I don't think you need "evidence of freedom restrictions" if if in 7 years he was allegedly (!) seen in person by 3 three people.

I'd rather ask for evidence for lack of restrictions, and so far there haven't been any. I don't think what we did see can be interpreted as anything else than carefully orchestrated evidence that he's still alive.

Once again: there's literally no evidence he wrote even a single word of the public opinions attributed to "Snowden" since 2014.

"pressured to consent"

@v0lta Vultr or Hetzner, the latter has a bit of 2000's management interface but cheapest.

@rochelimit

You don't know if he has residency, or an apartment on the edge of Moscow. Nobody knows that. Nobody was there, nobody has seen his residence card, nobody actually talked to Snowden other than on Skype and I think one journalist in an obscure hotel room.

Dostosowana do przeciętnego odbiorcy 🤷 Przy okazji piękna manipulacja w tekście na samym dole - w 2020 roku, pomimo lockdownów i ograniczeń w podróżach, zginęło 1140 osób i Angora uważa, że to super, bo rok wcześniej zginęło 10% więcej.

Russian media saw Snowden in Yasenevo back in 2014. Yasenevo is GRU headquarters, not FSB. Also if he indeed has "freedom of movement", he hasn't been using it too much - he was never saw in any public place, never met with journalists or fans, basically there's no evidence of him actually being free to do anything. Regarding your mention of "policy of never interviewing for Russian media", there's also no evidence of him having freedom to any policy.

According to a new IEA study, mining doesn't undermine EV potential for reducing CO2 emissions. EVs require a lot of mined materials but lifecycle emissions are just 50% of gasoline cars, and can go down to 25% if manufacturing is powered by low carbon energy.

@ademalsasa Same here, Fidonet was the first for me. A few years later I discovered Usenet but only when I joined university, because we had Internet there - while Fidonet was operating 100% without Internet, based on PCs with modems dialing each other.

Oops I did it again…

A little warning banner showing up, reminding you what Apple decided they should do. I guess that will stick around a bit longer than the hype around the problem.

🇬🇧 "Our elite schools foster emotional austerity and fierce clique loyalty. Here a privately educated writer of the prime minister’s generation reveals the lasting damage public schools do"

, living in GRU safe house in Russia, who just deployed countrywide deep-packet inspection censorship and surveillance, quoted in Russia Today, a propaganda outlet, is certainly the authority to speak on "insulting privacy" 🤦‍♂️

Screeching voices of the minority? Really? Wow #Apple, I know that was an internal memo, but you have to have known it was going to get released publicly. Not good PR. Very not good PR. Apple likes to pound on its chest and tell us all how privacy conscious they are, but are they really when the next thing they do scan all of the photos on your phone and verbally attack anybody who is concerned about the privacy aspects of such a program?
