As a formerly ardent software freedom lifestylist I hear this criticism and have embraced it myself. I don't encourage the "designers" I know in my life to use GIMP anymore. Much like social revolution can be tragically viole

This is the same tired justification of injustice that "states rights" advocates trot out.

Here's how the UX actually works: 1. User chooses "attach photo." 2. The user hasn't installed the plugin. Who does that? So signal doesn't work. 3. The user sends their contact a facebook message saying "signa

'Blurted' (thinking this is how a diplomatic reception works is straining) utterances don't end up on Wikileaks, and the united states isn't different now, for better or worse, than it was any number of years ago. I&#x27

I would say Temporal is not far off in saying "commitment to the truth," but I would go further and say that the core of humanity, of being human, is striving towards bettering ourselves through the application of intelligence. In

The web interface does show some of these things, but I think with Wikileaks you can always get a torrent of the raw files they've obtained. At least, that was usually the case. The DKIM information is verifiable, and if Wikileaks was

The thing is that it takes a significant amount of time and bandwidth to get flagged as an exit and included on circuits. So your set of hosts is going to be pretty limited to start; most hosts are pretty hostile to Tor exits as it is, and

Did you check prior to the multiple years of work on the exit scanner? Just lurking on tor-relays and tor-talk shows a lot of responsiveness on the part of the dirauths.

by tedks 10y ago
Tor Project runs several scanners for this behavior. Arguably, unless your ISP, ISP's ISP, coffee shop, etc., are all 100% on top of their game, this could happen in any one of those environments too.

Reddit tends towards sanitization because it's so easy to kill something on /new and so hard to break into /hot on bigger subreddits. On any subreddit where new posts aren't immediately on /hot, only the cadre that

Well, Slenderman had the video game Slender popularize the meme, so I would expect the trend to be dominated by people who came to the meme via that game rather than the organic growth. From that chart it looks to me like creepy started spi

>What kicked it off in 2007 I don't know. The internet meme of "creepypasta," probably. See /r/nosleep for the sanitized version. This is the meme cluster that yielded Slenderman, BEKs, and the SCP project.

Pregnancy predominantly effects women. If I need to argue that women are oppressed, I don't think we can have a discussion. Phobias effect the neurodivergent and your dismissal of this is ableist. You're inserting your own value s

Why should anyone be cut any slack? We can all clearly see the trend of moral progress and we should all be able to extrapolate from it. Progressivism wins and reactionism loses. But even with a myopic view of history, you have to be truly

Really? You don't think people are capable of being traumatized by pregnancy, death, or insects? Personal injury and insects are among the most common phobias and pregnancy should be fairly obvious as to why it's on that list (I d

By using a Tor-network internal address rather than an DNS/IP address, a Tor hidden service can provide integrity and confidentiality assurance over the Tor network's protocol rather than HTTPS.
