Proton mail, who claim they don't keep IPs, have handed the IPs of climate activists over to the French police. The activists had their homes searched and were arrested.
So the only way Protonmail is secure is if you use a VPN

No, your cryptocurrency cannot work
Explaining in understandable terms why Bitcoin uses so much power, why all these supposed 'alternatives' cannot fix the problem, how other coins are a scam, and how proof-of-stake is ultimately a dead end too.

Cyberia has a physical space in Minneapolis! We'll be building it out over the next couple of months. As always, the best way to talk to us is via our matrix, but enjoy the faq below!

Also, huge thanks to @forestjohnson and @j3s for really driving this home. It takes a village, but this has been a long time coming, and without their dedication, it wouldn't have happened. Can't wait to help build the new place! 💙

Though Surveillance Capitalism is a global phenomenon and a universal term, it is interpreted differently by people from different regions.
Americans see this mostly as a monopoly/anti-trust problem.
Europeans are calling it digital feudalism.
The once-colonized global south sees it as digital colonialism.
All of these interpretations are not only simultaneously true but also demonstrate that this issue is multi-faceted.

The comrades at @ruangrupa_ruru are live shortly, tune in to a nice programme and also help load test their self-managed infrastructure 👌
https://tv.lumbung.space/w/d52dacb5-9853-4241-8a4e-b182eca0f835
We're running this infrastructure on @coopcloud configurations which are available for all to reuse which aligns with the lumbung model.
Autonomic is proud to be supporting this much needed intervention into reclaiming digital infrastructure.

Texas politics, abortion
Yo, there's some real fucked up restrictions that went into place. You might know someone who could benefit from you (yes, YOU) having the substances mentioned here on-hand.
Remember that at six weeks, most people still don't know they're pregnant.

twitch abuse
Twitch Streamers are taking Today off to Protest Hate Raids and Abuse
Twitch streamers boycott the platform to raise awareness for marginalized voices
Twitch streamers are on strike to protest inaction over abuse
These are three different things. 
Protesting bad user behavior, protesting the refusal to listen to complaints about it, protesting against refusal to take action.
By the time you get all three, stuff is really bad and has been really bad for a long time.

So we're not crossing picket lines on Sept 1st at Twitch, right folks?
Support marginalized Twitch streamers and do not interact with Twitch on Sept 1st. This is to raise awareness for the countless cases of racist, homophobic and transphobic attacks on a platform that has falsely promised improvement.
Here’s Why Black and LGBTQ+ Gamers Are Taking #ADayOffTwitch | them.

Canadians, is your workplace or organization recognizing September 30th, the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation?
If yes, what specifically are you doing?
If no, have you asked your employer why not?
(If Canada lowered its flag for a day, for every child known to have died at your residential schools, the flag would not raise for 18 years.)
(Boosts encouraged.)

What term best describes when software corps pull features from their free version and force you to pay for them? Especially the case where they take community contributions and put them behind a paywall? "Treehousing" evokes the idea of building a treehouse together but when youre down below, they pull up the ladder on you. "Gangplanking" is perhaps more self-describing ;) other ideas welcome! inspired by @dumpsterqueer and @handle
