  • The more important part:

    Just before entering the Oval Office, Trump was captured in a hot-mic moment mentioned to Bukele how “home growns” should be next. He said: “The home growns. You gotta build about five more places. It’s not big enough.”

    Homegrowns, as in dissidents. As in protestors. As in anyone with the audacity to call America what it is. And the room, apparently, didn’t flinch. No gasps, no silence. Just a few smirks and nods, maybe someone jotting it down like a policy idea instead of what it is: an open fantasy of authoritarian expansion. The kind you laugh at in the moment and implement in pieces, bureaucratically, later. Bukele shook hands. Trump grinned. Everything he says is a kind of joke. A cruel joke that becomes the reality.




  • Generally browsing via VPN is not equal to more privacy. It just tells the websites you’re where the server is instead of where you are, while the server might log your full browsing habits even though they promise not to. While legitimate interests, like, ripping you off because you live in a rich country or making sure you’re not in a criminal country, makes browsing with VPN a bad experience.

    Instead, you could fake your location at least in Firefox’ about:config.

    // fake geo location (HB Zürich here)
    user_pref("geo.prompt.testing", true);
    user_pref("geo.prompt.testing.allow", true);
    user_pref("geo.provider.testing", true);
    user_pref("geo.provider.network.url", "data:application/json,{"location": {"lat": 47.377, "lng": 8.540}, "accuracy": 2700.0}"");
