Am I mistaken or are you the same person who asked if you were the asshole for not planning to attend your fathers funeral after being given an explicit invitation and request to attend because you might see people you don’t like?

If so, consider making amends before tricking your parents into a public place so you can ask them how they want to handle their deaths with a little less chance of your own discomfort.

If possible, enroll in a program of therapy. What you’re experiencing isn’t abnormal, but the way you’re responding to it definitely is. I want you to be healthy and have access to the resources you need during the experience of managing loved ones lives.

People should send nude pictures to people who take action against the Zionist ethnostate.

What’s the problem here?

Idk about that either. In the real or the abstract.

I think right now the companies that host the services demonetize people and if I remember right the responsibility for content is a part of the communications decency act in the us. There’s an ongoing fight on weather to get rid of the section that gives immunity to the carrier of a message intended to originally make bell telephone not responsible for when you yell slurs at someone through the receiver.

One interpretation of that section is that the platform isn’t responsible for the content on it and they like it that way and tbh that’s why they demonetize people because it gives them the chance to avoid people interpreting it the other way, that platforms are responsible for the content on them which would be all well and good except for the fact that it would apply to cox cable and l3 and everyone who carried your hypothetical slur ridden twitter post to the twitter server and also to you for wickedly using tls to obfuscate your hateful language from those innocent companies and usher us into ultimate surveillance hell world.

but none of what I wrote matters because the dead man and newspaper in the op are both on the island of England which is inhabited entirely by degenerates whomst the communications decency act doesn’t apply to.

Please do me the kindness of again reading this in the most sincere and respectful voice:

It’s best to put your privacy and safety needs above the possible results of a tiny fraction of the money you spend going to a foreign party you dislike.

Doh and dnssec will probably be good enough till you can sock back $20 to mail to Sweden.

Idk if it’s a reasonable thing to say that a newspaper reporting on a case of academic fraud is responsible for the death by suicide of the alleged perpetrator of that fraud…

This is happening because you touch yourself. It’s punishment from god for the sin of onanism.

E: actually probably everyone itt is forgetting about ssd read fatigue. Rewrite every block on your ssd and the problem will go away.

Yes it is.

Make sure you also have dnssec set up.

Even with doh set up, your computer reaches out to a dns server and trusts that server is what it claims to be. There are reasons and history that explain this behavior but there are also attacks that take advantage of it. Dnssec performs cryptographic identity verification to make sure you are asking the real dns server where Pornhub.com is as opposed to some on the wire or in the cloud interlocutor that might direct you to a website that looks alike or just sends you somewhere else entirely.

Please read the following in the voice of Glenda the good witch from the wizard of oz, or SpongeBob, or some other character who is on your side and would never say something mean to hurt your feelings, because I am on your side and would never say something mean with the intention of hurting your feelings:

A person who benefits from this kind of explanation would be best served by mullvad over any other vpn because it is much harder to misconfigure mullvad in a way that undoes your privacy goals.

DNS over https. It transmits your dns requests over https encrypted using tls so that the device handling them over the wire can’t inspect them.

When you type pornhub.com into your browsers address bar your computer doesn’t fucking know what that is so it asks the dns server what it is. Because of history and reasons it asks in plaintext. So your isp can see that a dns request was placed to some dns server for pornhub.com. Your isp could also edit or intercept that request. Isp means whatever WiFi you’re connected to as well. Assuming the isp allows your dns request and the servers response through, your browser will most likely connect to pornhub using https. In that case the isp won’t be able to record that you looked up shrek slime butts sheet cake sitting videos but they will know that you visited pornhub.

Doh prevents that situation.

I don’t know how you set up doh on your system because I don’t know what you’re running or how your dns is configured. I recommend you learn how to set this up yourself and verify that it’s working correctly so you can ensure your own security.

You also need dnssec, as noted above.

Doh and dnssec are more important than a vpn.

Do those first then save up some money and get mullvad.

Here’s an alternative view, one that perhaps you haven’t heard:

You are living in a world that has become less stable or secure every day. A world with rampant inflation no matter how it’s measured. Guarantees of survival from government have been eroding away steadily and with the advent of llms those same guarantees from private business are already gone.

Family is a safety net you still have access to. Property and possessions held by family empower this safety net.

