Your prudery and moralism bores the hell out of me https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant04-2024-07-18

I’d rather play with sticks from my backyard than install epic launcher.


The data they can hand is your acc creation information and which IP accessed the email. They can’t hand email content because of zero knowledge encryption, and they can’t hand VPN traffic because it’s not logged and they can’t be forced to log it. https://protonvpn.com/support/no-logs-vpn/
I don’t discard it, but how much they have to be creative on technical aspects today unless it’s to port a new game to older gens (do they even do that?), it just seems the hardware has so much power and potential they barely tap on it before the industry release new hardware, so they don’t even have to care about optimization.


I don’t get why they never suggest making it completely public every email, phone call and bank transaction of politicians and judges then… also, please, force them to wear a chip so we can always know their location… it’s ok to give it some hours of delay for security reasons, we just need to know where you have been to, no need to worry if you have nothing to hide.


It’s not like the bosses have no experience, do they just suck at creating realistic deadlines? Everything I hear about the industry is people overworked af


I don’t really follow any channel but I saw a few videos from that guy that was a musician but now is really pissed at tech companies, the art of poison-pilling music and the ones about flock cameras were pretty good. Benn Jordan the name.


I was curious about your definition of clickbait title and how it fits this one though


Short, concise and precise, pretty much gold standard for a title… everyone accusing of clickbait, what?


What clickbait title did you read to believe he took part in any money laundering? He isn’t even being accused of that.


The phrasing of this title implies that the creation of a privacy tool is what the creator got arrested for
That’s LITERALLY what happened.
No, he wasn’t accused of using it for money laundering at all, he was actually accused of “conspiracy” to money laundering, claiming that his tool facilitates it, HOWEVER, the prosecution itself knew their charges had absolutely no legal basis and kept it a secret, and when the defense made a motion to dismiss it was denied by the judge without even being heard and the judge gave no reason for it (I guess being on record that the trial is a farce wouldn’t look good). In front of an openly hostile judge and a trial that has no intention of following laws, legal costs in the millions piling up, he made a deal for 5 years in prison instead of the 25 they were going to give him.
Again, he wasn’t even charged with money laundering, he was arrested for creating a tool that can be used for that. The title is telling the truth - therefore, it’s not malicious.


What is your definition of clickbait title? I consider clickbait misleading, misinforming or non-informing, something like “He Built a Privacy Tool. You Won’t Believe What Happened Next.”
In this case here the title provides all the correct info about the video content - yes, he was arrested for building a privacy tool, he wasn’t charged for money laundering despite what real clickbait headlines might be saying.


I agree that OP could have post a summary with the video, but clickbait would be “He built a privacy tool, and you won’t believe what happened next” or something that doesn’t inform of the content of the video. Here it’s pretty clear, he built a privacy tool and was arrested for it, all the info is contained in the title.


Why the massive downvotes here? I think bitcoin is bullshit as much as the next lemming, but the whole situation you may cheer now because it’s a cryptobro getting fucked is what is going to happen to you tomorrow.
Summary: Guy basically made a Tor for crypto so transactions can’t be directly linked between users, and the government charged him with a bunch of bullshit claims and completely ignored the law to destroy it. Yeah, there is some PR stunt going on now with a presidential pardon, but that doesn’t mean the service is going back up.
In countries like mine, subjected to USA imperialism, USA puppets are already equating drug dealers to terrorists, and they also equate immigrants and refugees to drug dealers, so guess what?
If you visit the Tails website you are already put on a list of extremists, probably if you use Tor as well, it won’t be hard for any of the privacy tools you like to make you be called a terrorist too, Graphene is for criminals, isn’t it? We are just on whim away from a powerful asshole to decided that, because even if you believe you are “playing by the rules”, laws don’t matter. If it didn’t matter even for rich cryptobros trying to secure privacy for their users, imagine for you and your wishes of privacy?


I wonder how long before someone says “Having to wait for security patches to be made only when new exploits are discovered is inefficient, we need an AI agent running all the time, inspecting every command, to respond immediately if an exploit is found.” and then they just stop security patches and you need that AI crap consuming ram and energy like hell while sending all your data to the mothership.


I absolutely disagree about unplayable


Oh, that code I said scored 6% (now 5% because the bar in seekbar is not counting), it’s code for a widget and it contains the css in it, and all the # in <style> are counting as comments - but they are id selectors.
I’m using characters for buttons, ⏸ and ⏭ count as emoji, ▶ doesn’t.


Oh yeah, and this last code is extremely flawed, I was having trouble with loading order because each page accessed by this menu should also load other scripts and sometimes it wasn’t working properly so I added a bunch of redundant stuff that I’d be embarrassed to show to an actual javascript developer. As I said, this was the least AI-made of the bunch, and how bad the code is should be proof humanity haha - even though I could hardly call it AI-assisted, it was AI-made and poorly human-edited.
I know only one sentence in gaelic: Tiocfaidh ár lá
… the “faidh” is silent. I wonder how many more words like that they have.
