#MutualAidRequest to help a homeless disabled trans couple keep phones on
Goal:
$0/$50
Hello Fedi. It’s been an awful day for @LukeOrion and I. We’re at risk of losing everything now, and I’m here trying to make sure our phones don’t get shut off. We need to raise $50 to help cover our phone bill. We need to raise that by the end of tomorrow to keep our phones on.
Please boost for us, thank you!

![The image captures a moment of people using an escalator in what appears to be a public transportation or commercial building. The scene is monochromatic, emphasizing shades of gray and black-and-white tones that suggest it may have been taken during the daytime with natural light coming through windows on the right side.
In the foreground, two individuals are descending the escalator: one dressed formally in dark clothing with glasses, possibly a man, standing closer to us; another person is further down wearing a floral top and patterned skirt. This latter figure appears older or more petite than those around them.
Two women ascend on the right side of the escalator, distinguishable by their attire which includes hats, sunglasses, gloves, and handbags suggesting they are dressed for cooler weather or protection from sun exposure; one has her hair styled in a bun while both wear coats. Their clothing suggests that this might be an image from several decades ago.
The lighting is bright but not harsh, casting soft shadows on the escalator's steps and surrounding area. The floor reflects some of these lights which indicates it could be made of polished metal or tile.
There are visible signs indicating directions to various floors (e.g., "1" through "3") affixed above the escalators' handrails. These suggest that multiple levels exist beyond what is captured in this snapshot, and people use them regularly for movement w [...]](https://social.trom.tf/photo/preview/640/37247281 "The image captures a moment of people using an escalator in what appears to be a public transportation or commercial building.

Trump wants to shove a pro-Russia peace(?) deal down the throats of the Ukrainian people so he can win the Nobel Peace Prize. He doesn’t care about the future implications for the Ukraine and Europe.
And it’s not the first time Trump has sold out an entire country for personal gain.

Whilst a Tor browser can access normal HTTPS websites, it can also access onion websites and the dark web (where there is no age verification required). The linked article is quite comprehensive in that it also mentions some downsides like slower speed, and some exposure on both sides of the link (entering and exiting the Tor network) namely your ISP seeing the Tor protocol being used, and the Tor exit node.
But importantly the article gives some suggestions on improving privacy, and also highlighting that the Tor network can be used for perfectly legitimate sites on the dark web — many being news sites, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook, etc. In some countries, VPNs and Tor are used to gain access to news and e-mail that may otherwise be blocked. So Tor also bypasses censorship attempts by governments.
Some browsers like Brave browser will actually fire up their own private window with Tor, so no need to install the Tor browser itself.

Tor Onion Service web sites (aka, Onionland) and I2P Eepsites are not seen by most people because they require that you run special software.
There are also web pages not indexed by Google because they require that you sign into an account to see them. You don't have to run special software; you just need to create an account and sign in.
So I see a difference between Eepsites and .onion sites on the one hand, and other pages not seen by search engine web crawlers on the other.
Of course there are other systems similar to I2P and Onionland. E.g., Freenet has been around for a long time.
@David not really "special" software - for onion sites that is just the Tor browser or even a normal Brave Browser opened with a private window and Tor. I2P may be slightly more special in that you generally have to run an I2P proxy of some sort.
They are not indexed by Google though, not because of sign-ins, but because Google does not trawl .onion and .i2p sites (hence the "dark" but there are still other search engines on both onion and I2P networks). Very many of the sites I visit on both .onion and .i2p are optional sign-in - most can be fully viewed but sign-in required to like, comment, post, etc.

LOL Terry A. Davis is spinning in his grave!!! I know he really didn’t like Linux at all.
But I am sure this project is more of an homage to Davis, and not trying to mock him. I love it!
