With uMatrix, I was able to simply search my rules for polyfill and remove all entries that came up. And now, no polyfill scripts will be loaded for me.

If this is real and not just staged, i really like the implication that people receptive to this kind of messaging have been gaslit by troll campaigns into holding views that run counter to their own interest.
I think anyone paying attention already suspected as much, but with many of those troll farms now switching to ChatGPT, again, if this is real, it highlights how we now can get undeniable proof of this farming happening.

Give Ukraine better weaponry then. The first ATACM Ukraine received were all cluster munition-types.

And, of course, if you want your children to have a peak male physique.

Shows that there are enough people so desparate to be lead, that they’ll follow anyone, as long as they are confident and unapologetic. And then there are the grifters that’ll do anything for clout and money. Trump supporters have shown themselves to be naive and easily manipilated, so those grifters flock to pander to them.

It waw McGregor. And while the explosion was spectacular, it happened on the test stand, so not much damage was done actually.

The word “yacht” is misleading. It was a 15 meter charter sailboat, of the type Sun Odyssey 519. If you are looking for rich fucks to make fun of, you won’t find them on these kind of boats.

The irony is that in reality, it’s reversed: Official Chinese envoys build up ‘police stations’ to suppress chinese immigrants.

This happens in Europe too. I hope the european agencies are similarly engaged in protecting dissidents. There have been numerously stories as of late about China using their embassy as a ‘chinese police station’.

What avenues of escalation are left to Putin? 80% of his army is tied up in Ukraine, the rest is needed for border patrol. All russian men that would join the army voluntarily have already joined, so a big mobilization would see the support for the war plummet. And after that, all that is left is the big N word. And there are plenty of reasons why Putin doesn’t want to use those.

On the other hand, letting Ukraine lose will lead to much more instability in the future.

Edit: above comment accused ‘lefties’ of wanting WW3.

And here I am, emailing password protected zip files to people when the documents are not to be scanned by my mail provider.

Yes, we need more crypto-bro mindsets when approaching the defense of allies. Invest big and hodl! Diamondhands!

I was sweating over here, not being able to come up with anything more in the realm of fiction than a sane republican party.

But haven’t you heard? The US has already committed LITERAL BILLIONS to Ukraine, and what did it get us? Nothing! Just imagine if that money would’ve been spent here! We could have spent it on schools Some poor CEO could’ve had fat bonuses! Maybe we could’ve cancelled the medical debt of 100 people We could’ve spent more on covering up environmental damage without doing anything against the companies that caused that damage.

I tell you, if we wouldn’t have spent that money on Ukraine, we could’ve medicare for all, student loan forgiveness, functioning infrastructure and a sane republican party. But because we spent those billions on Ukraine, sadly, we had to budget a little and got none of the above. If only we still had that money, all of our woes would be over!

Also, just because Ukraine loses the traditional war, doesn’t mean that the fighting will stop.
Also also, what greater threat to european peace and stability is there than a bunch of former allies, who are battle-hardened, traumatized, right next to EU borders and are feeling betrayed by their ‘western partners’?
A russia-funded network of right-wing parties, aimed at breaking up the european union, recently invigorated by their success of stopping a unified response to russia’s invasion.

I know that it is a can of worms politically, but now the man the whole world owes the wake-up call that were his leaks to, is forced to live under Putin.

If Snowden ever did, he hardly did it out of his own volition.

It really is a shame how spineless european politicians are, to not give Edward Snowden protection in europe. I bet a whole bunch of politicians are happy that he faded out of the collective mind, so they don’t have defend their indefensible standpoint of not giving Snowden amnesty.

It also sucks that there is no recourse against politicians that are clearly biased in their decisionmaking.

I much prefer uMatrix over NoScript, it is way more intuitive. And even though uMatrix is no longer updated, it still works better than NoScript for me. My Firefox Android has gotten soft-locked by NoScript in regular intervals. Since they enabled uMatrix for Firefox Android again, I have had no such issues.

To my knowledge, you don’t need to opt out of anything.
