Do you add uBlock Origin to Tor? I know that it is not recommended.

What about the quantity of the inequality? If our equality at the moment is 1 to 60, certainly 1 to 6 is better, no?

I cannot see a way out other than socialism, unfortunately.

Why unfortunately? Because under current conditions a revolution seems very unlikely, and if you really decide to become a socialist, committed and organized, you risk a lot.

You risk imprisonment, getting beaten by the police, going to prison for quite some time. And by investing your time and energy studying Marxist theory, Lenin, matters regarding the unique material conditions of the country you are revolting in, you risk your 'field', by field I mean you risk your occupation or profession. For example, you are a biologist, and you can't see a way out of this capitalist predicament, and feel a strong responsibility towards the world, you are now robbed of your time because you have to study socialist theory.

The other person in your field is indifferent (not a moral judgment) about politics, and will outperform you.

How did it take away national self-determination exactly? The Soviet model regarding self-determination was definitely better than what any other nation had. I probably don't have to mention that Lenin wrote a whole book on national self-determination, defending the right to self-determination on the condition that it does not harm the socialist project.

Although one may call it superficial, a mere formality no indicator of self-determination in the Republic, it is remarkable that the Soviet ruble had 15 local languages printed on the banknote.

Because I don't like the idea of someone sitting in front of me and filming me in a situation where I cannot move.

He computes too much.
With uBlock Origin, you would not see such popups. Also, it may not have an impact on your life, but it sure as hell has an impact on adtech guys' pockets.

I should also add that Proton also has become somewhat tacky aesthetically over the years. Their old Alpine, sober aesthetic was really great.
Re:Customer Update on Simplenote on Sunday March 01, 2026 @03:38PM (#47210420)
After Proton acquisition, prices became exorbitant and aesthetics hideous I guess.
I think you meant 'elegy'.

Not to say that some of his work is not useful though.

The worst thing about crypto is these "had I done this" calculations, which are crucifying for some.
Re:We're learning more about what Vitamin D does to our bodies on Saturday November 29, 2025 @02:19PM (#46090012)
IIRC, toxicity is very rare even in very high doses (like 20 k IU a day) for weeks/ two or so months.

I wait for the day when all this data collection explodes in a life threatening way for millions of people.
The guy who "censored" the links should turn himself over to the police over carelessness IMO.
For example, similar to mondediplo.com

Here from their official "presse" announcement:

Nothing less than drinking a "verification can", as presciently propounded by a 4chan user a decade ago.
Were they radical political books? Erotica?

Nay, you are wrong to think that I am a Puritan. It is just that the website is horrible and I used 'depravity' in a humorous sense.
