Yeah it's a depressing reality that a lot of government is uninformed people making uninformed decisions that affect the entire country.

The non-free version is not official. The last time I used it, it came pre-installed with a bunch of Indonesian language bloat software that it not part of the official Debian install. This is not an acceptable middle ground.

This is real. I have had it confirmed to me by a Comcast employee. And really, this shouldn't surprise anyone.

Yes let them exercise their free speech so they can collectively silence others; You're on to something.
And speaking of parroting, I'll agree that much of what joe and by proxy his guests say is dangerous. Where we disagree is whether or not these things are "untrue" and to whom they are dangerous towards.

Teledildonics is now part of my vocabulary, and I intend to use it whenever possible.

Correct, they both work as protease inhibitors.

I'm largely indifferent as I don't use Firefox but find it irksome that they are routinely touted as the torchbearers of privacy in the browser world.

@munchler
I did read what you wrote, I meant to reply to the commenter below. As for your point, clearly the higher ups at Google disagree.

We don't live in a utopia. There are going to be people that say and do things that you dislike; That's reality. Instead of running to an authority figure to complain every time you encounter adversity, like a child, people need to learn to handle those situations...like adults. Someone acting mean or making an off color comment like this are a fact of life. No amount of safe spaces and down voting inconvenient truths is going to change that.

Are you saying you would be afraid of this person for that comment? Part of being an adult is learning to deal with adversity.

Static typing aside, I don't find it any more verbose (noisy) than Python. In fact I find it strikes a perfect balance.

More complex =/= more secure. Tor, Whonix, Tails, et all have sections in their wikis covering potential tunneling setups and their thoughts on efficacy and rationale behind them.
From the Tor wiki:
> You -> X --> Tor --> X
> No research whether this is technically possible. Remember that this is likely a very poor plan because [#You-Tor-X you -> Tor -> X] is already a really poor plan.

"User > VPN > Tor > VPN"
This suggests to me the author is giving advice based on paranoia rather than technical knowledge.
