I posted the same shit and got two upvotes. Somebody posts under "Hitler was right" and thinks it only stops on the race angle, and they get 4? This kind of shit is why I never believed in upvotes. The only posts I was ever proud of on Reddit were the ones that got -50 or better.

Reply to Karen by Wahaha

I don't get it. The useful thing about "Karen" is it has become a seemingly not-get-you-fired synonym for the old-fashioned B-word. If somebody is giving you trouble, just say he's a son of a Karen.

I was always anti Trump but the Democrats are ridiculous with this. The people invading the Capitol didn't actually shoot anybody - some of them smeared feces and broke things, which makes those people rioters, not insurrectionists. Compare and contrast the nighttime revelers after police shootings last summer - the Trumpers didn't even do an arson! A few were burglars or looters taking laptops and such, but rare. Then there's the people who walked in and milled around, smoked pot, took pictures of themselves in the rotunda with their flags. Those aren't rioters, they're at worst trespassers, and you can debate how trespassing it is if the Capitol cops stood aside and let you in. (Not so much if you crawled in a broken window) And then there's the whole misguided crowd outside the Capitol, who might be described as dupes and morons, but not criminals, despite those who make out like it's a heinous crime for somebody to believe his coup-conniving President and his pack of lies.

The Democrats should be focusing on a couple of people who were violent toward cops, stole voter letters to their representatives or defaced the Capitol, leave the rest alone, and get to the REAL issue of what so-called leadership of the Capitol cops told half of them to go home and relax and left the other half getting beaten up and yelling futilely for help while saying they needed no help from anyone. Because those leaders were the only real traitors in the whole event.

The ultrasound isn't nominally designed to harm hearing - the point they have for including it is spyware monitoring of "air gapped" devices. They seem to have turned it down a little - I remember ten years ago the ultrasound from my old computer was severe enough I could hear if a game of Dwarf Fortress had paused itself (a stupid thing it loves to do) despite it having sound disabled, the speaker muted, and the display window completely minimized out of sight. Well, either they turned it down or my ability to hear ultrasound is waning, but I still hear it when bringing the computer out of hibernation - it just seems more focused on transmitting some ID code and finishing. I assume it's part of the OS, or at least, I never found a visible sign of it.

Fuck Shapiro and fuck the narrative that they were "attacking democracy" or something. Revolting after a fraud riddled untrustworthy election is not immoral. If anything, it's a moral duty. When you can't trust elections, direct action is all you have. There are different forms that direct action can take, many of them non-violent, and I'm not saying that people who attacked police did the correct thing. But some kind of strong reaction was necessary to show that the American people would not just quietly put up with all that happened during that election. This seems to have basically been a fed trap to crush dissent, and I don't think this was the best thing to do, but most of the people involved had the pure and good intent of fighting for fair and trustworthy elections.

"Chris Chan" is a very bizarre and sad rabbit hole to go down. Parts of it are funny in a dark way I admit.

Chris used to be quite socially conservative but he's VERY autistic and impressionable. People on Kiwifarms relentlessly bullied him for years and years. Some of his trolls convinced him that he should just transition into a woman since he failed as a man. I don't know whether Chris would be trans if not for all the relentless manipulation and harassment over the years. Sadistic trolls have manipulated him into believing and doing all sorts of things. The "idea guys" really distorted his sense of reality because they convinced him that cartoons are real and there is going to be a "dimensional merge" where the cartoon world merges with the real word.

The woman who recorded the call where he admits to raping his mother is probably even more dangerous to society than he is. She has fed parents and some suspect that is the reason for the sophisticated DDoS attack on Kiwifarms. So I don't know whether news about her will reach the mainstream press. If it does, they will describe her as a white supremacist and use her to go after Kiwifarms and build support for online censorship https://encyclopediadramatica.online/Isabella_Loretta_Janke

It's possible that she encouraged him to rape his mother. I don't mean to defend him too much though. I saw a video where he was talking to his mom as if she was a puppy or a small child so it's clear to me that he knew his mom was in more of a childlike state than himself. And his only true female friend ever complained to him in an email about him frequently touching her without consent. But the way some of his trolls have manipulated him is really evil. I'm not too sympathetic towards him specifically but there should be more help for people like him.

