@Br0m3x @rysiek Ah, nevermind it works. The problem was that each time I enabled more js in uMatrix, the page was reloaded which somehow caused the unique page identifier in the URL to change. So after enough js was enabled to present the spreadsheet UI, I had to reload the original URL and it worked.
@rysiek @Br0m3x There are 3 layers of nested #JavaScript. I enabled them in Ungoogled Chromium, at which point the blankness was replaced with a spreadsheet. But the spreadsheet cells are empty for me.
@t0k @foreverxml @codeberg It's dicey to recommend #GitLab without explicitly negating gitlab.com (the flagship instance), which is more harmful to freedoms than MS #GitHub. https://git.sdf.org/humanacollaborator/humanacollabora/src/branch/master/gitlab-dot-com.md I would have said "plz move to 3rd party Gitlab CE instances.."
@cevado @yogthos That's why I won't go to #Brazil. I'm waiting until #Bolsanaro is long gone and things are recovered before I'm willing to go there.
@FediFollows @protonmail It's very unlikely that my account would be under attack (the ppl who have my #Protonmail address are not adversarial in the slightest). I do not solve CAPTCHAs & I also will not pressure others to use a platform that pushes CAPTCHAs on them, so I have no choice but to discontinue #protonmail. I often insist that normies reach me via PM but that has become unsustainable.
@protonmail @FediFollows A good alternative is https://github.com/daniel-e/rust-captcha --but the bigger problem is when the #CAPTCHA is used. I'm still blocked by it. If my account has really been under attack for several days, why hasn't #Protonmail sent a notice to the notification email address on my account?
@gemlog @MaximeVende well to be fair, these rockets will be needed when Earth is thoroughly trashed (in part by Amazon)
@tilduke So when people see Bruce Schneier endorsing DDG, they listen, and follow that example. It works because most people don't know who the sell-outs are. Every move DDG makes is to further the manipulation of #socialProof.
@tilduke #DuckDuckGo wants privacy seekers to see other privacy seekers & privacy authority figures referencing #DDG. So DDG does things like donates huge amounts to projects like the #EFF, so that EFF will not only not condemn DDG, but actually recommend DDG. Bruce Schneier is a sell-out because of this. Schneier (a DDG board member) has a DDG search bar on his blog.
@tilduke They want viewers to see people that look like the viewer backing the politician, so that they subconsciously think "people like me like this guy".
@tilduke E.g. notice how campaigning politicians used to have a curtain or flags behind them when they talk? Now notice that in the past ~10 years or so it has changed, so now there are *people* behind the politican w/a lousy view of the back of the politicans head? That's a deliberate abuse of #socialProof. They place a mix of races, genders, ages, and attactiveness behind the politician.
@tilduke That's an oversimplification. If you're familiar with logical fallacies, #socialProof is a covert way of injecting the "bandwagon fallacy" into your head subconsciously. But it's not just about creating an illusion of numbers of people, but more importantly *people like you*.

When a bank blocks Tor, it's bad for environment. Liberals (who tend to care simultaneously for the environment & privacy) are forced into a dilemma in which privacy may prevail over paperless statements. So assessing whether a bank protects the environment is not simply whether they have e-statements.. they must also permit Tor so those e-statements are reachable.
@jumboshrimp I think it's possible, but very tricky. There is a company in Netherlands that analyzes the stock market and places robotic trades. There is only a couple owners and a couple employees. The company has no investors and trades with the company's own capital. It's a money making machine. They aren't billionaires, but the only thing standing in their way is finding good algorithms.
@JohnJClimateMarcher Does Amazon allow employees to use the restroom for 11 min? I've heard warehouse workers pee in bottles to keep their points up.
When someone says "those #Amazon sweat shop workers have a choice whether to work there", my response is "Amazon's anti-competitive practices ensures that there aren't other options". What else should my response to that specific argument should I include?
@krock I know I can probably circumvent what they're doing with a Tor Browser-submitted disposable address assuming they've not gone as far as to reject them, but I walked away from that download purely on principle
@vfrmedia @rysiek @seven I think with cars you often have protectionist warranties. E.g. BMW has some special expensive proprietary mechanic's computer that only authorized service centers are allowed to use, in order to control the service industry which shuts out some mechanics from working on them. I don't know all the particulars but that sort of thing should be addressed by #RightToRepair.
