It's just a matter of time before blocking efforts by the entertainment cartels become almost entirely futile as it relates to most pirated content. It's a technological issue and even a 100% effective blockade of all pirate sites is irrelevant to piracy if there is even a single technical change to how content is distributed by pirates. I'll refrain from pointing out the trivial solution for pirates to get around all site blocking once and for all and for all time. I'm sure the day will come when hollywood wished it hadn't pushed the issue so hard as the best solution for pirates is to make the internet entirely irrelevant and one needs not a mesh network. One need only look to places where the internet is severely restricted to understand how movie, tv, and even news piracy is achieved without internet access. The solution is one that any pirate with a calculator, a tiny bit of technical aptitude, and an understanding of bandwidth can solve:

In recent months, people have been smashing and dismantling the surveillance devices, in incidents reported in at least five states, from coast to coast. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations seems to be fueling the sabotage.

Following a decision by the Codeberg e. V.'s Presidium, Codeberg e. V. has joined the ranks of many organizations as a co-signatory of the draft letter of the "Keep Android Open" initiative: https://keepandroidopen.org/draft-letter/

Apart from the impact on the many independent developers hosting their source code on https://codeberg.org, we are concerned by the greater societal implications the Android ecosystem's current trajectory will cause. For more information, see: https://keepandroidopen.org

Both "sides" (uniparty) suck ass.

Probably these or a finetune of it or something similar. They run pretty light and can do classification pretty rapidly on CPU only and would fly through images on a GPU.

I really don't like the Alogging in the Hotwheels Kiwi Farms thread over his death. I really can't justify hating a crippled dwarf because he was mean and had different opinions. I would be pretty fucking mean in his position.

RIP Hotwheels. He's done more than a lot of us ever have for getting people to talk online, and he did it all while suffering from physical torture most of us could not tolerate for a day.

@xianc78 @Soy_Magnus Doing anything for anons is one of the worst possible moves. They build you up, and the moment you do something that might upset them, they make a sport of making you fall, all while demanding you keep working for them. Oh, and they're all either broke or ridiculously stingy with their money. Insanely toxic group to cater to.

@xianc78 @caekislove I don't think internet beefing was this bad back then either, if you wanted internet beefs you had to literally go out of your way for it or be crazy enough on say USENET.

By that I mean someone like Derek Smart probably isn't even shocking to the web anymore because there are thousands of people like him at least using Google Alerts on their own name to find people talking shit online.

That's pretty much what killed dance clubs. Being the dork dancing in a corner was bad enough without some bored instagram thot recording you and making fun of you with her 2 million followers

Exactly. The main barrier to creating a free speech message board isn't technical, it's political. Anything not run by a VC-backed corporation out of California is assumed to be a child porn exchange by default and will be treated as such by authorities.

Serious question: Are we right now at peak technological freedom?
A lot of trends I see are pretty grim, but there is also a lot of seriously interesting work going on.
Maybe I'm oversimplifying, but I'm interested in the full range of perspectives. #AskFedi

I know, at one point, Alex Gleason tried to get access to the list of CP hashes to facilitate auto-deletion of such content but the corporations who "owned" those hashes wanted tens of thousands of dollars for them. Why that isn't considered "profiting off child porn" by the law, I have no idea.

It sucks because while Google is allowed to be the largest host of kiddy porn and all the other illegal bits and bytes, they get a pass because shucks they try their hardest to delete it whenever it is found. Meanwhile, if a regular person owns a message board that allows uploads, they'll get their door kicked in at 3:00am because some bored guy in Tel Aviv uploaded CP to a board nobody looks at
