The title of this article is extremely misleading
"A First Nation community in Canada is using a data center to preserve its heritage"
What the author refers to as a "data center" is
- "[a]bout the size of a single-car garage"
- in the hands of the Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory
- not owned by a big tech company
- NOT used for LLM training.
That's not a data center. It's a server room.

When you're confronted with an uncomfortable fact about your ideology, you update your ideology. That's how you grow as a person.
If your reaction to an uncomfortable fact is saying "nuh-uh, that never happened" with no basis in reality, then you're just a miserable little baby.

I could get into how ancapism is a fantasy ideology that will never work, and if it did, it would produce a horrible dystopia. I could also get into how most of its proponents have questionable opinions about the age of consent and about immigrants. But honestly, that's giving them too much credit.
There are no serious proponents of ancapism. The ideology is a red herring for them to propose unbridled ultra-capitalism and all its horrible consequences. It's a troll political theory, made by trolls for trolling anarchists.

Add to that the fact that ancaps will regularly embrace autocrats such as Pinochet just because they removed regulations and killed leftists and you will realize that they have absolutely nothing in common with anarchists.

2026-07-21 07:24:46 UTC

Since apparently people still get confused about this: so-called anarcho-capitalism is not anarchism.
Anarchism is the opposition to unjust hierarchies, especially capitalism and the state. But also other hierarchies such as organized religion, racism, sexism, queermisia, ableism, and so on. Ancapism opposes the state (or claims it does) but has absolutely no issue with any of the other patterns of oppression.
Most anarchists understand anarchism as being a type of socialism, that is, a movement that wants to institute democratic control of the means of production. Ancapism is fundamentally opposed to that since it regards private property as sacred.

I have a question for people in open relationships and polyamorous people with one main partner / nesting partner.
What are your boundaries within that relationship? What rules did you agree on with your main partner? What are the things that required talking about the most? Which of those things have caused issues for you? What do you wish you had thought about ahead of time?
I'm trying to complete a list of topics that need to be talked about and agreed upon before it is possible to open up a monogamous relationship / turn it into a polyamorous one.

Statements like these betray that fact that LLM companies have successfully cultivated parasocial relationships in their users. These poor people legitimately think that an LLM service is their friend. And they're relying on that service to do absolutely everything in their job.
And since that fake friend is controlled by a big tech company, they can just gradually raise the price for access. Dependent users will have no choice but to pay the fee. They're hooked now.
My parents warned me that drug pushers would use these strategies to get me addicted. That obviously never happened. But it's depressing to see big tech companies using those same abusive tactics now.

As a side note to your team—the fact that your CEO has five million Kroner in cash lying around that he can just donate to a fringe party can mean two things:
1. You are taking too much money for your service
2. Your boss is not paying you enough.
I hope some of you share my feeling of betrayal and consider separating from your founder in order to keep doing good in the world by providing an ethical and reliable VPN service.
Best regards

2026-06-26 10:03:28 UTC

Dear Mullvad team,
I must ask for a refund for the remaining balance from this payment:
[payment details]
The reason why I demand this refund is the recent donation of your founder Daniel Berntsson to the openly racist Örebro Party.
https://www.flamman.se/techprofil-ger-miljoner-till-orebropartiet/
The party's leader Markus Allard has said about Somali refugees in Sweden: "vi måste skicka ut de här jävla parasiterna".
https://www.etc.se/inrikes/martin-melin-om-parasit-kommentaren-borde-ha-markerat
This rhetoric, particularly calling unwanted people "parasites", is in no way different from that of the leadership of Nazi Germany.
Do not be fooled by the pseudo-leftist coat of paint on the Örebro party. This kind of Querfront tactics are an old fascist trick. The same thing is currently happening in Germany with Sahra Wagenknecht and her Putin-funded party BSW.
I chose Mullvad as a VPN provider because I was looking for an ethical and trustworthy alternative to Big Tech. The fact that your founder has donated to a fascist party completely undermines my trust in your service. Thus, I will not use Mullvad anymore and I will discourage people around me from using it for this reason.

@nprofile…qj99 when a hagfish is caught by a predator, it releases a strange fibrous slime that expands to 10000 times its original size within half a second. This slime clogs up the predator's gills, forcing them to let go of the hagfish to avoid suffocating.
The hagfish will then twist itself into a knot which travels from head to tail, removing the slime off its own body.
in 2017, a road accident in Oregon resulted in 3.4 metric tons of hagfish being spilled all over the highway and ended up blocking it with their slime.
