I hate both the national-narcissism which eventually blossoms inyo totalitarianism/cults, including the MAGA-cult,,
& the abomination-methods of the MAGA-cult, the zionism-cult, the christofascism-cult, the islamism-cult, the manosphere-cult, the confucian-supremacism-cult, the various ideological-cults, the Physicalist-Matetialist-Existentialist Scientism cult which disallows all evidence falsifying it ( as Rupert Sheldrake has pointed-out there are multiple experiments which falsify that ideology/religion, but the evidence is simply ignored/denied, axiomatically ), etc.
Bernie Sanders, AOC, Mamdani ( & his Mom the documentary-director who made him become who he is, from what i've read ), & Snowden,

That work of theirs makes our world better,
& Canada, being in our world, benefits from all such upright good work, everywhere.
is the blunt fact that universe will enforce the Great Filter,
and humankind could learn willingly which humankind won't .. or humankind can learn unwillingly quite-possibly through outright species-extinction, later this century.
This isn't a decision which will obey our ignoring: either neatly-all-of-us die, xor all-of-us die, this century.
Addiction ( to ignoring/denying, in this case, to ideologies in many cases, etc ) is real, and values its habit more than it values future-life.
How does one crack the ignoring of the US left, who insist that their future-election will save them, while ICE has now got a national crematoriums network for eradicating problem people, just as the previous reich did??
How does one crack addiction's ignoring/"knowing", anywhere??
Bitterness becomes .. natural.
Humankind won't know, and the needless waste-of-whole-planet will begin once the dictatorship-tippingpoint is crossed, by Trump, later in 2026, this year.
That is written by a former Muslim, specifically on how he found some things problematic.
If you want well-considered points to dig into, his book would probably be much more significant than most internet fluff.
Whether you, or any other, find it helpful, that was the only intent: to give deeper, sharp focus, so your lives could gain from meaning in whatever way you want.
check your permissions, & then check, on google, what those perms allow..
IF you're in Android, not iPhone, THEN there is nothing you can do to block google from knowing your phone-number.
Whether iPhone users truly have privacy from google..
i wouldn't bet much on that..
As former mafia man ( Firenzese, or something ) said:
once they've got enough all-pervading leverage on you, then you cannot win: the leverage locks.
I'm misphrasing it, and he was speaking about the mob, but the principle is true, globally not only in the context he was speaking.
All of surveillance-capitalism is rooted in putting the subjects/serfs in a panopticon, & never letting them out, squeezing them all until the individuals die, being replaced by new inmates, but the population-as-a-whole never would be tolerated to escape..
Perfect industrialized parasitism.
sorry about the bitterness: i'm an old geek & had some idea of what good could be done, world-wide, with tech..
DarkTriad's incorporated-feudalism proved it won, totally, easily.
Presuming any perspective other than awareness, as the frame-of-reference, is something only a sophist or physicalist/materialist would do.
& physicalist/materialist ones who claim that they "know" .. anything, whatsoever, when knowing is substance-of-meaning, not mere-mindless-matter, are gaslighting.
Such things give greater diversity-of-perspective, but they absolutely-do distort awareness.
& awareness is the bedrock of aware-reality, aka sentience.
WHEN there are multiple, contradictory, config-files,
THEN every single 1 of those bastards ought be explicitly-identified, in the 1st-line-comment, in ALL of them, so that all configurators of any of them know there may be overrides.
Externalize the damn memorization!
There is plenty of research identifying that parallel-IFs, and equivalent parallel/contradictory config/logic structures, are BIG bug-sources.
Ask any sysadmin who has fought config in Linux distros, due to this antipattern.
Make all the locations be named, in every such config, every fscking time!

Speaking as-if cents were the real harm enforced, not lives..
the "values" that do that..
are not humane values.
🙏
don't know why that was downvoted: spot-on about optimal granularity.
🙏
Ukraine needs a veto, specifically to prevent puppets of the kremlin from having that authority,
but they do not require the right to decide outright who represents Europe.
That is overreach.

firing, not convicting..
we have conceded rule of law, already.

Brutalism showed the essence of communism.
That was honest, actual, real, evidence.
Gaslighting by idealogues won't make that evidence vanish.
I remember the discovery of the ecological catastrophies, when the USSR died: brutalism against Nature.
Brutalism against humanness has been shown by much evidence, & much testimony, too.
Simon Whistler has a video on the experiments that soviet sociopathy/psychopathy did.
Sociopathic govt produces sociopathic culture as all mentally-competent can understand.
https://youtu.be/4oPh5o4hbIk
Communism produced that sociopathy.
Ideological makingbelieving & gaslighting can go eat rocks.

Historical-record shows we're in for closer to +6C than +2C.
The "consensus models" ignore that historical-record, of course..

from what i've read, ALL email ( possible 0.000something tolerance/error ) goes through google's mail-transfer-agents.
If they want a copy of every email that goes across the internet, they've got the saturation-of-core-servers to have that.
There simply isn't any way to bypass that.
on an irrelated note, i wish public key encryption had been normalized, & worked right..
( Snowden got stung by a misconfiguration, 1 time, & if geeks get stung, then it isn't ready for normals )

it depends on how cold it is where you live,
it depends on if you need work-specific clothes,
it depends on how infrequently you do laundry,
it depends on your society's requirement for diversity-of-appearance,
etc.
also, wardrobe-coordination is something that few understand..
.. just random points, is all ..
Authority-Theatre.
call it what it is.

🙏
Not to worry, though: this evidence won't falsify any climate-model held valid by consensus:
consensus is itself the only validity that matters!
< bitterness >
NONE of the consensus-models match the data, from what i've read.
That's pseudoscience/politics, not science.
Sabine Hossenfelder ( who sometimes is right ) pointed-out that all the more-extreme-than-consensus models were pruned-out/defunded..
making it impossible to match the later-produced data.
Politics isn't capable of surviving Natural Selection, aka The Great Filter.
Our unconscious choice, though..
at least our species' epitaph will be "important".
idiocy.

Charge ships trying to pass through,
NOT charging Netanyahu's "Israel" who keeps bombing the ceasefires/agreements out of existence, right??
Clownshow is exactly right.

Be careful which jurisdiction you, and your project, are in.
The titanium-curtain will be coming-down later this year, and there will be alot of police-state aggression, in many countries, soon.
Please make certain you are safe to be doing this, wherever you are.
In the US, RuleOfJustLaw already is banished, & TuleOfLegalism is fading, as RuleOfAuthority supplants it..
Humankind's Great Filter isn't going to be .. civilized.

ICE is the US's IDF-in-Gaza, but in the Democrat States:

Netanyahu's "Israel" is integrating with the US's military, right??
ICE's nazi-style crematoriums are pertinent, then.. https://youtu.be/aBMJOAUMb5U
