Obviously the ideal amount of meth is zero but there's an equilibrium where getting rid of more meth requires increasingly authoritarian measures which is not acceptable. Of course the most effective ways would be longer societal improvements.

Absolutely agree—it's disgusting. I use Njalla for my domain even though they aren't a free speech provider, at all, I likely won't come into conflict with them and they won't require KYC.

> Also I don't buy your premise that illegal video streaming only make money on ads. I'm under the impression they also sell access to a lot of viewer's machines to companies that want to crawl the web and appear to come from lots of residential ISP nodes.

How would they do this from your web browser? If we're talking about TV apps, many piracy ones are FOSS while legal companies turn your TV into a residential proxy.

Two badly set up websites is what I notice.

2600.com took a whhile to load and gbppr does not have a valid certificate or whatever.

2600.com uses a payment processor that requires emails for crypto donations.

The deadline to comment on the FCC’s proposed rule to require government ID, physical address, and alternative phone number for every phone line in the US is July 25.

You can submit a comment by going to https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express, selecting Express Comment at the top of the page, and entering 17-59 and 02-278 as the docket numbers in the first field.

Genuine (not AI generated!) personal accounts will be most compelling. If you are an American, please consider speaking out against this proposed change, which will be a disaster for personal privacy in the USA.
