"“The People’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn is excellent, and literally changed my life.

Posteo is a great service that I’ve used for a few years, now. I’ve never had a single issue with them.

Like this even matters anymore. They’ve already demonstrated that Trump can do whatever the fuck he wants with no repercussions. The deck is stacked in his favor, and no matter what that report contains, no one is going to do shit about it. This is where we are, now.

This should work well for you:

Let this be glaring proof to anyone who would otherwise deny it: Our democracy is broken and no longer functions for the benefit of the People. This is why revolutions happen. This is why we cannot trust our own government any longer. I’m officially done. Electoral politics has proven to be a gigantic joke, and I’m not playing anymore.

“It’s worth noting that some private foundations operate on the VC model in supporting nonprofits, either by requiring Board seats or requesting that their funding be used towards very specific objectives not always in alignment with the organization’s values and mission. It’s also worth noting that some nonprofits actually operate on the models of surveillance and censorship. Therefore, whether an organization or company is VC-backed or a nonprofit should not be the sole factor in deciding whether or not it is trustworthy. Actions are important, with full transparency being one of the most critical factors, and being fully open source being another to attract valid criticisms and audits to ensure any product or protocol lives up to its privacy and security promise. SimpleX Chat prides itself on being both transparent and open, on top of also being fully decentralized. If you’re new to it and eager to know more, you can start with this overview.”

Signal’s leadership team includes former Google and Whatsapp executives. What’s your point?

The moment you protect criminal behavior, you become complicit in their crimes.

But isn’t advocating for the privacy of criminals the same as advocating for the crime, itself? Sure, let’s go after the politicians…but are you REALLY okay with letting child molesters, etc. hide their activities from law enforcement online? Like I said, there has to be a middle ground. We just need to find it.

This is a difficult topic for me. On the one hand, I believe everyone has a right to privacy and we need to fight for that right. On the other hand, I’m enough of an adult to understand that law enforcement needs to be able to effectively investigate criminal activity. There has to be a middle ground there, somewhere. I just don’t know where that is.

Trump doesn’t have anywhere near the power he thinks he has. This is all just bluster like 90% of everything else that comes out of his mouth.

I think this is a great idea. I appreciate you taking the initiative! :)

What are you talking about? He’s lived the cleanest life anyone has ever lived. Seriously folks, it’s so clean it’s probably the cleanest life in the history of the world…

I’ve been gaming on Linux Mint for the last…four years? I think? It’s been smooth sailing for most of that time. Steam/Proton changed everything and I would say that I’m able to play 95% of the games that I want to.

You’re all missing the main point here: If you live a clean life, stay true to your faith, commit 34 felonies and be a sexual predator, you too could grow up to be the next president of the USA!!

Wouldn’t it be interesting if we started an investigation into how many right-wing extremists are currently holding positions in the White House? We already know at least one person opened a door for the Jan. 6th terrorists. I’m willing to bet that the rot goes a lot deeper than that…

You still call them ‘cover letters’? I’ve been calling them ‘corporate fellatio’ for years…

Pretty sure that’d be AOC…

Tell me what rule I broke by linking to a legitimate VPN service?
