I am here to explore the decentralized economy and reap its rewards.

@We_TheTyrants @Mericamemed What else are they going to do with them??

[Asher @Ashercrypt]

I don't really think they are being coerced that much, sure there's pressure from the govt, but companies have always done what they wanted either ways

Theres been lots of fines and suing regarding companies breaking privacy policies...doesn't stop them from still finding ways round it

If the companies do not somehow support it, they would have found ways around it and somehow made the govt give up on pushing it

@DionysianAgent Intresting read

Will have to read more and understand each figure

Can you point me to sources to gain better understanding?

[Asher @Ashercrypt]

This is the fucking problem

White guys have been getting on with the Japanese for a few days now, sharing steak, guns, culture, banter etc

But then comes a nigga quoting another nigga talking about pedophilia and shit

No culture to share or appreciate, jusy trying to muddy their culture cause you have none of yours to be proud

[Asher @Ashercrypt]

Why the fuck did ChatGPT remove the ability to edit earlier prompts.

Being able to tweak from the top and explore different outputs was one of the powerr usage, now you’re locked into whatever you is in the previous chat unless you restart the whole chat.

The Ai was already operating at half power and now its had been further enshitified....

@GamerivGames @Pirat_Nation Another bot account

This doesn't benefit/protect the consumer in any way

Company makes X amount, gorvenment finds out they did something bad, gorvenment fines them about 10% of their earning from the misuse of your data

Company gets aways with 90%, 10% is gorvenment's share

What the fuck is Linux age verification. If I spin up a VM, do I have to fucking provide my ID card? Someone should hang these Californian regulators on a tree

If the average parent is not so bright, the average politician is most times just plain stupid

If stupid people make laws for morons, the outcome is going to be a an average clusterfucked upbringing for the child, which we are seeing some results already

We don't elect smart people into government, we most times elect the loudest idiots, and trust them to put smart people into positions of power(which almost never happens)

[Asher @Ashercrypt]

@gomeshiro @ShitpostRock He knew it was setting a very wrong precedent no matter if he had the space for it or not

Probably because idiots like you called it bitching back in the day also, companies just went along with it until we now have overly bloated software everywhere nowadays

[PerpetualCow.hl @PerpetualCow]

Long ago I discovered the ultimate privacy hack to encrypted communication:

Every app gets spied on no matter what.

Signal, Telegram, Whatsapp, Session literally everything.

It doesn't matter.

Durov gets arrested in France because he won't give up the information to Europe, but his family is fine and free in Russia?

Telegram = Russia
Signal = America
Wechat = China

But the secret is that you can choose which government you want to spy on you.

As a European I only use Chinese apps and devices. Huawei and Wechat.

If I hypothetically want to do bad things in Europe over these chat apps China won't care.

Perhaps they will even encourage it.

Choose the government that supports you. Totalitarian surveillance government arbitrage.

@realAtlasPress @Literariium It's a page from a book stating what a man, Marcus Aurelius said

Not much, but honest work

@debar_fx Finally someone that can see what I see

[Asher @Ashercrypt]

This is how I feel people related in older times, there were no specific classification that we have an abundance of nowadays, except man and woman, the only other thing is by citizenship of whichever country you are from, which can change quite easily

It was more about status, power and what you can do

This father is a LEGEND.
He broke the cycle.

Wait for it...

There are thousands if not millions of porn sites, arresting the big players just create room for smaller players

Restricting access to phones and the technology used to access it until a certain age, to me seems to be a better solution... and even that has lots of flaws

I think at this point we need a deep dive into what pornographic material is and how it affects people. Ages ago, even some recent decades ago, there were nude arts, naked drawings and scandalous party almost everywhere, no matter if kids were around or not, yet people still did great things and the world was fine.

Porn is bad but why is it bad?, why is somebody that people have always seen and disregarded suddenly gained a chokehold on people and lead to negative developments

If we are too fight porn and it's bad effects, cutting off one head of the hydra is not enough, we need to find its root and cut it from there

[Asher @Ashercrypt]

@thenativehare @PolitlcsUK While you are vying for an honorable cause, this is not the way to go

This just makes it worse, people(kids included) will just use VPN anyway or get access to sites that are more dangerous and unregulated than pornhub

This is exposing the kids to more danger
