While some services support payment in crypto, be advised that there's no such thing as complete privacy on the internet.

Three letter agencies will routinely run TOR exit nodes and monitor traffic. You can be profiled merely on your browser configuration and usage behavior (eg mostly posts during daytime in specific country), sentence analysis and words you use. A determined government actor with unlimited resources will be able to track you down sooner or later. They did find Silk Road creators, albeit it took them years.

That being said, tails + tor is a good option. Maybe over VPN so your ISP can't see you're running tor. Run it from USB if possible, that can be quickly discarded. If possible, do not use the computer for anything else - hardware can be fingerprinted. Use a static site generator (such as Hugo). Host your blog on IPFS. Try not to have predictable patterns / times when posting. Run your text through a local LLM to change the words and sentences.

If you opt for a commercial service, find one that accepts payments in Monero, which is completely private.

Other than that - good luck.

Yeah. Nightmare fuel.

It didn't. It's a movie. They don't care.

Any universe? I'd like to be Bruce Wayne. Not Batman. Bruce.

This is basically an issue only if you live in a two-party winner-takes-all country. By redrawing the maps you ensure that in most districts your preferred party wins.

Most countries do not function like this.

Because of secondary smoke. If you drink or gamble, that does not affect people around you.

Smoking always does.

Well, that's just an added bonus. Killing two birds with one stone and all.

I'm not saying I'm against the ban - I actually am for it. I'm just saying that if it was good enough for older people to make an informed decision, why are we denying only the younger ones that right.

If we truly wanted to fix things, we should ban it for everybody. Not at some arbitrary age cut-off.

Last I checked, secondary smoke does not respect age limits.

Not only games. Goes for all electronics as well.

Sick of supporting your 'old phones'? You're required by law to disclose all binary blobs as source code to let somebody else pick it up the slack.

Feeling like bricking old Kindles? Fine, but users must be able to install alternative OS on your old device.

Not providing software updates for your TV anymore after you removed features? That's your right, but so is the right of the effing device owner to install something else on it.

And it's not just consumer electronics. (caugh John Deere caugh).

It's the same reason that Age Gating is popping up all over the world.

It's because fuck young people, that's why. I got mine, I don't care about you.

I don't know what's "short distance" for you, but a flight from Zagreb to Amsterdam takes about 2 hours.

Using public transportation on the same route is 20+ hours at best and you need to switch between bus and train four times. Driving is 10+ hours.

Maybe, just maybe, we should stop immediately providing kerosine to private jets first? And droping subsidies for jet fuel and financing public transport instead?

Can confirm. I can speak Slovenian and always wondered why others can't understand sperm whales.
