I mostly use rechargeables but I recently grabbed some regular AAs and was surprised they died quicker than a rechargeable running out.

Gotta get those naps in!

Hey @proton.me, use these lemons for lemonade and consider offering fungible payment solutions.

The @404media.co story is very valid and important so your users to understand how they can maximize the potential of your services.

If this is the case, then the Democrats are on the side of Christian fascists and their plan to help Israel seize control of the Middle East so that they can make the Second Coming happen and summon God to rule the world. And if that is the case, you should treat Democrats as your enemies.

Cycles Of Ruin, by LDWG 11 track album

It's #bandcampfriday so I guess buy some music if that's your thing? I picked up a bunch of stuff including this new release industrialcomplexx.bandcamp.com/album/cycles... kinda hypnotic looping industrial beats with shifting textures, seems like my kind of vibe for chilling out to

Those are:
* Use a VPN
* Use another anon account as your recovery email
* If you pay, don't use your name & cc, use a cash-bought gift card or crypto or something

Every few years proton is forced to give some minimal info to the feds and everyone freaks out. Proton is not perfect, but it never has been. BUT it's a step above and beyond most other options. Just take the necessary precautions.

Beyond being morally repugnant, snitching is demonstrably not a winning strategy:

For the tabletop folks, designers and publishers, especially if you're not based in the US - do you have thoughts about attending Gen Con later in July/Aug, given the state of geopolitical affairs? Would you be attending, or would you be giving it a miss? Let me know! kheehoon@rascal.news

Part of security culture involves dodging data miners. Dodging data miners involves taking the long way around on things. "Convenience kills" isn't just our environment: it's also killing our privacy.

Dearest people who don’t read or remember history:

The reason Iran is ruled by Ayatollahs now is because the U.S. overthrew the democratically-elected Iranian President in 1953 to help American oil interests.

just fyi “soldiers are too poor and they have to kill brown people for the state. that are uwu smol beans.” is the same shit as “i was just following orders.”

it’s fucking nazi shit and people need to get that through their thick fucking skulls with a quickness

I’m so tired of every hack liberal commentator just saying that every new horrible thing Trump does is just a distraction from the Epstein files, as if this bloodthirsty Christian nationalist imperialist project hasn’t been going on looooong before Epstein was a known issue.

Governments, notably the USA but most others as well, operate very much like gangs and cartels, threatening to go murder their opposition, threatening retaliation if they are murdered etc.

And yet people act like it's completely unreasonable to question the global system of patron psychopaths.

I fucking hate this country. So sick of rich, bigoted sociopaths fucking everyone over.

hands off Iran, and death to US & Israeli empire & colonialism.

The Israeli and US attack on Iran is morally repugnant. It is calculated only to benefit an elite of racist, Islamophobic warmongers. It will not benefit Iranians or ordinary people anywhere on earth.

We must build the grassroots capacity to interrupt the war machine or things will only get darker.

Given the attack on human rights happening in Kansas, it’s a good time to remind people that “just move” is not an option for most people.

You need money, resources and health to be able to move.

The most oppressed & most marginalized rarely have those things.

We must resist.

i don't think transgender people are an example of oncoming transhumanism & techbro debauchery and anyone saying as much does not have our best interests in mind. changing ur sex is no more a perversion of the natural order than eyeglasses

transgenderism *is* transhumanism

eyeglasses *are* a perversion of the natural order

appeal to nature fallacies are dumb, stop letting "tech bros" negatively polarize you against genuinely good and cool things

This is regarding the state of IL v. Nicholas "neo not-see Nick" Fuentes and his charge of battery stemming from a violent incident that occurred on Nov. 10, 2024. I will put a link or two in the comments, but Fuentes turned himself in to the Berwyn, IL Police Department and was charged with battery after he pushed me down the stairs, breaking six of my ribs, stole my phone and stomped on it, breaking my phone as well. This Friday, Feb. 27, Fuentes and his attorney will either follow-through as agreed-upon months ago to show the judge that the conditions of his deferred prosecution as outlined by the IL State's Attorney's office have been met or they will delay for the 14th* time. If his attorney tries for another continuance, the deferred prosecution offer will be null and void, and he will go through with a trial. This seems to be the only way to get accountability and an end to this mockery of the criminal justice system and waste of taxpayer dollars. I have a suspicion that one reason Fuentes's counsel doesn't communicate with the State's Attorney's office on the case and let them know their plans until the 11th hour (if that) is to prevent me from getting the word out. Nah, you don't get to control me. If delaying again is their choice, that's their choice. If that is their choice, Fuentes is going to trial. In the meantime, I have a voice and I'm going to use it to point out the glaring injustices of our legal system. This guy gets to go gallivanting around, dancing to a song called "Heil H*tler" in Miami, espousing that women should all be in gulags until they get sorted out by dudes like him, saying that Black people, in general, should be in prison, urging people to destroy the Capitol on Jan. 6, etc. and refuses to take accountability for his battery of me. He also, somehow, has millions of followers. Well, let those millions of incels, bigots and Eva Brauns learn that there are consequences to abhorrent behavior, too. They need to know that.

If Fuentes and his lawyer are indeed holding off on confirming his court date -- agreed upon month after month -- in order to also keep me from getting the word out until it's too late to benefit, here are the details. I will update it when I know what is or is not happening with the case. In-person details - What: POS Fuentes apologizes to me Where: Maywood Courthouse | Circuit Court of Cook County, Courtroom 102, 1500 Maybrook Dr., Maywood, IL When: Friday, Feb. 27, U.S. Central Time, 9:00 AM. You are allowed to be a courtroom observer. No cameras, of course. If it happens, it will be also be live on Zoom - Friday, Feb. 27 U.S. Central Time, 9:00 AM Zoom ID: 989 6671 0237 Password: 118364 Thank you all for being there for me. It is incredibly frustrating and maddening but I intend to see it through. * I am guessing his attorney asks for extension after extension to drag things out and hope we drop the case. Why the continuances are always granted and why the defense in this case seemingly gets to make all the choices is beyond me.

Last yr, a judge in IL ordered Nick Fuentes to apologize to Marla Rose in court as part of a deferred prosecution agreement, but Fuentes has been granted 13 continuations. On Fri, Fuentes is set to apologize to Rose again. Fuentes was charged for assaulting Rose in Nov 2024.

I think that:
