yeah, let's make cara profile every single person who walks by. better yet, they should just call the cops if they don't recognize the person so they can kill the Black person.

trust me, they're already working on it. they already made airbags that require a subscription

actually fash or is this a meme?

the crisis is here, whatever the political class does. there's no escaping it now.

someone tell her to dump this prick and come hang out with us

yup, you got it. comms are communities, which is why it's /c/comm_name on lemmy. an unfederated/local-only comm is only visible through the instance that hosts it. you can access it without logging in but only via the hosting instance.

e.g. people from other instances don't need access to the instance feedback comm and shouldn't be able to participate in internal discussions about instance policies.

local-only comms landed in Lemmy so our comms for marginalized folks don't have to deal with the influx of people randomly driving by with soft bigotry. we also got controls for whether DMs are federated or not, which also helps.

under most cases, they only have this data via DNS. it's encrypted once the actual https request is made - only the destination ip address is available at that point. so encrypting DNS and securing that is probably more important than the protection a VPN provides. if you use a VPN without some form of DNS encryption, you're trading one ISP you don't trust for a second you shouldn't trust but inappropriately are. DNS anonymization is an extra step you can and should take to ensure you're not trusting your DNS provider, either - it works by tunneling encrypted DNS requests through shared, public relays.

what you actually need a VPN for is to mask your ip address to the website you're visiting and to mask the ip address you're visiting from your ISP. these are important considerations but it's useless if you don't first protect DNS, ensure you can't be tracked via cookies/be fingerprinted, and ensure you're only connecting to websites over https.

VPNs are an important and useful tool but they're not the first or best tool for digital hygiene. you have to tackle each layer, one at a time. start at the top and work down the hierarchy.

wait, it worked once? who's the fucking rube who fell for that?

dear liberals,

apparently no one told you this, but actually you can just pack the courts. you don't need to talk about it. you don't need permission. just fucking do it.

sincerely, people who don't love eating shit

you make good points

but they're gonna do that with or without the lawsuit

I had someone on here awhile ago tell me saying people shouldn't use Windows was victim blaming.

comparing software users to abuse victims is... a choice...

think it's easier to just say it than to do the gymnastics to find the right analogy here. it's hard to give advice without the real context.

por que no los dos? vote early, vote often, as they say.

right, but they also said any exercise of constitutional authority is an official act, so good luck getting anything declared a private act by the courts.

it's just an excuse to not have to exercise power. the only acceptable exercises of power are bombing brown kids and stomping the left.

So, would official acts as president be legal by definition?

yes, and further that any exercise of constitutional authority is an official act.

Would there be such a thing as an official act as president that may otherwise be criminal?

in the prosecutable sense? no. the president is no longer bound by congressional authority.

And how does the ruling protect against treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors (specifically, the past part)?

courts won't do shit about it, congress will have to (lmao)

How is this ruling not in direct contrast to the constitution?

the constitution is toilet paper and always has been. scotus just wiped some diarrhea with it.

it's always projection.
