When you say the US is close to Canada in values I get nervous, I want to travel to Canada some day.

Are Canada also against lgbt people, abortion and other common human rights?

I am really frustrated about that donation. I am an LGBT person, and I fear that a service I have paid for for many years will found someone who wants all my human rights gone. That I am supporting someone who just wants me to stop existing. I am not sure what VPN provider I could use that is even half as trustworthy as mullvad and I am not sure what to do.

I find the documentation for the syntax to be a bit lacking if you want to do anything that isn't very basic and how they want you to do it. For example, I want to use a wildcard certificate for my internal services to hide service names from certificate transparency logs, and I can't get the syntax working. Chatgpt and gemini also couldn't.

That is a great idea. Do you know any alternatives to Vault that is owned by one of these organizations?

When I use a mobile I usually type G! instead of !g because of autocorrect, and it works just the same.

What is the name for these simple css files that can turn plain html into a full layout/theme?

Can I find a list of these somewhere?

Are you using Firefox? Because it happens to me too with some websites, and it really creeps me out.

I finished my masters degree. I had never thought it would happen, I was so sure I would be kicked out or commit suicide before I got to the point where I would actually finish. But I did it, I now have a degree.

I there any anti reCaptcha or anti Google, that I can donate to? I want to donate a small amount every time Google forces me to solve their problems.

A good home, everything I need to be comfortable at home like a good bed. I also try to buy quality items when it's something I use often.

So at least if you are concerned about the IMEI number because of privacy it's easier to change than on a regular phone.

I agree that Windows is insanely hard to use. I helped someone get their new windows computer up and running and I spent more than an hour figuring how to make it not open MSN.com every time it booted, I had to edit some registry key.
