Very cool & giving me some inspiration for… stuff.

Momentarily thought they were mailing out hard copies, as they seek a mailing address to check out a book. I get this is likely to comply with copyright obligations, or just because the charity lacks the resources to supply the entire world, but it is a vulnerability should the library be attacked. Suggest users furnish addresses they do not live at - ideally non-residential addresses - addresses of campaign offices of local homophobic & transphobic representatives would work, but so would govt departmental buildings or commercial premises which are used by a lot of people (best to not put some randomer at risk).

If conditions cannot be guaranteed, the court can uphold his appeal and deny the order.

Whether or not that ruling would in turn be appealed by the US DoJ to the UK Supreme Court is moot. Ditto chance of success if it is. Between impinging on the right to freedom of expression & the horrors of the US penal system, extradition is likely illegal under UK human rights law.

Here’s hoping they prevail & that they inspire others either way.

Do like the slogan on that banner.

That likely explains things. Thank you! Am here via Memmy.

Cheers. That worked. What a spooky coincidence! Can’t think why it would have been blocked.

The word it translates to is not visible for me in your comment.

Could be that it got censored out somehow - there’s a double space between “as” and “which”.

As it is true that very little of settlements or awards like this will be paid out to affected users, I’d like to see legislation amended so that a large percentage of the sum has to be used for major privacy education campaigns, pushed online & through every other media, created and overseen by robust privacy organisations.

In a case like this, I’d want to compel Google to target users of Incognito Mode with privacy education material - again created & overseen by privacy orgs.

Last thing Google wants is to be compelled to show slick, unskippable privacy education clips on every Youtube video.

Just tried on my iOS Safari, and did not see anything like this, whether logged in or logged out. Usually use Memmy app.

Unsure if relevant, but I do block a lot of DNS requests.

There’s a type of Japanese felt tip which writes somewhere between a fountain pen and a ballpoint, and there are versions that can be filled with ink. They don’t need all the faffing around of fountain pens, and don’t dent the paper like a ballpoint.

Maybe, when nobody is trying to have a discussion, and everyone is feeling fairly neutral & not preoccupied, you could let your sibling know that the sounds which might be acknowledgement can be misinterpreted as frustration. Acknowledge that you appreciate they might not be frustration, but that you’d like some clues to tell when they are actually frustrated or disinterested in engaging, so the Elders can develop a more useful sense of how to continue. Continuing might involve insistence or boundaries, but could equally involve leaving your sibling be or finding some other approach.

As an aside, you sound very loving & I really admire your determination to find a way to help your family communicate more effectively & with less aggravation. You make your family sound very cool.

Can see how being so removed from what are standard amenities in much of the world might make one nervous of their (re)introduction, but it makes me wonder which was the chicken & which the egg.

It feels as though the price of both land & gas, back in the day, featured heavily in the tolerance of such bizarre ideas.

Good grief, it is lovely they’re trying to change the law, but saddened to learn that such small local places of all kinds were prohibited. A cafe, a newsagent, a small pharmacy within a short walk of one’s home make life so, so much more pleasant.

They do, just never at rates that are come close to the straights, because it is a whole thing one has to set out organise (usual caveats about exceptions, notwithstanding).

I guess incels believe that they have a lower chance of procreating than the gays.

Until they relinquish their noxious views, they’re probably right in that belief, but I’d imagine this guy & his associates are referring not to procreation, but to shifts in the social hierarchy.

Oh I know. Still not at a laptop to reply properly though.

Note to self to reply properly later. Some interesting ideas in here, especially with regard to your points on self-crit.

Hard to know unless one happens to know more about a given individual.

And there’s the rub.

Though am sure some are unaware how risible they seem to anyone vaguely normal, broadly this tactic is used in the hope of fooling onlookers by seeming like jokester weirdos rather than deadly serious ideologues.

Could be good if we at Beehaw could make a group donation, either directly to this initiative, or to assist with travel & other related expenses.

Oh you want this stuff by a brand called Hagesan Blue, sometimes listed as “HG”. It’ll be obvious which of their products to get though if I recall a few are suitablr.

Ryman’s used to sell it.

These fuckers are such fucking ghouls.

If they just put a tiiiny bit of funding into supporting less unhealthy systems, they’d be at vastly less risk of the sort of reforms that will neuter them entirely.
