Or a better title, "Another successful psychological warfare campaign spent more than 100k USD in ad budget to attack XX million users before forcing attackers to simply make new accounts." Very sad results for preventing obviousl

Can anyone familiar weigh in on advantages/disadvantages of this to Bedrock Linux?

Yes, and Gentoo makes highly fine-tuned optimizations very manageable. For most, this is not very practical, but it may offer some millisecond-level improvements for those looking for it. Being able to strictly compile for your preferred au

Which are all encrypted sessions, unless you're suggesting other unproven facts.

What meets your definition of non-western censorship? Surely shutting down mobile operators and preventing communication tools that perhaps more than half the country uses meets this definition?

Some people really care about milliseconds.

Yes, only every successful SIM swapper I am aware of. It sure is hard protecting a glass house.

Thank you for posting your experience. I tried commenting before, but, ironically enough, the post became flagged. I don't really agree with every hill that Peterson chooses to die on, but I appreciate greatly that he has become a voic

I can't tell you how happy I am to see Golang language server support finally added! Thank you!

It also says "Sign Up". With a very comprehensive free tier of services.

That's power users probably using that, or people with fancy phones. You can tweak settings and use extentions to improve just about any user experience, but if the default experience is being abused and 90% of the userbase won't

Yikes, now I feel dumb. I actually never knew you could sell private access to GPL code, but that makes freedom-respecting sense. Thank you! https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMon...

Derivative works are specifically mentioned in GPL. There are websites that distribute paid WordPress plugins for free and Automaticc was only able to go after them for trademark violations. This issue is probably more complex, but the proj

I think platforms and users need to be willing to sacrifice functions that can be abused. at least by default. Email and phone are both examples where enforcing allow-list communication at the protocol level could save them. Instead, both

In my case, yes. I simply wanted to be paid for my work and provided a form of currency that I can spend.

I know of a popular project using Github Sponsors as a payment method to provide premium-only features on GPL code, giving access to a private repo. These features are most definitely derivative work. Is this breaking any rules of Github&#x

I had to cash a check yesterday. This would have been a single CLI command with crypto. Ignoring the fact that this is a 100+ mile journey for me, I had to speak with real humans to get payment in hand. Just how much manpower and resources

I think we are seeing psychogical warfare occurring on any platform possible by many groups & governments. If we keep using technologies that refuse to adapt to strictly prevent this, rather than enable it, we are doomed. Metrics will

People are so quick to dismiss cryptocurrency now because it isn't "green", but disregard the enormous infrastructure, capital, and resources that the global fiat industry uses that is completely automated away by crypto. Eve

Much of this is apparently are coming from EOL devices while also violating GPL. Shameful. Can't someone take action on this? The article references Sick Codes' talk at DEFCON, which was wonderfully done and highlights many serio

Cloudflare is not the internet, nor are they the law. It would take seconds to change the kiwifarms DNS but apparently the admins don't care about their userbase being able to communicate all that much. Glad to see service providers ha

I've always assumed they collaborate with the US gov on illegal activity on the platform at that level. I think they'd be forced to, perhaps behind a gag order, if asked. Or monitored exchanged points. I've definitely seen f

You keep presenting this as fact when it really isn't. Nation states, Brands, businesses, and influencers would have a field day with this. What other sources do you have for this?

I'd simply switch to alternative providers or technologies for my legal content, and then proceed to worry about people who actually live under threat of death for real free speech discussions.

Yup, sure sounds like an internet cesspool to me. I certainly wouldn't want this running on my servers.

Platform moderation is complex, but this being some new hypothetical vulnerability to remove any website from existence is simply not true. Are you suggesting we make it illegal for Cloudflare to do this?

I first stumbled upon kiwifarms when the Christchurch livestream shooting happened. As I recall, the thread was filled with jokes, memes, and other disturbing comments made by the members of this "community" which seemed to suppo
