They do, and it will only be “official” when a Republican does it. Once they control the courts, it’s game over. Nothing short of unstacking the court will avert a fascist dictatorship.

That’s why vscodium exists brah
Outlook is garbage. Everything Microsoft does is garbage and consumer hostile, except for visual studio code. Anyone who’s used Google business apps knows this. Teams is such an unproductive joke I refuse to work for any company that uses it. It’s evidence a company is cheap and values cost cutting more than efficiency.
I had a family 365 account to backup my parent’s shit. Even though their PC’s were logged into their fucking Microsoft accounts, and backed up to OneDrive, Outlook displayed ads and couldn’t be linked to their subscription without changing their account emails. Ads were also re-inserted into their OS, even though I already ran multiple scripts to disable them all previously. Complete joke. Cancelled that shit.
Your daily reminder that we all live in capitalist oligarchies masquerading as democracies.
Reolink and one other I can’t remember seem to be the most consistently recommended hardware (actual security companies rather than cheap Chinese hardware rebranded by hundreds of drop shipping start ups). They only need internet access for the initial activation, and can be connected to home assistant or ftp server. I created an account with an alias email, then blocked its internet access from the router. It works fine on LAN and via tailscale.

NOTE: these wifi cams are not a “security” system. They’re for basic monitoring and scaring your cat.
The key point of Chevron was that laws like these are policy decisions, and those policy decisions should be made by the political branches responsive to the voters, Congress and the president, not by unaccountable judges with no constituents. … (in 1984) The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Chevron, allowing the Ronald Reagan admins industry-friendly EPA to stick with a lax interpretation of the Clean Air Act.
So the 1984 ruling, and now the overturn, are efforts by a corrupt conservative-stacked court to benefit the conservative political and ideological agenda. I always believed that Americans would never do anything about an illegitimate court dismantling democracy and the rule of law, but it’s still just as comically dystopian to watch it happen in real time.
Custom domains mean that if the alias provider enshittifies, you can switch to any other provider near-instantly. As long as you never use the domains to host illegal or dodgy shit it’s extremely unlikely you’ll ever lose them — far less likely than losing a gmail or whatever.
With SL you can avoid spam by using the “beta” (been beta for 3+ years lol) “auto create” option instead of a catch-all, meaning that you can direct emails to different inboxes (or do nothing) based on specific regex strings you control — up to 100 of them. I had a catch-all regex (.*
) as my # 100 and it took 2 years to receive catch-all fishing spam. Then I removed it and now have only random strings (e.g. .*fgyu.*
) so new emails must have them if they want to get somewhere. Everything else bounces. All previous emails continue to work until you disable them individually.
I use a mix:
Any evidence Wikileaks withheld info about the right? They release info that’s leaked to them. If Russia used Wikileaks to further their own agenda, that’s not a Wikileaks problem (as long as the information is accurate).
Notice how you’re angry at the people who released the info instead of the people who were corrupt and deplorable? PsyOps mission accomplished!
My understanding is that, while it’s likely the source of those leaks was Russia, it’s never been proven wikileaks withheld info about Republicans. I’ve seen the claims dozens of times, but never the evidence, so please share if you do… Otherwise, it’s insane to hate a journalist for withholding information they don’t have, just because it hurts your preferred political party.
EDIT T+2hrs: 35% downvotes and zero replies or supporting evidence. FYI I asked the same thing on Reddit about a dozen times over the last decade, and the result was always the same — If your position is “I can find no evidence for my claims, and don’t know why I hate WikiLeaks or Assange. I just do.” then you’re probably a psychological warfare victim…
Isn’t it great that a man who exposed governmental corruption and war crimes faced a harsher persecution and punishment than the corrupt governments and war criminals themselves?

The party of Christian Feudalist law and order.
Rich kids turn out to be assholes!?!
There are tens of thousands of corporate senior managers who would do this for millions. Capitalism rewards psychopathy and sociopathy with wealth; legality is irrelevant, as long as it’s most profitable.
or their “super privacy friendly” services aren’t as privacy friendly as they claim.
I would bet real currency it’s this one.
Alternative Headline: “The US spent at least 400 billion to maintain its fossil fuel car and energy industries this century.”
If the western political classes hadn’t corruptly subsidized the fossil fuel oligarchy with trillions of dollars since WW2, the west would be leading the world in clean energy tech. Instead, exactly as expected, the same politicians and oligarchs who made fossil fueled warming an existential threat to life on Earth are continuing to hamstring the clean energy transition and deflect blame, by screaming “China bad”.
The corporate oligarchy would prefer to sow the seeds of fascism, nationalism, and xenophobia than allow legitimate democracy, make fewer profits, or give workers a fair share. They proved that when they outsourced as much as possible to China, and other authoritarian states.
I have zero doubt that many core proponents of anti-privacy laws are pedophiles — that’s why they always add measures to ensure it’s illegal to invade their own privacy.
Work program = surveillance statism?
100% this. It would also prevent them from changing prices based on predictive analytics of the individual customer standing in front of the label — they will do this sooner or later, I guarantee it.
If it’s a “smart TV”, it already scans the content you watch and phones home about it.
