A ton of stuff. Community colleges are typically located with good commuter access, offer classes outside of normal business hours, have open admissions, and don’t have to subsidize large research departments or typically have to support the cost of onsite residential buildings.

I mean, it would also be good to see the cost of in-state tuition at state universities come down, but community colleges fill a different niche and the primary reason they didn’t offer bachelors before was lack of demand, but that has now changed.

Fortunate that the constitution explicitly makes protesting legal, right guys?…

And now I’ve ditched Proton. Andy Yen’s comments made me skeptical, but I was still confident that their mission was intact. This move, to a social media platform with a demonstrated willingness to censor non-corporatist views, confirms my fears that they are giving up their principles.

I think this is right on the money.

What do you mean by that?

True, but that’s defense by concealment. If they notice the domain, they can block it without harming their business. My argument is that iCloud is too large for them to block.

Jfc. Just call it the SA at this point.

There are other options for email aliases. iCloud has a pretty robust system, and its ubiquity makes it less likely to be filtered.

No, ethnic cleansing does not necessarily imply killing. It is the forced depopulation of an area, which can be by means of deportation, economic pressure, threat of violence, etc. Genocide is the most extreme form of ethnic cleansing.
