It's not even so much as the fact that many apps are built as spyware as their primary function, and the thing they're advertised to do is actually the secondary function, or 'wrapper' of the data mining function (i.e. a brick-breaking game that needs access to your storage, photos, messages, contacts, location, etc.), but the platform they are released on (Apple Store, Google Play) require their own frameworks that also perform data mining. So even if you are an app developer who values user's privacy and choose to not include functions that data mine, in order to release your app to a wide audience, your app will automatically include the tracking functions of the framework you are forced to use.

It's a step in the right direction toward better privacy, but it's funny that they're doing it as a 'fad' rather than for the reason that smartphones are basically spies in their pockets - nefarious little digital beasts. All phones can be tracked, but a flip phone will free them from the dozens of apps these kids have installed on their smartphones (and the operating system themselves) that scrape every bit of data they can from them possible...and it isn't to help create a better user experience, I assure you.

Yes, SearXNG is a fork of SearX, which is described as a "privacy-respecting, hackable metasearch engine" that is open source and self-hostable. I've run a private instance of the core SearX for a few years, but I've considered hosting a public instance to add to the list of 104 public builds of SearXNG that are currently available. I recommend everyone try SearX/NG first before caving to use a seach engine that may put their privacy at risk, especially one that's 100% spyware such as Google. Add it to your bookmark bar, because unfortunately there are issues making it the default search engine in most browsers.

Soros is a lot better at keeping his name away from certain projects he funds (like Antifa and BLM) as to be more in the shadows, but Schwab is just so fucking brazen that he straight up comes right out as says he's gonna rule the world and destroy everyone's lives, and there's not a goddamned thing anyone can do about it, and I'm almost certain it's gonna come back to bite him in the ass. He can't seem to comprehend that the thousands he has working under him all have friends and family that will be affected negatively by his evil plans, and I think he may be placing too much faith in their devotion to him. I wouldn't be surprised one bit at some type of military coup, poisoning, or targeting of each and every member of WEF by all kinds of different personell - military and intelligence alike, from all over the world.

Fuck Putin, but I wouldn't mind seeing a good number of those 5000 Swiss troops and mercenaries they've hired for security actually have a conscience and some sense of morality to disrupt this group from moving forward with their plans in Fight Club fashion. They are the cooks and garbage men, the jackboots that are supposed to keep them content and safe. They're the ones who actually have all the power, and all it takes is one person is their kitchen, or one of their security detail to really change the game. Even better if they organize and take a nonviolent stand, but this is war and war is ugly.

I sure as hell don't trust reassurances from Pfizer or Moderna or any of their fans and shills.

This is the key here, and it's inscredibly disheartening how many people would not only trust implicitly, but go to bat for these creatures whose modus operandi since the founding of the pharmaceutical field has been to place the importance of profits over safety and effectiveness, with testing of their products done on the unwilling or on those who have no choice but to comply. Many pharmaceutical companies have long histories of undeniably evil actions across the globe, and it's dumbfounding how this isn't recognized nowadays. It certainly is all psychological operations, pharma companies taking pages right out of the Rand Corporation's playbook on psyops, and especially the younger generation is so transfixed on mindless entertainment to care, and those who do actually care face peer pressure from those who do drink the gov't & pharma kool-aid. It's so disheartening, but there does seem to be some glimmers of hope. My big concern is how far will they let this "great awakening" go before it's decided some major, catastrophic even needs to occur to detract attention to it. Maybe roll-out the planned Cyber Polygon worm to disrupt global internet communications...or worse.

It's generally agreed in the FOSS community and among developers who are privacy and security conscious that using Cloudflare is simply a lazy approach to DDOS mitigation. I've mentioned in another thread that I've long considered developing a similar forum, would not use Cloudflare, would have a .onion address accessibele using TOR, and I would ensure the site to be operational with javascript turned off. I do respect user privacy above all other things, and while I agree clearnet is flooded with AI and content mill-generated content, there is still plenty of organic content to be found. I know this because I am typing this reply with my fingers. Of course, you have no way of knowing this for certain, but you're gonna just have to take my word for it.

According to this Bloomberg article from 2008, Musk was a WEF Young GLobal Leader:

“Elon Musk, the chairman of Tesla Motors, the much-publicized electric sports-car company, is a new YGL.”

What is a YGL?

The YGL community is made up of more than 1,300 members and alumni, including public officials, business innovators, artists, educators, technology developers, journalists and activists.

