Thanks for mentioning that. Only lemmings.world? Do you have logins for others?

That's kinda why I asked, and you remind me of a good point. They can cow us into submission, but they can't be everywhere all the time. We are legion. I wonder how we get people to act as such.

At what point do we say that we're being ruled by martial law? Maybe not yet, but when?

I would love to see a poll that asks regardless of whether you think political violence is appropriate, whether you think political violence is the most likely outcome.

We jail execs in the US? Huh. Didn't know that.

I don't trust them not to monetize my data anymore. I quit using them.

[-] Quexotic@beehaw.org 5 points 3 days ago

I sincerely like your story.

And the cynic in the back of my head is saying "oh, just you wait! You'll love what's next!" while another finger curls on the monkey's paw.

Had to use the archive address because frankly the site just will not load anymore. The page says: "The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people."

I mean, you're not wrong but they don't need to. They have their goons to get people fired. Already have a coworker getting death threats. I'm a sole provider and am already contributing to positive change in other ways. Besides, I don't see me shitpoating my way to progressive government. Lol.

From what I've learned recently, those may not be safe options.

Best bet would be Mullvad, IMO.

This video summarizes it well though it is a bit of a shill. I've actually taken the time to validate the claims made here and haven't been able to refute them.

I've heard but can't yet verify that x and reddit are exempt. Still bluesky is still doing this. Enough to make me seriously question their motivations.

[-] Quexotic@beehaw.org 3 points 3 days ago

It was a good read. And sad.

You're right too, about freedom of speech. I've disabled my bluesky and LinkedIn accounts, deleting all content in the BS account.

I don't trust anymore. Maybe I need to live somewhere else.

I don't see how this could be seen as anything but a violation of privacy and an attempt to chill free speech.

I had no idea there was a federal law regarding this!

The pursuit of money is the root of all evil.

This is a talk that was in the voting village at defcon in 2025. It details how voting machine software was stolen by Republicans and also some other compelling evidence. I was in the room for this. It still has me a bit shook

An interesting development, but I doubt it'll be a good thing, especially at first. This looks like the kind of thing that will be an entirely new threat vector and a huge liability, even when used in the most secure way possible, but especially when used in a haphazard way that we'll certainly see from some of the early adoptors.

Just because you can do a thing, does not mean that you should.

I almost feel like this should have an NSFW tag because this will almost certainly not be safe for work.

Edit: looks like the article preview is failing to load... I'll try to fix it. ... Nope. Couldn't fix.

I feel like this is probably pretty effective. I feel like it should be a thing.

This transphobic, anti-gender theory, anti-abortion doctrine of theirs has me completely done with them.

I'm not a rageaholic, but you wouldn't know it when I heard this story come on my news feed. Profanities that came out of me were full-throated, long-winded, and unbecoming.

I was raised Catholic and for a long time since they decided to bless same-sex marriages I was okay with the Catholic Church but what do you know? Just like that. Now I'm anti-Catholic.

They're basically saying that everyone is made perfect in God's image and that by changing your sex your violating that perfection and somehow violating your own dignity? Like, they're trying to say that changing your gender is separating yourself from your soul somehow? I'm done with these people.

Here is a link to the actual document that they produced. Would you believe it took him 5 years to come up with this garbage?

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this.

So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I'm not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

Title says it all. Somewhat interesting if true. I wouldn't be surprised either way.
