In a just country that would happen. I am no longer confident that’s how it would play out. For example, this court already ruled that Native American religion doesn’t matter and it’s ok to demolish their sacred sites: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-turns-away-native-american-lawsuit-copper-mine-sacred-la-rcna183774

I almost wish they’d just pull off the bandaid, openly rule that the first amendment only applies to Christians and unmask themselves. They’ve been slowly making a Christian theocracy and people need to wake up to what is happening.

Not really a YouTuber but I’ve always been curious what happened about a decade ago with Chris Ziegler from The Verge, who was an editor but then accepted a job at Apple on the side, and was then fired by both companies. He then disappeared entirely from the record and everyone got real quiet about it.

He is stupid in most ways, but he is very clever in how he talks to these rubes. They don’t trust everyone

I considered setting up a Pi for WireGuard at my mom’s house (her router doesn’t support VPN), so we could share subscriptions still, but decided it wasn’t worth the hassle and risk that they would start VPN detecting from the client: could just imagine them sending her emails about it that would confuse her lol

As a Californian, Newsom is just the other side of Trump’s coin. He has no principles. He puts his finger in the wind before he does anything. I’d vote for literally any other Democrat first. It’s not about him being a Progressive or not. It’s that he’d pursue literally any position if it was advantageous to him, including hard right ones.

I use Wireguard via PiVPN and it’s pretty much foolproof. I don’t bother with Dynamic DNS but have in the past

If they helped her medically, she could live and thrive while not conforming to their rules. They are afraid of other women under their thumb realizing the grass is greener and also pursuing such a nonconforming lifestyle. They know deep inside that their beliefs only are preserved through coercion

She was not the property of a man. That’s the standard by which these people assess women

It’s about propagating the religion- the lives of the people are unimportant. The religion grows by enforcing a set of customs, and anyone who doesn’t comply is threatened with ostracism or violence

Ironically, they are going directly against the teachings of the book they claim to love and study daily. The New Testament is full of warnings to treat others as you would be treated, love your neighbor, accept others as they are, abandon worldly concerns and improve yourself before judging others, etc etc. I’m just a bitter atheist pointing out the ridiculous state of their “faith”

uBlock got rid of all that for me

No nuance. Women are property to them

Yes, politicians were afraid to do anything about it for decades. It was a wink wink arrangement. Now it will be more official

Unfortunately we’ve seen over and over again that they are very narrow in what they accept as protected religious belief. Because they don’t really care about freedom or the first amendment, just coercing their particular beliefs on others

I just moved 20k bookmarks from Pocket to Readeck, and can sympathize lol. A lot of the links are dead. I found a cleanup script I’m going to run but it’s still a huge curation challenge

Oh I think I turned off the CDN, but I’ll check, thanks for the tip

Shattered my wrist riding a rental scooter. I hit a crack in some concrete and the scooter became a small catapult, sending me flying over handlebars. Took a year to feel recovered

I thought that was only for tunnels

Yeah with VPN it’s more straightforward. I wanted it accessible without which was more involved. Honestly the average user doesn’t even know what tailscale or wireguard are, so you are already advanced using those
