Absolutely! And for those that can, building a local community or mutual aid group is about the best thing you can do, although I recognize that sadly, not everybody has the luxury of a body of like-minded people nearby.

For anyone that needs to see this - if you have one, find your local SRA, Liberal Gun Club, Pink Pistols, and/or John Brown Gun Club chapter - sooner, rather than later.

Ah, then it must have been my relevant experience that was lacking (I knew it was one of the two, lol).

This is amazing, thanks for sharing!

Well I'm not gonna lie, I envy your firsthand experience, lol. I've looked at jobs they have open from time to time, but alas, they generally either don't fit my experience or are more aimed at candidates from Europe.

Honestly I'd love if more companies could adopt their payment model. Phreeli looks like a solid cellular provider and I'm sure their double-blind armadillo thing is legit, but if I could just mail them an unmarked envelope with nothing but a numeric account identifier and some cash I'd like it way more. Same with Tuta. But I understand there's some possibility for logistical concerns there (what happens if the user loses their account identifier? Too many banks still use SMS 2FA, etc. etc.).

I will be for sure! I've been trying out the different Fediverse "reddit clones" (for lack of better terminology) to see which one I liked the most (I started with just Lemmy) before I settled on which one I was going to support, but I'm pretty confident Piefed is the winner.

What I pay for:

  • Mullvad
  • Addy.io
  • Tutamail

What I "pay" for (through donations, if that counts):

  • The EFF
  • Wikipedia
  • GrapheneOS
  • Asahi Linux
  • Python

I don't really subscribe to much, but I'm definitely looking to expand the latter list, so I'll probably start donating to the maintainers of ad blocker filter lists and seek out more organizations fighting the good fight.
