DivestTrump··on Space station astronaut captures breathtaking view of the edge of the Earth
The world just watched three billionaires make fools of themselves to establish space tourism and I'm sure Russia noticed. This is the director's second launch this year and I can't see the Russian film industry being able to recoup that kind of investment. He must have received approval from the highest ranks in Russia, if it wasn't their idea/bankroll to begin with. Innovative propagandists even if it does seem gimmicky.
DivestTrump··on Brazil Rejects the Gamaleya Vaccine
Lancet is not "respected" after their autism fraud scandal. Re-publishing Russian state-sponsored research is not "confirming those numbers" it's just low editorial standards.
DivestTrump··on Whole Foods CEO on plant-based meat: good for the environment, not for health
Absolutely. Oreos are vegan and nobody would argue they're healthy. As processed as some "meat alternatives" may be, it's still a better path than meat for health.

Objectively, nicorette is unhealthy, but doctors will recommend it all day if it helps you quit smoking.

No, just the source code.
DivestTrump··on Show HN: ParrotSnoop – Android TCP/UDP Packet Capture for IPv4/IPv6
I appreciate the traction this received. I'd like to note that I am not a developer by trade and I'm certainly not a designer. Java isn't even my primary language. I am just somebody interested in privacy and security and this was a fun project that should be useful. Any contributions to the code or design are very welcome. I hope this helps others and thank you.
DivestTrump··on MicroG – Re-implementation of proprietary Android apps and libraries
Google requires a comprehensive privacy policy for apps and there are plenty of policy generators, but they don't make their own library specific privacy policies easy to find in my experience. Just using Google Play has privacy implications and it's a mess trying to track down and link proper policies without seeming like your app is stealing users social security numbers. It's possible I just have no idea what I'm doing, but I shouldn't need to hire a lawyer for an app that collects zero data by itself.
DivestTrump··on Monsanto 'compiled dossier' on political opponents
Perhaps they too should create blacklists of suspected communists to be reported to the government for extrajudicial consequences. Then France can enjoy freedom like America.
DivestTrump··on Monsanto 'compiled dossier' on political opponents
...which is against the law in France.

Edit:

> Le Monde reported that the list was "problematic" under French law which prohibits the construction of a database "revealing the political and philosophical opinions of a person without their consent".

That's what trying to read a book in a dream is like.

DivestTrump··on Reddit's user uprising against China because Tencent will invest in the platform
Protesting a site by engaging with it more. Excellent work, reddit.
