The biggest advocates for non-violence are white cis heterosexual men. It is the failure to recognize the multifaceted nature of violence itself. Punching a Nazi can mean that other Nazis stop looking up to them, and they stop being able to effectively organize.

You should be selective and strategic with who you punch. Typically you will want to go for leadership, or the guy who offers a connection between two groups that you consider a risk.

That being said, you should also consider that you probably aren't going to have as much success punching a Nazi on their terms. A lot of them are into their gym and guns so it tends to be to your advantage to catch them alone when you are in a group. Sometimes the opportunity will come after one of their demonstrations when they are walking to their car. Other times, it can be useful to find where they live and work.

Punching Nazis isn't an everyday thing but its unrealistic to claim it isn't sometimes necessary. It works very effectively as part of a bigger picture. Alongside it, you can put stickers on their doors in the middle of the night. If the circumstances arise, you can do silly stuff like convincing one that another fascist is sleeping with his equally shitty wife.

Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Disney, Universal, Nordisk, and Warner Brothers are all part of this "Rights Alliance" group. Each of them have used, or plan to use, generative AI going forward - which, by design, is unable to abide by copyright since it is trained on whatever they can get their hands on.

This is yet more "one rule for them and one rule for everyone else" from leaches that are desperate to profit from the work of others and punish anyone who won't pay into their state-enforced protection racket.

Its the same reason they like to play Born in the USA all the time.

Quick note that I see the article is from PinkNews, who have recently had a large number of former staff come out against their leadership for transphobia, ableism, racism, misogyny, and an incredibly toxic workplace culture. This includes recordings of Cohen saying stuff that frankly promotes this sort of fan behaviour.

Are you from the past? Like 2014?

DNS over HTTPS is your best bet because they can't Man In The Middle and replace it (DNS Poison) like good old DNS. They will still be able to see the IP addresses you are connecting to unless you proxy those connections. nativeproxy uses Chromium's stack so it is much harder to detect. There are UI frontends for it if you prefer but I've never used them. ProtonVPN also has a stealth protocol that I've heard is good, though I don't know too much about it.

Good on you for trying to get around it. That kind of curiosity is a great way to develop your lateral thinking skills. You didn't ask for a lecture and people giving you one should go back to stack overflow comments. If you want to take the risks of it, that is up to you and you are likely to fuck up. That being said, you aren't the only person likely go get in trouble if you fuck up and, unlike you, IT will depend on their job financially. If you do it well enough and make sure you don't get caught by someone seeing your screen or blagging around the school that you did it, that won't be an issue.

IT departments also read comments in threads like this to find the current trends of how students are trying to get around their web blockers so keep in mind that you will need to keep your skills up to date.

If the employer if promoting a union, its probably somewhat in their pocket. Its just an extension of HR. I used to use the printer in the same room as my workplace HR and the union rep would constantly be insulting employees behind their backs to them.

gtk3-classic still doesn't work properly on Wayland and I doubt it will ever be fixed so I include WAYLAND_DISPLAY=0 in each shortcut file to force them into xwayland.

A comment I see nobody making is that this will negatively effect disabled gamers and prevent the use of accessibility tools.

It reminds me a lot of ourdialects.uk which does similar but for the UK and split across a few different maps. I'd love a website where it guesses where you (or someone else) are from based on some sort of quiz.
