Joining the comment train. As an american it proves impossible to not buy american, however I have started a long term boycott of anything that has significant Republican campaign contributions and I encourage others to do the same.

I guess I spontaneously turn into manure?

I think 3 is the most useful. You can use it to reach things just out of your height range and maybe as a party trick. I’m sure there are other uses for it too, given enough time I could probably think of some other uses too.

I second this app, I’m a big fan of the campaign finance reform score. If you want an easy way to fight the citizens united ruling, this is it.

Also want to give a shout out to https://www.opensecrets.org. their site isn’t as easy to use as goods, but the have a lot more data and if you can’t find info about a company or politician on goods you can usually still find it on open secrets.

Oh this saves me so much time and energy, thank you!

Yea I previously used bitwarden, my issue with it is that bitwarden is hosted in the US(which was the only reason I switched to PP), so I’m thinking about renting a vps and hosting vaultwarden in it or something.

God. Fucking. Dam. It.

I use too many of their services right now to get everything switched over to something else before trump takes power.

The swiss better fucking jail this guy if he hands over data to the us government without swiss court approval, per swiss law.

Now I have to find a new password manager, VPN, and email provider. Open to suggestions, but I want to find services that aren’t hosed in the us or by trump friendly countries/companies, and ideally use open source software and zero access encryption.

Hate speech has never really been truely illegal in the US because the right to free speech is so strong, we’ve been fortunate to have social media companies regulate toxic content online in the past, but now it seems that era is coming to an end.

I didn’t really use my Facebook account but I started the process to “delete it permanently” yesterday anyways, though I doubt it will do much except give me a good excuse to never use messenger or click on a Facebook link.

I genuinely don’t understand why anyone would go through the effort of switching email providers from one free spyware email provider to another free spyware email provider.

If you don’t mind waiting a while for whatever it is you’re buying, ali-express isn’t too bad. If you’re near a city and it’s not too specialized of a thing you need you can probably find it at a a brick and mortar store.

This man is a hero, everyone spewing hate at him needs to take a long hard look at their life.

I host my own technetium (recursive DNS) server and have my phone set to always be connected to my network through wireguard. I have nextdns as one of my upstreams along with mullvad and a few others in case those don’t work.

Couldn’t you use immich for this?

Get them PC components while you can, before they’re tariffed into oblivion.

Mace needs more chin and less head

You can’t see it but the genie also changed his name.

I’m just guessing here, but the left image looks both low red and out of focus while the right one in much higher red and much more in focus, so it could be that the little bit of hair on his brow just doesn’t show up well on the CCTV and that’s why it looks like he has more monobrow hair on the right. I’m not dismissing the possibility that he’s a different person completely, but if I go with an Occam’s razor though process, I’m inclined to lean in the direction of it being a visual thing with the camera+lighting+environment difference rather than being a completely different (but similar looking) person with a weapon like the one used in the shooting and a manefesto and the same style of face mask, ect.

Hold up a minute, you are putting words in my mouth. I’m not even making any claims in my comment about how many Stalin killed or that he acted alone. Only the historically accurate fact that he is responsible for a significant amount of death and suffering, and that statistically it is impossible that everyone persecuted by the (Stalin lead) soviet government was innocent. You can argue numbers and western perception all you want but it is a historical fact that Stalin had the blood of innocent people on his hands, as many world leaders throughout history have had (including most if not all us presidents). Even if your claims are true it still doesn’t invalidate my point.

It’s not a double standard though. Killing one person who was objectively profiting off of the lives and suffering of millions of people is very different than killing/imprisoning anyone who disagrees with you.
