The lack of an OS in the fourth panel kinda bothers me.

The search and RSS feeds could certainly be better, I agree.

For search, the best thing to do now is do something like this:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Aramble.pw%2Ff%2Fprivacy+signal+app&t=h_&ia=web

Search query: site:ramble.pw/f/privacy signal app and that'll search /f/privacy for posts/threads containing, 'signal app'. The site gets crawled on the other networks too, I believe you can do the same query with legwork.i2p as well.

I really have been surprised they haven't done MUCH more. The entire history of Bitcoin transactions is recorded publicly. If someone paid a coin in ransom, every subsequent transaction with that coin can be tracked back to it. I know the bitcoin banks do "mixing", but to me that just seems to be a wild card -- the feds could do what they hope, which is treat the new coins like they are born innocent by the miracle of mixing, as they seem to do now. But they could also try to tax the fraction of each coin's value that came from ransom, or use asset forfeiture on the coins like they do a yacht with a reefer in a back cabin, or declare every owner of every descendant coin jointly and severally liable for all the ransom-related damages, even if most of the money can't be found. I mean, they have a LOT of cards to play, and I don't understand why they held off for so long.

This is what every motherfucker on Facebook deserves. Sorry...

There is something very bizarre about the payments racket. I don't have any understanding of how utterly vile platforms like PayPal, which claims a unilateral right to rob anyone of $2500 for any reason it sees fit, ever were able to come to exist, let alone how they exclude alternatives.

I don't even understand why just plain mailing money is out of fashion. I mean, if you put a $20 in an envelope, and it doesn't arrive 1.4% of the time, how does that differ from paying 1.4% of your purchase in tribute to the credit card monopoly?

But apart from that, anybody anywhere who has any resource could be a payment processor of sorts. Doesn't have to be cryptocurrency. I mean, if you buy $50 in gold from Bob's Pawn Shop and say ship it to your buddy at Daily Stormer, that's a way to make a payment, isn't it? You just need to have some solid agreement about what the going market rate for the gold is, and people willing to work on low margins.

Yes, biology is weird that way.

The other guy driving the FD should be Kindaichi.

same i like to consider myself independent because i have liberal ideals but also conservative ones

Oof, as a Biology major this hurts. The definition of "Species" is pretty loose really, it just means members of a similar gene pool that are able to breed with each other. There are 6 different ways "not breeding together" is defined, two of them being "Sexual Selection" and "Mechanical incompatibility"

Those two deer, if someone were to mix their gametes in a petri dish could probably produce offspring, but if they live in the same region they are likely classified as separate species because they just don't mate. Perhaps they give off different mating hormones, and don't recognize members of the other species as potential sexual partners, or due to height differences, penis/vagina size differences, they physically cannot have sex.

Even tho humans look very different none of the 6 types of species separation apply to us. Ethnic groups are more like different breeds of dogs.

I think it's futile to measure China by our morals. They have an entire billion people more than the US. (US: 0.4billion, China: 1.4billion people)

And they have less space. It's inevitable that life is cheap in China. If the reality of your life is that other people ain't precious, but wastes of space, obviously your morals will differ. That's also what allows them to dabble in eugenics and create enhanced humans.

Yikes.

It's a tricky geopolitical calculation, but overall I'm on board with empowering China's competitors. Nothing against China per se, they just need roadblocks until they ditch the concentration camps. This is good news about Biden, I think. I had feared Trump was the only one to go after China. So... thanks for the article!

Schadenfreude intensifies.

Nice.

I havent post about broot in order to compare with other file-manager. Broot is another file-manager, that does things diferently, pretty much that!

So is ranger: https://ramble.pw/f/linux/1213/ranger-the-aesthetic-way-to-manage-files-on-linux

What are the advantages Broot has over ranger?

Best file-sharing, messages and IRC chat server.

Why not? Saw the site for the first time today and I read two interesting articles already. Second one: https://dailystormer.su/biden-administration-makes-immediate-point-to-contact-fake-country-of-taiwan/

Yes

sorry im too tired of debating at this point but ill leave you with this. penis

I already created ramble.pw/f/funny

Guess this guy was just shown the door. http://archive.is/VZxxU

Didn't know where I should post this, and didn't feel like creating a forum for comical things like this.

Well, maybe he'll understand the problem a bit better now.

Wouldn't it be better to use i2pd on a vps?

I don't endorse The Daily Stormer, but this open letter to DLive was an interesting read. Pretty sure it was written by Anglin and he's just acting like it's a guest post as a joke.

Whatever you think about the site, it was the free speech canary in the coal mine. Few spoke out against the massive de-platforming campaign when it happened, so a dangerous precedent was allowed to be set.
