa or authorisation from a foreign county, without asking” comments, and I’m a huge remote work advocate.

Hey friends, I'd like your thoughts on this on this, our friendly platform. Especially Australia IT pals.

I took a huge demotion (years of work) to be able to move to Australia. Happy with my decision, love my work, love it here, going for citizenship, no issues on my side. Life is worth more than money.

It's like, blatantly obvious though. I pulled most of my bios off the internet except basic LinkedIn.

Do I reduce my presence so that isn't as visible academically or professionally? Or is it something I can explain contextually in the Australian community in the hell market at my level?

Montreal eh!

@fullywoolly @hacks4pancakes “you cannot work on this visa” means not even a little bit. If you have to do something for work, you have to leave the country to do it.
