That sounds like the classic "this isn't child porn ... it's just a natural number in base two."

I guess it's the end, it was fun couple of months, but when admin doesn't care and invites police for takeover, I ain't gonna stay to see the same shit unfolding again. Naturally, I'm not blaming you, your own life should always take priority. Take care.

Man, I miss CGRUndertow. It was rushed reviews if you can even call it that, but it was an entertaining take on video games.

SInce 2017 for their Animojis, lots of links. But now in 2021 they use pupil and gaze track to dim screen, and encode 3d faces to cloud. They call the 30,000 plotted 3d pixels... NOT A PHOTO in court documents, when they can be trivially used to make a accurate photo from the 30,000 plotted points.

They did, often since 2017, scan faces for 30,000 data points in 3d FOR EMOTION TRACKING in Animojis in 2017 and later, but now in 2021 they do it on home screen and measure pupil and study gaze direction.
Learn and read. Lots of links support all I just typed.

Fuck that localization. This is why Nintendo is not any better than Sony IMO. I have accepted the fact that games developed from 2018 and on will be heavily censored. The SJWs has infiltrated the gaming industry too deep, it's like cancer taking over the functioning organs. They only thing we can do at this point is to wait for the gaming industry to crash, then the SJWs will move on to another bigger target (hopefully) and gaming will be the niche hobby that won't attract mainstream attention.
Hopefully when the rebirth happens, the devs are smart enough to implement Region Lock again. I learned Japanese to watch anime and play JRPG, SJWs and game urinalists aren't going to do that, combined with Region Locked game that requires you to either import the game and console from Japan or to find a jailbreakable console, the attention to these games will be much less.

The v2 onion still works, but might cease to after 2021-10-15, when v2 stops working after an update.

I just got lost on their page for like 2 hours.
The site itself is well-made, the articles interesting (damn, now I want a boat too) and Devine is probably the only person on the planet using Plan 9 as his daily driver (nevertheless, based).

Have you tried scripting it? (i.e if the VM goes down then the script connects via VNC or whatever you're using and inputs the passwords)

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.

Reply to DuckDuckGo v3 onion by vistingghost
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.

Crafting a bash script is very satisfying, especially one liner chained bash command.

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.

Imagine being so fucking jewish that you believe anything you described is moral, legal, or even remotely acceptable from a business perspective.

They admitted nothing. It’s not happening. You’re just libeling.

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")

I think that I could help, since I'm pretty much browsing all new posts multiple times a day, even commenting on some of them. That downtime did scare me, though.

Reply to Federal government proposes website-blocking system for piracy websites by Rambler
This is utterly useless if crypto, Tor, VPNs are legal. They have to go all the way China or lose on a disqualification. Which do you think?
