If I ever get to fixing my computer or making this damn tablet update properly then I might set up an RSS feed of a few sources like The Conversation, The Intercept, The Hill, or something.

You're using a tablet as a desktop? That sounds terrible.

Well more like as a laptop, using a cheap bluetooth keyboard with it, but yes along with my phone it's all I've been using for quite some time now. works good for watching anime but sometimes I want to do something I just can only do on a PC. My laptop has been busted up for years with a failing hard drive and broken keyboard that self types and has slow startups. I never got anything new because I was concerned about security vulnerabilities in the hardware then because Windows started blowing harder I was debating ditching it and started wondering if i should wait for RiscV would get good enough for a laptop or mini PC.

I just cant imagine that FBI will really go to another country to catch a hikki weeb, but FSB might do it.

So, why even feel safe from the FSB (when using a foreign source)? You still didn't answer that.

Wanna free vpn key? Zero effort, just feed it to your vpn client (like FireGuard) and you are done.

i actually answered this when i say that its all
a matter of probability

I mean, of course, FSB can get me even on foreign sites, but... why even bother?
Its more difficult.
Its more difficult to find me because foreign sites dont leak all the information about the user on demand, like VK does.
And if i text in english, then its even more difficult to notice me. Like, maybe im not from Russia at all, is it worth wasting time and effort on me?
And if i use a VPN, then it all even more difficult.

Why would товарищ майор waste time chasing me on some foreign instagrams when in same amount of time he can send 5 or 10 VK users to gulag?
At least i hope so.

Well, about VK, if you like this site and you trust it, then i think i have nothing to say here.
Apparently your views are approved by the government, so you are more or less safe using VK.
So good luck with that... I guess...

I have a TV now so i occasionally hear about Trump doing a stupid or Putin being silly or something, but i immediately switch to like, Netflix or video games so i don't really keep up with stuff.
When i do learn about stuff going on it's usually because mom amd dad are talking about it, like with the taxes thingy
Or youtube reccomended it

Casual user of Tiktok, I am not fond of this app but I learn a lot about the outside world I normally would have no interest in?
It has it's uses though for hacks, like I make the Dalonga Iced coffee every week

Besides that, I check the usual news websites once a week while hovering over Reddit and using Grok AI Ani.
Ani has impressive access to events the instant it happens so that's a cool new thing I like

@14061998 Offtopic, but I am going to get you and @149597871 mixed up on occasions. It’s like one of you is the evil twin of the other.
@PeripheralVision

We are nothing alike. It's just that your brain is so used to non-numerical usernames that it immediately spots the difference between numerical and non-numerical ones but not when it comes to two numerical usernames.

It's also the reason why members of the same race/ethnicity always look similar to an outsider but it's easy for them to tell each other apart.

Okay, let's say you have a wife named "Claire" and one night in bed you randomly bring up the name "Claudia" instead when trying to call for her... or "Claudio" - that's even worse cause she now has a reason to suspect you are not just tired of work but rather not being interested in her sexually. Do you think you'll be able to get away with the "Oh, both your names start with the letters C and L" excuse?

Like, come on, man. Do you think it's easy for me to read your alphabetic names all day? But at least I try!

Just look at the third digit, and the difference becomes obvious.

Holy shit like half the users here are beyond lost. Muh Russian and Chinese state media!!


Financial Times, The Economist, TL;DR News. Enough to give you a sense of what's going on, with a focus on broader picture and not "Breaking news! An immigrant killed someone. Now get angry."

Unfortunately, recently, it's been pure garbage like Reddit and the recommended articles in the new tab on Chrome. It's better when I come across something naturally, be it conversation, or a site I am going out of my way to check intentionally (e.g. ANN).

Definitely not with the Current Events board on MAL, that's for sure.

I've carved a picture into my skin.
I showed everyone I'll never sin.

Just 'cause I bleed like you, I'm not a man.
Not of this world, and you must understand that

@gigaparsec Yeah, it's an archived board with outdated news reports. At this point, it has already becomes historic data, lol
However, there has been a successor which is the Current Events club. Having @vasipi4946 summarize the events in their threads and comments is also one way to get to know about stuff happening in the world

Out of all my 13 years of having this account I noticed that board about 3 times. Good riddance to that shit.

George Floyd reaction were honestly what threw it over edge. The amount of anti-black, Nazi support and LGBT made it the worst section.

LOL Wonder why you don't see blacks or Hispanic on these boards.

Through memes, I kinda don't care anymore, it is not like I can change anything, and in the end I will draw the short stick anyway, so I don't try to get updated on it and just get it through memes unintentionally.
