Well, this site is available via the clearnet and my name is on the bills that pays for this place to stay online. If it's legal, it's fine. This site was never intended to be a home for things like illegal marketplaces and such. The idea behind it was a proof of concept of multi-network accessibility of a reddit-like site and an emphasis on privacy. That's why /f/privacy is the main forum and the one I post to the most.

For a true 'free for all' type experience, I'm sure there are places on Tor that are more open to it. This site isn't one of them and has never been promoted as such.

You can view the Global Moderation Log (nav bar up top) to see what things I remove. It's mostly spam.

It’s shit.

Yes it is interesting... What I really detest though are people who speculate something controversial without any actual evidence. Dots often are connected where there is actually no thread. Of course ANYTHING (literally) is possible, but I like to see why exactly and what was found. What some present as "evidence" is too flimsy.

Take just providing information to the Swiss authorities - of course any legal organisation will have to state that, but they require formal warrants, and they can only provide what they have. It does not mean they can actually decrypt the contents of your mail and provide it. Which is why many organisations prefer to have as little access as possible, and not be able to decrypt information. Outside of the USA, Russia, and China, most countries legally do not allow fishing expeditions by the authorities to just see what they can fine, there has to be something of legal substance against an identified individual.

I look rather at examples like Facebook's Cambridge Analytica - broadly reported with the evidence found to actual events and outcomes. That was one of the vents that made me leave Facebook altogether. WhatsApps' terms and conditions that stated they would share my metadata to Facebook as well as their 3rd party partners - I ledt WhatsApp.

I'm certainly going to keep an eye open anything that does develop around ProtonMail though, and see if anything in that report actually gains traction.

OnePlus 8 Pro. The hardware is good (except for overheating when recording long videos), the software has many small issues that makes it hard to recommend. Switching apps sometimes it'll freeze and you have to press the recent button (square) then back to the app to make it respond. The phone will become laggy after 1-2 weeks without restart. The screen turns yellow whenever an HDR video is played. It also doesn't have a one-handed mode, since it's a big phone, makes reaching the corners with 1 hand almost impossible. Also VPN app gets killed randomly, so you lose connection without notice.

This phone is 8/10 hardware, but 5/10 software. Maybe when there are stable third party ROM for it that solves these issues, then it'll be worth buying.

I'd like to think most people here are inherently good. In fact, I'd say people in general are inherently good regardless of their political beliefs or their anonymous online personas.

I was planning on getting a Pixel 4a running grapheneOS then i remember i still had my old burner taped to the ceiling in my closet so and my phone was becoming a time suck so i switched to the flip phone. the flip phone has a modern os/rom i could browse the wired but i don’t. i just use it for simple texts but mainly calls. i do miss having a good camera in my pocket though. so i wouldn’t be suprised if in a couple months i switch back to a dumb phone.

don’t i know it

Apple is shit.

This is a phishing link. The real link is dark.win.

Never heard of it. Sounds interesting.

Dumb phone, same one for over five years.

Pixel 3a XL with CalyxOS, though maybe I'll get a flip phone when I won't have to rely on my phone so much (when I'll get a new laptop).

I want to watch fights for the throne of reddit-like sites between RAMBLE and lemmy, just for my fun! RAMBLE to be available for good people more and more.

Btw, did Raddle fight lemmy for their anarchism, communism or something? :D

Galaxy S10. Pretty standard. I replace my phone maybe once every 5 or 6 years, when using it becomes cumbersome. To put it in perspective, my first smart phone was a S3 which I got as a work phone, then I replaced it with a Huawei something or another (yeah yeah, China bad. I got it. ) and then this S10.

When it comes time to replace it it'll probably be with something I can harden a bit more. I don't use much of the 'smart' features of the phone anyhow, outside of browsing the web, Signal or the camera which I still think is fantastic for a phone.

Though I do sort of miss the simplicity of my old Nokia brick and Cingular (remember them, anyone?) flip phone. I've had a few random dumb pre-paid phones years ago too since I was always too poor to afford a proper phone on a plan. I know that they still make and produce flip phones too, my old job had shared flip-phones for the shift supervisors to carry around and used in some other cases for like emergency or if the phone system went out. I remember when the old ones with the broken buttons, cracked bodies and fucked up screens got replaced with brand new Verizon flip phones. I felt like was a teenager again.

Yes I agree and I've seen pretty bad stuff on other networks

They're not horrible for short term use, which I think is where they likely shine the most. A quick run or workout at the gym? Sure. A companion to a multi-day backpacking trip? Trail running? Or even just listening to music for 8 hours for a normal work shift? Not so much.

There is definitely a market for them. I see them all the time. People seem to like them, or at least want to be seen with them in. Personal andecote for sure, but I don't recall going to the store or just taking a walk down the street and seeing this many people with wired earbuds just five years ago. I think it has to partially due to marketing and people's desire to be seen with new stuff from the brands they're loyal to. Galaxy Buds and Apple's Airpods are pretty recognizable. Seems almost just as much of a fashion accessory nowadays similar to how Beats headphones were previously.

Fair point. This could be truly free reign but then this site would just be flooded with cp and honeypots. Rambler will do what he has to do to not get in legal trouble. I think the level of freedom we have on this site surpasses a lot of other sites while still maintaining quality.

Interesting... I don't think "are stupid" is a good reason but the other reasons are pretty sound, and you could add they are unhealthy to wear for very long periods of time. On headphone side they are very bulky (not compact).

Must say I do like wireless earbuds though and have not had any of the problems apart from the exorbitant cost based on what you get vs its useful lifetime, and yes some have very short battery time (I've always only chosen 6 - 8 hour models for that reason).

I suppose the look/feel though does come down to personal preference. Wireless earbuds though, do have a lot of room for improvement still.

To be fair, Ramble also has some limitations, so neither platform has "anything goes"?

From Ramble's rules: "some things are just plain illegal and the owners of this community do not wish to be held legally liable to those who misinterpret this website's accessibility via 'the dark net' meaning that it's some sort of unmoderated free-for-all".

Legality differs from country to country and in my country we have very strict laws for example against any form of discrimination, incitements to violence or crime, selling stolen goods, etc. So this does restrict many then fully participating on a "free for all platform". So every user does need to make a judgement call based on their own values and what their country's Constitution or laws state.

"Any form of censorship" in my view then includes the removal of such attempts to sell illegal goods, to someone discriminating against another based on age, gender, sexual preference, religion, political beliefs, etc. Censorship is just a loaded term for moderation. They are exactly the same thing based on rules that exist on a site or within a country.

That's really useful to know, and wish Samsung promoted that more. That's certainly something I'd consider buying then.

That's actually a good idea, thanks!

Your children are property of Communism-19.

tuck the wire through your shirt

if it has any type of censorship it sucks. from what i understand lemmy does. so it sucks.
