The public internet is for P2P exchange as well, no matter how much gov/corp tries to stymie it. I2P has its merits, but it would be sad to see it take off purely because people ceded the former territory for an obscure network layer.
I agrree they would. Don’t read it literally
sharing - this one is key. I use a shared shopping list and we both need to add and edit.

A Boeing suicide…
A crass nickname for the CIA Prize for Journalism if I ever saw one.
The easiest tool is MakeMKV. But you’ll often encounter opportunities for efficiency (eg stereo DTSHD to FLAC) as well as requirements to convert* for hardware compatibility. That’s where ffmpeg and MKVToolNix are good secondary tools for customizing the remux contents.
*Not transcoding. Rather, lossless formet 1 -> lossless format 2.
It’s an imageboard meme. Slang for over-the-top complaining.
Or put another way, it’s enabling advertisers to better camouflage themselves as humans. (Because we just cannot have people communicating directly to each other on the web…)
Suppression of the suspect’s voice really is misinformation on the part of states and corporations, albeit for different reasons.
Relevant laws and policies are employed in order to deliberately withhold public information about motive. They don’t want people placing these incidents this within a broader context. There couldn’t possibly be a belief set behind the behaviour; the perp didn’t have any ideas about how the world works, or who and what caused their circumstances. Oh no.
Why did the shooter go out and shoot people is a completely legitimate question. More than that, it will never be an illegitimate question, no matter how much autistic screeching authorities do. Learning is never wrong, and that includes the publishing and reading of a criminal suspect’s thoughts.
No, Mr Mangione! A Fortune 500 executive is a living, enterprising creature!
I don’t care…heheheh <ebike swerves onto sidewalk>
Why would Greece, like any other net importer of IP, care about this any more than it historically has? Could the sudden change in focus be at the behest of a foreign country? Really jogs the noggin
Competitor lobbying doesn’t even enter into it, I’d guess.
The US State Department won’t tolerate Americans being exposed to media that doesn’t adhere to its view of the world. What large groups of Americans think - and vitally, the bounds of what they are permitted to think - is a national security ‘issue’ in the eyes of the state. No such problem exists with Facebook, cable news, the establishment newspapers, etc. As Chomsky teaches, propaganda is equally about what isn’t in the news.
You know that quote by Gabe Newell that gets posted all the time in this comm? The perceptive one that we all like to treat as the end of the matter?
Well its truth is matched only by its extraordinary naivete. IP interests are not going to invest in competitive service delivery. They are going to invest in technical solutions that remove the need for competitive service delivery altogether. Only once the high-margin options are exhausted will they relent, and start the hard work of building something value-for-money. Doing the right thing is a last resort.
Nothing surpsises me about a single small sectional interest (football copyright) being able to wreak such havoc and inequity on a whole nation. Italian standards of governance are a joke.
One of the best YT lectures on censorship I’ve come across is Ada Palmer’s “Why We Censor: from the Inquisition to the Internet”. It lays out the universal nature of such regimes, including their slapdash conception and setup, and the arbitrary and indiscriminate targeting they engage in thanks to how co-optable they are.
I got the feeling Arkane was always shit at org politics, to be honest. Creative energy without corporate strategy. Big shame.
I’ll give the terminally online R__ditors some credit, celebrating COVID deaths plus this executive’s death is consistent at least.
Latuff created his dopey comic because he knows his left-wing audiences want confirmation of their political biases. There’s nothing wrong with that. We all seek it on occasion. But what crimes the US is and is not guilty of has virtually no bearing on the fact that 19 muslim men literally took up box cutters against passenger airliners as a profession of their faith. The hijackers didn’t care about bin Laden’s politics, they saw an opportunity to kill infidels and they took it. They certainly didn’t care about Iran Contra or Mosadegh or fucking Halliburton profiteering, and they certainly didn’t become fundamentalists because of those things.
The wikipedia links are stunningly impertinent. The charts contexually lame. Muslim fundamentalism is the cause of the 9/11 attacks; no ackchually-tier insistence on proximate versus ultimate cause is necessary.
9/11 has nothing to do with the US overthrow of foreign governments. The US didn’t make bin Laden into what he became, bin Laden did. The guy was an egomaniac bedazzled by his own bullshit. The notion that the attacks were reeeaaally about oil access or regime change or economic disparity as opposed to bloodyminded religious zealotry is a lie.
Take this social media law, plus the software backdoor nonsense from a few years ago, and I can’t help but see a clear message emerging from legislators to Australian developers who’d seek to build great digital spaces and tools: Do not domicile anything in this country. Do not host anything on servers in this country. Expect hostility from authorities toward the anonymity, security, and privacy of the people using your code.
I hope you’re wrong, and they’re going to arbitarily apply the law to King Doge and Zuck, with everyone else getting ignored.
