The cyanide comic is shit, but that isn’t the point. What makes the “I love science” crowd annoying is that they aren’t trying to engage with the topic at all. You can’t gatekeep when nobody is attempting to pass the gate.

It’s like people who claim they love books, when all they do is stack them in their shelves to appear intelligent.

I thought this was a Republican initially – but nope, introduced by a Democrat.

Welp, wave goodbye to the free internet.

Block-chain!

Ultimately, the sentiment isn’t completely wrong. Using a different browser isn’t going to save you from being tracked. Using one or multiple browser extensions isn’t going to save you from being tracked. Using a VPN isn’t even going to save you from being tracked.

Accounts are pretty much required to use most sites, and many also require connecting a phone number or other personal details. Privacy is actively discouraged, and attempting to pursue it leaves you with many hardships – by design I would argue. You buy a product on one site, with no prior search history about it, and suddenly you start getting emails from unrelated sites about similar products. In capitalism, any information about your habits and interests also becomes a commodity. Why shouldn’t people dismiss privacy in favor of convenience, in such a system? It seems futile to even try.

And if your government is determined to figure out who you are online, then it will. Don’t make the mistake of thinking they don’t know what you’ve been up to, here or otherwise.

The enemy is both weak and strong.

No point in contributing to a hostile organization.

All lemm.ee users well know that the inferior Asiatic brainpan could never discern a pile of shit from an ice cream cone.

A) necessary for stopping the butchering of palestinians,

B) had any chance of stopping the butchering of palestinians in general, as opposed to giving israel the perfect excuse to start carpet bombing with no restraint

This implies that you have proof that the killing of kids was intentional (IF it even happened, there’s still no concrete evidence for that yet either).

Do you have proof?

Because saying “killing kids is bad” will not convince me that Hamas is actually doing this.

No, so that they can cut off deez nuts:

It’s just gonna pollute the internet with even more bullshit. Language models don’t really understand topics, they just put together words that are likely to appear with each other. Biases are inherent to this design.

Well, at least in terms of information security a lot of progress was made, you just don’t tend to hear anything about that. I’d say the 2010s was the time where all that was being put into place, actually.

That exciting early 2000s Internet was unbelievably shitty. Nearly every widely-used protocol was easily exploitable or had massive flaws, hardly any encryption being in place, bad password practices and very little security-awareness among users, very widespread malware, etc.

There’s definitely a lot of answers that are looking for a question out there, with lots of corporate greed in play, but I don’t think it’s quite as grim as you make it out to be.

Haha, that would be too obvious, come on now.
