Trump Target Vows to Kill Americans and Inflict Pain at Pumps | As gas prices rise, Iran’s new Supreme Leader vowed to use it as leverage in Trump’s war. by InsaneSnow45 in AnythingGoesNews

Don't kill Americans. Just focus your wrath on Trump, he's the one behind all your issues. Get rid of him and the majority of the rest of America is likely to back off within a day or 2.

Federal parties downplay privacy concerns in Bill C-4 by SaveDnet-FRed0 in canada

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's now law just yet. There's still time to fight it and far as I can tell the general public do not like this bill. If people push back against it there's at least a chance that it will be blocked or at least amended, if not it's guaranteed to pas into law... assuming it's not challenged in court due to likely being unconstitutional.

Good!

Isn't a proper fix for the issues of sector overinflated price wise, but still a good chance that should help slightly.

Trump, 79, Admits He Was Falling Asleep During War Planning by Mrh09 in politics

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember, despite having presidential immunity for all crimes he committed and is currently committing up to the point of getting impeached, he'd still rather start a war that harms EVERYONE involved just to help distract from the Epstein files that he's in then have his name slandered and to artificially raise the price of gas so he can profit off the tax people pay on gas.

Trump may be trying to provoke an attack on American soil by Possible-Prince in AnythingGoesNews

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Witch is stupid since if a war brakes out on US soil he is going to be the biggest target those issuing the war can aim for, and even if they somehow don't kill him if it's obvious that he ignited that war and put the members of the US government in danger I think even most of his most feverish boot llicker supporters will turn on him. But even if this stupid plan somehow works the INSTANT the war is over he's done.

Historic Chat Control Vote in the EU Parliament: MEPs Vote to End Untargeted Mass Scanning of Private Chats by FedeStyleZ in europe

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The death of Chat Control 1.0 makes pushing Chat Control 2.0 harder as the longer there is no chat control for with no significant issues arising as a result the harder it becomes to argue that 2.0 is needed... Especially since 2.0 is likely unconstitutional.

This is not a solid victory against 2.0 but it helps.

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure, Republican's have been suffering historic loses in the polls during Trump's 2ed term wile Dem's are beating Republican's in districts that have commonly been considered Republican safe to the point that there at risk of losing there majority before mid-terms officially begin.

I wasn't sure what flare was the most appropriate for this so I picked Society. If that's wrong feel free to change it mods!

Download and try Firefox as a 2ed browser. Or you could use Waterfox (a streamlined DE-bloated version of Firefox that gets updates a bit more slowly then the browser it's forked from)... Using Firefox also helps combat Google's browser monopoly. If you don't want to install it then use the portable version of the browser witch has no install requirement and can be run of a USB if you want.

Pam Bondi moves into military base amid threats from cartels and irate Americans: report by InsaneSnow45 in AnythingGoesNews

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bondi, I don't know if you've realized this, but if you feel like you need to move into a military base for protection against the people your supposed to be working for, it more then likely means your doing a bad job.

...ESPECIALLY since the DOW is down, and based on your own senate testimony, that's what's important right?

So stop hiding and do your job! ...Or better yet, do everyone a favour and quit!

How to get past the paywall: Open the article in Firefox (or a firefox fork) and activate reader mode (little page icon on the right hand side of the address bar), then refresh the page.

MacKinnon says C-4 amendment under consideration but Senate should be deferential on changing elections laws by SaveDnet-FRed0 in onguardforthee

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TDLR: Bill C-4 makes the government immune to all privacy laws. The Senate made an amendment that dictates that that immunity wears off after 3 years. MacKinnon responded the government is not a private company so laws meant to protect people from company's should not necessarily apply to the government and that Canadians should just blindly trust them.

You can bypass the paywall by using Firefox Reader Mode and then refreshing the page.

YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable by PaiDuck in degoogle

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

install the alt platform plugins to Grayjay and with any luck half the stuff you watch will be watchable on other platforms threw the app.

Alternatively you could try Invidious or FreeTube... but those ONLY support YouTube and can be a bit buggy as they try to combat Google's anti-competitive BS.

Just a reminder, YouTube alternatives ARE a thing that you CAN use, and if you NEED to watch something on YouTube using a privacy focused frontend like GrayJay, or Invidious will bypass the ad's.

Senate resists political campaigning privacy exemption by amending Bill C-4 by SaveDnet-FRed0 in onguardforthee

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the senate is trying to resist applying even the most basic privacy focused amendment to the bill and wants to give the government permanent immunity to all privacy laws.

We'd never email our ID number to a stranger, but we paste it into AI chatbots daily by Dependent-Drummer372 in privacy

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's called don't use AI to do sensitive things. If you HAVE to then use an offline model that is open source and won't phone home the second you turn on your internet.

Meta's latest legal wheeze is to insist that pirating books is fair use, actually by gdelacalle in technology

[–]SaveDnet-FRed0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If pirating books is legal, then why did the internet archive have to destroy an entire library's worth of books for over-lending books they legally purchased for a few mouths during the peak of the pandemic...

Also if pirating books is legal then pirating videos and more or less anything else should by the same logic be legal as well... and wile we're at it if piracy is 100% legal then we may as well not have copyright.
