Well given the platform I dont know whether congratulations or condolences will be in order..........sometimes, particularly in my case.....when I am too damn stupid to see the better decision, God will go ahead and make changes in my life, and only later will I figure out what happened.....dont let it drive you nutz.......

I haven’t even looked at it or consider it four the four years. But with the international dust up I was using it to access open source sights and foreign news. Was frustrating to have to do user lookups all the time to go to them.
With EM buying them I thought what the heck, and sure enough.

Only the hardline communist and party leaders were wetting themselves when Germans took sledge hammers to the Berlin wall

OK if you get limited again for whatever reason the way around that I have found is Pale Moon browser. Where normally with Firefox I am asked to sign in when I have scrolled past a certain point ina thread, Pale Moon does not and I have access to the entire thread. I have Pale Moon set up to defacto dump all history and cookies on shutdown so it is a clean slate every time it is started. I am running Pale Moon on a couple of mature mission critical Linux systems. Pale Moon for Windoze is here


and it should perform the same as it does on my Linux systems.......one other caveat is from what I have found Firefox is a CPU and memory pig, the latest versions open a lot of system processes and want lots of CPU cycles. Pale moon is under Linux, lighter on system resources. I have about 15 Twatter sites I look at for news and routinely open them all at once. The only limiting factor I have found is my internet speed rather than the browser hogging system resources. Same tabbed browsing as Firefox so the transition is easy and it will directly import Firefox bookmarks. Any o f the Windoze browsers I dont know.

Brief note..... Pale moon will get you past some but not all paywalls. Until recently I browsed Blomberg pretty much unfettered without a subscription but they have changed some things in their web structure where it no longer works. Any site that want an e mail to browse the site I have pretty much been able to access with Pale Moon.....
Hope this helps....

Edit.....one quick note--I have NOT used Pale Moon on the dark web so far. Were I going to do that particularly on a Windoze system I absolutely would sandbox the browser.....FWTW. Good idea with anything to do with the DW....

They're more supporting of China. They look at how China controls the people and wonder how they can do that.

Here is an idea... they obviously think they are the gifted that decide for the rest of us, yes? Suit em all up in fatigues,, hand each an AK and a couple of clips of ammo and lets air drop em in to a Russian controlled area in Ukraine. I am certain with their brilliane they'll be able to help Vlad with planning and OSINT..... just a thought.
 
This is pretty illuminating.....

The Social Credit System: Not Just Another Chinese Idiosyncrasy

As the unparalleled ability of big data to capture and process real-time information signals a revolution in public administration, countries around the world have begun to explore the application of the technology to government functions. At the forefront of these efforts is China, which is...
jpia.princeton.edu jpia.princeton.edu
it outlines China's Social Credit system and talks about the abrogation of freedom in the US in what sounds like a progressively similar system to China's. One wonders when some group of Constitutionalists arent going to get together and start legal proceedings particularly since muffin face has been appointed to lead the DHS's new department of Information Ministry....... and since what the purported purpose of the new DHS Information Ministry seems to me at least to be in direct violation of any number of articles in the US constitution (Wonder if muffin face will have a salary commensurate with her $17 million dolla counterpart at Twatter...what IS this new department's budget be anyway??)
So could it be argued that if you arent on the (a ) "list" then you must be either brain dead or live in an area where there is no internet nor cell coverage....the article is from 2020....one wonders how much farther down the path we have peddaled since then.... and what might happen to Elon if he terminates miss 17 million dolla...... Maybe Victoria can get a job at DHS, no??

Aaannnnd...FWIW, there is this
