“How will privacy and anonymity be attacked?” […] like so many other “computer hacker” items, as a tool for the “Four Horsemen”: drug-dealers, money-launderers, terrorists, and pedophiles.

There are two types of libertarians. One type wants to remove the government because they believe the government is the main source of oppression and exploitation. The second type wants to remove the government because they think the government blocks them from oppressing and exploiting people.

It seems that the second type is dominant in the USA.

War criminal is also a pedophile. What a surprise.

And what about privacy? Do people still have a right for anonymous payments, or if one needs to buy, for example, big dildo in a sex shop, both bank’s manager and the government should know about it? And besides jokes, do they really want to build a system with a full control of financial operations of citizens? Sounds like a step to the neo-GULAG for me (GULAG is a name of the system of opression camps that exiated in the former USSR). Especially in Albania, that is still quite far away from the top of democracy and freedom ratings.

It looks like the state surveillance fo their citizens everywhere, including social network is from a very rare kind of questions where the position of neo-libertarians meets the position of neo-liberals.

I’m curious is it a coincidence that both of these “peacemakers” were from conservative parties of their countries?

Beautiful project!

I agreed about media. The story is much more complex as usual, there was good and there was bad about USSR. I do not like the idea of taking only good or only bad about USSR from the history to aggressively and manipulatively push somthing.

And I do not like when anyone’s family past is used for politival advantage or disadvantage. Like why is it matter where who was born, who was one’s grandpa or something, etc. when we are talking on current days politics? Focus on the present problem.

I only left this commentary because for me making a meme with mentioning only her father is kind of manipulation. There is the fact that her family (mother) was oppressed. Technically speaking she doesn’t lie when she is is saying that. The “meme” is trying to portrait it like she is lying by providing only half of information and by ignoring another half. I just do not like it. And it is not against what did you say.

I think proton is the most blocked by governments group of services in the entire world. To have a backup in .kbdx file sounds at least like a good idea.

During the March 1949 Soviet mass deportations, Kallas’ mother, Kristi, six months old at the time, grandmother and great-grandmother, all labeled as “enemies of the state”, were deported to Siberia. Her mother was allowed to return to Soviet-occupied Estonia in 1959.

I think she was talking about her mother as victim of USSR, not about his father.

Fedora Silverblue – a very good balance of immutable distro and user friendliness. Stability and reliability of being immutable without low-level hacking like in Nix / Guix.

According to the Movember Foundation, a leading men’s health organization and partner of UN Women, two-thirds of young men regularly engage with masculinity influencers online.

While some content offers genuine support, much of it promotes extreme language and sexist ideology, reinforcing the idea that men are victims of feminism and modern social change.

So, 2/3 of young men are risking to become incels, right? Because it is hard to imagine a young girl who is looking for a partner with hyperfocus on his own masculinity as well as a partner, who portraits himself as victim? That is sad…

He made a terrible crime and he is guilty, no doubts. I’m not trying to exceuse him! My point was that the problem is not in “bad nations”, cause I’m very often see arguments like “all russians are war criminals”, “all muslim are terrorists”, “all Israelis are doing genocide”, etc. For me the problem is not even in propaganda, because it looks like this russian did not know about the conflict at all three months before the event. The problem for me is there are too musch people on the planet, that are living on the edge and that are rejected by society. And to reduce an amount of people that are having lack of empathy we as a spice should work on inequality instead of again and again jumping into discussion what nation is bad and what nation is good.

His journey to that miserable stretch of front where Hodniuk died – to becoming Stalker – began in an orphanage in Gremyachinsk, a decayed old coal town about a thousand miles from Moscow on the way to Siberia. Orphaned at birth, Kurashov was raised in a group home. As a teenager, he got into a fight with a police officer and was imprisoned for assault. He served four years, but on his release he had no family, friends or place to live, so he became a vagrant. He began robbing summer houses and shops for food and money, he said, resulting in another imprisonment, this time in a remote penal colony alongside men serving life sentences for the some of the most brutal crimes.

Six months into that sentence, representatives from the Russian military came to the penal colony and told the convicts they had an opportunity to turn a new page in their lives. Kurashov still had five years to serve. “They told us you can have a clean slate, become a clean person,” he said. “Just sign this contract and go.”

“Go” meant to the “special military operation” in Ukraine. Kurashov knew little about it, he said, but he thought anything was better than five more years in the penal colony or being turned out into the streets at the end of his sentence. So he signed, and was taken immediately to a training camp in occupied territory in Ukraine.

Another proof of the Marxism idea that human nature is determined by material conditions surrounded it. There is no “bad russians”, “bad muslims”, “bad israelis”, etc., there are only “people who had been pushed down by life and rejected by society, who were outside of society”…

Yes. As well, you can by such a mount everywhere (I bought my ob aliexpress). I can recommend a two-side one for the handlebar: bike computer on the top side and the light on the bottom side, I found such a setup very useful.

Lights from igsport are quite good, have type-c charger and a universal mount (like bike conputers, action cameras, etc).

Thanks for the explanation!
