If you’re ever forced to have a debate with him, I would love to know about a (actually, an honest) strategy:

Yeah I want him to have a third term too and be as effective as possible, but how will it work if the deep state gets Obama in for a third term and he sends all Republicans to Turkish prisons? Makes me wonder if we listen to the courts whether we can keep the DemonRats/DementedCraps from being their usual fascist selves 🤔

No opinion to offer on that

But

AI’s bad even when using it to build software for your nonverbal nearly-immobile brother 🧐

Edit: cuz you might be able to code it yourself before he dies

Thank you for engaging with a post that was broadly much easier to simply downvote than reckon with

This is an unusual comment I’m gonna make, unusual for me b/c I get phased by violent content and not dark humor

Comic made me a little uncomfortable maybe because it’s actually showing implied child abuse. If it’s just alluded to then it’s just your imagination and you don’t imagine it well enough way it’s painful, but they show it & it’s like “bro that guy’s a child rapist holy shit wtf”

Plus the lowest possible defense, 4chan-esque “akshually ephebophilia” “but in Japan…”, don’t even fly for Sherlock

Edit: also there’s no greater point as you’ve mentioned, like if he wore a Jared Subway mask… potential big change in vibe

Thanks so much for taking the time for this detailed reply. Hope to give a reply the time it deserves myself as well, from the right wavelength, sometime l8r gator :) (Will need my keyboard)

💩posting after a 5+ year-old memory came to mind. The face of the employee I’d been chatting with (before momentarily freeing my hand) was positively aghast. Olympic contender in no-coaster defense competitions, guarding the impervious exterior of large corporate marketing assets like it’s the Mona Lisa.

COMMUNITY/MODS: want this post gone, it’s gone - would remove ASAP.

Please be excellent to each other here. We have to self moderate or I’ll delete without being asked. Assume good intent.


I’m pro human which is why I’d rather have some people in office here in the US than others, and why I’m pro human rights.

Trans rights are human rights.

After reading criticism of the dems, this question resurfaced in my mind. I know we don’t have time machines, I know it’s easy to claim a false equivalency is being drawn. So note this question doesn’t represent reality. It represents a curiosity of a hypothetical.

Trans rights are human rights! Thank you.

PS: I hope neither this post nor its comments represent/produce any content that bad people will use to make arguments to further evil causes. Have I already erred? Yes I’m worried, I’m also curious enough to hit this post button here… gulp

alt text of featured screenshotImagine you have a time machine that lets you peek into the future, specifically the 2024 election. You can see two possible pathways:

Pathway 1: Democrats go all-in on trans rights.

They champion inclusive policies, fight for trans healthcare, and actively challenge anti-trans legislation. However, this galvanizes the opposition and they lose the election.

Pathway 2: Democrats stay completely silent on trans rights.

They avoid the issue entirely, focusing on other policy areas. This strategy helps them win the election, but trans rights are left in a vulnerable position.

The question is: which pathway would you choose?

Would you prioritize a Democrat win, even if it means sacrificing progress on trans rights? Or would you fight for trans rights, even if it means risking a loss?

 

Hey friends,

I'd like to:

  • Register for a social media account under a client's company name
  • Research the presence companies in the client's industry have on the site
  • Have a reasonable assurance the account will not be linked to my real name nor my network
  • Use a VM for 10-30? hr/mo, short term

I am:

  • US West Coast based
  • Tech savvy but don't code (unless copypasta)
  • Price conscious
  • Privacy conscious in terms of social media companies linking my account and my identity

Assumptions and UnderstandingsGiven the complexity of fingerprinting techniques, I am under the impression logging in to a remote computer and doing all this work from a browser there has one of the highest likelihoods of success. I'd measure success by not getting spammed with work-related ads, whenever I have to disable Ublock Origin at least. It seems likely a social network will know I'm using a remote desktop (based on IP and loading time/delays), but seems difficult for them to understand who exactly is using the cloud machine if I only use it for a singular purpose. I would hope data brokers aren't efficiently tying VM usage back to VM leasers.

I understand a VPS isn't typically suited for GUI usage, and VPNs can leave me more vulnerable to fingerprinting.

Finally, it looks like most of the low-end cloud PC options would support web browsing at a reasonable speed.


Questions:

  • Have I betrayed any misconceptions?
  • Is a cloud PC one of my best options, and if so:
  • Can you recommend a provider and specs?
  • Is there anything I'm missing?

Azure Virtual Desktop

Too cheap to be true? Requires some agreement...

Amazon WorkSpaces Personal

Yay Amazon. Inexpensive.

Windows 365 Business Cloud PC

Priciest option.

A little guy!


Thank you!

 
 

Developers (two dudes) are super responsive and would likely release an IP customization feature upon request. Is there any service that would tolerate this [D]DOS-y kind of behavior that would feel more privacy friendly than Cloudflare?

IsThereNet [for macOS] watches for internet connection status changes and draws a colored line at the top of the screen to indicate the status.


Edit: Thanks everybody!

(1) ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Requests hardly constitute a burden on a server.
(2) There is little privacy concern simply exposing your IP to Cloudflare.
(3) Uptime-Kuma can be self hosted to accomplish this task with more bells and whistles.
(4) There is an appetite for daydreaming of DDOSing bad Alphabetic actors ;) You civilly digidisobedient rascals!
