Shut up Daniel. Genuinely, shut the fuck up. Everybody is tired of being lied to. We know about your connection to PrivacyGuides. We've all heard the libelous bullshit from you a million times about all of your competitors. I will never use GrapheneOS. I will never recommend GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS is not free software as long as you and your greedy victim-complex mafia control it. You think you're hot shit because you have all of these "privacy" YouTubers glazing you, you've got funding from Proton and from Motorola. But it's meaningless. Real truth-seekers who really care about protecting themselves don't like you because you are a spiteful and extremely manipulative person and your entire team is untrustworthy. I could've almost believed Copperhead was stolen if YOU weren't the one who said it. But every time YOU say something, I have to assume it's a lie. For all I know, you probably stole it. Because your behavior is indicative of someone who needs control over everything, the way you throw a fit at even the mere suggestion that you are not being worshiped, and weasel your way into places where you prey on people hoping to find solutions to problems that narcissists like you helped to create to begin with. Fuck you.

Big tech is trying to stop 'right to repair' in Colorado, but it's a terrible solution to lock downs and making things unrepairable or unrepairable by 3rd parties.

I'd normally prefer to let the end-user decide and vote with their dollars, but there is something to be said about intellectual property preventing the free market from functioning properly. As a consequence more often than not we end up with no good options or sometimes few good options.

Unfortunately the best solution I think we could push is getting rid of intellectual property with the exception of trademarks. Trademarks when used appropriately are geared at protecting the consumer from fraud. Intellectual property is utilized to ensure monopolies and duopolies and prevent solid competition from forming. The same thing can be said of regulations.

People often think companies like Facebook, Google, Apple, etc don't want regulation, but this is not true. Often they don't want it initially, but do want it later. Once a market has been established it's in those whom have built that market's interest to stop smaller competitors from entering. Barriers to competition in the market place are then pushed, ie regulation. Often it's claimed to be justified by "safety". It's really just fear mongering pushed by folks with an interest in minimizing competition.

One example is the number video rental stores in the 90s compared to today. That is to say I'd expect brick and mortar video rental stores to have declined and been replaced with thousands of online stores. This didn't happen because intellectual property is legally different from physical property. Anyone can start a brick and mortar rental business, but only those with billions can start an online one.

Yikes the Mises Institute kicked out Hans Hermann Hoppe.

Bunch of rtards, as they praise Javier Milei, the "most zionist president in the world" according to his own words.

At least one court clearly doesn't understand how DNS works. A DNS provider can't block anything... only an ISP can:

"This argument failed to convince the court, which found that the 'neutral and passive' nature of the DNS resolvers is simply irrelevant to Article L. 333-10. The law isn’t about liability at all. What matters is whether a service can help to block access to pirate sites, which DNS resolvers clearly can."

This is obviously completely wrong. Lets completely eliminate DNS be it from the ISP or a third party for the sake of explaining why. So one can add an IP to ones host file and the domain will resolve/function/work. It doesn't matter whether a DNS resolver stops resolving the domain. The user will still be able to access the site.

If you wanted to stop someone from coming in your house you wouldn't demand your address be removed from the phone book. You'd get a lock for your door. A lock will block an intruder from entering, but removing the address from the phone book will not. At best they can't look up your address via one particular means of obtaining it. There are other sources for obtaining the address of a home owner besides a phone book. Most cities / regions have websites that let users lookup the ownership of properties and this can also be used to locate a persons address independent of a phone book.

Removing an address from a phone book does NOT block someone from entering that address.

Thus there is a very distinct difference between an ISP and a DNS provider even though ISPs typically also provide DNS too.

"French law doesn’t require blocking measures to be perfect, as long as they stop a subset of the visitors to pirate sites"

But does this even actually stop anyone?

@coolboymew @RustyCrab man I wish we could go back to using websites like this. It used to be so much easier to navigate. Now it's stuff hidden in menus with a bunch of images you don't need.
Unified smartphone Ui/Desktop UI has really just made the internet so much worse.

/pol shit like this in a restaurant is always cringe. I don't hate the Orange Pedo any more/less than the Blue Pedo or Black Pedo before him. The owner is pissing off over half of the shop's customer base and only meaningfully appealing to the extreme.

I wouldn't eat there out of principal. If I see a rainbow/woman/black owned flag on Google Maps, I'll also avoid that particular shop. It's just as dumb as veteran owned. The identity of the business owner should mean nothing, only the quality of the product or service.

Really wish North America got a release of the WonderSwan.

We missed out on some classics.

@xianc78 The port of Evolution is supposed to be less bad than the 3D Dreamcast version in some ways, oddly enough, but I haven't played the Neo Geo version personally. SNK Gals is also okay for a handheld fighter.

Talk about big brother and the nanny surveillance state.

Unfortunately there is no hope in stopping this orwellian trend pretty much anywhere. At least not without like-minds that oppose it stepping up to the plate and gathering in regions to oppose it. We need to create a bastion of freedom somewhere.

This is not a new trend and has been ongoing over the past hundred plus years. First (probably not really the "first", but before either of our lifetimes) there was the hand written identification for cars, which turned into the license plate, and then vehicle registration, drivers licenses that were a response to bigotry against motor vehicle operators (NOT safety, there was no driving test written or road in many places even as late as the late 1960s), cameras constantly monitoring everyone and everything, and now tracking via cellular devices/automatic license plate recognition systems/and even now AI.

Not to mention (mandatory) social security, government education, health care (criminalizing and increasingly costly as a consequence), and more.

Much of the "safety" these things propose to ensure are little more than an illusion and often come at greater expense than individuals voluntary participation in similar non-government run programs.

While no state or country has even toyed with the idea of eliminating these things or evaluating their cost benefit ratio people have been flocking to New Hampshire to this end- a state selected by "free staters" who have been winning elections for the past decade plus. There are around 100 reps in New Hampshire in a 400-member house. 5 of 24 in the senate. Each election cycle more people move and in another decade we win.
