Update she was 23 weeks not 28. I misremembered. Skip to the what happened section here https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/08/teens-jailing-shows-exactly-how-facebook-will-help-anti-abortion-states/

This is such a misleading headline. The girl was 28 weeks pregnant. No state had legal abortion at 28 weeks unless there was at threat to the mother’s life. They buried the fetus in their yard. This investigation began before roe vs Wade was invalidated.

But yeah, the headline as written plays really well with audiences with a certain narrative.

Fuck Facebook. Don’t use it. Delete your account.

Edit: I misremembered. She was 23 weeks not 28. My bad. Better take: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/08/teens-jailing-shows-exactly-how-facebook-will-help-anti-abortion-states/

KeepassDX on Android. KeePassXC on Linux. Sync my password file via Syncthing on my local network.

However dangerous a scooter is for the rider or people interacting with the rider, cars are orders of magnitude more dangerous on both accounts.

Governments really should require that software made for them be made open source and that they use open standards. :(

It may seem contradictory that all these ‘decentralised’ protocols are based on a very centralised structure such as the DNS, when one could use a DHT, like torrent is doing.

DNS is centralized?

Seems like we could require the manufacturers to do more on the disposal/recycling bit.

FOSS. Use and support.

Ukraine is in fact a sovereign nation and has been, as you say for 30 years.

Haha way to toe the partisan line. Russia has to invade to fight the nazi fascists. Got it.

Well, it’s pretty easy logic to follow, and if you were anything other than a partisan troll, arguing in bad faith, you could easily follow.

The Ukrainians are asking for help. We should help them. That it’s. That’s the logic.

Ok sure, you’re not wrong. The west has a lot of blood on it’s hands in regards to the Middle East and the whole world if you really want to take a tally. I mean the whole colonization of the Americas was genocide. The European empire building of the whole world was genocide on large scales.

You don’t have to support the west to understand that an invasion of another sovereign country is wrong. It was wrong when the US invaded Iraq. It’s wrong now when Russia invades Ukraine.

I support the west supporting Ukraine in this instance but I reserve the right to change my mind if conditions change or new information becomes available.

Yeah sure. The only ethical thing to do is to give Putin everything he wants so he doesn’t kill more Ukrainians. Got it.

Yep, unless you want to use something like Keepass and roll your own sync with something like syncthing, then I think Bitwarden is really good.

Yep, pothos and snake plants are pretty tough, low light plants. I might just water them once a month though and they can’t be in direct light.

Another one I like a lot is a peace lily. Pretty tough and resilient and they let you know when they’re thirsty by being droopy. No direct sun light for these either.

I think it boils down to your threat model and who you trust eh? I trust Mullvad way more than I trust Comcast. The problem with not trusting anyone, including companies like Mullvad is that you’ve soon backed yourself into this weird corner where you have to become a C developer so you can review the code of your Linux distro and building your own routers with pfsense. Oh, don’t forget to review that code too. And how can you trust that your computer firmware doesn’t have some built in back doors or tracking features enabled? Before long, you’re living in a cabin without electricity, sending people letters with pen and paper… which sounds kind of nice.

Oh, here is a better post about VPNs: You want Tor Browser … not a VPN.

Either ddg changed/fixed something or torrentfreak is spreading misinformation.

I think each country has to decide for themselves what they’re going to do about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Especially those countries who have been on the receiving end of US unilateralism as described in the article.

Despite all the past offenses of the US and the west, in this instance I think the west is acting as a force for good. Ukraine was invaded by Russia under false pretenses of “denazification” . The Ukrainians are asking for help to resist an invader. We should help them.

No, I’m fully remote and can’t really imagine having to waste time getting ready, driving into an office and wearing headphones to drown out the loud talkers of the shitty open floor plan office, so I can focus and get work done.

Ty.