The mission of the Forum of Young Global Leaders is to create a dynamic global community of exceptional people with the vision, courage and influence to drive positive change in the world.

Yes, I see several spam messages (just like we see here constantly when clicking on the 'new' tab), but also many directly relating to 9/11 investigations. It looks like the forum was created by memeber Phil Jayan, who, in his inital stickied post Forum Questions, Issues, Bugs and Suggestions states that he doesn't have a lot of time for that first post, which leads me to believe he's a pretty busy guy and just threw that forum up to continue it after the old forum lost it's hosting (or whatever the case was). According to his profile, he was last seen on Nov 21, 2022, so he obviously doesn't keep tabs on the site every day and clearly needs some help with moderation.

Maybe you could create an account over there, drop Phil a line and offer to help with spam reduction/moderation, if you have time. Seems like decent forum software, I don't see any trackers listed in uBlock Origin, so the site looks safer than this site as a matter of fact, which is behind Cloudflare that does indeeed track users. Why Saidit is Cloudflared is beyond me, because doing so shows a lack of respect for users imo. There are other methods of DDOS protection that do not involve compromising user's privacy.

EDIT: Also, remember that 9/11 happened over 20 years ago, and isn't the hot topic is was back when the site was originally created. Users are elsewhere now, on other platforms that get more traffic where their posts generate more views and discussion.

It is still up - letsrollforums.com. Isn't all that active, but many folks are nowadays opting for reddit-clone style forums as opposed to the old-school BBforums/vBulletin, etc. Forums rise and fall, especially conspiracy-themed ones.

Seems the tables are beginning to turn. As a non-vaxxed person, I am offended by those who have put my health at risk by their ignorance, as much as they have claimed that we, the non-vaxxed, were putting thier health at risk by not taking the jab. Very similar to those who claim they don't care about thier own digital privacy ("If I've done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide, why should I care if I'm being tracked or spied on?"). When you don't care about your own privacy and allow big tech to spy on you, you are allowing them to spy on everyone else you communicate with, whether they consent to it or not. Ignorant fucks.

While sexual orientation definitely has sociological impact, this particular case can be interpreted as the professor stating "you may be more gay than you think" - not so much as to give students an idea of how homosexuals are perceived or treated in society, but more as to sway them toward homosexuality in a purely sexual context. If you view the vid posted on that page, it's pretty clear that that professor is as light in his loafers as they come, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was using his course just to get some of his straight male students to 'experiment'. It's pretty well known that the holy grail to gay men is to "convert" straight guys right into the sack, and the university teacher/student sexual relationship is as old as society itself. Just look at ancient Greece.

Even before my (long overdue) departure from reddit several years back, I had considered developing a censorship-free reddit-style link aggregator/discussion forum that would be heavily privacy-focused for users (unlike, ahem...certain sites that are Cloudflared or rely on advertising like Google Analytics). But because I wouldn't allow advertising or cross-site scripting (and really would prefer to use no javascript at all), the site would need to rely on donations to pay for hosting, unless some sort of blockchain token was employed that users could purchase to help pay for hosting and reward other users for content. And therein lies the problem - I am extremely idealistic when it comes to user privacy, and would not want folks to pay for said tokens using traditional means that could allow for tracking. The only real alternative is to only accept anonymous payments in Monero, but that would of course severely limit the user base.

Another reason it's never materialized is that I'm just one guy who trusts literally no one. While automod bots can help, they're not anywhere near foolproof, and I don't see how I could possibly find a mod crew that I wasn't constantly suspicious of, considering the overall theme of said forum(s) would be conspiracy-based, and likely would attract a whole range of undesireables. I've run into this problem before (many years ago) running forums that dealt with highly controversial topics, and it sucks when you find out one of your crew glows.

I'd consider it if someone of means were to completely fund it, including covering the cost of my time for development and server administration + a bit of pay for a small mod crew, but I don't really see that happening. I've thought about reaching out to some folks in politics, but I'd trust them even less than some anon who says he agrees with my priciples. Bottom line is that simply being the founder and admin of such a highly controversial site would put a big target on ones back, and while I'm a truth-seeker, I'm not a stupid one with a death wish.

In the meantime, I just work on other stuff that, while being focused on security and privacy, doesn't deal with user-generated content that could get me or a crew in tons of hot water. I'm paranoid enough as it is, but hats off to others who have the balls to do it.

