There is no system of government in the world that has been able to stand up to individuals with billions and billions of dollars.

The billions and billions of dollars have all the power and no system can escape that power.

We need to stop the billionaires.

Things aren’t bad for him yet, and that’s the only way he knows if things are bad.

Exhorder once got kicked off a tour with Dead Horse in the 1990s because one of their band members took a shit in a styrofoam container and put it on the lunch buffet with all the other food. The first person who opened the container was not amused.

Investigators were alerted to his accounts after finding an unusually high number of log-ins and failed log-ins from an unfamiliar devices, locations, or networks. That information is tracked by Google, per the affidavit. Other unusual activity was traced through Payne’s VPN or network provider.

So, Google stopped him, and his VPN provider. I’d like to know who his VPN provider was.

Here’s what an auto-translation gave me: “If you are a squirrel, then I am a sinner.”

They’re openly rejecting court order and legal precedent.

Unless someone starts enforcing these court orders, they’re just going to keep doing things.

They’re running the Nazi playbook. Word for word, step by step, just updated with newer propaganda.

what did the turtle type while crawling across the keyboard?

maybe it was a secret turtle message

This is so good.

1990s TNG had a good heart.

Thank you!

Yeah? I’ll do this if I’m forced to use Outlook for work again.

Other than the paltry poverty-wages they pay employees, almost every dollar that locals spend in a big box store leaves town and travels straight into some billionaire pocket.

I’m interested in knowing this too as I’d like to migrate everything I do to a non-invasive platform.

That was a great feeling–taking something locked in, programmed, something that used intentionally deceptive description and design, and finding a way to make it your own. To, basically, break the deceptive design and make the device better by “breaking” it.

When I rooted my first Android phone I felt that way. It’s a shame how much of the computing power in phones is used for nothing but harvesting our data and profiting from our use of the computer.

There’s so much more we need to break now.

This is possible. Republicans are getting yelled at by their constituents. No one’s tried to kill them yet, but they probably think that’s coming soon.

I think it’s possible for twenty Republicans to get on board with this.

Also making giant rebar craps all over

ublock origin plugin for Firefox! It’s so good.

ublock origin w/Firefox has worked so incredibly well for me that I start getting incredibly irritated whenever I’m forced to watch an advertisement elsewhere.

I can’t imagine how many system problems I’ve prevented just buy using ublock origin. I also use Privacy Badger from the EFF to block trackers. Overall, I feel pretty secure using my daily driver for email and such.

I’d love to see a user-friendly, easily-implemented FOSS alternative to the entire Android system.

The options that exist now often can’t get past all the defenses that Android and phone manufacturers put into systems to secure their own data collection/revenue. I have an older Motorola phone that I literally can’t install another operating system on.

We desperately need a stable, user-friendly, and hardware-adaptive replacement for Android. I don’t want that shit on my phones any longer.

This is excellent news. Many of the people turning to open source and privacy-focused apps now are doing so because of the invasive and unsecured transmission of their personal data from standard Windows systems and from Android/iOS apps.

Strong, more secure, less invasive open-source apps are the way to go.

Shit, I remember degaussing monitors. I also remember picking up a power supply I was working on before lunch, not remembering that I had powered it on earlier to test it, and the shock throwing me against the wall.

Ah, the good old days.
