someone should point out to them that a vpn is the technological equivalent of the burqa.

either ban both, or allow both.

i’m not clicking on a reddit link so this assertion may be wrong, but i don’t think the case in the OP has anything to do with trump?

… gas is a type of fluid.

that goes a long way in explaining some of those farts.

makes sense. after all, the united kingdom + a lot of rain + an affinity for Ecstasy = UK-Rain-E.

but, hey, we have this super-mega toy that can hallucinate an answer to your esoteric questions for that price!

that’s got to be a bargain, yes?

enrol there before them, then.

be like the tree; let the dead leaves drop.

it was smaller than Lemmy is now when I first started using it.

so now we know whom to blame for its enshittification

yep, it wasn’t just a plain tiff.

double-negatives in the headline means a positive article.

in many ways, yes evidently. but there’s something additional at the end of this story which transcends those legends.

but thanks for the link. live and learn!

High Citadel was the first of his books that i read and i was hooked immediately. from the crash landing to the riverside standoff to the trek across the andes to the ultimate jet dogfight - it’s just one rollercoaster dip after another.

and the guerrilla tactics were something else altogether. especially the building of the crossbows and the trebuchet as well as the crash caused by the cable spool.

i’d still place Vivero Letter, Snow Tiger, and a couple of others above it but it’s miles ahead of Juggernaut, Wyatt’s Hurricane, and the weird one about some inheritance.

i can’t recommend the novel “The Vivero Letter” by Desmond Bagley enough when it comes to the subject of lost mayan cities.

as with his other novels, the research that he showcases in his narrative is nothing short of impressive – especially considering that he was active at a time without the internet.

it’s definitely one of his better books.

wait till you hear about white and black boards.

employees of companies with whom you’ve registered that email id sell it for some quick cash on the side.

i can aver this confidently since i know someone from dominos pizza has leaked my email id. i have a convoluted gmail id which i use to register to all these services and – because it’s gmail – i can set up random dots and a custom phrase behind a + to register specific variants to specific companies (e.g., abcxyz123@gmail vs. ab.c.xyz123+dominos@gmail).

all the spam and pseudo-phishing email is sent only to the variant which i’ve registered to dominos and not to a different variant (e.g., a.bcxyz123+bankname@gmail) registered to any other company.

the leaked email id doesn’t contain a name and is too random for it to just be “guessed” by the spammers.

we need a comeback of the bumper sticker, “i don’t need an suv, my dick is big enough.”

given his choice of weapon, i’m surprised he didn’t “stop!”.

you would have received more relevant responses if you had titled your post as, “there is absolutely no evidence that musk is against free speech. what are you folks on about, anyway?”

well, that and maybe because it does help us communicate with all the aurally challenged people around us.

… and most of the rest of us are in obtuse poverty.
