No blocking and static content.

If it HAS to have user-generated content, then 1) it’s an app, not a website 2) have it untraceable to me from it to me 3) shove it in a jurisdiction that doesn’t care. Still no blocking.

Sounds like 1FA with extra steps.

Tell me you’re insecure without saying you’re insecure.

[being in US is hard]

[then don’t]

many in the US can hardly do anything but work

Whatever, you weren’t listening anyway.

US citizens have the most powerful passport in the world and a cost of living that makes overseas travel profitable. There’s no goalposts moving here. Paying a shitton of extortion money for a privilege of not paying the overblown price might be a decision to make might be a dexision they consciously make, but that’s not my point. My point is, this medicine does not cost nearly as much, and the only reason >$1000 numbers are thrown around is that nobody in their sound mind pays them. If you’re willing to embark on side-discussions, I’m willing to entertain you, just stop bringing up your movable goalposts.

Lastly, the whole point is how in the US quality insurance IS a privilege

Having rights of a US citizen is a privilege. Living in US while having rights of a US citizen is a privilege on top of a privilege. But one doesn’t have to. That’s absolutely a choice. Repeat after me. An Afghan person with nearly no rights and a cost of ticket to US exceeding their life-long salary doesn’t move to US because it’s a privilege. But for a US hobo, whose monthly expenses far exceeding a ticket to a sane country they’re “magically” already allowed to enter anytime they want, staying in US is a choice. Don’t even try to twist that into a privilege. Time and flexibility, my ass. US citizens spawn with a golden ticket and a knob to dial life difficulty to “easy”. If they stay in US past their healthy young prime, that’s on them.

Off-topic? Goalposts? Misinformation?

Now that you’ve named specific drugs, it’s awfully easy to show how US is just a scam: https://www.statista.com/statistics/312014/average-price-of-humira-by-country

The difference between US and the runner-up is worth not just two plane tickets, but a lavish vacation. Just accept it, you’re being had and it never crossed your mind to do the reasonable thing.

What part of my comment lead you to believe I was referring to anyone who was able to subvert the customer model?

A plane ticket out of the scam country and back is a pathetic fraction of the “thousands dollars cash per dose” you invoked.

Each dose is thousands of dollars cash.

LOL, it’s because it’s not, simple as that.

No, of course no, yours are leased and subleased --sarcasm

Congrats, you’re 12% there.

I run syncthing with my own relay and I trust that setup. Owning me through syncthing would basically require backdooring the software, something that’d be likely to go noticed by the syncthing community.

Rustdesk is a backdoor by functionality and it’s already using infra I don’t control. I don’t feel comfortable using that.

It’s literally a third-party service that let’s others control your desktop. Doesn’t matter how FOSS the clients and end servers are, one also needs to trust the intermediate servers. If those running them are caught dishonest about which country they’re located, the trust evaporates. China or not.

Firefox ate my RAM joke is ridiculous. Nokia N900 has 256MB RAM. Fennec for Maemo had electrolysis (multiprocessing) turned on. In version 4. Years before the desktop Firefox. You really need to go old-school embedded for Firefox to eat your RAM.

Ignore it.

must go deeper

My code is compiling.

How about “if you accept the bribe, report it and do nothing, you can keep it”?

Can’t tell whether sarcasm or high.

With 1 year and no second term they’re just gonna steal everything within their reach from day 1, so we need to balance it with:

• all public servants live under full transparency, 24/7 body cams etc for years after, financial transparency for life
• 2x to all prison sentences while serving
• a well-oiled practice to jail everyone who ain’t a total saint

Then, maybe.

Congratulations, you’ve pretty much redefined “being a scam” to “being advertised”. What gives?

How about we leave the word to the outrageous cases of actively preying on specifically targeted victims? Talking grandmas into devolve their credit card numbers, Ponzi schemes, sects or USA healthcare — scams. NFTs, car ownership, DPRK or USA — not scams, misadvertisement.
