Beginning July 1, unions serving Utah teachers, firefighters, police officers, transit workers and other public employees will be banned from negotiating on their behalf for better wages and working conditions.

In other words, Utah is looking forward to a shortage of teachers, firefighters, and police officers.

→ Yes, it’s a VPN.

This thread asked about my experience with Windscribe. That’s my experience, and my experience was deterred due to the current political climate and the fact my primary purchase was based on having unfettered access. Ashburn, Virginia, doesn’t allow unfettered access. And frankly, I don’t care what discussion you want.

Currently, there are eight states that require you to show ID to access pornography. Virginia is one of those. There are currently seven other states that have introduced such laws. Of all those 15 states, none of them are liberal. All of them are Conservative.

Why do I choose Washington D.C.? It’s the closest to me that’s not affected by ridiculous oversight, and my latency will stay relatively low.

Is that “VPN-enough” for you, dummy?

Surprise! Trump signing a big 'ole nothing burger, and his followers will eat it up. As of December, only 15 federally funded universities are still requiring the vaccine, and being such a short list, I didn’t even recognize any of them.

I had an annual membership with them for $29. It’s worth it, but I ultimately went to Mullvad because their Washington D.C. server is actually Washington D.C., whereas the Windscribe D.C. server is actually Ashburn, Virginia. Virginia has been aggressively moving toward a Conservative view of the internet, whereas D.C. is much more liberal.

I know, I know, Virginia voted liberal during the last presidential election, but the governor is the second coming of Donald Trump.

It’s not boring. It’s just much more difficult to find a valuable .com domain. Working in business, receiving an email from a .place domain would likely go right in the trash.

How is posting a picture of two men kissing considered homophobic? Wouldn’t being offended by it be homophobic?

People, I’ve already mentioned that Windows 10 LTSC is out there until 2027. Additionally, Windows 11 non-TPM is available out in the 'bay.

Removed by mod

I’m not going to Windows 11 or Linux. I found a copy of Windows 10 LTSC with support til 2027+.

The irony here is amazing. You’re requesting a community where people agree with you because you have a realistic view of the world.

Did you ever stop and think that you’re the common denominator and maybe, just maybe, your world view is the one that’s wrong?

I’ve been using Bitwarden for years now. Their free tier is amazing, they’re rarely down, and it’s open source with extensions and apps for every platform.

I tried Proton Pass for a minute while Bitwarden was offline, but quickly ran back to Bitwarden. Proton’s extension kept logging out for some reason. I didn’t care enough to troubleshoot it.
