  • Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Sounds interesting, but dropbox won't let me look at anything without a google login, and I'm not about to tell google I read this site. Freaking google. So... maybe at some point I'll feel like working through the privacy issues, I guess.

Messed with this some more and it turns out you are right. It works as long as you don't set the Security Level to Safest in Tor, but nobody but me does that. Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.

Yea pretty sure I am a fawn (people pleaser)
100% Freeze. I "go to pieces so fast, people get hit by the shrapnel." Not sure what I'm supposed to do with that information, though. And how did I get that way? "The most profoundly abandoned child"? Harsh.
