With all the police at that rally getting pummeled in courts and press, I imagine quite a few of them have become undercover after the fact.

The whole thing is ridiculous - they prosecute random people for going in a building like they were terrorists, while there's no prosecution about how the leadership sabotaged and abandoned the MPD officers - barely a word how it happened. The whole mob there is being used as whipping boys.

He's grateful to have lost both the domain name and the money. A thousand apologies from this wretched slave for making light of the Master!

Such is the state of modern populist heroism.

It's been true a long time. The ideal was an "encyclopedia anyone could edit" with "the sum of all human knowledge". Now it is 1000000 times more important to leave out what needs to be left out, than to include what needs to be included, so they use unlimited, creepy, secret means to track users, which necessitates blocking proxies. We have no idea what kind of tactics they really use, but what leaks from their vague descriptions of "behavioral characteristics" in their so-called "AN/I" board is that they are probably using (at least) browser fingerprinting tactics. But they also supplant with a strong dose of simply banning anything they're not sure about or don't understand.

Every for-profit is corrupt, every non-profit is corrupt, and a cabal of spies rules over them all.

Great, let me know if I can be of any help or need user testing. You'll get new IPv6 addresses with this release so you'll need to resubmit Ramble back to the internal services page on the website.

I don't think that's anime related?

Reminder that no one will ever fight back against any of this.

I'll try to get everything updated this week.

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

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.

That was an eye-opener. Thanks for sharing.

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.

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

It's a mental illness. I pity her.
(Do not encourage others mental illness by indulging them.)

He's only going to be in jail until the Left needs an on-demand riot, probably to draw attention away from another scheme.

It's a welcomed development, real or fake

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.

And straight to Protective Custody where for 23 hours a day he'll be locked up and then get an hour to spend in a rec cage doing chin-ups or shooting hoops alone.

I hope he's an introvert.
