Reply to Idaho modern oldtimer builds underground & solar $50 houses by Rambler

Good book still. I have it in my library.

No way you can build the stuff he did today for anywhere near $50 or $500. Inflation and monetary theft is the cause. Nonetheless, can build it cheap by mall mentality cul de sucks standards.

Off grid and away from the muckity mucks is looking more like sane path each passing day.

Microsoft talking about disinformation?????? What do we have here...

We have a once monopoly company, plus a 'creative' company that is so far up average internet users a$$ with ads and profiling, then the mouthpiece of MI-6.

Blah blah blah.

Anti fake news.

When did Microsoft ever care about open source and standards? Had to reverse engineer much of their stuff to have Open Source alternatives and viewers.

Fuck these companies. Fuck their founders. Fuck that fake organization too.

Unfortunately there is little I can do in terms of modifying the code. I'm not a developer so custom development to the software is beyond the scope of what I can offer as a solution.

Best I can do is manual tagging of NSFW content that makes it to the front page. Though lately I've not really seen much content that is that concerning on the front page.

Never too late to adopt. Widows XP sp3 was the last Windows OS I've ran, and haven't looked back since. Though I'll admit that I like simple desktop environments like MATE and XFCE to replicate the classic and familiar navigation that I grew used to from Windows NT 3.1, 95, 98, 2000 and XP.

For newcomers you can't really go wrong with something like Pop_OS, Ubuntu or Mint. They seem to have good support and are really new-user friendly communities behind them.

I've already lost track of how many spy codes are in images. There are so many ways of burying "metadata" in those formats - it's what they were MADE for - and programs that claim to "strip" it are probably "accidentally" forgetting something.

This looks like one more whack at it - I'm not sure from reading that it is a tremendously NEW thing - I'm not sure how they plan to change, say, a .GIF file (not that that didn't have open-ended spy data storage protocols built in already). Are they doing so?

I was one of the ones to contact you directly via #saltr. My main focus is on growing the i2p network. I run an i2p site tracker that provides nearly real time status of any i2p website. http://notbob.i2p

This puts me in a similar situation as you. Being forced to say "Yeah, no" from time to time. IE, ground rules.

What I've done is to outright ban anything that involves the exploitation of real children. Then, I put a warning on things that I would think the community as a whole would find offensive. But, that's all it is. A warning. I still provide the keys to get to those sites. It's more of a "Do you really want this?" And, if the person does. Whatever. Not my worry.

And this is where the problem lies, and why I contacted Rambler. I'm an active user on ramble. I enjoy some of the content here. But, there is some that I'd simply rather not see. I don't care if it's here. I just don't want to have to look at it. Neither do new i2p users who are looking for cool stuff to find on the network.

One day I loaded ramble.i2p and my session had expired. I saw things that made me tempted to put the warning tag on ramble.i2p. I didn't Instead I contacted Ramble directly.

Apparently I was not the only one.

I had suggested a more curated approach to what appears on the front page. Note, I am not saying limit free speech. I'm just saying limit what the entry experience is. The first page really matters to new users.

There was discussion in this post about a NSFW tag. I think that would work nicely. With the only real effect of the tag is it preventing said items from appearing on the front page.

Wahaha suggested a few posts from each forum at random. I like that idea. This prevents any one group from taking up the entire front page.

In the end, a mix of the two would likely be the best solution.

It's a hard call. It really is.

Apple has a falwless securty record on contents of your iPhone.

They enhance that part every year, annoying FBI. Read all the court battles in the news of FBI vs Apple regarding getting into iPhones and getting into iCloud

In fact , they even now in 2021 suddenly map EVERY attempt to have google "safe browsing" go through a single apple proxy that uses a second layer of obfuscation and hash on that to make no ones browsing ever trackable by Google.

you are probably right :apple now has spy circuits built into their chips for audio to text, and circuits to do face identification built into chip, and this month apple big sur OS on m1 macs is VERY HARD to run older unsigned code and very very hard to turn off "SIP" elements to modify kernel files, or even use a debugger, and if you do turn off SIP, you must perform an action from the spy software inside the m1 mac that makes machine never load the new iOS compatibility engine code.

apple iCloud might be safe from FBI, but soon Apple china will maybe own all of you.

Reply to Sending clear messages is important in relationships by Wahaha

In today's liberated, demeaning to anyone exhibiting interest as brutish, sending clear signals like this is mandatory.

Also need to take a photo as receipt to prove you had consent.

That's why my phone is filled with barely dressed people behaving poorly.

About that article.. seems like these women simply shouldn't have divorced the guy they already had. Why was divorce made legal anyway. Seems to have only been a major demerit for society.
