Reply to Clearview's Dangerous Misreading of the First Amendment Could Spell the End of Privacy Laws by Rambler
The ACLU is wrong here. They have been weakening on free speech issues, and the consequence is that they fall for related fallacies.
Suppose the company simply sold an index of where to find face photos for various people. Suppose someone with this list tripped a web archive like archive.is to store each photo. Suppose another person writes a tool that can pull up the face photo and put it on the left of your screen, leaving you free to compare it to a photo on the right. And suppose lastly you've downloaded and installed a free GPL software program that lets you compare the faces according to biometrics and see if they are the same. Who committed the crime?
Now that is NOT to say I want these bastards tracking faces all over the world. But we must first rule out the impossible before we can focus our attention on what is left. If we can't keep a company from compiling faceprints, what can we do??? Like DUH, we can keep people from USING THEM!
Advantages of building the wall there include the millions of people who will be duped or forced into giving "consent" by countless very important organizations, like employers, who aren't "protected" by the censorship-level restriction.
So what am I saying? Well, I'm saying you can't discriminate against a customer or employee for refusing to be faceprinted, or force them to submit to biometric comparisons. They have to make accommodations. It is at the same level as barring businesses from discriminating by race or even handicap. Americans don't like to think of some punk from the government trying to tell Business who they can do Business with, but there it is. A business that surreptitiously looks up faces to give one person a discount over another should be treated exactly the same - legally and emotionally - as a business that charges higher prices if you are black or female.

This seems to be making the rounds, but I doubt Google usage will drop at all. It wouldn't surprise me if the people affected by this even avidly use Google Chrome as their main browser.

Apparently some gay people, why else would we be hearing from them so much all the time?

Reply to comment by Aurelio in if lgbt people's existence offends you, then fuck off. by gamergirl
It's pretty simple. No straight guy wants to look at gay porn featuring men. And since the only difference between gay and straight men is the sexuality part, the only reason to draw attention to this difference is sexual.
So there's no surprise in the rejection received. If you don't reduce yourself to your sexuality, neither will anyone else. You may get called a faggot, but you also may get called a motherfucker. Both are curse words not to be taken literally.

Reply to Questions about GOSTcoin by bolaris
The questions you've asked are the same questions I've wondered myself.
They have a reddit community: https://old.reddit.com/r/GOSTCoin/ Two posts, both 3 years ago.
Hopefully someone will come along and give us some details, but I wouldn't be dumping my 401K into GOSTcoin anytime soon. :)

Most suspicious thing about DDG is the marketing push. Where did the money for that come from? That, and it's US based and to my knowledge not completely open source, so one should assume it to be compromised by default.

Reply to comment by mr4channer in How to get Thunderbird to work over TOR? by Rambler
This is the correct answer. Thunderbird has had some hideous CVE over the years, and still has some major problems. Claws-Mail just works.
