I think Mullvad was being used for a lot of CSAM torrenting, and they didn’t like that. They got tired of regular users complaining of being blocked everywhere, and Interpol knocking on their door.
Totally agree but I’m fine with them choosing protonvpn as the best overall out of that list. I like proton and have used them for years. But, the fact that Mullvad wasn’t in their list at all is suspect.
Russia's prominent jailed opposition figure Alexei Navalny has lost an appeal against a nine-year prison term, but not before launching a scathing attack on the war in Ukraine.Condemning Vladimir Putin's war as stupid, he said it was "like your courts, built entirely on lies".
"You will suffer a historic defeat in this stupid war that you started. It has no purpose or meaning. Why are we fighting a war?" he said.
Not just that, but you also have things like MRI, CT, and PET imaging in the medical world that would suddenly not need liquid helium and nitrogen for operation. Scientific instruments like NMR and high resolution FT-MS machines will stop using all the liquid helium and nitrogen. It will save are rapidly disappearing helium resources and allow for that to be used for other things.
Then there is mass transit that can be developed. The list goes on.
I wasn’t dunking on you once being a Reagan republican, my comment was towards your statement of “the GOP acting like this is blowing my mind.” And yes, we are allowed to learn and grow. That is a good thing that should happen. But, and we’re going to disagree here, it is definitely the natural progression. The southern strategy gave us so much craptastic politics, but number one in that is courting the lowest denominator in the hateful south. Breeding that throughout the party and filling it with the cocaine fueled parties of the ‘70s and ‘80s. This is the shit that created Limbah, Gingrich and the rest. The Koch family had been feeding and fomenting everything wrong with where we are before Reagan and still use Nixon and Reagan to this day as starting points for enshittification of our country. As a kid when Reagan was elected and an “adult” when he left office, I could tell where this bs was going. When you court people based on their worst qualities, you can only go down from there.
