Doing it for personal use, without profit or gain, is supposedly illegal. Doing it for profit certainly appears to be legal.

It’s really shocking to me, from the US, that this is a compulsory fee and not a tax. It’s like they want people to hate and resent it. I guess it hurts poor people? IDK.

We saw a very sophisticated attack on Linux earlier this year with the XZ exploit. That stuff is terrifying and the sort of thing people should be worried about. SELinux is tame, by comparison.

Yeah that telecommunications part is working out great right now, huh? Well, i guess we just gotta keep fighting them.

Paranoia (to a healthy degree) is good for information security professionals but drives literally everyone else crazy. I wish people would adopt more of that, though. Maybe we’d see fewer data breaches…

I had a very similar experience. Read about it. Mined a couple coins just to try it. Said “Well that’ll never go anywhere”. I think i still had them years later but by the time i remembered i couldn’t find where the wallet ended to. I think it’s gone, now.

Who knows? But they can look like they’re doing something, at least.

Maybe interpol doesn’t know China is straight up kidnapping people of the street in foreign (non-China) countries? Maybe they want to do something about that?

No?

Okay, then. Of course they’re prioritizing someone downloading some jpgs, why would i think differently?

Critically, the elites want this “solved” asap.

Russia fucking sucks but this, at least, is true. (The West sucks too, don’t get me wrong. I ain’t going to Russia but i will use their search engine.)

Same :o

People should use better sources and call out the ADL when it’s used but they’re right on this. This information predates their current madness.

The SPLC’s information is, unfortunately, nowhere near as comprehensive but they also list it. As does Wikipedia.

Anyone using “Austria 88” knows exactly what they’re doing. No way you put that together by chance.

Honestly it’s looking increasingly likely but i’m still holding out hope.

Republican men tend to expect (demand) all women be open and willing to date them, also to become ultra submissive to them and warp their entire lives around whatever the dude desires. It’s fucked up but it’s a real problem if you’re a woman. (Non-Republican men and even women can also have similar expectations, but there’s a reason “Would you date a Republican man?” is a meme.)

Presumably the one asking is the Republican… Ditch her.

Sortition has the same benefit.

The strategy is “Never Play Defense”.

They know what’s going on, they know what they’re doing. They just don’t care, they like Trump they just can’t argue their case and don’t care to.

It’s following the Amazon monopolization model.

I don’t know about state funded, but corporations really, really hate IA for a lot of reasons.
