I suggest changing "good faith" to "following the pyramid" or something. Posting in bad faith (trolling etc.) could very well be on topic AND adhering to the pyramid.

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.

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.

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.

Basically, don't respons to propaganda?

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.

After examining the image of the actual kayak (https://gfx.nrk.no/0YYIciOiuCrv_TPKW-N76wDUvrHDRL-5xpLrwN_0YNzw.jpg) we can see that it's a foldable kayak with an opening at what appears to be the back end.

I'd say that's consistent with someone paddling away from something that bumped his kayak so hard the fasteners split right open, filling it with water in less that a second.

But even if that's what happened that doesn't say anything about intent...

Ian · 2019-08-08T22:49:32+00:00

Deciding what's an acceptable narrative and what isn't, is the purpose of the voting system,

wait wat

I thought an up and down votes on reddit was used to make users adhere to the group narrative or be banished to [HIDDEN] while the insightful/funny was specifically designed to avoid group narratives?

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?

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.

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?

Do you have any arguments to support your stance or should I just trust you on this, random internet stranger?

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.

I think this is the worst bug I've ever heard about. I'd rather have all my data be corrupted or all my devices bricked.

Ian · 2019-08-25T04:34:14+00:00

One of the big problems at sea is that people literally aren't watching where they're going.

On small ships there's lookouts to watch out for the large, autopiloted ships that often has ONE guy on the bridge, hopefully minding his job and not sipping coffee while he reads a book or takes a break. The longest time I've seen a freighter take to respond to radio calls is 15 minutes and roughly a few minutes from disaster.

On large ships they have radars that picks up medium large ships and lookouts to spot small ships and floating debris that can damage the large ship. Sometimes they simply don't see small ships, particularly in dark or rough conditions. Most times there's only one lookout and sometimes he needs a quick toilet break.

It's a problem to the point where marine shops sells extra radar reflectors to mount on your small vessel to increase your chances of showing up on larger ships.

While I consider the chances of foul play to be high, I have no doubt he could have been hit by a larger vessel that never even noticed, breaking his flimsy plastic boat while his hardened, watertight safebox or soft and bendable drybag floats on.

Much more likely than a small leak that made him sink imo

Ian · 2019-08-13T04:55:52+00:00

Interesting, but looks like a military drone station to me...

Hangar ports without vehicle tracks and no strip? Drones are launched out of there.

Short landing strip on top with elevator down? Drones land, possibly with a retainer system like on the aircraft carriers and is lowered down.

The header doesn't have to be 5-6 rows tall to still display two rows of menus etc.

The problem is header.bottom. left which seems to have since sort of locked expando or else I'd just block the elements myself.

Ian · 2019-07-31T09:25:53+00:00

Remove wasteful top header, chat and other elements. If I'm to use the website instead of the apps as default, it needs to be more efficient - not pretty.

Right now saidit is bad browsing on a non FullHD PC, and by the looks of your mockups, 30ish% of the screen is still wasted with the new proposal.

Edit: Its more like 70% is wasted space.

Ian · 2019-07-30T23:36:33+00:00

I'll applaud the effort to make safe devices, but with a proprietary CPU whats the point? What does the Librem phone offer that a standard phone with LineageOS and taped over cam doesn't provide?

I probably wouldn't be able to say anything about the science behind the report...

But reading the titles of some of the other reports one of the co-authors and using THE POWER OF EMPATHY to put myself in his mindset I can understand why he'd want to paint "right wingers" in a certain light.

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

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.

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.

You're acting like I speak in the third person consistently

No, I'm acting like you consistently want your take on the matter to trump all other user comments on the thread.

Some people are silly enough to think the title of the posted article, reflects the beliefs of the poster

Ah, I see you're using public ridicule as an argument against my opinion.

Well, I think that since the users select what to send in AND have the ability to both change the title or make a new one, the user have editorial responsibility over those parts of the post and even a bit of responsibility for the validity of the content.

Don't mistake visibility tactics and efficiency for a desire for attention.

I don't consider posting one's own comments in the post title as an improvement in efficiency, but I DO consider the use of visibility tactics as a desire for attention.

Ian · 2019-08-08T22:32:37+00:00

right now HK is governmentally separate from China (like Macau), and China is already violating those terms by extraditing people from HK and so on.

I think that's the problem, the government and part of the legislative branch is supposed to be elected but is instead appointed by China. The judges is appointed by the government, and even if the HK constitution is supposed to be valid until 2049 it doesn't really matter when the judges favours the man over the people.