Consider having a serious and painful conversation with your dying loved ones regarding how to preserve the family and ensure that wealth paid for by the lifeblood and sweat of its members remain in control of the family for as long as is possible and further the needs of the members of the family when disposed of or used.

You’re way off.

There were fuel economy requirements for c4c, your trade in had to be low mpg and your new purchase or lease had to be higher mpg. So it was never econoboxes. In fact they changed the rules in the middle of it and blacklisted a bunch of engine and model combos so you couldn’t get the rebate if your trade in was good enough on gas.

If a person was coming in to get the c4c money then the dealer had to record the vins to prevent fraud. They made a system in some of the vin check websites that made it so you could look up and make sure you weren’t being sold a salvage car like after Katrina. There was still a really small amount of insane bullshit but it was one of the first times back then that you could get a free title check across state lines instantly and online.

When a dealer gave someone the c4c money they had to record what title it was for and destroy the engine and body. So there was only the car salesman who’s employer wouldn’t be footing the bill for the payout standing between some prospective buyer correctly recognizing it was their one chance to get more for their trade in than any dealership would ever give them being way more willing to sign an onerous lease and signing off on putting reliable vehicles like the box Cherokee and blazer (and f150 and 1500 and and and) on the conveyor belt to being destroyed.

And c4c cars never got scrapped. They were destroyed and then junked. After the most expensive part was destroyed as a requirement of the program the yard that did the job had 180 days to destroy the body. American scrapyards aren’t like European or Asian ones where the car is disassembled into its component parts that each get tagged and put on a shelf in a big warehouse, they drag the car out into a field and let it sit there. A car with no usable engine isn’t even worth handling because it’s taking up space that one with an engine could occupy. It’s not even worth putting in a spot because you have half a year to get some value out of the accessories that weren’t damaged in the engine destruction process (no water pump, no manifolds, no radiators or oil coolers, when the engine blows its seals externally it might even take out the alternator!) and the interior before you gotta move it on. Better to never mess with it in the first place.

Even if none of that were true and it wasn’t actively destroying the parts, engine and chassis availability for two decades of vehicles people could have been driving for dubious environmental and economic gain, c4c specifically incentivized the poorest drivers to take on debt in order to juice the economy. It was fucking evil.

Debian: the worst Linux distribution, except for all the other ones.

Long time Debian user and governance appreciator. Welcome. If you want some schizophrenia inducing reading material you should go back and check the long and well documented history of Debian voting.

The word “worked” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

If your goal is to justify throwing things away, there are whole self help ecosystems built to help you to toss it all, from self transformation regimens to grief processing and everything in between. Find one you like and read, listen and engage about it on social media till you believe what it says then just throw all your stuff out.

You could also not do that and listen to your CDs and records, read your old books and either store your old clothes to give to your kids or use them as patch material for clothes that do fit.

It’s a question of forgetting your past or integrating it into your present.

First time?

You do not need to keep replying to me with insults and vitriol. I’m not trying to fight you.

I’m trying to make sure that anyone who reads your comments understands that audiobooks are not in any way a substitute for reading. I want you and anyone who also listens to podcasts or audiobooks or even those long yts to understand that they are different things.

I think that’s an important thing to do because one of the biggest differences is the type of thought each one requires and reading the written word is associated with better cognitive outcomes as a person ages.

I want you to live a long healthy life so I’m still replying :)

If you understand what graphene is for and you need that then you wont wait.

Even if you don’t understand what graphene is for or if you need it and are trying to make a decision: graphene on new and used pixel phones works as expected now. It has been tested and proven against many different intelligence and surveillance apparatus. Motorolas new phone may not come out at all (it’s more likely than you might think!), may not end up supporting graphene (or graphene may not end up supporting it!) or it may have serious flaws that need to be addressed (it is a new hardware platform after all!).

If you need it now don’t wait.

Listening to audiobooks engages a different way of thinking than reading the written word does. Listening to audiobooks is not reading.

That isn’t to say it’s not fun or interesting or a way to occupy your mind but it’s not the same as reading.

Please read. Listening to podcasts and audiobooks is no substitute. When you listen you’re thinking in a different way than when you’re reading and it’s important not to lose those cognitive capacities.
