$300,000/mo

I find it hard to believe they could be generating that much revenue legitimately.

I think they were a political hot potato. Hosting providers likely don't want to risk their payment processors.

I think I read that they were paying AWS upwards of $300,000/mo for services.

Definitely a much larger operation than I had previously though. A client that big should have had providers, globally, drooling over the idea of a big sale.

Manga is Fate/stay night (likely from some doujin), anime that doesn't give a fuck is Kore wa Zombie desu ka. In the top corner there's Strike the Blood.

I suspect they went with the cheapest alternative that would get them back online. Having various services hosted across many different countries only helps with the freedom of information.

While I generally agree, I think the problem with that theory is the three letter agencies are allowed to operate with impunity outside of the U.S. They may be operating with impunity inside the U.S. already, but they are violating the law by doing so. Either way, real news about the world is about to become a whole lot more sparse than a few years ago.

After seeing Zuckerberg tape over his webcam, I started taping over it on everything. If a billionaire tech CEO like Zuckerberg doesn't trust his IT to lock down his machine, no one should.

I guess everyone is just going to proceed with this fraud.

The left calls them White cis Christian men, and the right takes 5 seconds to check and find out they are actually Jewish. The left wants to protect the jews and destroy white people because wanting to take down rich jews is antisemitic, but "you can't be racist against white people"

Sue Apple about Twitter! https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/27/twitter-walkout-wileys-anti-semitic-tweets.html

Apple users only really have themselves to blame.

I wonder which of these web alternatives will "win" and become mainstream. It's interesting seeing them over time, but it's kind of sad that freenet has been doing this for 20 years but never gained any traction.

Lmao, I still have a bunch of tiktoks saved where the guy is filling out like 7 ballots for Biden. I wonder if he ever got caught.

The goyim angered the rulers.

Now it's time for payback.

Looks pretty good, is there an SVG version of this? It could be used as a logo for Ramble... maybe

I just use Nemo, when I used to use more cli programs, I liked ranger

The people who were rioting or doing other seriously illegal things without hiding their identity weren't being too smart.

But I understand the people who just walked in without covering their face. For those people, it was a simple act of civil disobedience. Generally people do show their face while engaging in acts of civil disobedience and accept the possibility of being arrested. No one says "LOL Rosa Parks, what an idiot. She should have worn a hat and wrapped a scarf around her face before she sat on the bus. Then she should have gotten off at a stop before they could arrest her. But the idiot got caught LOL".

If actual violence happens every now and then, that gives proof that the implicit threat is actually real. I think before this happened, politicians believed that conservatives were too committed to law and order to pose any real threat. Maybe now, instead of just cowing to the left's demands out of fear, decisions will be more balanced and they will weigh the potential reaction of both sides.

The left has had the advantage when demanding things for a while because people know the left can turn violent on a dime. Some of us on the right noticed that after the riots this year, corporations and politicians were suddenly trying very hard to prove how much they support BLM and the demand to defund the police was met in multiple cities. So it's no wonder that some Trump supporters decided that they ought to try rioting as well. Apparently it is effective.

Get yourself a full body neon green body suit. That'll take care of your identifying features.

Basically: Leave your phone at home or faraday bag that shit, don't talk to press, don't post selfies on social media, don't be uniquely identifiable (visible tattoos, etc).

Same way all the idiots in Seattle/Portland/etc got arrested when throwing molotovs at police, looting stores, setting shit on fire and being dumb. Many are just one virtue signaling Instagram post away from incrimination.

If you're going to do illegal stuff, probably best to not let yourself be easily tracked regardless of political belief. Weird concept.

When it comes to Chinese stuff, I mainly watch movies like "the bravest" and "the wondering earth" not to mention martial arts movies like ip man

Never read books or watched animated stuff, but I've heard about Reverend insanity but only in name

The only two Chinese animations I've seen were a 3d animated series called "Ling long: incarnation" and an anime-style show called "the uncharted walker" both were pretty good

There was also another 3d animation, can't remember its name and I only saw one or two episodes where a teenage boy woke up in a desolate city where maniacs are killing each other, iirc there was a man (or was it a woman?) with a chainsaw trying to kill him and a pink haired girl helping him, it was an interesting show, if I managed to remember it's name, I'll look for the rest of episodes

Intelli Saiko.

Who is she?

Federated systems have the potential to be the future.

Wit Studio does amazing work. Unfortunately Vinland Saga was a pretty mediocre story with the whole slavery-is-bad and people-owning-slaves-are-evil-incarnate. Moral busybodying like that takes you out of the story.

But if the story checks out it could be amazing. Unfortunately, for the past decade there haven't been all that many great stories coming out of Japan. Nowadays I'll read more Chinese stuff than Japanese. Reverend Insanity for example is so amazing that reading it was a major mistake, since now everything else feels like garbage in comparison.

Maybe the more crucial part was that a second in I recognized the entire speech from Jojo. Usually I can kind of zone out, but it's Jojo, so there's that.
