I guess I should have written “If you want to never have to use a cli” instead of “If you don’t ever want to use a cli”, as I didn’t mean you have to want to use a cli to use linux. I meant that one has to be OK with using a cli, accepting of the fact that they have to use a cli.

An at least superficial understanding of the cli is an essential part of using linux. If you don’t ever want to use a cli, what are you doing pursuing linux? Do you just want a free version of windows? Go pirate windows.

Some Canadian outfit should try selling “11th Province” or “4th Territory” merch to us Oregonians and Washingtonians. We’d buy it.

Both sides have resorted impressment to refill their ranks, regardless of public pushback men can still get bagged into a van on the street and sent to the front lines.

He was quickly ousted from his position as a popular and respected Minnesota senator during early #metoo, for accusations that you’d never imagine a Republican resigning over, allegations in fact that have failed to take out other more core-party Democrats (Andrew Cuomo comes to mind, he still has a millionaire warchest and is running for NYC mayor this year with full support of the DNC).

Death By Hanging (1968)

They did this to the anarchist assassins (And accused assassins) in the 1930s, too. Started summarily deporting people en masse for their beliefs or presumed beliefs, and executing people after brief appearances in kangaroo courts. Honestly if Germany hadn’t gone Nazi and basically dragged the us into a war with them, we would have done it instead.

Why don’t you access your home computer over VPN from Mexico, manage your transfers on that machine per usual, and just pull whatever you need in Mexico directly from your home machine via your VPN? That way you can continue to torrent and seed without burdening someone else’s connection.

I was also in the Tech Industry during the tech crash of 99

I was living in Britain back when Brexit happened

Your life reads like the lyrics of Sympathy for the Devil.

The IDF is bombing schools and hospitals because they’re carrying out a genocide.

Resistance fighters aren’t hiding behind hostages, that’s unchecked libel. In fact Israel has demonstrated repeatedly that it is willing to kill it’s own people to kill resistance fighters.

De-arrests are a thing, they do and have worked against ICE kidnap attempts. But you need a critical mass of people to do it, if you go alone they’ll just arrest you too or worse, shoot you.

I don’t trust proton but I that’s not relevant here. I’d like more info related to that linked comment to help substantiate or contextualize it, if you have any.

“Time to find a CEO who has yet to publicly express their fascist sympathies…”

Wait til they hear that Tor was developed and is largely run by the US military.

This is a decontextualized post from 2015 that theorizes a DDoS attack on Proton at the time was coercion to “help” them by offering to proxy their traffic through Bynet in Israel for the purpose of tampering. Is there any other info out there to support this theory? It’s intriguing and believable but also complete hearsay absent any other corroboration, context, further info, etc.

Capital controls the government. Unless white house policy actually changes, this is a load of hopium.

WTF is Reddit?

Seriously though get off that site, it’s not good for you.

The browser project dedicated to open web standards steered by a compromised non-profit or the browser project dedicated to destroying the traditional web browsing experience steered by the largest advertising company on Earth … Let me think …

“Genius kid”? I really dislike the unnecessary and unqualified exoticization. He’s a smart kid, with access to time and resources. The sort of time and resources that any kid - Any person, really - With an interest should have access to. We’d have a lot more “geniuses” in the world if that were the case.

Outside of one-in-a-billion shots like Mangione, we’re still at the discomfort level of unreliable whackadoos being the only ones to try violent direct action. Which means that instead of picking targets that would actually make an impact, they’re picking personally symbolic targets that they have easy, ready access to. And they’re not even hitting those targets with real success / possibly creating innocent collateral in the process.

We aren’t there yet.
