how much censoring do they do? Lemmy and reddit are very censorship-happy.

there are almost no frontends left working. i had to chase them to see what worked. LibRedirect has no way to flag when some don’t, thus removing those?

not all wars are bad. wars meant to defend one’s own people, assets, and territory is noble. But, I am not sure exactly what you are getting at. Hopefully, you weren’t being prejudiced against Germans.

i’m a bit surprised that China hasn’t released one to sell to Americans.

? Even the USA often ignores their Constitution.

they make us fight and fight and fight until we are haggard and have no more fight in us. i hate them. Having others trying to control the group is natural. Accepting it without fighting back seems unnatural. Even wolf packs have been known to eliminate a mean-spirited leader.

One of my old dentists told that that I could not have my own paid-for x-rays and my do’s vet told me the same. So, I had to repay to get new ones and expose the body to my radiation. I avoid “experts” now. The feeling of being ripped off and disrespected makes me feel the need for another expert - A SHRINK!

so you have the ultra-cheap Mullvad service and it is fast enough for you? This is the same one where I can send in cash to Mullvad to pay - umm, the super-anonymous Mullvad VPN?

new lies are being told about Celts, too - that Celts were not an ethnic group at all, but a group of mixed people sharing a culture - same as is being said about Vikings. Celts lived in quite a few places - if that history is at all true and i think southern Germany was one area.

I must wonder if Trump saying that America needs biometrics for illegals is part of this. Using illegals is just an excuse to introduce the Brave New World’s tools.

Thiel is not far-right. These days, the labels Right or Left don’t always make sense, because there is kinda of a uniparty who pulls our strings on certain issues, gets us all worked up, but they just want control for the sake of control - no ideology or cause needs to be believed in for them - though they will fake it to get people to comply.

Texas recently did something similar and now I cannot access porn or blood&gore websites. I personally think most porn is horrible for the mind and for relationships, but if “authorities” truly cared about kids, they’d be farrrrr harsher on the pervy perps they do catch - those targeting kids, but also any rapist or perv, because so many will choose a minor if that is what is easiest or most accessible even if a minor is not their preference. In some areas, there are over 100 rape kits waiting to be tested, but no money to test them. In some areas, there is also a 15 year maximum time limit on rape, so DNA for a 16 year old rape kit means nothing - cannot be used as proof or as a hint even that Joe Schmuck might have a pattern of rape going back years.

Ardens, I agree with trying to create your own password system - at least for your most commonly used things. My concept is a bit like this (don’t wanna give it all away): I keep at least 3 different emails and they have their own browser (Brave, Goanna engine (Palemooon or Basilisk), and Firefox, for example - ones with different engines) and I also use those browsers’ profile options for certain categories. Then, just so that i remember what I am using, I try to color-coordinate the browser’s theme and email theme. Ex: gold is for money/financial stuff and I use protonmail with an odd email name used for nothing else and I use a passphrase in a language I speak a tiny bit of. I assume that most company wesites have a minimum of 3 letters and I can either use the first 3 letters or the last 3 letters as part of my passphrase. If for my financial stuff, I can either add or multiple the numbers…if letter E is 5 and E is one of the letters, for financial, I can multiple by whatever number i choose but I stay consistent…so let’s say it is 3. Letter E is 5, so 5 x 3 = 15. If another letter in the company name is C and that corresponds to 3, then 3 x 3 = 9. And then there is a 3rd letter L which corresponds to 12, so 12 x 3 + 36. So, somewhere within my passphrase, instead of the ECL that is the company website’s name, I use 15936. I also must use a combo of caps and lowercase letters, at least one symbol. usually over 14 total characters and no more than 18 - because some websites set these rules. I can inject the number sequence anywhere I choose - maybe after the 3rd letter of my passphrase just so that I recall that number 3 as being for financial stuff. Example if my passphrase (in a different language) is mykiTTycatisythecutestintheworld =/becomes myk15936iTTycatisthecutestintheworld. Also, for common words such as is or the, swap that word out of symbols - in this example, the word “is” will become %$…so, myk15936iTTycat%$thecutestintheworld

I get tripped up for work passwords, though, because some employers force you to update your PW every 90 days. I usually just add a character and keep the rest the same…but, I can still get a bit forgetful.
