If you want to be extra sure you don’t end up on team Epstein, no question is a stupid question when it comes to ascertaining someone’s age.
If I ever get oppressed for my speech
You already are.
Ask yourself: can you say or post absolutely everything that falls under free speech - i.e. not calls to violence of civil disturbance? Do you feel like you can safely talk about all subjects without being cancelled or sued?
As soon as you start thinking twice about whether you can say something safely, that’s censorship. Censorship isn’t someone breathing over your neck saying “Be careful what you say”, it’s you self-censoring so you don’t get into trouble.
The bill to fund the Gestapo has been passed. Too late.
Trump’s tariffs are illegal though, and could / should / will be hopefully annuled.
That’s assuming there’s a democracy left functioning.
I saw this coming in 1999 when Scott McNealy inadvertantly spilled the beans on what his hateful industry was up to, and I have been extremely cautious about what I’ve been posting ever since. People have called me a paranoid crackpot for decades. I guess I hate to tell you I told you so…
Wow… I had never seen a Viking warrior up close.
Oh dear… The crazy broad might lose her post as Trump’s Rasputin.
Or not… Trump is probably too busy with the Epstein files to notice her treason.
Enjoy your Dad while he’s around. When you’re old and he’s not there anymore, you’ll miss this shit.
You’re not wrong. But I have another argument: the Trump regime is not yet fully entrenched, and now is the time to vote with your wallet and boycott the collaborators that bankroll the regime in an effort to smother it before it’s too late. There’s still a tiny chance and every little bit helps.
China on the other hand… It’s been around for so damn long, no matter how much you try to boycott China-made product - if that’s even possible - it not going to make a dent in the regime’s grip.
One does what one can where one can.
Well, there’s another reason why I run this ARM laptop: it’s fully open-source. Well, mostly: there’s one binary blob left. But that’s as close to open-source as I was able to find.
Like I said, there’s no good option if you need a computer - or indeed any product - that wasn’t made by some company in some country that runs against the values you believe in. Only the least bad option. This laptop is the one that ticked the most boxes for me.
I use an ARM laptop as my daily driver (RK3588 CPU).
Is ARM great? No. It’s slower than similarly-priced AMD64 machine, and for some reason, whatever power-saving algorithm my particular compute module is running makes everything CPU-intensive that interacts with the users choppy and annoying.
But it’s more than usable, and I have no doubt it’ll get better over time.
Here’s the most important thing about ARM for me though:
The ARM stuff I currently rock is made in China. Not great, but if you need a computer, it’s sadly the least terrible option at the moment.
Even if cryptocurrencies weren’t a giant scam - and in fairness, at the beginning, they weren’t - did you really think the governments of the world would just idly let randos take control of money out of their hands?
I refer you to Amschel Rothschild’s famous quote:
Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!
I’m actually surprised that the authorities around the world have tolerated crypto for so long. It probably has something to do with corruption, and the fact that it’s really just a scam and not sustainable in the long run.
This must be malware! This test also works without downloading any app - or indeed without a phone.
The United States.
Well, I don’t wish ill on anybody. But when it does happen to some people, schadenfreude can be enjoyable.
Rest in piss Charlie.
It’s funny how little of that word he hated I feel for him right now… I guess he just didn’t attract a lot of it as a terrible person.
If the sickos who go into schools with guns switch to gunning down MAGAts instead, I’m all for it.

Well, I haven’t tried it yet but I feel totally safe and confident that my privacy will be totally respected already.
Something tells me a lot of porn sites will suddenly start being summarized…
And in Wuhan too.
Those two will spread COVID everywhere again!
