As a British person, I think living under Keir has made me even more apathetic to the US's faux-democracy. The attacks against trans people, disabled people and Palestine have arguably got worse, even if the authoritarian element has got some of the nastier neo-Nazis a bit disorganised.

Kinda sad they didn't go further with the human theme but I guess "don't theme ny apps" thing that Gnome has going on ruins that.

In a recent study it was found that around 2/5 of phones held by police had signs of tampering, including when they are supposed to get a warrant. If you want to know more Google, "40% police study " and it will probably show up on the first page.

People still do the same here, sadly :/

I would honestly vibe so much with a community dedicated to moaning about Rust.

DNS over HTTPS is your best bet because they can't Man In The Middle and replace it (DNS Poison) like good old DNS. They will still be able to see the IP addresses you are connecting to unless you proxy those connections. nativeproxy uses Chromium's stack so it is much harder to detect. There are UI frontends for it if you prefer but I've never used them. ProtonVPN also has a stealth protocol that I've heard is good, though I don't know too much about it.

Good on you for trying to get around it. That kind of curiosity is a great way to develop your lateral thinking skills. You didn't ask for a lecture and people giving you one should go back to stack overflow comments. If you want to take the risks of it, that is up to you and you are likely to fuck up. That being said, you aren't the only person likely go get in trouble if you fuck up and, unlike you, IT will depend on their job financially. If you do it well enough and make sure you don't get caught by someone seeing your screen or blagging around the school that you did it, that won't be an issue.

IT departments also read comments in threads like this to find the current trends of how students are trying to get around their web blockers so keep in mind that you will need to keep your skills up to date.

A comment I see nobody making is that this will negatively effect disabled gamers and prevent the use of accessibility tools.

Love Music Hate Racism has been going for years and it is a recruitment front for Stand Up to Racism, which itself is a front for the Socialist Worker Party, a group with an extreme history of abuse and movement sabotage and you can read about it at linktr.ee/fuckswp. These are fundraising activities for an already wealthy group that doesn't need the money since they get a good chunk of union dues and membership fees of older/less active members. Give your money to the mosque repair funds from the areas impacted or attend your local antifascist fundraiser; they tend to have decent sets and they help fund train tickets to bumblefuck nowhere and a surprising amount of equipment (mostly for unannounced background work)

It reminds me a lot of ourdialects.uk which does similar but for the UK and split across a few different maps. I'd love a website where it guesses where you (or someone else) are from based on some sort of quiz.

If you keep an eye on names and faces present at far right demonstrations, usually the same ones pop up all the time. I'm surprised this is the first instanceof the two. Unite the Right and Jan 6 were just the most famous in recent memory. A lot of Jan 6ers have also attacked Drag Queen Story Hours as just another example.

I remember almost a decade ago, the Oneplus 2 not having it was a major downside. I can't believe we are still doing this song and dance.

Lemmy is absolutely cluttered with Zionist spam from accounts that exclusively post about it too which I find fairly surprising with it being a smaller platform. I'm not denying that there aren't the odd few humans too among the liberals but its certainly got an element of people botting votes too.
