If Trudeau gave half a rats fuck about foreign interference in Canada X would already be banned.
I just read this in a newsletter and thought it worth quoting and sharing. "I suggest that instead you keep your focus on all that is good in your life, and what matters most to you. I came across this quote from Maya Angelou that is perfect for this moment in our history:

Saw a YouTube short asking Kamala voters if they would date a Trump voter, and all the women go:
Eh, no. This is a person who has literally voted to put me at risk.

it should be even more obvious now that there are clear use cases for private, censorship-resistant ways to transfer money.
it should also be obvious that "crypto industry" grifters who are backing trump don't give two shits about that & are cozying up to fascists for profit
like, i never wanna hear liberals say shit like "there is no legitimate use case for private money" in a country that is on the cusp of criminalizing all reproductive and gender affirming care
i also never wanna hear crypto industry lobbyists claim to care about privacy while backing authoritarians
A comment from a non-native Finnish speaker made me realise today that our word for a fire, "tulipalo", is a compound word made from "tuli" and "palo", which both also mean fire. It's a fire fire.

The graphical login prompt you see when your computer boots up is a sensitive UI: typically, when starting to work, without much thinking you'll type in your username and password, expecting it to log you in and provide you with your desktop session. However, what if someone just opened a website in a browser in full screen mode with contents that just *looks* like your login screen, …
I made an experiment. Went to YouTube front page, blocked all the AI/crypto scam ads that popped up and then refreshed the page. They stopped coming after 13 iterations during which I blocked 17 different ads.
I'd really love to know how much of the ad business is made up of scams, because it feels like it's a lot.
Emigration is not a good way of avoiding authoritarian regimes. Sometimes its necessary, especially if the regime is turning violent
But emigrating from one authoritarian state to another will usually leave you genuinely worse off and being a foreigner in even a progressive state is always going to be a very vulnerable position.
Most countries will also outright refuse to give you a work visa if you are too old or disabled.

"The thing that nobody tells you is that you can buy a real human skull online (shoutout to skullsunlimited.com). We did that, and then CT scanned it."
I must say, going into the business of selling real human skulls, and then deciding on skullsunlimited.com as a domain is a particular kind of person.
I want to meet this person (under the promise they wont do anything to my currently-in-use skull)
