their useful idiots

looks like this service has one in you


even if you find a method… whats your exit strategy? its inevitable that you will be unable to use it in the near future without an account, just like facebook.


i love gluetun so very very much. easily my favorite containerized product


remember that 88 million people who can vote, dont.

many of those that did vote are under a veil of propaganda. theyre not all rabid maga racists. its been proven that one-on-one interaction with adversaries can often change their minds. its just a slow, painful process.


right, i agree the idea is revolting… but the old man at the dog park who only watches fox news isnt inherently evil. hes brainwashed. hes a fellow human who if shown the light would absolutely change his tune. to abandon those people is to abandon civilization.

sure thats not everyone, but its enough. we just need to show them the truth… that theyve been lied to and actually do have a choice.

treating every conservative voter as you would trump himself is absolutely painting in black and white.


if you disavow every company contributing to the republican party/trump you might as well sell all your belongs, and learn to live off grid. no internet access, no power, no retail.

we just dont live in a black and white world. its lovely shades of depressing grey gradients.


i enjoy not getting threatening letters from my ISP about downloading shit.


oh, i dont use them to host anything except DNS. OP asked about registrars.


i do. i use https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ as their promise is ‘by subpoena only’ on personal info.

its actually a smaller outfit run by a bunch of linux geeks… you pay for what you actually use. been my goto for more than 15 years


the link light is powered by the switch. it doesnt [necessarily] mean data transfer


were not talkin about the small number of creators. its all about the audience . though i see what youre sayin… chicken and egg kind of thing… its ok, google is making it hard on them


same issue with twitter. too much momentum, not enough enshitification yet


would seem to be rather subjective at the individual level. ie, how much is your dignity worth monetarily?

i would think most ‘private’ information is valuable only in aggregate




has no one heard the phrase beggars cant be choosers?

so many people demanding ‘free’ AND… like thats just something that should exist.


say it aint so, beehaw!

is it maybe a flaw in lemmy bleeding email addresses? they are on 0.18.4


i hate apps as well, but there is some efficiency gained in not having to manage the infrastructure required for ‘cards’. its not always about the data mining.

i have ‘utility’ device that is an old cell phone with no cellular access used for this kind of nonsense. i also use it for music (pseudo-ipod)



i picked up a machine just for this purpose. even though im just using outlook in browser, work and personal are air-gapped so to speak.
