How was Errol Musk aware of the book (in 1970 something) if it was unpublished until 2006 ? (According to the wiki link below) ?
Were they doing nazi catch ups with Von Braun in the 60s or something ?

I’m increasingly annoyed at all these posts going "here’s how to lock down your comms from all the people coming after you for all the protesting you’re not doing.
People aren’t going to be coming after LGBTQ+ people “for the protesting” they are or are not doing.
They’ll be coming for them because they’re queer.
If you’ve even been paying a little bit of attention the magats have made it clear the two main minorities in their sights for the first round are immigrants and trans ppl.
They’ve already sent a US citizen to an El Salvadorian camp and shrugged and said sorry, can’t reverse that now.
If you think the rest of the queer minority are not in their sights you’re kidding yourself (and us)
Check your privilege.
globally. They got nothing at all to worry about
What’s that supposed to mean ? You think we’re not pissed off at the Tangerine Palpatine and Poundshop Goebbels in Europe ? Or do you think Europeans don’t protest ?
If it’s the latter I suggest a little googling try “French protest gilet jaunes” for a starter. Or you could just google the protest Tesla has already been experiencing for the last month

Everyone goes silent. It is at best a faux pas. Just. Don’t. It’s disrepectful.
Huh ! You’re right. It seems to be startpage who do that. Good thing I never used that functionality I guess. The only thing I bang is wikipedia. Umm wait, that’s not what I meant. Lol
Because ddg proxies your request, so they don’t fingerprint your browser & IP and tag the search to you
When you search google it fingerprints your browser then attachs that to the other information it amasses from tracking your other activities from other websites.
By not giving them the search content you reduce what they know.
Scenario a) you search up particular health issues on google, for the US say “how do I know I’m pregnant” then you go to an online pharmacy (Walgreen is the big US one I think) and order “plan b” (anti pregnancy drug). Google doesnt even need to know from walgreens what you ordered it will infer a pregnancy test and/or plan b then from later activity
Scenario b) you use proxy and thus google knows nothing of your search, then you go to walgreens, for all google knows you ordered makeup or hayfever tablets.
Scenario a is or will be illegal in some US states - best not to leak it.
Not a perfect example, i can poke holes in it. The point is searches are usually sensitive info, keeping them out of the hands of the most egregious activity collator keeps more privacy then if you don’t. The proxy buries your senstive search in with thousands of others that can’t be attached to you
It’s not, but it is better than using google
I can’t trust anything made by google. It’s a company that literally makes its money capturing everything everyone does on the internet…and yet the phone they make is the ONLY phone immune to having everything captured…
Sorry. Not buying it. There will be a chip in there phoning home we’ll find out about in a decade.

Theoretically the major cloud providers like MS have redundant geographically dispersed servers that mean there should only be an outage if the individual user can’t reach the internet.
In practise however those promises are hollow for a number of reasons, cost usually. Legal issues like GDPR also impinge (EU data being allowed to be in the US has been blocked by the courts the other day for example). In addition there’s a long list of other configuration reasons which almost always come back to cost indirectly.
Theoretically an ideally configured cloud solution is far superior to on-prem.
In the real world, not so much: corners cut, pennies saved by non technical managers not understanding the ramifications of their choices & etc
On prem is certainly better in the real world if you’re big enough to afford proper redundancy and to hire and keep good techs.
Many many firms can’t tick those boxes though and so you get to imperfect world optimisation where what is good for coy. A is bad for coy. B
Fascism inevitably ends with a lot of people in camps being killed. Not revolting may not save you.
In which case why would Greenland want one ? Iirc Only 6% of their population feel that aligning with / being taken over by the US would be a good idea. 75+% are “hell no” the remainder are against it (but less vociferously).
The biggest debate in Greenland is remaining a semi autonomous part of Denmark vs full independence, and if so when.
Shrug. You asked a question I answered it. I made no representation it was easy or low effort.
It’s “secession” by the way not “succession” the latter is what happens when King Mango hands the oval office over to Don Jr after his 3rd term
In which case. Secede.
Well, you did eventually and in spite of the majority of your politicians. Thank god you had an honourable president back then.
But let’s be clear that was a national initiative, are you seriously suggested foreign civilians should be flying in to foment revolution ?
Arbeit macht frei
allow Greenland to enter a COFA with the US
What is a COFA ? The only thing coming up on a search is a “Compliance officer for finance and administration”
I think you have comprehensively missed the point of this post.
This post: “people under threat here’s some things you can do to lower your profile, mitigate risk a little” (positive actions)
Your comment (initial & reply): " how did the US let this happen & why didn’t you fight it, why aren’t you fighting it now"
That assumes a) the people most under threat are the same people who should be/can be fighting it b) that they didnt before the election and c) that the actions you prescribe will be effective.
So. Are your assumptions valid and do they actually add anything by voicing them ?
I know many in the US queer community worked tirelessly to prevent Trump being elected (assumption b) but now they really do need to get as low profile as possible, because there is a pogrom coming. Straight white people can afford to protest, the numbers are there. Minorities in small numbers not so much. Easy pickings.
