Reply to Scuttlebutt: An Off-Grid Social Network by Elbmar
Looks cool, I'll check it out.
I may be one of the few who isn't super giddy about decentralized P2P networks though. They certainly have their benefits, but I also like the idea that things I say/post can also be deleted and not around for as long as other people/servers/nodes/whatever have it.
Maybe I'm just unfamiliar how networks like these work and centralized networks certainly have many flaws as well, but at least I could, if I wanted, axe this server and my data and everyone else's would die with it minus any sort of 3rd party archiving done by individuals (Ex: archive.is / waybackmachine, etc)
EDIT: Ah, requires you to run an app or program to access it. Not a normal website, similar to Aether. I'll hold off for now, but welcome newcomers to the market and anything that weens people off of traditional social media like Facebook/Twitter.

I block ads.
Ramble won't have ads. It's not really setup to serve them anyhow.

Hey Rambler, what is your position on ads in general? Are we going to see ads on this site some day?

I meant the direct link, not just the logo of Surfshark itself.

It's in the image, but good point.

I thought Poland hated online advertising the most, but no, they're a fucking average compared to France. Oh well.

All this graph tells me is that that the French are too stupid to install it successfully in one go.

10 years ago or more a mac engineer ported MAME to a kodak digital camera and the games were playable. (pacman, etc)

Probably, but maybe it will just limit it to a few minutes per web site.
Also too many new "free web games" that mine Monero while you play the free game. Monero sent to the Russian hackers of course, not to the app game players.

Apple probably will avoid making Safari on iPhone have access to a very powerful webgpu though, else people start delivering great apps via browser rather than app store.

If it was a Nikon he could have gotten GTAV to play on it. /s
That's pretty neat though!

Reply to comment by whitestar in Far-Right Platform Gab Has Been Hacked—Including Private Data by Rambler
Well, there's [RAMBLE], which, as far as I know, doesn't ban you for using these words, but also 8chan.moe (.se clear net mirror, .cc clear net mirror, Tor v3 mirror, Tor2web mirror - warning: clear net mirrors use Clownflare, which is a privacy issue (clear net only)), Nanochan (Tor v3 only), anon.cafe (.org clear net mirror, .co clear net mirror, Tor v3 mirror), zzzchan (Tor v3 mirror - warning: clear net mirror uses Clownflare), and maybe some others.
Note that some boards might add rules preventing you from using "racist" words, but I checked 8chan.moe/v/, Nanochan/g/, anon.cafe/comfy/, zzzchan/x/, and it looks like there are no additional rules that ban those types of words.

And what othe platform is there where you can say "nigger" and not get banned?

I love how people always flock to centralized platforms, even though sooner or later it always ends the same.
And when you try to get them to use Matrix/XMPP/literally anything with federation, they back out for no sane reason.

Same. No email. They have an obligation to report breaches.

That link there gives a LOT of context! Gab is free in the sense of allowing people to post things but not private in the sense of having their acts together technically.

... I thought we had laws over US companies on being pawned like this.
They are supposed to notify people.
Hate to tell my liberal idealistic friends conducting such hate campaigns, but this ceaseless pursuit of politically in opposite to you doesn't end well. Two party system is an illusion. Theater. Two wings of the same lying bird.
You just are going to cause utter dis-abandonment of sites, web, etc. All of them.
I couldn't care any less because I view liberal pursuits as what already wrecked the technology almost 20 years ago. Not a silly-con valley firm at mass scale who isn't wonky liberal. Go abroad it they are headed up by control freaks with clearer stripes.
Only going to defund yourselves and send everyone into hidden and much more fortified private spaces. Your endless data collection and intelligence will die swiftly.

If this won't make Gab users leave this platform, I don't know what will. I mean, they have already gave their data to Goolag reCRAPTCHA, and of course, the developers won't bother with fixes (clear net only). It looks like Goolag reCRAPTCHA isn't there, but I might be wrong. Gab is also Clownflared, which is a privacy issue (clear net only), so even if the privacy policy (clear net only) said anything about storing user data, Clownflare will store it anyway.

They uptalk: https://stealthisshow.com/s04e04/
They are plagued by nightmares of being adjacent to nazis: https://rebelliousdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/P2P-Hate-Report.pdf
They want a "community" instead of technology. And they don't want us.
