0·2 days agoTo add to this, whatever “website” the OP is on has no ideology. Different instances of Lemmy do moderate in different manners, so depending on the “website”/instance he visits, the content available and moderation may skew towards a specific ideology. For example, I don’t go to the news community on lemmy.ml anymore, because I got tired of the pro-Russia stance there.
So if the OP ran their own instance where race hate and misogyny were acceptable, that would fit their definition. But good luck getting anyone to federate with them.
The problem is that their definition of “left” lines up pretty well with people who are willing to cooperate with others that are different from themselves — which is the basis for any non-autocratic community.
My “social media account” is my LinkedIn account, which shows my record of employment and links to coworkers.
It’s all information a government could find elsewhere, and seems to generally meet the requirements.
0·4 days agoAh; that explains it — thanks!
Odd; I thought the 13,000 years had been blown past over 5 years ago, and the current estimate was 23,000 to 24,000 years ago?
This would seem to line up with the new number. Is this just someone new reporting on the established findings from 5 years ago, or are these new findings on new footprints that corroborate the other findings?
… just the most SouthEastern part of it :D
5·8 days agoThat’s the point. Windows 11 cannot be made to be a private OS. So you have to adjust your privacy model instead if you want to use it.
Censorship is when the government blocks otherwise free speech.
Often, guilt. Sometimes, distraction or the inability to prioritize.
And sometimes, not being honest with yourself that you find something else more enjoyable.
Depends on who does it and why.
The US government blocking access to .ca by US citizens? Yeah, that’s censorship.
Your ISP blocking access to .su domains? Nope.
A web server blocking access to .br domains? Again, no.
Er, your instructions don’t kill all the telemetry that makes Win11 so privacy invasive.
Unfortunately, your comments about security are spot-on — there have been a number of improvements in the latest Win11 releases that were never added to Win10.
So while Win10 can be tweaked to be a relatively private OS, you need to update to the latest Win11 for security, or switch to a non-Microsoft OS.
The only worrying experience I’ve ever had with skunks was when I was walking along a path and saw these two little faces pop out from some brush at the side of the trail— baby skunks. I backed away slowly, and took a different route. Last thing I wanted was their mother getting defensive because they were too forward with a human.
Just wait… they’ll die eventually.
If you want long-term, look to the liver. Alcohol will destroy it over time, but so will viral hepatitis. Have you considered slow acting diseases like hepatitis or HIV? Or something intensely carcinogenic?
Came here to say this; cremation is the cheapest that leaves your family with an object; leaving your body to science can be zero-cost (costs paid by the institution of choice).
Help them get to Canada?
If that’s not an option and they don’t already have claimant’s status, help them get somewhere off-grid.
If they’ve got claimant’s status already… the government is already keeping tabs on them and will likely hunt them down. Their best bet may be being sent to El Salvador where at least they won’t be tortured and killed (assuming that’s not where they’re from).
That gave me a very odd image of vend-a-leopard-eating-your-face.
Especially when they think your views are the problem.
I have one word:
Eggs.
I live in a city of over 100,000 people and my grocery store is 25 minutes away. About an hour if I walk.
I grew up in a small town and had two grocery stores within 8 minutes. Everything was a lot more expensive and there was less selection.
Moved because of the lack of services (no hospital, volunteer FD and ambulance, no high school, no college nearby, no taxi service, no bus service, everything shut down at 6 PM).