The firms, which include Twitter (TWTR.N) and Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) YouTube, share "hashes," unique numerical representations of original pieces of content that have been removed from their services. Other platforms use these to identify the same content on their own sites in order to review or remove it.

I can think of one way to get around this but it has some downsides for privacy so I think it should be used carefully and only when necessary.

You can open up a picture with Notepad++ or another text editor and add whatever text you want so that the hash will be different and not match what's in their database. You could even add a hidden message if you want. You could add hidden messages to other files too using steganography techniques and that would change the hash.

The downside is that now the file is more traceable. So lets say someone posts some meme about vaccines on poal but they edit it to include the text "Death to all jews" when you open it in notepad. Someone else saves it and shares it on Facebook without knowing about the hidden text. Now if this system is set up to track image hashes across platforms, the feds know that the facebook user either got that image from poal or got it from someone else who got it from there. The exact same picture could be on lots of other platforms but they would know from the hash where this particular user got it from.

GOST is a Russian standards system, pretty much like ANSI is in the US. According to their website, their coin uses GOST standards for cryptogrpahy, therefore is named after it. Their subreddit was banned 2 months ago and they still have the dead link on their site, so I suppose it's pretty much inactive.
You might find more info from their github page: https://github.com/GOSTSec/

A Nokia smartphone because:

  1. They are cheap
  2. All Nokia smartphones guarantee three years of security upgrades, something very rare in cheap Android phones, this is usually reserved to high end models.
  3. They are not owned by the Chinese. The brand is owned by Microsoft and they sold to HMD Global, a Finnish company, the rights to build phones with the brand.

HMD Global announces three years of OS updates for mid-range Nokia devices https://www.notebookcheck.net/HMD-Global-announces-three-years-of-OS-updates-for-mid-range-Nokia-devices-two-years-for-budget-handsets-and-not-necessarily-anything-for-the-Nokia-C-series.531561.0.html

The U.S. had a choice. Freedom or tyranny. The purity of abandoning the strange doctrine that speech, that information is inherently evil, rather than evidence of evil. Or censorship that devours everything, destroys everything, collaborates with every tyrant around the world.

And we see how they chose.

The ban on child porn creates a market for child porn and the fresh abuse of children to make those images from scratch, like printing money. The refusal to acknowledge a private space - ANYWHERE - means that foreign governments can just go ahead and send their notices that the Hanzi for "Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times" looks like a cartoon child rape, which of course is JUST AS BAD as a real one. It doesn't matter whether children are raped, but whether people THINK about them getting raped, let alone SEE them getting raped and start asking inconvenient questions about whether there is something they could actually DO to stop it.

This is the society where colleges control dissemination of information with an iron fist, lest something politically incorrect be said, even if it means that students have to play in Covid-infested classrooms to get something approximating an educational experience.

This is the society that never goes to China with anything but demands that they censor the software pirates, censor the servers doing lookups for racist websites, censor the cruelty to animals, crack down on drugs and products that might compete with name brands ... then says look at us, we stand for FREEDOM.

Now, nobody sane trusted Apple anyway, and yet, emergencies come up and security tossed to the winds. If you're a dissident from another country facing constant deportation, or some nutcase trying to protest a pipeline or an election or a race issue, I bet you have a lot of emergencies.

This isn't the first, maybe not even the worst. The CARS.

We got NOBODY. The internet must burn, the libraries must burn, the cities must burn, the vaccine will not be given, the virus will mutate, the people will die, the civilization will die, all things will pass away, and every few DAYS there is another harbinger like this that points the way to doom.
