None, because they don’t exist.

Linux distros have to ship all these drivers because otherwise someone would try that distro and say “nothing works, this sucks” if they had to go hunt for drivers to install. Windows computers really are the same way, but they’re almost always preconfigured.

1. I find it useful for work (I am a software developer/tester).
2. I think it’s about as good as it’s ever going to get.
3. I believe it is not ever going to be profitable and the benefits are not worth reopening nuclear and coal power plants.
4. If US courts rule that training AI with copyrighted materials is fair use, then I will probably stop paying for content and start pirating it again.

It is not normal. It’s fine that you do it.

There’s a song about it.

And I wanna conquer the world

Give all the idiots a brand new religion

Put an end to poverty, uncleanliness, and toil

Promote equality in all of my decisions

I want to conquer the world

Expose the culprits and feed 'em to the children

Do away with air pollution, and then I’ll save the whales

We’ll have peace on Earth and global communion

I’ve been to the USVI and you do go through customs. It’s a separate customs zone.

My contention is that the DOJ (who oversees the marshals) would order them to ignore the bench warrant.

Courts have the power to deputize whomever they choose. If they were to deputize, for instance, a state police officer because the marshalls wouldn’t carry out their orders, my belief is that no deputized agent would arrest someone for contempt if some LEO under federal control (FBI, the marshalls, capitol police, etc.) was protecting the person held in contempt. You will not get two sets of cops shooting at each other over this.

“How many divisions has the Supreme Court?”

Even of a judge deputized someone to arrest an executive branch officer, it’s unlikely to actually happen. It always ends in who has bigger guns and that’s going to be the FBI, the Marshalls, or the secret service. No deputy trying to arrest someone on a bench warrant is going to get into a confrontation with a fellow LEO protecting said arrestee.

Not to mention Rand was an objectivist, not a libertarian.

You can follow users using Mastodon (I follow myself here from Mastodon). Not sure about other Fedi software.

Good call. The greenest purchase you can make is fixing the thing you already own.

You can’t put terms of service on a web page and bind people to it. Otherwise I could put up a site somewhere and say everyone who reads this owes me a dollar.

The terms are only enforceable when they are presented to the user before they use the software. My copy of Librewolf doesn’t present any terms to me so I am not bound by anything other than the redistribution license.

IANAL but all this is pretty common sense. You can’t add terms by posting them where the user wouldn’t see them. And Librewolf explains very clearly that it is not Firefox and is not a Mozilla product.

Reminds me of the Rule of Goats:

If you fuck a goat ironically, you’re still fucking a goat. Same goes with ironic Hitler salutes.

Yes, by law. Of course the business will abide by federal law before state law because federal law is supreme.

It’s a VPN within a VPN. So all your traffic over the Mullvad VPN connection has a VPN within it going to Proton (but only for Firefox).

To answer the questions directly:

1. Yes, but not exactly. Everything goes through Mullvad, but Firefox goes through Proton going through Mullvad.
2. No, they’ll just see the Proton information.
3. It slows down your connection! That’s a lot more extra hops. Practically…I suppose if the “inner VPN” was necessary to connect to a specific host (like a work VPN) then it could be useful. For example you use Mullvad on your router, but your work laptop uses a VPN to connect to resources needed to do your work. Other than that I can’t see why you’d need to use 2 at the same time.

“I have to see a man about a horse.”

It means you’re going to the bathroom.

It doesn’t. Might have been New Brunswick. Or I just made it up somehow. I can’t remember where I saw it.

My understanding is that some province is charging double on US commercial trucks that cross the border. Nova Scotia?

It’s a great idea, I agree. But people have to realize that a good 40% of the country thinks that holding undocumented immigrants in a military prison indefinitely is hella balls-to-the-fucking-wall awesome. These people are not interested in striking and most of the 60% left over are worried they’ll get fired tomorrow if they don’t show up to work.

I invite you to imagine a state or local prosecutor indicting a member of the armed forces for carrying out an order given by a superior.
