Reply to comment by Wahaha in Why we will win the war for general-purpose computing by HMTg927
Yeah, they all have hardware level backdoors that governments can access. There’s really nothing doing here.

Wasn't the war lost nearly a decade ago, when all CPUs had hidden operating systems added to them that will grant them complete control over wireless networks?

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.

Reply to Wikipedia Banned IP Blocks by awdrifter
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.

You would have to make the browser engine run through the Tor proxy (socks5://127.0.0.1:9050), including DNS requests to resolve onions. But why no one forked Tor? It's probably because Firefox and its Gecko browser engine aren't dead yet, but it might be in the future, so it's probably a good idea to use Pale Moon as a replacement, especially with the Proxy Privacy Ruler, which allows for applying the proxy only for private windows and/or certain domains. But they'll probably not do that and just accept to use Chromium and its Blink browser engine (I mean, Pale Moon is bad... but it's still better than what Chromium is trying to do).

Is there a way to transplant the Tor protocols onto a different browser engine? Say, WebKit? Why hasn’t anyone forked Tor as a result of their behaviors?

Phrasing it like that makes me wonder what a village full of pedophiles would look like.

Isn't it run by the FBI anyway?

Clearly, there are worse things the Tor Project did, such as removing a Clownflare discussion (notice how it doesn't exist on GitLab) and moving from Trac to GitLab, which caused disabling anonymous contributions. And let's not forget the Mozilla dependency…

Looks like a plain old copyvio: https://www.concrete-online.co.uk/chinese-censorship-tank-man-sold-to-chinese-firm/ After all, once you believe the right of people to see and share images is "property", how can you object to China?

Especially since DuckDuckGo mostly relies on Bing for its results. All search engines suck, of course, but the best choice for now is searX.

CuckCuckShlomo is no good, either.

They show it now, including reports that Bing blocked it at the top. I bet some intern fat-fingered the country list.

Well if that's so, you could take 100,000 Computer Professionals from all the top companies on Earth ... and you'd find they're 100.000% "Jewish".

That sounds like the classic "this isn't child porn ... it's just a natural number in base two."

SInce 2017 for their Animojis, lots of links. But now in 2021 they use pupil and gaze track to dim screen, and encode 3d faces to cloud. They call the 30,000 plotted 3d pixels... NOT A PHOTO in court documents, when they can be trivially used to make a accurate photo from the 30,000 plotted points.

They did, often since 2017, scan faces for 30,000 data points in 3d FOR EMOTION TRACKING in Animojis in 2017 and later, but now in 2021 they do it on home screen and measure pupil and study gaze direction.
Learn and read. Lots of links support all I just typed.
