This article isnt sayjng “renewables are bad”. Its saying “EPR is good”. We need those frameworks in place preferably before we get more panels ending up in landfills, because that’s simply wasteful.

These maps never include Alaska or Hawaii despite the myriad risks in those places.

I actually find the fact that becoming a more militarized wartime state has induced similar instances of violence in Russia to be really interesting. Up until this point, most other countries assumed there was something unique about US culture that resulted in school shootings, but showing some sort of hypothetical link between wartime mobilization and mass violence is interesting and the US interventionism has only been increasing along with their mass shootings.

I’ll just remove the post. Everyone has to wade through slop now adays and everyone is gonna fall for it at some point.

Nothing is going to solve all our problems, but triage is important and if you can get your weird cousin to vaccinate their kids, you’ve done measurable good for society.

I just pulled the title from the headline, but I’ve made the change because you’re right. It shouldn’t be normalized.

Fellas, is it gay to speak Gaulish?

The US wasn’t conducting a genocidal war in Afghanistan. The Russian government is explicitly attempting to erase Ukraine as an entity and anyone who calls themselves Ukrainian with it.

I was going to say the same. Funny it gets written off today as a hoax when tons of people had to fix slews of bugs. It could’ve been bad, but fortunately the worst I heard about was some people getting stuck in some elevators.

Thats obviously from mastodon, not twitter.

The point of an armorer on set is that they ensure that the guns aren’t dangerous. The typical rules about “don’t aim at something you don’t want to destroy” doesn’t apply in a movie because otherwise all the action sequences would look dumb with people firing wildly at the ground. How stupid would it look if John Wick shoots at the floor and blood spurts out of the guys face.

That said, anyone who hires a scab armorer gets what they pay for and deserve to be prosecuted.

Where are you getting free VM hosting?

The comment was in reference to VPN services. Sadly, given theres no right to privacy, you must pay to not be tracked.

i feel like most of your argument is rendered moot with encrypted dns solutions like DoH.

You misunderstand. Large ISPs run their own DNS servers which are preconfigured into the devices they sell. They are the intended recipient and you’d just be encrypting it in transit to their servers.

Another reason to use a VPN is that ISPs have every motive to sell your browsing data and they do. Unlike many other groups tracking you, your ISP inherently has your meatspace name, address, and payment information making their data easily collatable and very valuable.

If you use the default DNS on their provided router they can even tell if someone purchased an XBox, Playstation, or any other smart device just from update and telemetry lookups.

As the article says, by using a VPN youre using someone else’s ISP making that info worthless.

If your threat model includes preventing ad networks from gathering data, a VPN absolutely is a tool to prevent that. Do you have to pay for a service? Probably not if you’re technical enough; a VM in a data center is probably sufficient.

Mozilla is a non profit. The most “capitalist” they get is the Mozilla Corp a company owned by the foundation which is basically just for tax purposes. Having a big player in the fediverse helps.
