Yes, yes, we're all familiar with the Patrick Henry quote. If my statement is so ridiculous, then point out why instead of making bald assertions.

I made no argument about the value of free speech. I am arguing that, given the fairly obvious clientele, it is reasonable to assume that principled fealty to free speech was not the driving motivation in Gab's creation. I don't think it's ridiculous to point to the specific content that makes up the majority of Gab and say you would have to be extraordinarily obtuse not to realize what and for whom you were building a social network.

I am not from US, but I remember loud complaints about how Federal Reserve was bailing out banks and the rich vs the non-wealthy folks. My memory of govt reasoning was that they need to help the economy survive to avoid unfamiliar consequences (if they bankrupted the banks for giving bad loans and let home buyers keep their not fully paid homes, the argument was that crediting would stop in the future, which would be a bigger detriment to the not-wealthy).

IOW, government got involved on behalf of the rich claiming to also benefit non-wealthy in the long run.

This is all a bit simplified, and coming from someone only affected transitively (so without full focus on the developments).
pi-hole as a service. How much would that cost / month?

Or could fund it with some targeted ads. Oh, wait.
The root of the prosecution for distributing secrets lies in the espionage act (plus amendments).

When I say someone is a spy I mean "someone sold secrets to a foreign power".
When a US judge says someone is a spy it roughly means "someone divulged classified information and/or ..<list of things>..".

The law considers divulging secrets as espionage because loose lips sink ships: using the espionage act to prosecute anyone posing a threat to national security is the easiest (and practical) way to make a danger harmless.

The main issue with defining espionage like this is the logical confusion that creates in people: quoting Daniel Ellsberg "the current state of whistleblowing prosecutions under the Espionage Act makes a truly fair trial wholly unavailable to an American who has exposed classified wrongdoing".

It's not my job to rule if someone is a whistleblower, a spy, or someone who protests against things he deems wrong through the disclosure of classified material.
What I know is that the US law is bad because it does not distinguish between "someone who sold secrets to a foreign power" and "someone who divulged classified information": these are fundamentally different (illegal) things.

The whole situation gets worse when anybody gets to read stuff like "5. FBI told plaintiff they could not afford another Snowden" and "6. FBI steal plaintiff's cell phone and passport" (https://imgur.com/RMJk7QC).

It's ironic that the onion is "ciadotgov + 4SJW + __ ".
There's so much talk about the growing inequality that I tried to find out what would happen if the rich were mobbed and all the money redistributed.

According to [0] there were 73,110 ultra wealthy US citizens in 2017, i.e. individuals with more than $30m in net worth. The same article says that the average net worth in this group is $120m.

In aggregate this group thus controls 120m * 77 110 = 9.3 trillion dollars.

Since there are around 330m people living in the US this would amount to only a little over 28k per person when redistributed.

We've been through this whole argument before when HDCP was first proposed. I'd imagine this following exactly the same path.
There are a few services that are public DNS with ad blocking, but now you're trusting them with private data. The plus side is that you don't have to run anything yourself.

I run my own knot-resolver server that forwards everything to 1.1.1.1 over TLS and I generate an .rpz that is basically the same filter list as pihole. Most DNS traffic ends up at Cloudflare, so you may as well go straight to the source.

All that does is create a filter bubbles. On subreddits like the_donald, cringeanarchy and others that slowly turned into hate-filled cesspools, there have been users who had a bout of self-realization and left the sub.

Over time, there's a larger exodus of regular people, leaving only the crazies talking to each other.

The only difference you stated is what I said: Gab doesn't actively moderate, and so the discussions there are more fringe but also more free.

