Been there like 5x over the last few years. My favourite is the Radio Hut where you can actually meet people doing long distance transmissions
И средняя плата $9.97/час 😂
"Earth is the only planet known to contain plate tectonics, and recent research has suggested that tectonics may help sustain life by delivering a steady stream of nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorus, to the surface. And yet researchers aren’t sure what causes plate tectonic movement, let alone the blobs."
The whole article is very interesting but this!
"Twice a day, Earth’s crust rises and falls with the tides. Although we’re more familiar with ocean tides, the solid Earth experiences the same forces as our oceans. As the Sun and the Moon pull on Earth, the entire planet flexes and stretches. In some places, the surface of Earth rises and falls by as much as 40 centimeters."

re "material conditions":
The anarchist criticism of Marxism is not that it fails. Changing the world is extremely hard, regardless of who you are, and you can absolutely find yourself in an impossible position.
The criticism is that it results in tyranny upon us. Us, who it claims to represent the interests of.
"A Dutch public broadcaster got rid of targeted digital ads—and its revenues went up"
"the main Dutch public broadcaster… found that ads served to users who opted out of cookies were bringing in as much or more money as ads served to users who opted in."
"The results were so strong that as of January 2020, NPO simply got rid of advertising cookies altogether…"

We told @EU_Competition about our concerns regarding the Google/Fitbit merger. Good news: they have not given them a green light 🚦and are investigating them further 🧐. They have until Dec 9th to make a decision so follow our campaign here: https://privacyinternational.org/campaigns/googlefitbit-merger-not-our-watch
"NSA warns that mobile device location services constantly compromise snoops and soldiers.
"It might be best not to ask how the NSA knows this and why it advises most mitigations don’t help."

Now, dumping everything into a "fascist" bucket makes completely no sense today granted that for example USSR was initially an ally of Germany (infamous Molotov's 1939 speech) and then fought it.
In the 30's USA you had too both clearly right-wing racists and eugenicists like Lothrop Stoddard, and left-wing ones, like Margaret Sanger.
This only demonstrates how silly today is the left vs right dichotomy. Franco regime in Spain was clearly conservative and authoritarian but German national socialism ("Nazism") had both conservative and socialist postulates in its program ("25 NSDAP postulates"), and USSR was clearly socialist, with all three being hell of a totalitarian oppression.
Did they actually get the details of your relatives correct? Just wondering how accurately have they penetrated your social network?
An attempt was made yesterday to scam me into buying iTunes gift cards by someone pretending to be a relative. I think it might be helpful for folks to see and read how they operate, so I'm pasting the full conversation here: https://pastebin.com/2hH1bNB6
This scam involved hacking a primary Email account, sending an Email with a cunningly disguised reply-to (an "o" changed to a "0" in the address), and then pretending to be in distress.
And remember, if someone you know needs money, call them.
Oilrig (APT34) has become the first publicly known APT to incorporate the DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) protocol in its attacks.
It might make sense to block DoH / DoT network-wide:
And only allow the DNS/DoH that is supposed to be allowed on your network.
"These are some of the oldest groups on Usenet, and the depth & breadth of the historical material that has just disappeared from the internet, on two seminal programming languages, is huge and highly damaging. These are the history and collective memories of two communities that are being expunged, and it's not great, since there is no other comprehensive archive after Google's purchase of Dejanews around 20 years ago." 😳