That shit'll be cracked in a heartbeat, but my guess is most folks using smart tvs and/or other devices with proprietary media players that have non-disableable DRM likely wouldn't notice if DRM was installed. Even if they did, they probably wouldn't know how to apply a crack anyway.

Gaydolf_Titler · 2023-01-12T19:50:38+00:00

My interpretation of this ban has been the idea that since the Nord Stream 2 pipline was to supply a good portion of Europe with natural gas from Russia through Ukraine, and NS2 along with the Nord Stream 1 pipeline were rocked with explosions (sabotage) just like Biden promised, the US will now be able to sell that gas to UK and much of Europe instead of Russia. Of course doing so would mean a lot less natural gas would be available in the US, so a ban on gas stoves would reduce the need for that gas. If there was a ban on gas stoves, most Americans might barely notice that there wasn't any gas left because it was all sold to Europe, and probably wouldn't revolt as much.

Definitely seems like something the WEF would recommend. Right up their alley as a matter of fact.

Not saying it doesn't capture the essense of what we imagine JR might say, if he had some free time in between eating babies to casually surf the civilian internets.

The sub-title to this article is:

The 'Hawkeye' star experienced a weather-related accident on Sunday.

Interesting choice of wording, curious as to why it was chosen. Is it to imply something to do with climate change, or to set the injury apart right off the bat from a vaccine injury (such as "See - celebs get hurt from other stuff besides vaccines!")?

Maybe both? I have a hard time believing it wasn't written this way to convey a particular message beyond the simple fact of the matter.

So regardless of it's plausability that it was written by JR, it wasn't. It was just some hoser larping in the comments.

Been waiting for more info on the case and specifics of the intrusions, finally found the complaint filing that details some of the tech involved (that they're ware of, so far). My question has been whether the surveillance has been conducted only using Blue Kai and web javascript only, if it exists in other Oracle software (specifially VMWare, VirtualBox), or within JavaSE itself.

Gaydolf_Titler · 2022-12-15T18:58:03+00:00

Window dressing - a wrapper for sanctioned spyware, in essence. The world is full of stable FOSS software that is auditable.

Also, can't really take the author of this tech article seriously as someone who lost years of creative work because he kept all his voice memo recodings on his iPhone.

This is beyond fucked up, and sad how many are still so clueless:

Ashley Crowe, chief program officer for the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas, said 697 Girl Scouts have obtained the Ericsson 5G patch.

Crowe praised Ericsson’s support for the Girl Scouts, saying, “I for one would never feel exploited by Ericsson,” but she added that she was unaware of health concerns about children’s exposure to cellphone radiation. “I had never even heard about that,” she said. “This has not been brought to our attention at all.”

Just as bad if not worse, unless you're running a de-Googled ROM like GrapheneOS.

I think others may beg to differ, but take everything with a grain of salt.

Not to them either. Catnip is an iridoid (Nepetalactone), which is esentially a fragrance that has been traced evolutionarily in cats as being not much more than an insect repellent that they rolled in to keep from getting bitten by bugs while carefully stalking prey. It is activated in the olfactory (smell) system, and the reason they act silly is the olfactory system produces an endorphin that activates opiod receptors. This performs a completely different function than psilocybin, an indole alkaloid or tryptamine that activates the 5-HT receptors, or serotenergic system that is responisble for neurotransmission (conscious thought).

That list doesn't include the top two subtitles sites of all time - addic7ed and Subscene.

Catnip is not psilocybin.

It's a pronoun? Might as well make it my pronoun then. Henceforth, I shall identify as fuck all.

Yes, you're right. Sorry, somehow it appeared to me outside the thread. Must be tired.

Oklahoma City is one of the most conservative cities in the country, yet is among the worst in drive-by shooting rates.

Since both life imprisonment and death can be too light a punishment for some people, and all outside communication with prison inmates is monitored, imagine somehow an AI-to-prison grapvine interface that would allow anons to make donations to be deposited into the commissaries or to the families of inmates incarcerated in the same facilies of those who might have escaped appropriate justice (for whatever reason), in order to administer a more appropriate punishment as dictated by the consensus of the users. The application could be programmed to assign very specific and detailed actions to different beneficiaries, like paying some to ensure the inmate is kept alive, while others may be paid to see that inmate regrets their actions for every second of every day for the rest of their lives, perhaps in a non-violent, non-lethal psychological fashion.

