@eloquence @cnx BTW, this article is good but misses an important point: https://web.archive.org/web/freedom.press/training/protonmail-pro/ Harlo Holmes warns that malicious js could compromise users but gives no remedy to that. She should suggest #ElectronMail & #Hydroxide as ways to avoid on-the-fly javascript.

@cnx @eloquence Indeed it's a bit disturbing that #FreedonOfThePressFoundation uses #Cloudflare. The site also sends people to another (more hostile) Cloudflare site (creator-spring) to buy t-shirts, which then blocks Tor users. Visiting via archive.org is just a blank page which further pressures people to access via CF. CF gets the payment details of FPF supporters. Not good.

Dear #EFF, I have to say I'm not bothered by patent trolling users of #Google's #reCAPTCHA. It's bad on bad as far as I'm concerned. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/captcha-patent-all-american-nightmare

@Gina @ghostdancer @edavies But indeed, the #covid19 travel restrictions to #NewZealand are no joke: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/about-us/covid-19/border-closures-and-exceptions/entry-to-new-zealand/critical-purpose-reasons-you-can-travel-to-new-zealand It seems if you are vaccinated, test negative, and are willing to quarantine there is still no way for most ppl with no history in NZ to enter.

@edavies @ghostdancer @Gina There it is: https://www.careers.govt.nz/job-hunting/whats-happening-in-the-job-market/jobs-in-skill-shortage/ & https://skillshortages.immigration.govt.nz/

@Gina @ghostdancer @edavies although I also vaguely recall a list of careers that were in short supply which eased immigration, and the IT sector was on that list.

@edavies @ghostdancer @Gina yeah i thought it might be. I recall looking at the point system several years ago and it looked like i fell short of the requirement. I guess that's way wealthy ppl like Peter Thiel are spending lots of money to get NZ citizenship.

@altlink @werwolf @Albright and https://git.nogafam.es/deCloudflare/deCloudflare

@Albright @werwolf I highly recommend following @altlink. That's an automated service that will follow you back, & detect whenever you inadvertently post a #Cloudflare URL. It will then DM you w/a non-CF replacement URL. For some more background on Cloudflare wrongdoing, I suggest these articles: https://git.disroot.org/cyberMonk/liberethos_paradigm/src/branch/master/rap_sheets/cloudflare.md

@werwolf @Albright Indeed werwolf. Most #Cloudflare sites are configured as ticotimes, which exclusively discriminates against some classes of ppl (e.g. some Tor users & those whose ISP uses #CGNAT [often in impoverised areas]). CF's #hCAPTCHA also discriminates against the disabled. Since CF sites are not open to the general public, it's not good to share CF sites in a msg that is open to the public.

@Gina @ghostdancer BTW, I suspect #NewZealand would also be a good choice since their seasons are inverted from your hemisphere, and also they have the #covid19 thing well under control.

@ghostdancer @Gina That article is quite interesting and I'm glad you posted it, but I have to say it goes to a #Cloudflare-jailed exclusive #walledGarden. This is a better link to share: https://www.bizlatinhub.com/moving-to-costa-rica/ or http://web.archive.org/web/20210816035705/ticotimes.net/2021/08/11/costa-rica-signs-law-to-attract-digital-nomads

@Br0m3x It's bizarre that Obama would be dragged into that because that was propaganda for the public. Internal documents being supplied to GW Bush (from Rumsfeld iirc) contained references along the lines of God being on his side, which is far more noteworthy because it's not propaganda but rather a statement of their own beliefs.

@Br0m3x Using Obama's middle name “Hussein” is almost always a red flag that you got your news from a nutty right-wing source that tries to maintain the widespread misconception that Obama is muslim. When you do that, your message is instantly discredited by those who are aware of that particular smear campaign. The only thing that clip shows is that propaganda is an important war tool

@InceptionState @Br0m3x G W Bush gets credit for torture. In any case, notice that some hot-head used the term /occupation/ in Wikipedia, but it was corrected.

@Br0m3x @InceptionState Obama is the best US president in recent history & Trump is clearly the worst. But Obama had flaws- one of which was ordering more drone strikes than any other president in history. Invasions are usually pushed by pre-Trump US republicans. But this is all irrelevant to the emotionally driven misuse of the term “occupation”.

@InceptionState @Br0m3x Your post shows you're extremely emotional, and the emotion has gotten the better of your judgement of facts.

@Br0m3x @InceptionState We already agreed that the US invaded Afghanistan. Nothing else you've mentioned is relevant to your incorrect usage of the term “occupation”. You don't know what it means. Occupation is what you have in Israeli-occupied Palestine. The US is /assisting/ Israel, but the control over Palestine comes under the Israeli flag -- and that matters, as it does with Afghanistan.

@InceptionState @Br0m3x You sound like a Trump supporter. Claiming the election was stolen, as well as the election of Karzai's successors, because you don't like the result. This is really grasping at straws in attempt to further the nonsense that the US “occupied” Afghanistan for 20 years.
