Who do you think are wearing the rings?

Well they also love bullying the homeless; gets the cops something to do that isn’t murdering people over petty crimes and racism. Doesn’t get the public as riled up either, since most are already well practiced in ignoring the unhoused.

Through various stages of my life I have used torrents, streaming, Usenet, Napster, limewire, aol/IRC chat rooms, discord, and even google searches. You must adapt to whatever works.

Remember when they at least made transparently bullshit excuses about human shields and terror tunnels when they did their war crimes? I wonder when exactly they worked out they didn’t have to bother anymore.

“Heading toward”? There have been two apocalyptic storms smashing into the US back to back. Worldwide drought, record setting heatwaves, a significant increase in tornadoes, wildfires, and flooding. These fuckers are gonna keep pretending we’re still on the precipice until we’ve hit the bottom of the cliff.

The major breakthrough here is a method for interfacing brain like organic tissue (that they had already developed) with electronic components. They’re using the brain tissue in a similar fashion as a neural network based AI and training it to relay signals to electronic components in response to certain stimuli, if I understood the article correctly; I skimmed quite a bit though.

I feel like this little project is gonna go about as well for them as Rapture did in Bioshock.

what do you mean? people living in the mountains of NC definitely had flood insurance.

Telegram had credibility. It was being used by journalists to protect sources.

You can extend trust to individuals but do not apply that to companies or organizations if you care at all about what they’re doing with what you give them. Not everyone has some mythical tech privacy wizard on call to give them perfect advice every time they open an account on an app or website.

Even client side encryption is not infallible. The algorithm you use will eventually be crackable and probably sooner than you think. Nothing lasts forever.

The most foolproof way to ensure something remains private is to not put it on the internet at all.

If you can read and understand the code, sure. Otherwise you’re still just extending trust to someone perhaps less reputable than even the corporations who are dying to sell you out. For example, the back door some mysterious contributor slipped into xz recently.

My recommendation is to live life as if privacy on the internet did not exist, because it doesn’t.