Obviously something like this would never be allowed to exist on public platforms, seeing as how it would essentially be a vigilante justice or Lynch mob torture app, but is probably one of the lulziest things that someone hell-bent on chaos could do to disrupt the prison system...or anything else for that matter, such as a business or institution.

While this type of tech could definitely be used for diabolical purposes, it seems like it could also have profound uses in the realm of corporate, government and police oversight by the public. Seems like it could be a brilliant use of AI and crowdsourced funding, if a miraid of hurdles can be overcome. Suppose an excellent AI could even be employed to perform that function as well.

I think many projects like these often have more to do about building street cred in the FOSS community than devs providing free tech services for humanitarian reasons out of the goodness of their own hearts. Or one might say that it looks very good on a CV if you are the founder and builder of a free tech service that might be considered a humanitarian cause. Might get your foot into all kinds of doors, perhaps into the oft-shadowy realm of philanthropy, where grant money is can be a huge motivator. I believe there sometimes may be hidden agendas at play as well, perpetrated by wolves in sheep's clothing. Almost all free infotech services have everything to do with data mining and analytics, and nothing to do with helping people in need.

Worth taking note is that while this article states that the phones are "powered by Linux and open-source software", Philtel's own About page declares "To power the telephone network that drives the payphones, we are making use of commodity hardware (especially used/discarded and low-power-consumption hardware) and open-source software where available." This is clearly a broad statement left open to many different interpretations, yet the press specifically leads readers to believe that the project is built upon all free and open source (auditable) code, which is not true at all.

It's likely the "commodity hardware" Philtel refers to are the boards used to replace the coin mechanisms, which look a lot to me like Chinese knock-off Raspberry Pis, and are likely to run proprietary Chinese firmware. This opens up whole 'nother can of worms, and one might see a very clear and nefarious motivating factor if the firmware behind the boards (running the free and open source software) is actually Chinese spyware (i.e. China's version of the Intel Management Engine). The company that makes these boards is called 'Ningbo Joiwo explosionproof Science & Technology co.,Ltd.', and as far as I can tell, is entirely proprietary and entirely Chinese. According to their website, one of the products they make is the "jail phone", or phones that are used by inmates in prison ("Most popular jail phone in America, Europe, and the Middle East"), and as we all know these are designed very specifically for monitoring communications.

Really, there are so many points of vulnerability - from the firmare and provisioning software that runs all the devices involved, to Philtel's own VPS network, which could contain...anything really - that makes the whole project rife for data mining, and we all know analytics is incredibly profitable.

EDIT: It could also be argued that the project specifically targets those who choose to not carry cell phones due to privacy concerns, and where funding may come for something like that is a bit of a no-brainer. Very clever to recuit hackers, artists and engineers to contribute to the project, too. Seems like a great way to keep costs down could be by tricking others into doing your dirty work for you, and making them think they're doing it for a humanitarian or freedom-loving cause.

Didn't really mean to say the company was bad, was just relaying a little of what I knew about their background. Though I recall reading a number of pretty harsh reviews a few years back from angry customers over the company's policies and support, it's surely possible they're completely different now, more focused on quality assurance and customer service. Haven't really been paying much attention to the gaming pc market recently, tbh.

But to answer your question: yes, what I know about the company is enough for me to not consider buying from them. If you haven't checked into some recent company reviews, may not hurt.

And you may have heard EVGA broke off their relationship with Nvidia and has vowed to never work with them again, so if your card fails under warranty, it's possible that an exact replacement might not be available. Nothing against EVGA, but keep in mind you'd be buying discontinued stock and it's surely why that particular card is on sale right now. Kinda sneaky, if you ask me.

Good luck!

CyberpowerPC was a discount PC brand that used inferior quality components and carried by Walmart, generic barebones PCs with their label on them. Their laptops were okay: basically Clevos with cheaper components. Looks like they're a bit more mainstream now, as their prices reflect.

You can get a PC that is just as powerful, with quality components, and without all the unnecessary RGB lighting for about half the price if you build one yourself using components found through PC Part Picker. Build yourself a nice, tasteful looking, mini or microATX small form factor (sffpc) desktop, without the frills and bloatware of mainstream commerical gaming PCs.

No, you've misread that - it is two dollars and four-hundred ninety-nine cents. This equals $6.99, which is of course a marketing gimmick to make attendees believe they are paying less than $7. A rip-off.
