The first 3 months covered by taxpayers, with the rest coming from private groups, or non-profits probably paid by the government. Curious timing as they’re trying to remove tax exempt status from churches and religious organizations, while stifling their voices…
As a homeowner doing solar, you’re paying for the system with no control over what the utility pays you for the power you contribute back to them. And with solar being oversold in California, they dropped the rates they pay…
(Headline article at bottom) An extremely annoying thing with Reddit is that it blocks me on most of my VPN exit servers. I don’t have an account so I can’t login, leaving me to have to disconnect my VPN to…
It all rather sounds like a terrible implementation, so I’d just run Endeavor OS, which is an easy way of installing and running Arch Linux, which I run on a couple laptops, even with XLibre. Desktop project’s in-house distro…
An interesting article, and of importance is the difference in winemaking back then verses today. Also, wine has molecules in it that helped to sanitize collected drinking water, so people didn’t drink undiluted wine, but mixed it into water, even…
I had already posted an article about this legislation, but this was a succinct and well done article on the issues around this bill. I’m firmly of the opinion the two main reasons are for “gender affirming care” and sex…
This is a very good presentation on VPNs and the shady corporations and shell companies that own them, with links to government intelligence services and spyware vendors. Consequently, the only VPN company I trust is Mullvad VPN, but do your…
One has to wonder if IBM and Red Hat are reaping the fruits of their shenanigans with CentOS, X.Org and Wayland. The free software and opensource community were paying close attention to the XLibre defamatory behavior of some of their…
And using children to ID everyone on the internet is the play even happening in US states, and worth pointing out that the UK is arresting people for their social media posts against the unrestrained immigration, girls being raped by…
It looks like end to end encrypted radio communications of countries and governments were intentionally left vulnerable so they could be easily spied upon. Along the lines of governments wanting backdoors into encryption, though they are caving on this now…
A very good presentation on where this is all headed, price gouging of people based on AI’s determination of how much they can squeeze out of you. One of my favorite examples, is Target charging you an extra $100 for…
(Headline article at bottom) This probably comes down to the collecting of fees and those being transmitted to Roman and his partner by enabling this code based mixing service. If they would have forgone the fees, or relied on a…
Mastercard is crafty, but I wouldn’t jump on board with any of this anytime soon. Consequently, MC has virtual credit card numbers if your credit card company supports them, and they’re a great way to shop online and limit your…
Yet another way we’re being poisoned, and they’re fully aware of it as along with trying to grant megacorps immunity for pesticides, they were reclassifying sewer sludge full of this toxin as “fertilizer” so it can be dumped on farmland.…
This is a very good presentation. Since I don’t directly use Google search, as I use my SearxNG or Whoogle privacy proxies, the AI summary and not referencing links was interesting, and you’d have to deduce that they’re purposely driving…
I watch a lot of Arkansas State Trooper dashcam videos, and this one has to be one of the craziest. It’s also a combo with the body cam footage of local law enforcement. And the person they were chasing was…
