@sjmulder : door verschillende browsers te gebruiken heb ik daar minder last van. Vooral Firefox met NoScript (meestal op mijn Android smartphone) geeft mij enorm veel rust. Soms kan ik pagina's met paywall geheel of grotendeels lezen (zie screenshot).

Je hebt wel een leercurve voor NoScript en Firefox heeft ook nadelen (zie bijv. infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat en de follow-up toot over NoScript).

Vaak werkt het als je de primaire partij toestemming geeft om JavaScript uit te voeren, maar derde partijen niet toestaat (waaronder 3rd parties met namen waar "cookiebot" in vóórkomt).

Firefox Focus ondersteunt geen NoScript, maar is het meest privacy-vriendelijk doordat alle geschiedenis gewist wordt bij het sluiten van de browser. Sowieso belangrijk, maar in deze browser helemaal (omdat HSTS niet werkt): zet "https only" aan. Dat betekent dat je *gewaarschuwd* wordt bij onveilige http-verbindingen, die je vervolgens wél kunt toestaan.

Wat ook helpt is als tooters geen "URL-verkorters" gebruiken, zodat je kunt zien naar welke website de link leidt.

Ten slotte probeer ik vaak het m.i. belangrijkste stuk te quoten, of een screenshot te plaatsen (zo mogelijk mét Alt tekst). Dan HOEVEN lezers niet op links te klikken/drukken.

So enough of that of "We must work inside the #DemocraticParty and not a #ThirdParty" shit!

The only reason why #ThirdParties can't win is because you all refuse to support them & passively accept the established order and do nothing to fight for the alternative.

Third-parties can win #elections & have done so in the past.

You think Third-parties in #LatinAmerica didn't have these troubles in the past? Of course they did cos they challenged the system which excluded Third-party Options!

People like #KyleKulinski are comfy where they're at as they make money from YouTube, Book deals, social commentaries, etc. while telling people to #vote for the people who allowed a horrific destruction on the Oct 7th and who literally sold us out 2 times recently and for over 5 decades when the #Democrats oversaw the rising threat of #fascism.

Honestly I think he'll be with those who do a #RosaLuxemberg assassination 2.0 when real discussions for true alternatives rise up like a #ThirdParty.

a #thirdparty in the actual statistical middle of US politics would create an emergency brake for most of the the #madking baloney.

#Murkowski, and maybe #Collins should consider becoming #independents, and help the creation of a party of the center, by virtue of first becoming a blocking faction...

maybe some democracy-friendly #Alaskans could bend her ear...

@CiaraNi
3rd parties have never succeeded in the US. My take? Trying to create a party from the top down simply does not work. Don't just show up every 4 years trying to elect a 3rd party president.
Grassroots is the only way to create a viable party. It's hard, often thankless work. Be prepared to lose and lose again, yet still go on. It takes courage, persistence, and a focus on the long view. Now's the time.

@QasimRashid

I wish I could find a way to disagree with you, I can't.

#DNC needs new leadership or the US needs a viable #ThirdParty.

I'd say that soon there will be enough disaffected #Democrats and #Republicans to constitute one.

I realize the #Libertarian & #Green parties are out there but they have not garnered enough belief to really move the needle.

All I can say for sure is that #wethepeopleoftheunitedstates have allowed #Trump back in power and we need to fix that at the ballotbox.

"The core of Rossman's claim is this: Brother has released firmware updates that cause printing issues with third-party ink or toners in printers of the company.

[...]

You may notice that something is missing. Right, there is no first-hand proof. Rossman does not appear to have verified the claims, as no information is provided regarding local tests."
