2 days agowhy the need to grandiosity?
just dust
nothing cosmic about it. And not dust at all, just a human typing on a screen. There’s a purity to dust that we shouldn’t reclaim. Is the moon full tonight?
merde alors

281·5 days agono thanks
how many fingers do you have on your 2 hands?
feel free to count
so you think that inches too is a freedom unit?
if they give people those cars freely, why not
edit for the downvotes : i’m not proAdvertisement. I’m just considering a situation where, let’s say in a city with a shared car service, you rent cars for a couple of hours you need, instead of owning a car (it already exists in some cities). I guess some people would be willing to see a couple of ads instead of paying for the rental and in that case: why not
If Starlink follows through on its reported vow to ignore the X ban, it is likely to face similar sanctions itself for ignoring a supreme court order.
That could have a big impact in the Brazilian Amazon, where Starlink antennae have spread rapidly since being made available in September 2022, bringing high-speed internet connection to far-flung regions. By the end of 2023 Starlink antennae were being used in more than 90% of the Amazon’s municipalities, according to BBC Brasil.
i knew your reply would be of this kind
hide your ignorance and insufficiency using aggression, good strategy 👍
Never said they can block TOR
that’s what my first comment you replied to was . I wrote that blocking VPN (or TOR) wasn’t feasible
VPNs can be blocked by governments or worse, the data can be decrypted giving you a false sense of security. In any case if the governments wants to it can easily see if you connect to a VPN and give you trouble just for that. Same goes for TOR.

They run “cool looking” VPN servers as honeypots. They definitely have backdoors for many encrypted services. Dude, this isn’t 2005 anymore.
some authorities try to use metadata for prosecution, yes, but it doesn’t suffice. They have to correlate undeniably that metadata and whatever information they may have collected from other nonencrypted platforms.
one entry node on TOR that collects the crumbles that passes through this node… good luck to anybody trying to make sense of that mess.
But go ahead and call me clueless, I am not trying to educate here. Just annoyed that people trust these technologies so much without really understanding how they get caught.
I’ve been following these cases for years now, you write “i’m not trying to educate”, but it seems like you’re trying to inform the clueless among us about the dangers of using VPN or TOR. With a claim like that, it would be nice to have some reliable sources linked in your comments
TOR, you write. How are they going to block TOR?
when a government blocks one vpn server, another sprouts in its place. Not like some governments aren’t trying. Yes, they “give trouble” to some people in some places for VPN or TOR use but that may be preferable to those people, compared to what they may have to go through if their connection wasn’t encrypted.
here the question was about blocking VPNetworks to prevent Xitter use and that sounded implausible (the judge also understood this afterwards).
VPNs can be blocked by governments or worse, the data can be decrypted giving you a false sense of security.
How would they decrypt this data without having access to the VPN server itself (or probably your device)?

censorship of what? Twitter, now X?
when i was on twitter, before elon took it over, i remember reporting many openly fascist accounts and they used to regularly go down (to reappear under a different name with some new numbers attached). Hate speech, racist slurs, calls to violence… verbal scum. You call taking that shit down “censorship”?
Justice Alexandre de Moraes had issued a court order forcing the site formerly known as Twitter to block several users as part of his investigation into the former president Jair Bolsonaro’s attempts to stay in power after his 2022 election defeat.

it looks like they’re trying to protect their democracy? Shutting down a coup and it’s enablers (sounds familiar?) isn’t censorship.
can you elaborate?
as it is, your comment is not comprehensible. Why what? Whose marketing? Marketing for VPN? “Magic bullet” for what purpose?
musk has no problems with taking down political opponents’ xitter accounts when the request is coming from “right wing” governments (rather authoritarian or far-right)
he doesn’t care about freedom of speech, he only cares about his kind of speech. If he refused all take down requests, i would agree with you
Justice Moraes had also said that any person in Brazil who tried to still use X via common privacy software called a virtual private network, or VPN, could be fined nearly $9,000 a day. But after swift backlash across Brazil, including from academics who have supported him, he reversed that move in an amended order late Friday.

sounds feasible except the “blocking the use of vpn apps” part?
Systemic racism and religious discrimination persisted, including against Muslim women and girls. Racial profiling continued with impunity. Excessive restrictions on protests and excessive use of force by police continued. Mass protests and unrest followed the killing of a 17-year-old boy of Algerian descent by police at a traffic stop. Racist, xenophobic and anti-LGBTI vandalism and violent attacks were frequently reported.
Parliament passed highly controversial new laws authorizing the use of mass video surveillance technology by law enforcement and introducing discriminatory immigration, nationality and asylum restrictions.
