Damn, before long the d1ckpics start showing up 🤢🤢🤮

There are a lot of hard truths in Carlin’s work.

I didn’t know him, but apparently he financed the republicans. If that is indeed the case I say fuck this guy.

On the other hand the site took out the middleman/madam who traditionally exploited these women (perhaps man as well) So, good for them!

Edit: I’m an idiot, I’m sure the site took a fat percentage of the earnings, so technically they just replaced the pimps. And just like that my sympathy is gone…

Great news for the EU! But don’t anybody think this is it. There are powerful interests behind mass surveilance. And selling more ads is just one of the least malevolent. These interests are probably not done trying to earn a € or $ more.

I think you may be right.

Never too late to dicover a classic.

By sheer chace I came across Alpha Centauri (wikipedia) a sequel to the original Civilization on gog.com. Best purchase ever. Exceptional gameplay. The best 5$ I remember spending.

What makes you think they do? If need be there is staff for that.

Ship shipping ship shipping ships.

Suggest you try NewPipe (android) or FreeTube (Linux).

Why not? I thought it was een interesting choice ;-P

🙋

If you have a concrete suggestion as to the stack don’t hold back 😃

Just one of the many sympthoms of an empire in decline.

Good point. Have no elegant solution for that at the ready.

I wonder why such discussions are always framed as an all or nothing propositions. Zero knowledge systems are a decades old invention. Just very briefly: based on some ID a site issues cryptographycally signed tokens claiming some fact, e.g. the requester being an actual real person, adulthood, etc. Such a token could be presented by an otherwise anonymous user to a 2nd site with their own signature as proof of said property in order to consume their service. Tokens could even be single use.

A requirement to prove someone is, in fact, a human is not unreasonable. Banning bots or bad actors could be a solution to a lot of the problems on social media etc…

There is naturally a major shortcoming of this scheme, authoritarians could not track people…

Man, this photo sure looks like some weird ai shit… or the burn victim filter?

With respect to Mr. Bunny, this is not saying much. Think about it, how many random picks would it take to find someone who better embodies those values than the orange baboon?

Sadly, besides the bottom line, the only universally relaible motivator for an organization is legislation.

So I keep hearing… Yet, I’m having a hard time believing that most people are even aware of those fancy features, let alone use any of them.

I accept that there are important models implemented as excel sheets. Reimplementing or even attempting to migrate away is viewed as risk. But this is a different argument.
