They wont ship to my locale and actively block frieight forwarders, otherwise I would happily give them $10k for a couple high end computers.

Firefox mobile (so I can sync between my devices) with extensions installed like Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin.

Otherwise: Firefox Klar, Waterfox to sync all my work bookmarks between devices, Vanadium if I need anything google or chromium specific, and Tor.

I got tired of having two different profiles in GrapheneOS (a secondary with Google logged in), now I log in to my google account via Vanadium if I need to do anything like check GMail or Google Voice messages. I just live with never logging in to google maps, so I can’t save places or plan trips with friends in a streamlined manner. I work around it, screenshot the place in maps (logged out) or copypasta into an encrypted note taking app.

The right wing populist party sanseito and rise of populist policies is also driven by younger voters (below 50) in Japan. For those who don’t follow Japanese politics closely, the Liberal Democratic Party has been in power for decades and moves in what ever direction it needs to to maintain power. Far right Sanseito influenced Japanese politices enough since 2020 to push Japan in that direction, because the LDP just absorbs the platform of contenders.

Disenfranchised voters below 50 in a country that’s be stagnant or declining for 35 years. Not just elderly like you might think. Now the boogeyman scapegoat is foreigners.

"The speech of the party is emotionally rather than logically appealing. Therefore, they appeal to the sensibilities of the politically inexperienced and have increased their support.

According to Japanese political analyst Hiroo Hagino, the party is supported by the younger population, who have become disappointed with politics centred on the elderly. According to a JNN survey, a higher proportion of young people voted for Sanseitō in the last election than other demographics. Some Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) officials expressed worry that they might lose votes because both parties have conservative policies. Most of the Sanseitō voters did not support the Kishida government. The appeal of Sanseitō among young people is partly linked to the social crisis Japan is currently experiencing. Growing inequality due to slowing growth since the 1990s and persistent inflation, which is eroding purchasing power, have dampened the hopes for the future of younger generations, many of whom do not have permanent jobs."
