First - someone comes up with this. Next, privacy researchers and black/white/grey hat techies come up with methods to defeat it.
Better for surveillance tech research like this to be published out in the open than developed in some secret lab. I figure these researchers are doing more positive than negative by publishing their findings. It’s not like if they didn’t publish, someone else wouldn’t come up with this and possibly use it clandestinely.
Did we mention his supporters are unbelievably stupid?
They want someone to ‘drain the swamp’ of corruption: they choose the guy who worked a lot with the mob in New York, and showers dictators with praise, while breaking the Constitution’s emoluments clause and repeatedly committing open corruption.
They want someone to get to the bottom of the child abuse scandal surrounding Epstein: they choose his literal best friend who has been credibly accused of rape by multiple parties.
They want a Christian to lead the country to rebuild on the faith: they choose a three time adulterer who cheated on his current wife with a porn star and made payments to keep her quiet.
This is just the tip of the iceberg and it’s all public knowledge.
They are dumb as rocks.
Its a poem by Dayna Craig, known as The Narcissists Prayer.
Yeah keep moving the goalposts, I never claimed you said Starlink was better than all ISPs I simply clarified ‘better’. I’m white-knighting for the rural users now? No I’m pointing out how stupid it is to cheer for the regulators that are supposed to work for you instead shitting on you, because the corporations have lobbied them to and a very corporation-friendly government is in power.
Your response: cheer for the big corporate ISP (what do you think Starlink is exactly)? Gtfoh.
This is not entirely true, dams are feeding grounds for methane-producing microbes which cause climate harm. Aside from that, even small scale dams damage local ecosystems significantly - at the scale China is planning, their dam will be incredibly damaging.

They use GiveSendGo, which is the same thing. It’s founded as a Christian alternative payment platform and the CEO and CFO have gone on record numerous times to defend indefensible scum.
GiveSendGo used to use Square which actually does run CashApp (so your joke is not far from truth), but after pressure on Square they seem to have dropped GiveSendGo, whom now use Stripe. Stripe has not responded to queries regarding the Shiloh Hendrix case (awful lady who called the kid at a playground the n word and went on to raise nearly $800k), and continue to work with GiveSendGo.
As a totally unrelated aside, major early investors in Stripe are Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel.
The payment processor is Stripe, and while there is a boycott going on regarding this, so far Stripe’s reaction has been complete silence.
Stripe has major early investments from (and likely key stockholders) Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, by the way.
Starlink is only ‘better’ (in some cases, certainly isn’t better in all nor at all times as its speed is highly variable), because your US cable and ISP giants have lobbied for decades to remove any oversight the FCC may exert on them - up to and including banning local communities from building their own networks, and ensuring that they have more or less monopoly control in many rural markets.
The only way to fix this is with the hammer of the FCC regulation. The ‘free market’ cannot fix a monopoly.
So when you laugh at your rural citizenry getting shafted by FCC policy changes that will benefit nobody but the large ISPs & cable companies, because you’re in a city and have lots of optiond with the competition that high-density living affords, you’re shooting your own regulatory powers in the foot for the sake of spite.
This is all setting aside of course than a huge proportion of rural Americans are not MAGA.
So yeah that’s why it’s a crappy take.
Dumb take. When the Trump supporters can’t get good internet speeds from their local broadband infrastructure thanks to crap like this, they turn to Starlink, prop up fascist Elmo, and to boot they have it reinforced to them once again that the ‘government is useless, only the Free Market ©® can provide good quality services’.
Literal sternly worded letter.
That’s where we’re still at.
Or fridges.
But I suspect we’re over-thinking this comment. Its more dumb right wing attitude more than actual link to the ozone hole.
Environmentalists point out the massive damage done by expanding the beef industry - through deforestation, effluent pollution of water systems, methane release, etc. Conservatives: stupid greenies are blaming cows for their problems lol.
I think that they meant to write something like:
I don’t think adultary means “sex while unmarried” I think it means “sex outside of your marriage”. Big difference.
If you want one that has a calendar and supports inviting other people to events and accepting other people’s invitations - there’s really only Proton.
I tried mailbox.org, they use OX App Suite (Open-Xchange) on the backend which is full of holes with regards to calendar invites/reception support. I also tried Tuta which does not even bother to attempt trying to support accepting invites from other services (iCloud / exchange online / gmail).
I have a piezoelectric doorbell.
The bell part plugs directly into a wall socket. The button part is completely wireless and batteryless and is affixed near my front door.
Been working like clockwork for a decade to let me know when someone is at the door and I’m home.
If I’m not home, the postman or delivery driver leaves a note to go to the collection center for my package. If it’s a small package not requiring signature, they just leave it at the door or in the mailbox if it fits. None of that changes with a camera.
Why overcomplicate life.
Counterpoint: this is just some random blogger and you don’t need to follow any of their advice.
I like it. Lots of buzzwords that warn me off the article.
Like a brightly coloured bug - message received little guy, I will not touch you.
I’m willing to bet it’s option B. Bet someone in management decided it would be best to cheap the fuck out now and then beg forgiveness later, and sell it as increasing security, than ask permission from the beginning.
No, measles is cross-species - many apes and monkeys are susceptible to it. Scientists believe it originally mutated from the rinderpest virus which is originally carried by ruminants (cows, ox, buffalo, many others) around 6th century BCE.
There’s no way that wasn’t scripted, which makes it so much worse.
Unless you wanna run headless and do everything via SSH then desktop is better, its essentially identical to server, but with a GUI and some apps bundled by default - both of which new users and infrequent server admins generally need.
