I use old version of Pale Moon and Chromium for websites requiring a newer browser. Both seems ok.

All reviewers or streamers who get pre-release copies should be treated as promotions, not reviews.

That's why Dig Deeper and Spyware Watchdog are better sources. Although, you could use mitmproxy to check browsers listed in the Shadow Wiki, but it doesn't seem to work, at least for me, and I did try Windows 7, Trisquel, Xubuntu, Salix... maybe it actually doesn't work or I just can't install things with pip.

Zero methodology or explanation for how this conclusion was drawn.

Reply to Normal People are Beginning to Acknowledge Their Loss of Free Speech on the Internet by HMTg927
ZeroNet seemed to be doing very well two months ago with as many as 20,000 users on the network at once. Then those numbers suddenly began to drop precipitously.
These are the tidbits that would otherwise be lost to history. Movements on anonymous networks might be correlated with suspected spycraft and market manipulations. When the JIDF and bots are occupied, they tend to quickly drop their current targets.
Two months ago, gold started to climb back toward its ten-year high but didn't quite reach it, and also bitcoin began a sharper drop that took it back down to January's all-time high. Somebody with a bullet list of geopolitical shenanigans could probably connect a few more monetary dots.
Or maybe school let out early this year.

Nobody cares when I substantiate poignant points, so I offer them the same courtesy.

In what nation was DoubleVPN registered? If it’s a business from any of the Nine Eyes nations, they were required by law to have all data recorded from all use by all customers, forever.

It looks that way. We'll just have to see if any court cases cite evidence from this raid. The Pure VPN logging scandal was revealed when a court case cited how the FBI tracked down the defendant.

maybe logs are just a bluff from EuroPol to freak people out.

It depends on the claim. For example, if it's something that reinforces my beliefs, an information that I'm inclined to believe, that maybe I want to believe in, I have to follow up on the source, if I didn't do this I would end up living in a bubble like anyone who gets his news from Facebook. As you write, sometimes the source actually states the opposite of the claim, something like that happened on this website before.
What gets me mad is when I find out, by researching the topic afterwards, that someone I know IRL has told me some bullshit without showing to have any doubt regarding his statements. While after having a discussion I often look up if I was actually wrong, and if I was I usually let the other party know. Don't see what's the point of debating otherwise.

Doesn't sound like they actually took much then. If DoubleVPN accepted anonymous payment methods, the personal information they have is probably fake. The logs are a bit concerning, but from the wording it doesn't sound like IP were logged, if it's only usage statistics, there's not really anything EuroPol can do with it, except for maybe track the people who happens to be connected at the time of the server seizure.

I think marketeers job is to sell shitty products. Don't remember ever seeing an ad for an actual good product.

They use "media savvy" and "sophisticated" to cover their seething hatred of viewers avoiding what they call "the interruptive advertising format." They then describe unobtrusive ad copy as a "disruptive" method of marketing: evoking "an enchanted state" where "customers create or string their own stories together" instead of being cajoled, shamed, insulted, denigrated, or simply condemned for their appearance and beliefs.
This is peak marketeer cope. I wonder then they'll discover improving products to improve customer confidence, but then that wouldn't really be marketing.

Is the joke that this entire website is blocked by my ad blocker, since it’s literally spam? The joke being that everyone has adblockers and doesn’t even see ads in the first place, that is.

And being a singer will get you to all the wrong people. I truly pity her.

Probably just seeking some attention to maintain her popularity. Now anyone who didn't like her or don't care will be called non-binary-phobic.

Considering that her mom killed herself, she was bound to suffer from it mentally
Living her childhood in the west made things even worse

During the late PS2 to the PS3 era the translations were getting better (compared to PS1 generation) and stayed closed to the original version. It's only during the mid-PS4 generation when the SJWs started to infect the gaming industry and demanding these changes.

That's pretty harsh for acting according to procedure. Guess there really is no such thing as justice. The dude that shot John Lennon is also still in prison, because there is no such thing as justice.
