Don't use uTorrent. It's a scam.

Finnish police said on Thursday they had launched a criminal investigation into suspected breaches of environmental law at the construction site of a planned Google data centre in northern Finland.

Ok, ok, hold your horses.

I mean it. Every little community would have to share a limited place. At first, everybody tried to be stronger than the other. But after only two days. Osu teached that what matters is not the drawing, it is the general shape. Then bigger communities started to accept, protect and defend little ones. Knowing, they will defend themselves and so yourself too.

The amount of funny politics was awesome.

I was from the fuck spez movement. A big black ugly FUCK SPEZ. To have accepted a lot of different community inside us send a more beautiful message. Every communities united to make a giant FUCK SPEZ.

i learned later that the anarchy flag is black so everyone is in them.

Union is strength, Diversity is happiness and creativity. both are true ;)

I think you could add to this. I am not in the mental state to develop it better but it made me smile xD

I hope you find it funny too ;)

Andy Yen's values are incompatible with Proton's mission. He advocates for poor security practices, supports fascists, and he verbally abuses his subordinates. As such, I can no longer in good conscience continue to financially support a company with such terrible leadership.

Unfortunately for me, my subscription just renewed last month on a multi year plan, but it does give me time to browse for and experiment with alternatives.

If you're able, I encourage you to do the same and cite Andy Yen as the driving factor for your decision. We can't let these tech bro fascists destroy what little semblance of privacy we have left.

Spoiler alert, I'm trying to donate a kidney to a close friend who's been on dialysis for a few years. Cancer to out both kidneys and he's finally healthy enough for a transfer.

If you or a loved one has donated their kidney I'd love to know more.

As far as I know I've done all the testing and all but one was passed with flying colors. At my age I feel a bit of pride being healthy enough to donate. My BP was a bit high during the testing day, which hasn't been a problem before. I have an all day monitor coming in the mail just to be sure.

My family and friends have been along this journey with me and I hadn't planned to say anything to anyone else, particularly here. Some people do good to brag and I don't want to be like that. I do enjoy the positive attention when I do good so for me it's a real fear it'll become an ego thing.

What changed my mind and why I'm here asking it's below email from my daughter. She's 27 and the mother of my only granddaughter.

"I don’t really have questions about the process I have concerns and feelings.

I understand the medical system will do the best they can but that doesn’t mean things can’t still happen and that’s my worry.

Selfishly I think “what if something happens?” “what if I loose the person I consider my support system?” “what if any of us get less time with you?” “what if this doesn’t help?” “What if Kevin isn’t appreciative?” “What if you have other problems down the line?” The “what ifs” are scary.

There are also some feelings towards Kevin and I am conflicted with them, he’s never don’t anything to me or to deserve a bad reputation but I hold a level of animosity for threatening my stability. It took my a few conversations with my therapist to understand why I was even upset at him and it’s because he’s putting something I care deeply about at risk. Even if it’s for a good reason.

I am also conflicted because the medical side of me knows he deserves the help just as much as anyone, it’s not about him receiving the help it’s about the help coming from MY dad. It’s hard for me.

I’ve held off saying anything because I know nothing I will say can change the decision and I’m not sure that’s what I really want, I think I just wish it didn’t have to be you that went under the knife."

So those who have been through this at some point, how you navigate instances like this would be helpful to read. Not the choice you made, that's mine to make, but your reasoning and thoughts as you went through this.

At the meetings and testing with all the doctors including the surgeon I had a ton of questions about my life after surgery. I never once bothered to ask my risk of death and what happens if suddenly I'm at risk during the surgery.

I'm meeting with my transplant advocate today, those who don't know this is someone outside of the rest of the organization to make sure I'm taken care of and can get out at any point. So I'll talk to her about my new questions, she won't have answers but she'll get meetings set with those who do for me.

When I first read my daughter email my initial thought was to reply "won't worry, I'll be fine" and placate her. She has always been the worry wart of family. But I decided to sleep on it and I thought before I finalize what I'm thinking it's best to go outside of my family and standard support groups and outside of the medical system that's helping me through this and ask strangers on the internet that their experience has been like.

Thank you and I look forward to reading your comments and talking with you! Now I'm going to try to go back to sleep.

Live torrents for some old movies and pretty hard to find. I thought about somehow extracting .m3u8 but that didn't worked out. Those sits are getting better at hiding real stream URL. Any way to easy do it or something?

This is what class solidarity looks like.

• Pan-Arctic Cable: The EU will support secure, resilient submarine cable connectivity linking Greenland directly to Europe, with potential future extensions towards Canada and Japan. This project builds on existing EU investments and international digital partnerships.

• IRIS² Arctic Connectivity: Developed by the EU, IRIS² will provide secure satellite connectivity for government communications, with additional satellites planned to expand coverage across the Arctic in cooperation with EU countries and partners.

• EU Polar Research Hub : A new EU Polar Research Hub will strengthen the link between science and policy. By reinforcing the European Polar Coordination Office, it will better connect research, observation and scientific infrastructure, improve access to research resources and strengthen coordination including with Indigenous Peoples.

In my small town fuel costs haven’t directly affected me too much. I walk to work anyway and we tend to go through one tank of fuel every three weeks. I feel for people who are dependent on commuting long distances via car though, especially through traffic.

I don’t see any return to the old prices being likely as globally we’ve been seeing systematic destruction of petrol production infrastructure in the Middle East and Russia, squeezing supply, and the wars that caused the destruction are only continuing. I think this represents a substantial economic motivation to support a few long term changes in NZ:

• As we are already seeing, people will purchase less petrol and seek alternatives such as public transport;
• Governments will adopt policies to support electrification of transport, logistics, agriculture, and industry (solar is already getting bipartisan support)
• Private businesses will make their own investments into electric infrastructure as it becomes more cost-effective for them to do so compared to running eg. diesel trucks or generators or boilers, or a fleet of petrol cars.
• single-use plastics made from petroleum products will become rare, and whichever materials scientists and chemical engineers can produce good replacements will have a product that will make millions.

As a fellow survivor of the Covid shenanigans I can also see this becoming a political shitshow of the highest order, with those opposed to change doing their best to claim that everything is fine and that everything should continue as it was.
