Did we even have spam and/or illegal stuff recently? ..does piracy count as illegal stuff?

Woops, I should have clarified. We've been the target of a couple random raids. One, from Voat, (because shortly after a new Voat member posted this: https://forum.searchvoat.co/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1315 and other similar stuff.

Piracy and stuff is fine. I just mean removing obvious spam, and obvious ultra illegal stuff like CP or posts about specific threats of violence, as well as posts asking for or offering illegal goods. This site is not a dark net marketplace. My provider has made it clear that linking TO suck marketplaces are okay and I believe some links already exist in that regards.

Finally. They had that v2 onion for years and couldn't be bothered to flip that one switch to make it v3.

Does it even work? I stopped using the v2 onion after it died for like a year or something.

A connected device keeps scanning you and your surrounding (and no mean to switch it off according to posts in apple forum) ... it sounds dodgy as. If Apple isn't spying on its users, it is not yet.

Apple opposes Right to Repair (1, 2) and slows down old phones (NPR, BBC) which leads to people buying new phones earlier which is shit for the environment and of course not really owning a product you bought is shit, drove their factory workers to suicde (The Guardian), they are anti-competitive with their app-store, their products are overpriced, blablabla - don't buy Apple.

(yeah yeah, Apple isn't the worst, but that doesn't validate buying their crap or even claiming it's "good")

No worries about downtime.
Not sure how to grow a site, but I'm trying to contribute. Even if its kind of like talking to a void sometimes. I'm also not having that much time in a day I can waste on the Internet, so there's that.

I don't see any evidence for expressions or for uploading to the cloud. However, this site suffers from a confusing interface and the top link points me here where I think sometimes on a post you think it's going to link some other article when you submit it, and instead it links to the article thread as here. So if there is another article, please link to it.

It seems like the company would be violating its fiduciary duty to its stockholders not to be making a stockpile of this stuff to sell to secret agents. Imagine Trump able to see, in real time, the aggregated and individual reactions of every person watching his speech while on a phone. Imagine knowing which women are secretly impatient or contemptuous while talking to their boyfriends, and being ready to make the first move. Or the same for company mergers with billions in stock value in play. Possibilities are endless and it would be immoral for the company not to make money off that.

I watched both the CringeTok and browsed the PDF, there's literally nothing mentioned about facial expressions. But hey, iPhones are still shit, so let's just not buy them, that's the only solution for now.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Also here is my autist of the day https://sftn.github.io/ Reading stuff like this touches my soul almost as deep as Baudrillard or Crowley does, and those are supposed to be in every library. So it's not like stuff disappears, more like it becomes so strange that no one can read it and comprehend, the reader itself disappears. One should take care to preserve their sanity, no amount of terabytes of storage will help with that.

Scientific establishment had wasted their credibility, just like the boy who cried wolf. And now their puppeteers have to waste money on these nicely animated glittering videos full of shit and spread them through disinformation network that bans opposition. Talk about unrelated non-issues and introduce as the matter of course climate hoax and covaids, factless conclusions that require your trust but afraid to stand in the light of open discussion and investigation.

In the middle the shill was talking about 'established' facts of science that no one should touch exactly because they're established and parrots example with g, so here is another inconvenient video for you https://worldtruthvideos.org/watch/banned-ted-talk-the-science-delusion-rupert-sheldrake_M8cdRnJkMgm2VNB.html apparently scientific establishment was very unhappy with it.

Also it's not about money, it's about power and control. TL;DW agenda 21.

The difficult part is figuring things out. You'd be amazed how easy stuff is once someone else has figured it all out. Scientific papers mostly are written to be obtuse on purpose. But they don't matter. The data the paper is based on matters.

Scientific papers remind me of translators that want to be clever in their subs. I watch a lot of foreign language stuff and there have been occasions, when I was understanding the original language that I don't actually speak for a sentence, but couldn't make sense of the English subtitles under it.

Science really isn't that hard. There's just some gatekeeping involved, but once you see past the bullshit, it's fairly simple. And yes, I trust myself more than journalists to understand the underlying data.

As for climate stuff, I haven't found any data that paints the picture the media is selling. I keep asking for data when the topic comes up, but no one has been able to provide anything so far proving that humans influence the climate. Yeah, temperatures go up (global warming), but then not consistently, so the buzz word got changed, but that's just climate in general. Some glaciers have been melting for hundreds of years and I've also heard that we are at the end of an Ice Age. Earth had a couple of those before humans even were around. And yeah, when they end things tend to get warmer.

By the way, did you hear what happened to the ozone hole? This was all over the media some twenty odd years ago with the goal to ban something and then they did and everyone just stopped talking about it. I'm pretty sure it's still there, though. But I guess no one wants to use it's existence to ban something anymore.
