Every Big Tech CEO for the last 10 years or so are Gen X, this massive surveillance and data collection is totally their thing, previous tech CEOs weren’t such scumbags :P (or just weren’t creative enough to be such scumbags)

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

• yes, he is going to prison for building a privacy tool, I’m sorry that you have read actual clickbait titles before, but he was not charged with money laundering, he wasn’t even charged of being involved with any money laundering scheme, the sole reason he was arrested was for building a tool that can be used for illegal activity. Let’s hope they don’t go after the Tor Project and Tails OS with such claims too.
• yes, OP could have made a short description in the post like saying who, what tool, what charge, etc.

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.

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.

Last month it was about 50 movies and it was a high number - I also don’t download horror or Hallmark-like stuff.

Manually. There is this group I follow, every end of the month I check what they uploaded throughout the month (their posts have the IMDB score).

I pirate monthly every IMDB 6+ movie and series that got dubs in my language and send an HDD to my father, who only has a cheap cellphone internet plan.

lol the AI toy teaching kids how to BDSM, and yet that’s one of the least dangerous things about letting AI raise our kids

A few sites still use mailing lists, but those probably use RSS as well… I guess most don’t implement RSS, but if they are on stuff like Neocities or Nekoweb you can create a profile and follow them to see updates.

Thanks. I have seen this and I thought it was all lemmy since it looks like devs wanted it that way for everyone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/622

Is this not clear enough? Slurs are against our code of conduct and the goals of this project. Go to voat or gab if you want to use racist or sexist slurs; we don’t allow them here.

If you dont like it, fork it. Stop bothering us about it, we will never fully remove the slur filter.

yep, this time I have read the thread to the end :P

That’s very beautiful, but do you feel that way too when Trump says vaccines cause autism, Elon Musk goes on rants about the woke virus, and then that racist uncle who likes to drunk-drive and catcall mentions them as beacons of morality protecting society from transexuals?

Regardless of nature and nurture, at some point people must be responsible for the things they do and say, else we are going to have to excuse everyone for everything, as nature and nurture is no one’s fault… and I don’t believe that. One can understand all the context of why they are like that, and still want them to fuck off.

There are insults that I feel like are moralistic, majority seem linked to non-marital sex but the root overall is trying to shame someone for sexual activity that “should” be shameful. From those aimed at women like removed (lol lemmy, I’m saying the female dog here), slut, removed (ugh, the way devs treat everyone like children is ridiculous… it wouldn’t prevent a troll from writing wh0re, just prevent adults from having a conversation), etc, to homophobic insults, and even some more “neutral” like bastard… I don’t feel like people talk about bastard enough, like, you are trying to shame that person for their mother not being married? Like, single mother = bad person? (like son of a removed, bastard is pretty misogynistic)

However, when someone says something really dumb, and you try to come up with an insult to his intelligence, I think inevitably someone will try to link it to people who are mentally impaired. Even the word “dumb” here, it’s used for people with speech impairment, and people believed they couldn’t talk because they were idiots, which meant mentally impaired as well… given enough first-world-boredom, someone will make the fight against “dumb” and “idiot” their cause too.
What about when there is data and evidence to something and the person refuses to see or hear… you gonna call them blind/deaf? You will have a hard time finding an insult that first-world-boredom won’t try to link to shaming people with disabilities… even calling someone crazy, insane, demented, deranged, etc, those are all used to demean people with real mental conditions, it’s ok to make them the butt of the joke?

I’m all pro using insults like asshole, piece of shit, etc, instead of moralistic stuff when you are trying to insult a person’s character… but what if you are trying to insult a person’s cognitive ability? People dead set to be offended will find a way to say you are being prejudicial towards people with cognitive impairment.

There’s also the possibility these comments are on instances, communities, or posts by users you’ve blocked.

Do you use language tags in your comments and have language set in your profile?
It could be that you made the comment in one language and that language is set to be hidden now.

It was probably defederated from every other instance

I wonder if all recent outages aren’t just crappy AI coding

My country has a huge piracy tradition, we have counterfeit of everything and no one gives a fuck. I have this satellite decoder that let me watch any satellite-broadcasted channel in the world, and the guys who made those are so awesome that they also offer a streaming service they upload everything from all major streaming services, and it’s completely free, no subscription, you just buy their device and you have access to their private streaming

Do they work offline or are they just small data broker agents?

Streaming services subscription.
