on: We don’t know enough about the Pornhub acquisition
"The porn industry is quite serious about following the letter of the law" and
"This antiporn movement is more about control and censorship than protecting children." are both claims that require evidence to be judged whether true or false.

on: Night of the living brain fog dead or how I hacked myself better via open source
I saw an otolaryngology, got a sleep study, was prescribed a cpap with the study recommended pressure, and I am fine. I suppose I could have wandered the tech desert, but this is my health we are talking about. I have other tasks I am better suited to do than wander through a field I had zero training in. I approach my cardiology issues the same way.

I believe he passed. Absolutism in the defense of Nazis is a vice, as I see it. Cloudfare is not a government entity, concepts of governmental speech suppression do not apply to it.
