I always thought the cyberpunk genre was a warning, not a blueprint.

Tired of lately getting blocked to create accounts without a phone number
Have you tried Firefox Relay? They have a paid tier that gives you a phone number and unlimited email masks. Yes, you have to provide a number, and yes you have to pay, but you wouldn't be giving Meta or Discord your contact info.

qBittorrent 4.6 launches with I2P support - gHacks Tech News
Reply in thread
From the article that was posted:
The main new feature is support for I2P, the Invisble Internet Project. It uses a fully encrypted privacy network layer to hide user activity and locations. The network does not use servers. Peers contributed "a portion of their resources" to other network particpants.
The maintainers promise that "non one can see where traffic is coming from, where it is going, or what the contents are" when the Invisible Internet Project is active.

TIL that Geordi directed some episodes
*Geordi.
Burton directed over two dozen episodes across the Trek franchise. While Frakes is more prolific, ironically Burton directed my two favorite Riker episodes, "Second Chances" and "The Pegasus".

Like they care. If they're forced to retire, they'll get cushy jobs making bajillions for law firms or lobbyist groups.

The government actually has infinite money
Not that I'm saying we should throw money into these wars, but rather that we should have no issue taking care of healthcare and student debt.

Nice work ignoring the decades of conflict. It's not like Israel has been stealing all the land they agreed to "allow" Palestinians have for the last 50+ years or anything, right?
