  • Many sites don’t work like that and don’t even load the content from the server before the paywall check.

    But I have a trick that work 100% of the time. Just don’t read those sites.

    I get that journalism and entertainment magazines have workers and need to be paid BUT:

    They were getting paid when I could pay a cheap physical newspaper if I want to read it and usually had those for free anyway. As you’ll get newspapers on most public places and one single newspaper would serve a whole family. In my house we didn’t really paid more than 4€ a month and got physical things that you could just keep. Now with digital distribution you own nothing and it is far more expensive. So… No. Also they get a ton of public money through institutional advertisement, so I’m already basically paying for them without getting access to their content.

    So unless they are willing to change their model I’ll just refuse to read them. I’m happier without their clickbaits anyway.











  • Not really.

    Firstly they never said that they would turn him to the US. They said that they would turn him to a third country. And only if irrefutable evidence of his guilt were to be provided. And they said that the only would turn Bin Laden, not any other AlQaeda members.

    Algo this happened after they US started the bombings. Before the US attacked the Talibans refused to even talk about it. And they would probably just tried to make time to start a truce until Bin Laden left the country.

    So it was actually a fake proposal and only after their previous refusal started the bombings on Afghanistan.


  • I’m operating on the not so ignorant notion than the Taliban supported Al-Qaeda and its ways for decades, becoming a safe haven for Bin Laden and other terrorists.

    They had no issues with terrorism and supported the use of terrorism against the infidels.

    Being also targeted by other islamist terrorists doesn’t clean their history with support of international terrorism.

    I cheated a little. As I’m employed by a public organization of the Spanish government. But it’s true that we achieved these conditions because we have massive Unions here in the public sector. We are currently threatening with a strike if the remove remote work (as they are threatening to remove it).


  • Instance picking can be overwhelming. Making people just not even try it.

    I do think a big challenge for the fediverse is how to ease that. And make it like e-mail where @whocares is not that important and it’s easy to actually have a custom domain/instance.

    And, of course, to achieve this instance admins should be really be responsible with defederations and bans. And only use it as last resort, probably only because of legal reasons. Not because “I don’t like that instance admins main political thesis”. Probably that kind of blocks are better to be left to the user.
