"... for his and his family’s safety, [Gustavo Petro] agreed to a diplomatic posting in Belgium in 1994. While there, he studied environmentalism and economics at the University of Louvain, and he became deeply interested in the work of Romanian economist Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, who warned that while the global economy relies on constant growth, the Earth cannot be exploited forever."
Considering that under Trump, the US is turning into a fascist terror state where opponents of the orange leader are simply shot dead on the street by his private Gestapo, ICE, or persecuted by his terror justice system, I am considering completely disposing of all US hardware and services that I still use to some extent.
In addition to Linux and Pixel with GrapheneOS, I unfortunately still use a few Apple devices such as MacBook Air, iPhone, Watch, and iPad Mini, and of course I also …

This phishing content hosting technique described by Barracuda is very clever. I find that the anti-analysis features are especially so: "it prevents right-clicking the mouse, blocks the keyboard’s F12 key (used for developer tools), and prevents common keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl/Cmd and Ctrl/Cmd Shift."
Regardless, the standard phishing prevention techniques of strong technical controls combined with end-user training (don't click on links in unexpected email messages…
"So it’s not enough to equate Trump’s legions to the Gestapo or the Klan. (I’ve done both.) He also is the 21st-century version of Attila or Genghis Khan, heading a horde that is defined by an exterminationist loathing of cities and all that they stand for and promote. Their diversity, their toleration, their culture, their solidarity across racial and other lines—all are threats to the horde’s and its ruler’s autocratic monoculture. On the streets, the horde’s loathing manifests as indifference (at least) to the loss of city dwellers’ lives.
As it is the 21st century, and as we have an 18th-century Constitution, Trump’s impulse for city sacking Š la Attila is constrained by laws and customs, but he’s plainly determined to find ways around as many of those constraints as he possibly can. Correspondingly, a good share of the fear he’s engendered all across America has an ancient pedigree: It’s the fear of the barbarians at the gates."
