   Biden isn't running the country.

   It's a small group of unelected bureaucrats who put the American people LAST.

   If Kamala wins, she won't be running the country either.

   Americans are sick of the lying, obfuscation, & lack of transparency.

   We need CHANGE.
   We need Trump-Vance.

   ⬆️ Inside the #Annaberg #Plantation sugar factory ruins.

   That large round structure is a room-sized boiling pot in which they boiled sugarcane juice to make molasses before they were dried and shipped off to the Danish colonizers’ home country.

   It took more than a 100 years for #emancipation in US Virgin Islands after the 1733 #SlaveRevolt

   Proton VPN adds ‘Discreet Icons’ to hide app on Android devices and adds more servers for countries with lack of freedoms

   
   
   One of the stand-out features is ‘Discreet Icon,’ a new setting allowing users to disguise the Proton VPN app icon and make it appear as a weather, notes, or calculator app.

   In countries governed by oppressive authoritarian regimes where many VPN tools, including Proton VPN, are banned, random physical checks performed by law enforcement on people’s devices could get them into trouble if a VPN app is found on their apps list.

   The second highlighted feature is the addition of the ‘Stealth’ anti-censorship protocol to Proton VPN’s Windows client. This protocol allows users to disguise VPN traffic as regular internet traffic. Previously, the protocol was available on iOS, macOS, and Android.

   Proton VPN will start providing new servers in the twelve countries at the bottom of the Freedom House Index and Democracy Index lists, where people need a trustworthy VPN more urgently. These countries are Afghanistan, Bahrain, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Yemen.

   Interestingly, the servers are not situated inside these countries, but in neighbouring countries, and simulates an IP address of the target country.

   It’s clear that Proton’s philosophy is quite divergent from Google’s philosophy. Google may provide services for “free” but it is using its users’ information to serve adverts and working with advertisers. Proton takes the opposite path by charging users for the services, but then providing them with privacy and not working with advertisers. It is good to see, though, that Proton is still providing a pretty robust free VPN service to users (whilst I think Google just recently discontinued their VPN service).

   The thing to remember is that privacy does not go hand in hand with free services, as someone has to pay the bills or donate the time/resources.

   I just ripped a mp3 using a YouTube downloader of some random guy's video copy of a song because the Compact Disc I bought at Amoeba Records on Haight in 2001 that I used the Burn button in iTunes in 2003 to save to my computer and later on used iTunes Match which promised I could listen to all my music forever in the cloud today shows up in my library as unavailable in my country.

   It's 2024 and you have to tap into 30 years of l33t hax0r warez knowledge just to add music to your iMovie clip.

   It's remarkable that one of the two bits of "good" news that Sunak is building his election on is he's made the country so unattractive to the outside that legal immigration has fallen. When immigrants bring more to the country.

   It's insane.

   Rishi Sunak’s election call means he thought the worst was yet to come

   Electoral politics in the US right now is about choose your opponent, not choose your player. We lost our opportunity to play choose your player via poor ballot design in South Florida and a compromised SCOTUS.

   Right now you have only ONE job in the voting booth: choosing the candidate with an actual chance of winning who isn’t going to worsen the climate catastrophe, destroy public education, abolish unions, destroy LGBTQ lives and arm every Nazi in the country.

   It’s not a hard choice.
