I’m sure that’ll stop him.

Right?

Good old boy’s club after all.

Ah, guess whatever cabinet member or intern that’s assigned to him finally remembered to mention Canada to him again.

Shame, really hoped he had forgotten for a while, our good friends up north at least deserve a break.

And they say taking up D&D as a hobby is weird lmao

Personally I’m quite big fan of self-hosting, but if you want less a hassle, def try some of the other suggestions.

Since you’re interested in anon file sharing, I’d really recommend you take some time to really think out just what your personal definition of anonymous is, and how well it fits in modern digital infrastructure. True anonymous activity is nearly impossible, you can be fingerprinted by even writing a file to a drive to hand to someone. Every action taken online has some trace to it, while IP is generally not precise information, with enough data overlap you can be reasonably guessed depending on how much effort someone is willing to put into it.

So you know, good luck finding a balance lol.

I used to run in consulting circles, long enough time around execs and you start to see just how well the good ol boy clubs, and know-a-guy chains can make business deals between firms. Once you get the ball rolling on a project as a large enough entity, it doesn’t take much to consult the digital equivalent of their rolodex to find vendor upon vendor for this part, this data broker, etc.

Cheaper in bulk too.

Lmao

Could anything else ever be expected with these guys?

Let’s see:

On one hand, you could put money into new and nearly well established technologies that get more per dollar return on investment.

Or…

Just keep patting your buddies on the backs and continue to give people black lung. Not-so-fun-fact, modern coal industry workers are getting black lung and retiring faster than the older workers in more senior positions in the mines. Why? The newer machinery is so much more powerful and efficient at the job, the younger works literally cannot avoid literally getting black lung.

Are they going to be investing in more remote controlled robotics and ppe for this? Lmao who am I kidding of course not.

Really makes you wonder just how absolutely vile these folks are behind closed doors if this is what’s facing the public.

If I was a writer having a political administration encourage literal toxic sludge pits, and yet further paying for those toxic sludge pits to be increased, and poisoning wells for miles around, I probably would have ever publisher I even glance at drop my number.

I recall something I recently overheard from a very excitable young man the other week: “Bro those cop shows were psyops for real”

Not quite the way I would’ve put it, but considering the change in attitude towards automatic presumption of guilt, and simple guilt by association, I think there’s strong merit.

Very true, but a happy commodity.

Okay I mayyyy be glossing over the occasional pee stains, bad scheduling, overly expensive tickets, and occasional fella high out of his gourd taking the occasional break from his hazed trance to scream at me because I’m secretly the devil.

Just the colors of life I say.

Nothing like 40 years of political maneuvering and policy influence throughout a system of government to unravel.

Small consolation, while many work to also influence local offices and political bodies to properly prop up their power, it’s also some of the easiest areas to get your foot in the door and make change yourself.

Hell, even under the Putin regime, opposition thrives in areas like schoolboards and townhalls, they tend not to be the ones thrown out windows. Just high enough to make a difference, too small to be noticed.

Lol unless the industrial complex keeps growing surveillance and monitoring without hard laws put in place, in which case oh well.

Haha helps not viewing it dead tired. Totally see where you were coming from there. It is an interesting point to make, especially given most view the need for IP protection for an individual or firm to extend only within reach of that party. Some are often enforced where common overlap occurs, like I could build surfboards under the name Tide and the soap people can’t do jack.

Yet, books long out of circulation and print are still given full protection. If copyright technically allows home movie showing to extend to streaming, why isn’t allowing home vcr recordings of tv movie broadcasts extended to downloading online streams given the actual method of data transfer is indistinguishablen from just watching it.

Shame that general priorities in law and policy are uh, what they are, I honestly would’ve loved seeing this stuff explored in the courts more, over just giving priority interest to corporations lol.

I could give you some indepth economic analysis, and behavior philosophy behind business spending, but the easiest?

Just unionize. Now. Volunteer time to talk outside work hours. Speak to local professionals like accountants and lawyers to help pro-bono with getting setup.

Talk to political offices locally, run if you can.

Talk about these issues with strangers. Print out your own corny pamphlet newspaper to educate someone willing to read.

In a car I am in constant conflict, constant in risk.

In a plane I am but a commodity, worth only my payment.

In a bus we are a union, to endure together, and one another.

In a train we are a tribe, fortified in goals, interests, as philosophers of old.

Is this some kind of bathwater thing again?

:(
