According to polling the last couple weeks, this is probably accurate.

So they’re the Reavers of the insect world.

Proton had a recent subpeona they had to honor. All the data they had was yes, the dude has an email here. But no content. Granted, if you’re exchanging with a gmail account, it’s moot, for those exchanges anyway.

This is really simple. Use Signal or WIRE. Proton or maybe Tutanota for email.

Avoid garbage like Telegram and FB Messenger. Discord as well.

I still don’t understand who is participating in these polls.

2020 I did participate in one re Biden and Trump, but here’s the thing. I was doing a purge of the junk e-mail account, you know, the one you keep to divert shit to, then generally mass delete. Before doing a delete all, I did a quick scroll and saw something oddly academic, for this email, and actually clicked into it (who does that?!?!). It was what it looked like and I participated, x3.

That said, if that’s how they’re polling, it’s not good.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. S5E15. I Was Made to Love You. Warren, what a gem of a human being that character was.

Seriously though. We’ll never be obsolete for the same reason we will never have bodily autonomy: reproduction. Until science devises a way for men to reproduce themselves in a lab. And, yes, please, do that, Science. Roe never would’ve fallen had this already been a thing.

Signal or WIRE are the gold standards.

Facebook messenger records every word. Did a data request way back. More than a little creepy. Every word I ever typed was there. And yet that is what most people choose to use. Hauling your people over to a good text app, like Signal, takes a lot of effort and may not work at all in some cases.

People are taking their resin crafting a bit far.

Just link off of the megathread if you have issues. As usual, subtitles are borked, but that’s it working as it usually does.

Working in corrections requires NDA signatures. You’re not going to get much.

Edit: referencing The States

The air quality is about to go 1980s again.

Probably an intentional lead-in to EPA dismantle via the courts after Chevron was overturned by SCOTUS.

The real question is, where can I get that T-shirt?

And yet, someone posted a management company letter over in r/Wisconsin where they said they were raising rents now to offset the 5% rent increase cap proposed by Harris Walz.

Even the thought of not even fixing it but easing the burden of it is triggering the overlords.

There’s a dive in over on r/Keep_Track that outlines Georgia. Wouldn’t count on a win there even if Kamala wins. They’re basically set up to not certify if Kamala wins. Some shenanigans in the SW as well.

Essentially, per Heather Cox Richardson, historian, if they fail to certify to the point of not reaching the magic 270, it can get kicked back to the states for a 1 vote per state via governors, which will swing Trump.

Don’t do the Roe thing. Don’t not believe because it’s unprecedented (it did happen once before in our history though) or simply because you don’t like the idea. I’m gonna pretend this isn’t happening even though it’s happening isn’t going to make things stop happening.

Mike Johnson led the surge to not certify back in 2020. He’s the speaker of the house now for a reason. The speaker is the lodestone on certification of the 2024 election, both new representatives and the president. He decides if they get certified or not.

Sure litigation can follow but in the meantime Trump is President. And then SCOTUS can seal the deal in their own corrupt way. Plus you know that guy is only leaving in a casket (of natural causes) if he ever gets in the White House again.

Feels paranoid just to type this but the news stories readily available out there do point to this.

Trump is damn quiet for Trump. Why? And why does the phrase “bloodless coup” keep coming up in far right circles?

People are already annoyed at base that they need any 2FA at all and don’t want to deal with more info. They just tune out.

I’m not in IT but I followed the Michael Bazzell podcast until he disappeared. Guy was a bit paranoid but there was great info there. My understanding was browser saving passwords isn’t secure, that those passwords are open to scraping from bad players. Ofc I can’t reference this because the entire body of over 300 podcasts disappeared with him.

Agree on Bitwarden and such.

Party of the working class. Sure. People want to get ahead and then vote for this shit because they can’t wrap their brains around trans. Smh.

Idk, Portland holds claim to that ownership, wouldn’t trying to claim it align them a little too much with that city and all it’s hopelessly liberal vibes?

They may be stuck with creepy weird instead of cool weird.

My elderly parent had this happen. Hobby is photography. Still used CS5. Boom, gone. Adobe wanted to sell a subscription plan when they called to figure out what happened, which just made them mad.

But now they’re sad and not engaging their hobby because they no longer have CS5.

Too bad I can’t get adobe on abuse of the elderly for this shit.
