Stop encouraging it.

So does their CEO.

Not according to the law, but he does have a personal army of trigger-happy thugs who can just march in and kidnap or shoot the people running elections, or steal the ballots, or kidnap, shoot or intimidate voters.

If you approach ICE with a nice pot of tea they may get a little suspicious. Or they may be too stupid for that.

They think they’ll be doing the treading. They are mistaken, but they won’t realize until it’s too late to save themselves.

I’m going to present the case in this book that the greatest threat to American democracy today arises from a militant authoritarianism that has become a cancer upon the nation.

From the beginning of his book published in 2004. This has been brewing for a long time.

Don’t forget to ask for more funding for Democrats so they can continue their fight, this time for reals, honest.

In other countries they call that dictatorship.

I’ve been using it for a while, and it feels almost indistinguishable from regular Firefox. Broken sites are not a common problem.

So he did go to Pedo Island then.

Windows 8 was awful. Windows 7 was better. But instead of using a nearly 20 year old version of Windows, we can use modern Linux.

I agree in principle. I know how to self-host, and I do self-host some things, but I can’t always afford the upfront investment (especially with today’s hardware costs) and I don’t always have time to keep up with the administration (because I’m a wage slave) so I end up renting some of it. I’m not the only one in this position.

I think there’s a place for rented tech services just as there’s a place for rented housing, but the problem in both cases is regulatory capture by landlords that mean we get stuck renting forever from exploiters. (And with tech there’s the surveillance too, so they’re the landlord that puts a secret camera in your bedroom.) So anyway, I’m trying to at least pick my tech landlords more carefully until I can afford a better solution, and as far as possible I try to make sure my stuff is encrypted before they see it.

I ended five subscriptions to US tech services over the weekend, and I’m working steadily down my list.

“Rattled” is a media understatement. This stuff is enough to induce PTSD in most people. And terror is the whole point of ICE.

Yes, it seems like it could be a deflection to take the attention off Israel and muddy the waters. Everything else was pointing to Mossad.

I dunno, but some encryption at least.

And every medal has a FIFA logo on it.

Or maybe the other times they’ve done it, it wasn’t on camera in the middle of a busy urban street.
