Deleting your account if that wasn’t TORposted

Instead of real activism I might just keep reminding ourselves, everything we do online should be considered posted under our names + emailed to Cashmoney Pawtel, subj line: “domestic terrorist 👇”

Wonder when soft bottomfeeder commenters like me will get Gitmo’d (CECOT’d). First they’re coming for Kilmar & the Palestinian grad student, next…

(I’m really milquetoast I just can’t imagine free speech is going to last very long even for privileged birthright citizens with birthright parents)

successfully lied to

Indeed—quoting this as it matches my earlier comment and it’s the best way* I can think of to show something important:

Zero sarcasm in my earlier comment. That’s no “/s”.

*Permission granted to stalk comment history for a sec too :) username was a misnomer this time around but I do like to have fun too

btw the arc of the moral universe is long, per Dr. King, but I do hope it meaningfully bends toward justice while we are all still on this rock with our loved ones

Oh goodness JB… that is awful, people close to you succumbing to the expertly-crafted lies of powerful, malicious goons.

Really sorry to hear that. Neither this country nor our people were educated or prepared for this, broadly speaking.

Our defenses were so low, I had no idea. I knew we were sucking eggs in education and healthcare and all kinds of things, but I didn’t know we would be susceptible to this kind of Heritage Foundation attack in a post-decorum world.

I branched out there but anyway, really sorry to know bad people exploited us and left you unable to live a key part of your life in the way you deserve 🖤

I wonder if employees of evil corporations reading your comment are more likely to quit or chill their speech

I hope that at least one whistleblower stays employed at every evil corp

Agree that person would certainly be an over generalizer. What’s the Nazi part about it from your perspective?

For those who wanna shell out some money:

Pricing is likely a little higher than the lowest price they show. Expect a couple bucks or something after making a purchase of like… five bucks or so.

Apparently Monero is accepted.

(They have plenty of competitors and some might be cheaper or not require purchasing a balance.)

The politicians may want the win for selfish reasons. You just want the best representatives for yourself, your loved ones, and your country.

This hypothetical allows you to weigh a party taking the moral high ground against representatives the average Lemming does not want making four years of policy decisions being in a position to do so.

You can give the party you want to win a spine, but it comes at a cost.

Interesting. Then I’m guessing you’d accept the time machine showed you the right outcome & would let the dems lose this election, but it would help them for the next/future elections?

Thanks for your input everybody!

Thank you - this led to lots of interesting reading!

Ayyyyy

Amazon Lightsail, free for three months!

What a fabulous suggestion to meet every need listed.

Like you, @just_another_person@lemmy.world & @AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space also get lots of credit for a solution that will meet my need in spite of my focus on the cloud-based solution. The free Lightsail option is a little slower than would be ideal… it’s also freeeee! So glad to be exposed to it regardless of whether I end up going local VM or cloud.

Thanks!

Most succinct yet informative possible description of IsThereNet, I think :)

u won’t

I am so installing this! Will be very useful beyond the simple use case in my OP. Thanks Data.

Clever! Thanks for finding those links too.

Ah, my threat model isn’t that Snowden, thanks.

you could get a false negative

Good point. Will keep that in mind in general. (For this specific use case? Maybe it’s fine since if I see the red bar while my apps are still working, I could ignore it - but now I’ll think back to your comment and understand maybe Cloudflare is experiencing an issue. In which case I’ll check their status pages and wouldn’t be surprised to see some news article or complaints too!)

Thank you, and thanks for the counterpoint @TaviRider@reddthat.com

In 2004 I would not have understood why!

Naughty naughty 🙂

Good alternative, thanks!
