with a push for "racial equity" combined with an inept middle management and hr who in order to get equal outcome will push people down instead of lifting people up, the only thing i can see from this is a sharp rise in ethno nati

defaults absolutely matter, which is why surveillance being the default is deeply troubling to me. I do not care what the justification flavor of the day is, it's not a good trend to normalize. all it takes is another donald trump type

I live in MA, i had no prompt asking me to activate this at all. it was silently installed without any notice. this isn't an auto update, this was an unsolicited app install.

a government installing a software without notice or consent onto their population's devices is not something a healthy functioning democracy does, it's what a psychotic paranoid despot does. if the Mass Gov truly wants to minimiz

I wouldn't really classify it as a "good" nntp server (nor would I recommend it as it's probably not fully compliant) but nntpchan is one possible route if you don't mind the imageboard aftertaste. it's not mea

Tor is fast because they have a birds eye view of the entire routing concensous where as i2p does not as it can not. The latency suffers as a result in i2p. That is why tor is faster, it's not because of coins. I have considered adding

Yet they haven't even fixed the bugs they started with.... kovri is a rebrand of i2pd, someone took one of the worst revisions of i2pd back when it sucked more and called it kovri and to this very day still have loads of bugs that are
