the crisis is here, whatever the political class does. there’s no escaping it now.

someone tell her to dump this prick and come hang out with us

hah, I was listening to her shit on techbro ceos when I ran across this post. her brain breaking every time someone says AI is gold.

under most cases, they only have this data via DNS. it’s encrypted once the actual https request is made - only the destination ip address is available at that point. so encrypting DNS and securing that is probably more important than the protection a VPN provides. if you use a VPN without some form of DNS encryption, you’re trading one ISP you don’t trust for a second you shouldn’t trust but inappropriately are. DNS anonymization is an extra step you can and should take to ensure you’re not trusting your DNS provider, either - it works by tunneling encrypted DNS requests through shared, public relays.

what you actually need a VPN for is to mask your ip address to the website you’re visiting and to mask the ip address you’re visiting from your ISP. these are important considerations but it’s useless if you don’t first protect DNS, ensure you can’t be tracked via cookies/be fingerprinted, and ensure you’re only connecting to websites over https.

VPNs are an important and useful tool but they’re not the first or best tool for digital hygiene. you have to tackle each layer, one at a time. start at the top and work down the hierarchy.

wait, it worked once? who’s the fucking rube who fell for that?

dear liberals,

apparently no one told you this, but actually you can just pack the courts. you don’t need to talk about it. you don’t need permission. just fucking do it.

sincerely, people who don’t love eating shit

you make good points

but they’re gonna do that with or without the lawsuit

I had someone on here awhile ago tell me saying people shouldn’t use Windows was victim blaming.

comparing software users to abuse victims is… a choice…

think it’s easier to just say it than to do the gymnastics to find the right analogy here. it’s hard to give advice without the real context.

por que no los dos? vote early, vote often, as they say.

it’s just an excuse to not have to exercise power. the only acceptable exercises of power are bombing brown kids and stomping the left.

it’s always projection.

it’s true, we’re all liberals here, except me, the one true leftist.

yes

lmao I think you just challenged supafuzz to a fight.

they’re saying a faction with the Ds wanted Biden out before the debate, there’s a power struggle between that faction and Biden’s, and that the faction that wanted him out has a better grip on reality. damning with faint praise isn’t endorsement.

if the courts decide it’s within the president’s constitutional authority (when don’t they?), they’re always immune from criminal prosecution.

when they strip our citizenship, at least we held the moral high ground!

yeah, which is why our collective response was “lol. lmao, even.”
