I don't know about that part, I think that though they may be good for the household they're not good for things in the industrial scale (which is also my concern). And that part about the poisonous stuff? I think I'll do some research on it and bring back what I can find. Thanks though for bringing up the topic.

Politically, cyberattacks have become a fundamental part of modern conflicts, targeting sensitive objectives in a strategic manner. China’s cyber offensive against the US is not solely about advanced technology, but largely driven by the desire to spy and monitor matters that might seem minor yet hold significant importance in the context of influence and control .

we're at a lvl far removed from the inner workings. evrything could be propaganda lies, west and east. the tidbit about "unknown encrypted data packets" triggering "pre-implanted backdoors" in windows is funny. thnk these are target based or exist widely on every windows installation? waiting for a neutral security auditor to find and expose?

i wonder what incentives lie in wait for such an auditor.. $$$ and recognition, or something more sinister

I really like dillo! :)

Such a great lightweight browser for lighter hardware, or reading (linux phones / pinephone and such).

The story would not be complete without the side effects which I personally experienced.

When I graduated the prestigious Burger Flip University the top 10% could not find jobs. The bottom 40% were employed at 6x the minimum wage before the last day of class. The rest was a mixed bag. I eventually found a workaholic which offered 2.5x minimum with an agreement that I would not leave for 1 year. He offered that to a lot of briliant people. It was not enough to pay student loans so a lot of people turned to drug dealing on the side. Nobody was ever caught and nobody got addicted. After another such experience at 4.5 x minimum I became a hired gun... which turned up OK and fited my lifestyle.

This is sad. The walls over the garden grow ever taller. :'( I don't for a second believe he bought it for "free speech", as deamplification is admitted, and blocking nitter destroys neutral 3rd party searches.

And there are hidden owners. Believe some doc mentioned around 80? It was ten's of controlling interest owners, that much I remember.

That is such a brilliant strategic move that shows long-term vision by Los Viagras. Such makeshift networking infrastructure may be the only viable way to resist the dominance of big ISPs by the ordinary population. Many a rebellion (see Emiliano Zapata Salazar) have started with small steps like this one.

The article is clearly biased against Los Viagras and I am clearly biased in their favor, but there are two sides to each story. Just like 20 years ago the US government was labeling anyone they didn't like "terrorists" these days Latin-American governments throw the word "cartel" left and right.

I tried it on an HP nc6320 a few years ago, and it installed, but I had problems with drivers. I tried the same model again about 6 months ago, and it didn't even boot this time :( I should try it again soon. It's a great project, it's just a shame that it feels like it's moving so slowly. It would be great as an alternative to old OSes like 2000 and XP that are no longer supported, but run expensive equipment like medical or other scientific devices.

Captchas and Internet ID for all! 🫡

At least this is the likely corporate "solution", for AI's internet pollution.

Cryptography...

Or a vouch based system of sorts where applicable.

This is a real problem.

An asymmetric warfare attack on internet anonymity and networks (in the long-run).
