This is the correct way. Linking to a link to the story is not.

I feel like a lot of folks who use the label "anarchists" don't really understand the concepts behind anarchism.
oysterville | 1 year ago | on: I deleted my social media accounts
Heck, I missed huge announcements when I was on social media because social media thought that the stuff they had to show me was more important.

And that is your right. Find someplace that honors your personal beliefs and give them your hard earned money. I will do the same, but at Costco.

Quite the broad paint brush. Many of us will look at a train going off of the rails and make different travel plans.

Usually if the police are raiding your business they have had to support their request for a search warrant.
If a large company installs data onfuscating kill switches in the event of a police raid, it's fair to believe that it's not to protect customer data.

There can be both government oversight to bring the issues to light, and consumer action based on those issues.

A full self driving bank at that.
oysterville | 1 year ago | on: Jeff Bezos killed Washington Post endorsement of Kamala Harris
Did people really think that billionaires wanted to buy major press outlets for profit expectations?
Controlling the narrative was always the plan. Unless it's private equity. They just strip it bare and put it out of business.
oysterville | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: Can a 5 year old i7 laptop compete with one made today?
