Fair enough. A wild guess would be some CloudFlare fuckery. Their business model is literally a man in the middle attack/service and their network changes can result in SSL errors I've heard.

It's not because it's too truthful imo, it's so Snowden doesn't get the money for the sales and get in economical trouble now that his Russian asylum is nearing its end.

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.

Also, rarbg.to is rumoured to be an OK place if you're looking for a public torrent tracker. I've heard.

High res 90 fps AMOLED on a 5000mAh battery are nice selling points.

Nice one, doesn't even need a minimum purchase like the usual bundle!

Ian · 2019-09-12T17:22:25+00:00

Usually I'm sceptical of "long standby" phones without AMOLED but with over 10.000 amps this might last a full 24 hour day (4 days? I dont believe ya) of HEAVY use.

Also, the true walkie feature seems nice.

Ian · 2019-09-12T10:27:30+00:00

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?

Ian · 2019-09-05T08:16:59+00:00

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.

when I actually have to enforce them.

If you can convince me that you can enforce rule #4, I won't try to convince you that social means is the best way to stop asshats. :)

Ian · 2019-08-08T22:27:17+00:00

Me breaking unenforceable rules makes you look dumb.

Me disregarding a kind request makes me look dumb.

Ian · 2019-08-08T21:53:26+00:00

Rule 4 example: If a thread is "What's your favorite sports team" in a sub you moderate, and then someone comments "The Bengals" you are not allowed to ban them, even as a joke. It's on topic, and not dragging discussion down the pyramid of debate and so is in good faith. If someone comments something like "kys dummy Bengals are best idiot" then you have the option to ban them because it's not in good faith as per the pyramid of debate, despite being on topic. As a final example, if someone comments in that thread "Gouda cheese melts well" you have the option to ban them, as they're not on topic, despite not dragging discussion downward on the pyramid of debate. However if someone posts something both on topic, and in good faith, you CANNOT delete this type of post repeatedly or else you will lose all moderator privileges on saidit after a couple warnings.

I can understand why you'd need a wiki for all these intricate rules.

Edit:

One person cannot moderate more than 40 subs. Creating multiple accounts to bypass this is not allowed.

Unenforceable rule? Why not just ask if people could not, pls?

Ian · 2019-08-08T12:30:54+00:00

I'm sure you're a person with complete knowledge of the guy you replied to and thus credibility.

Let's use their word weapons against them.

Skeptics.

It establishes the skeptic as the authority that stands against a barrage of bullshit, sifting out the corn that's often mistaken for nuggets of truth.

Ian · 2019-08-03T12:10:46+00:00

Yeah, I've noticed too.

It seems likely that some sort of high level network has been cracked, allowing police to bust the major hauls.

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.

Ian · 2019-09-19T21:20:52+00:00

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?

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.

Ian · 2019-09-12T23:13:20+00:00

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.

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.
