I'm happy for Snowden, he seems like a decent person willing to take a stand for what is right and face all the negative outcomes from exposing crimes within an organisation.

If you were an "isolationist" with prepping tendencies would you prefer your car to run on oil that needs to be highly refined or electricity, potentially generated in a thousand different ways?

And yet some people are pulling in $30k a month selling photos of themselves in bikinis on OnlyFans. I try to be an optimist but sometimes it's hard to picture a bright future.

This was an interesting read, I like exact reals and all the trade-offs involved, paper does a good job working through that. Not sure if you are the author but there's a typo in the Introduction: > The mathematical real numbers cle

It's a bit scary how many people here are taking Vitamin D supplements. Unless you live in high latitudes just a bit of direct sunlight daily is more than enough, supplementation for the average person is rarely ever needed barring som

You pull the tails usb out and it does a far better job, this is shit software aimed at people with shit practices and there's simply no nice or pleasant way to say it. Just fucking use tails if you are a terrorist intent on murdering

This is unjustly harsh. At least it's got tangible benefits and customers without harming a soul. GPT-3 can be and is likely already weaponised, it's nice to see anyone out there using it for humble things rather than straight-up

Australian defamation laws are horrendously bad, it needs to be in "public interest", doesn't matter in the slightest if it's the truth. Say a fact in public, and then you go bankrupt in court arguing over the semantics

Shadowsocks has reliably worked for a long time in China, a country with arguably the best DPI capabilities on Earth. Tor's pluggable transports also have been at this stuff for a long time. The internet is for everyone.

Alexandre Cazes is an interesting case that basically never gets mentioned in these threads. It's questionable whether he was doing it alone or even the head operator. But apparently it's all case closed now with no Dread Pirate R

DJI has been subject to a crazy amount of hobbyist and professional reverse engineering, much of it made public by now. I wouldn't underestimate the western multicopter scene and their ongoing hilarious shenanigans against the world&#x

I may have a meagre business and live in a meagre world but would never hire a single person who subscribes to linkedin nor participates in their blatant games. It's the most ridiculous HR wetdream and yet some seem to have no problem
