I'd argue that this isn't television any more than YouTube is television. With new systems comes new rules.

My rules are that "they" are out to exploit me with tracking so I'd rather pirate content or go without.

No, thanks for the tip!

This isn't news, it's an ad for a product you sell. It's fine when you post in s/technology or s/ads, but don't post ads as news.

Until you're big enough to create a parallel society that rivals the original, you're only marginalizing your own point of view by not participating in the general discourse.

When people say that the Republicans accepted Trump with open arms, I really can't take them seriously.

It's not even four years ago and they're already propagandized to the point where they've forgotten his candidacy was a joke to them.

Now imagine if these people were to draw on events 20 years ago or 60?

The situation is far weirder than anyone has any idea.

I agree 100%, but the mechanisms for keeping the secret is clear as day to me. And it won't change and let go of the narrative sans a catastrophe like leaks or storming A51 actually succeeding.

So "focusing" on a guy who've proven he can keep a secret is backwards to me.

The people in a position to disclose could have done it long before TTSA and deLonge if they wanted.

Saying that the current dripclose isn't fast enough so people should focus on one of the guys who've held his mouth shut up until now seems fruitless.

As a seemingly former advisor of deLonge he seems to have done what he thinks is enough (or what his bosses has told him to disclose as a limited hangout).

Stuff like this makes me consider if HP is subjectively evil. Unfortunately they're just greedy at the cost of their consumers and we live in a world where such is encouraged.

Ian · 2019-09-18T22:00:14+00:00

Why are people prepared to go down with the ship instead of reading the life boats?

Peer2Peer websites and decentralized networks is the way forward, paired with anonymizing software which makes you anonymous if you do choose.

I enjoy the image boards on ZeroNet through TOR when I'm not on here. Saidit is the last clearnet hooray for me.

Also, why are you not on a logless VPN, TOR, I2p or similar right now while browsing saidit on the clear net if you're worried about your anonymity?

Use uBlock Origin to stop ads and RSS to "subscribe" to the decent channels.

YT is actually pretty nice when you're allowed to watch what you want rather than what the robot overlord algorithm decides.

The Republican Party stands for free markets and individual liberty, or so its platform states. But apparently that all goes out the window when Republicans win the White House and decide to cave to media pressure and ban stuff they don’t like.

Republicans would uphold a ban on heroin, they hate individual liberty the commies.

I did not suggest saidit is different.

That's true. I assumed you'd taken a stand against authoritarian fascists by refusing to support that type of social media site due to your disdain of fascism. My bad. Do I understand you correctly; reddit is fascist and saidit is no different?

That war (WW2) was fought, according to the allies, for 4 freedoms.

The Soviet Union was part of the alliance, liberty and independence was part of the freedoms and a few countries that ended up on the wrong side of the iron curtain might disagree with the honesty of the Declaration of the United Nations.

"Freedom, but not for the British colonies, US territories and new Soviet states"...

I think you should read it again and read it slowly

I've found out my retention is highest with quick repetitions, but thanks for the reading tip.

you think that the right to say what you want when you want regardess of which media, is not how things are today does not mean that is not how it is supposed to be

No, I think that it's not supposed to be the way you present it because its contrary to the generally accepted concept of ownership.

the reason it is not is because fascists who prefer authoritarian control and censorship have taken control of social media.

I'll agree that there's been a massive increase in editorial control on corporation-run and private sites, often as a result of a sellout by the original creators, either morally or monetary...

I don't think refusal to display certain content on a website is censorship unless it's a public service by the government.

I don't believe capitalistic greed is fascist, though it's easy to mistake the two since they share a lot of methods.

And I don't believe the ones making the decisions prefer authoritarian control, it's just a very noticable way to influence people - one of many ways that's employed in parallel.

How is saidit any different? Does not the admins here have an indisputable right to remove anything without question?

We're allowed to post, it's not a right.

Also, quoting human rights when it comes to your right to say what you want on others people properties is a gross misunderstanding, would you argue that banks stifle your freedom of expression when you can't access their vaults to express whatever you want?

Hmm, I thought size mattered with this model and would have assumed they'd drop the gpios, flip the USB port 90 degrees and thus making it half the height/size.

Drop the ethernet, bump the price to 20 for the top model and include the Wifi module and you got a stew I'd eat.

Regarding Guiliani's statement, I don't know man. I've been part of "Disaster planning" for ultra small situations (20-50 people) and one of the mantras was that it's not a disaster if we got plans for it. Anything can happen and it's better to be overcautious than assuming.

IMO the reporters reporting that WTC7 fell while it was still visible in the background is more telling of a preset narrative.

The interview where Larry Silverstein told'em to pull it is proof that the official narrative is fake.

Ian · 2019-09-05T07:40:28+00:00

More like "the downside of relying on an always online user verification system when you lose internet connection".

"So it seems insanely narrow-minded and counterintuitive to say there wouldn't be a homosexual character in that world."

Was it a commonly held trope amongst the fans that there were no homosexuality in SW? Nope.

SW wants to be inclusive but I don't know of any transsexuals in Star Wars?

SW wants to be inclusive but I don't know of any nonsexuals in Star Wars?

SW wants to be inclusive but I don't know of any people sexually identifying as a TIE fighter in Star Wars?

Pansexual and homosexuals are accepted in SW because they've been held up by the films, but doesn't that create a precedence where if you're not visible, you're not worthy if existence?

Such bigotry and discrimination by Disney Star Wars.

Regarding your edit

Your posts have shown up on the default landing page on the mobile app a lot more than 3 times for me, I'm not stalking your posts - they're right in my face. And I'll agree, that's not the proper frontpage.

It's a shame really, because you posts are usually interesting and I'd be upvoting the content if there wasn't a constant mix in the presentation of content and comment... Thus boosting your posts towards the realq frontpage.

Ian · 2019-08-31T05:43:32+00:00

Did you ever stop to consider that perhaps as per your (original) advice, I tried to take more time adding more substance to my posts, rather than rely solely on the editorialized titling?

That's a central point in my argument against your statement that you only have time to comment in the post title. So yes.

Also, it's commendable that you choose to put several paragraphs of comment in the comment thread instead of the post title.

"hippocrate" (it's hypocrite)

Yes, thank you. Multilingual keyboards sometimes mess up and since I'm not even an ESL speaker and in large part self taught I often get it wrong.

You simply want to derail my threads and sling mud because you don't like my opinion and/or writing style.

No, I didn't like your title commenting (editorializing is changing the title itself, not appending an opinion I believe), I've never commented on your opinions or writing style in this context AFAIR. Me calling you out is because you've given me a reason for the way you do it and I didn't protest. But then you show that the previous reason was untrue. THEN I protest.

I also realized I don't need to rationalize my titles to you - nor do I need to have any kind of set-in-stone rules for how I do it.

That's true. The dangers of being free and doing what you want is that it might go against others interest. In this case, beyond my personal feels, is that I think it makes certain Saidit posts look infantile for new visitors.

Otherwise I'll have to request you stop this.

How about a deal, you stop doing what I don't like and I'll stop doing what you don't like?

If you can't handle that, I'll just block you. How's that?

That's what you've asked me to do with content I don't agree with, so it seems perfectly fair to me.

Ian · 2019-08-31T04:29:36+00:00

In my book you're not only [edited for unfair characteristics], you're now also a hippocrate.

I'd wish you'd stop using your post titles as a platform to push your post comments to the front page.
