Gmail and other big email services spy on you; is email censorship next?

Don't let them. Host your own email. My PERMANENT address is larry @ sanger.io. Cool, no?

How? Don't worry. It's not that hard! You can do this too. See below.

I can't prove that any significant amount of email censorship is happening today, by the way. I doubt there is much, at least not in the U.S. But is there a desire for it? Is it on the horizon? You bet.

There are worries out there. For example:

MailChimp is not above censoring what emails can be sent.

The long-awaited—and let’s face it, really late—Librem 5 Linux smartphone was shipping as of five days ago. This is the so-called Evergreen batch, meaning the biggest bugs are supposed to be gone and the thing is now in mass production. $799.

Press release

Hint to journos: this is big news. It’s shocking that nobody covered the story. It’s a true privacy-respecting alternative to Android and Apple!

What is this wizardry?

No, not magic. Just what happens when your phone runs a real computer operating system instead of a walled garden that deliberately makes communication with your work machine hard.

Ugh. The Ohio House voted 58-30 to limit DeWine's authority to impose a new lockdown. This is bad news because it's just short of what was needed to override DeWine's inevitable veto.

This means that we might well have another lockdown.

beaconjournal.com/story/news/pol…
So, Gov. @MikeDeWine, are you really going to shut down (and inevitably kill many) state businesses over the will of an overwhelming majority of the people and their reps?

Doesn't that constitute tyranny, especially when you aren't even negotiating with legislators?

Bully.
Someone kindly pointed out to me my mistake. I thought 98 votes were accounted for. No. 88 votes were accounted for, meaning 11 people didn't vote. D'oh!

58/88 = 65.9%

That's well over the 3/5 majority needed to be veto-proof. Looks like we win after all!

🚨 OHIOANS! 🚨
Please urge your #OHIO STATE HOUSE REP to vote FOR SB 311. The Senate passed it with a veto-proof vote (20-13). The House must do the same!

Call NOW. The vote is this afternoon. Crash their phone system! Find your rep's phone number here: ohiohouse.gov/members/distri…
Share this @ your representative.

Hi Rep. @realJeffLaRe—me again. Hoping you vote the right way this afternoon. Enough is enough with the out-of-control technocracy, I say. Back to government by our elected representatives!
Notice, there are 99 reps in the House.
61 of them are Republicans, 38 are Democrats:

It requires 60 votes in the Ohio House to override the governor's veto:
ballotpedia.org/Veto_overrides…

This will be a nail-biter.

To #Ohio Gov. @MikeDeWine: I'm Dr. Larry Sanger, Wikipedia co-founder. I'm an Ohioan.

1/ I'm beyond being polite. I demand that you clarify the precise conditions under which all our freedoms will be restored. It's sickening I must ask this.

When will we be free again?

Answer!
2/ The removal of *basic civil rights* without adequate explanation or any indication of when it will end is tyrannical.

Are death rates increasing? No. The number of "confirmed" cases is, but the death rate is doing a random walk around levels reached last May.
3/ I'm not denying there is a deadly virus, that it is an epidemic, or that it is growing right now.

I am denying that it warrants silence on protecting our basic civil rights and liberties as Americans. I repudiate the notion of a "new normal." Why the silence? Clarify!

1/ We're undergoing the Great Reset. We're about to "Build Back Better," says Klaus Schwab. Watch!


Sure, I'm willing to entertain the other explanation of the insane lockdowns, masking, movement restrictions, mandatory vaccine threats, etc., but...
2/ ...no one is making that case persuasively. How is it supposed to work? That *all* of these global elites just magically happened to find themselves on the same page, pushing for a program in which they say the same things, do the same things, and restrict the same liberties?
3/ Utter nonsense. No. Our leaders at the national and regional levels are obviously coordinating among themselves. I mean, it's not a conspiracy theory for an obvious reason: they're not doing it secretly!

It would be nice if we could believe Covid-19 were *that* devastating.

D.C. Antifa/BLM violence thread. Just things that popped up in my feed this evening. Horrifying.

I stayed at the Willard Hotel last year. Livestream:

This man was a victim of both serious, bloody assault and theft.
Harassment and intimidation.
