I run my own searxng instance. It's amazing.

I also spun up my own yacy instance. It was pretty terrible. It could be good, but you would need a pretty beefy machine with a lot of storage and a lot of time for it to index for it to be anything approaching good.

Yes, he is. People like this are divorced from reality.

He's a billionaire or whatever. The speech doesn't effect him in any way. He still has more resources than he could hope to burn through in multiple lifetimes. Speech literally cannot harm him.

He doesn't understand that to all the doors, some speech can and does hurt us.

No free speech is not a right. Freedom of speech without prosecution from the government is a right.

No one is required to platform your stupid fucking viewpoint.

The 1st amendment ONLY allows you to say what you like and not have the government prosecute you for it. However, there are still limits to speech that cannot be prosecuted.

For example, you can't yell fire in a crowded theater. You can't cause a mass panic that results in injuries or death.

A private company has exactly zero obligation to platform your idiotic ramblings.

Also you don't have to have a pi to run a pi hole. You can run it in windows using WSL. Just search Google for pi hole WSL. All you do is run the power shell script and it does practically everything for you

I work for an MSP managing thousands of workstations and servers. I'm also the "VPN guy" so I deal with them constantly every single day.

Perhaps you should ask questions before making assumptions.

Newpipe is getting updates on fdroid again and seem like will be getting updates for the foreseeable future as the issue stopping it is solved. ( f-droid.org )

Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can't find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn't used to add live in your what's new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .

"sending aide to Ukraine, though that is getting iffy"

This tells me everything I need to know. That you would even say something like this means you have no idea what you're talking about.

Additionally, you realize that those are all separate bills, right?

That content does not belong to YouTube. And they also do not pay for 99% of it.

YouTube depends on people to use it for it's existence. They also depend on those users to upload content so that YouTube can then treat that content as if it is its own and monetize it.

If I was in such a precarious position I wouldn't go about making the experience crappy for those users that I'm desperately dependent upon.

That's nice. Do they also create the content for the platform that is by far the most costly part of it? Or have they simply found a way to monetize content that does not belong to them?

@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

What the fuck? Can you sync chrome to edge and edge to opera? What kind of bad faith bullshit ass argument are you trying to pull here?

You're claiming that you cant sync data on Firefox, when you absolutely can. Then you claim that what you meant was that you cant cross browser sync on multiple devices. Well congratufuckinglations, you can't on any other browser either.

What is wrong with you?

Scary_le_Poo ,
@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

Does every single creator get paid for their work and the value that they add to the platform? Or does YouTube arbitrarily get to decide who gets a tiny piece of the revenue from the content that YouTube doesn't own?

What proprietary code do you have to run to use GitHub???

Scary_le_Poo ,
@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

You are not required to visit the website to use GitHub.

If you are complaining because all you know how to use is the website and GitHub desktop, then that's a you problem and you need to get good. There is a git man page and it is excellent. I suggest you study up.

Scary_le_Poo ,
@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

So it isn't necessary to have keys and an account on your preferred git server? What kind of insecure dumpster fire server are you committing code to???

Scary_le_Poo ,
@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

What proprietary app do you need to run... The website? Are you seriously arguing that making an account on the website is equivalent to having to run an app on your machine?

You're weird.

God, what a bullshit, bad faith argument. I'm sure you feel like you have the high ground, but seriously, you sound like an idiot.

Scary_le_Poo ,
@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

I can confidently say at this juncture, that you're an idiot.

You know why you're an idiot? It's because you don't understand that arguing in bad faith openly, as you have done, loses the argument for you pretty much outright.

The irony of posting from infosec about how superior Brave is. Bruh moment.

Scary_le_Poo , (edited )
@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

Dude, there is degoogled chromium, and various other blink engine choices, but touting brave as a "superior" option? Oof. Big oof.

On the gecko side of things, there are a ton of great choices as well. All of them are better in every single way than brave.

Scary_le_Poo ,
@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

Bro. Be better.

"Objectively"

"Superior"

Your use of these words make me think that you don't understand what they mean. Go ahead, use brave all you want. Big oof.

Smh.

US says Israel has not violated international law during Gaza war ( www.aljazeera.com )

After Israel killed seven aid workers in Gaza, the US says it has not found any incidents of Israel violating international humanitarian law in the past six months. An Al Jazeera probe concluded the World Central Kitchen vehicles were deliberately hit.

Scary_le_Poo ,
@Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org avatar

The reason is that it has not issued any findings yet. It is going to in a few months.

This is clever wordplay, nothing more.

Edit: fuck me, it's as if no one gives a shit about the truth anymore. It's all kneejerk reactions.

This is a non-story. Governments don't just willy nilly declare that somebody has or has not committed a war crime. It goes through an entire process. That process has not completed yet (in the US anyway). There are no findings yet. Therefore until the findings are released, the US has not found that Israel has done anything.

Biden made a direct appeal to Trump, asking him to join him in telling Congress to pass the bill, which was tanked after Trump rallied his allies in Congress against it.

“You know and I know it’s the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country’s ever seen,” Biden said. “So instead of playing politics with the issue, why don’t we just get together and get it done?”

What a fucking rag. Read the above and tell me where Biden invited Trump to work together.

Fuck NBC.

The moment Google did the alphabet thing in order to preempt ftc breakups, it was over.

I degoogled in 2017 (I run my own Synology cloud now with off-site backup to AWS glacier) and while it wasn't cheap, it was absolutely the best decision.

It isn't cheap, but it is very rewarding. Twice in the past couple of months have I been able to give family members out so that they don't lose or have to start paying exorbitant amounts.

pretty quiet week this week if you ignore whatever the hell is going on with our bathroom toilet, which has a diagnostic issue we can't troubleshoot and which has flooded once this week. calling maintenance once again to see if we can figure this out so i don't have to plunge every third time we flush (ironically it'd be way...

Latency. Also, wired is always better than wireless. I'll save the long boring explanation for another time, but suffice it to say that wireless constantly has dropped packets, and constantly has to retransmit data.

Wired when you can, wireless when you have to.

Janitors assist cops by keeping precincts.clean, are they bastards? How about the it guys that keep the servers and workstations running, are they bastards?

Hopefully this helps you understand the absurdity of what you are advocating.

"Acab includes military and people who assist cops"

No, I was abstracting this statement further so that it was clear that "and people who assist cops" was idiotic because it is far too broad.

I have no idea wtf you think you're talking about, but whatever it is it's not on topic. It looks like you were trying to build a straw man.
