  Agreed, the beginning of the end of involuntary-only censorship happened when Tiktok got popular. The older generations try to find the limits of allowable content on platforms (within reason) but the younger ones effectively self-castrate everything they post everywhere. And it’s because one app owned by a Chinese company is a bit strict about it. It’s disappointing.

  In theory it’s supposed to be unconstitutional to use FLIR on a house without a warrant to find evidence. In practice though, I’m sure they can easily ruin someone’s life for a while based off of “heat signatures”. This isn’t even mentioning what they could get away with if the Feds are involved. Who even knows anymore?

  I truly don’t know either way, but it would be laughable of them if the only thing that blocks unregistered users from loading more content is a pop-up. I’ve gotten through forced pop-ups with uBlock’s block element tool in the past.

  I’d imagine it’s far more difficult (and possibly illegal) to forcibly gain access to a website that denies access until you log in or register. Maybe there could be an extension that creates throwaway accounts for you to use, but I’m not aware of any myself.

  I wonder if it’s possible to register a VOIP number for free and use it for Facebook. I haven’t tried it myself.

  Pocket lint + port with no cover = clogged ports that chargers can’t plug into all the way. It’s very common.

  I almost completely ruined the charge port on my last phone by digging out lint and scratching the contacts. I don’t use cases without port covers anymore.

  I usually tend to see that 2019 was the best year in recent memory for many people online in general (lockdowns marked the start of “worse times”). Not to say that no one would have a reason to hate that year though.

  There can be entire communities that know of no one that voted for the opposite candidate. That’s what helped feed the “stolen 2020 election” narrative. Some truly think that Trump should have won in a landslide because “No one I know likes Biden, how could he have won?”.