What's wrong with freedom? Free speech is a right and this is a platform that guarantees it as much as possible. If you don't want that then you have the right to not use it. I think you'd be surprised at the speech that people use around the world, let alone the actions that are committed, if you think Gab is the worst out there.
I’m not saying I disagree, since I haven’t seen any evidence one way or the other, but maybe you or jtr1 could provide some evidence for those who haven’t been following Gab?
What Video Games Like Apex Legends Can Teach Us About Teamwork and Microservices
Yes, the point is also to limit "merges" of databases, which build extremely detailed profiles from seemingly inconsequential records. As the US Privacy Protection Study Commission wrote way back in 1977,

“The real danger is the gradual erosion of individual liberties through automation, integration, and interconnection of many small, separate record-keeping systems, each of which alone may seem innocuous, even benevolent, and wholly justifiable.”
The scare over this is overblown.

1. If the image quality is good and if you pause the video, the artifacts are pretty obvious.

2. Making meme videos is not a problem. You have to think about serious scenarios and ask yourself whether they were impossible before. In a lot of cases they were possible before without using AI. People edited interviews and staged recorded events since forever.
Yes. Even real news is getting there.
Dog Owners Get More Exercise
Note that OpenStreetMaps isn't about maps. It's about Open Data for Maps. So technically you can use like maps but consider using apps or maps that use OSM.

Great example is MapsMe for Android and iOS. Works offline. However, there are ads in app and probably from Google
There are tradeoffs in all solutions of course.

The pi-hole asks you to choose security over convenience, and you must accept that not all apps and services will work.

That's a personal choice you can make for your own setup in your own home.

Consider this: Just as in aviation, with each nuclear accident we learn more and more about how to prevent the next one. We now know that building next to the ocean is a bad idea. we know now that we need even more redundancy to prevent power outages from causing meltdowns. when you criticize Fukushima, you're criticizing 1970's nuclear technology. Nobody is making the argument to build new 1970's technology.
Bing’s Not the Laughingstock of Technology Anymore
Damn, this is a good point. Just because of network architecture, ultimately somebody-- either the client or the network-- has to have the Final Word on where DNS requests go, and either way opens people up to attacks depending on the scenario. If the client has the Final Word, you can't stop your Chromecast from talking to 8.8.8.8; if the network has the Final Word, you can't trust DNS on foreign networks or use your own resolver.

This makes a lot of sense if the state of the art inside the agency is sufficiently ahead of that outside - experience would be in the wrong stuff.

It might also make sense if they want to pretend that is the case.

You're stretching the definition of fake news to encompass instances that would otherwise not fit. Parent also states that only the church and the royalty had such power. If we are going to extend the definition of fake news to include defamation and false accusations, then the church hardly had a monopoly on the matter since they often responded to such allegations when spread by the commoners.

The overwhelming majority of such cases started as tips or accusations of indulging in superstition (at best) or poisoning and murder (at worst). If false, they would in fact be a prime example of fake news spread by the lower class. The case against Galileo or other re-interpretations of the Bible are outliers if you read actual trial and testimonies.

Therefore I re-iterate my question: what concrete example(s) support OP's assertion regarding this exclusive power of fake news dissemination?
A Chinese friend of mine recently summarized to me a lecture by a senior Renmin University sociology professor that talked about the Tiananmen crackdown and compared that generation of students to the current one (and that generation's leadership to the current leaders). Does anyone know what I'm talking about and/or have an English translation? It sounded very interesting and quite candid, and the professor sounded high enough to have actually met some of the leaders in question.
> They claim the list is there purely for your own personal consumption

The problem is that they are constantly thinking along these lines, and building products to enable this. Also, they are an advertising company, so this is something that is of value to them. Fox guarding the hen-house stuff.

In my mind, its kind of like hiring an IP lawyer at a company. Even if your company is not litigious, there is a chance that at some point the lawyer initiates legal action to "prove their worth" or even advance their career inside the company. Same thing with this, why is Google paying developers to build this product if they're never going to use it? What is the business justification? Its certainly not for PR or marketing reasons.

Having an apparatus ready to go is very different than having no apparatus. This is part of the reason why weapon buildups are bad across the board even if people claim "nobody" is going to use them.
It's funny because you're literally just parroting Trump campaign and Republican establishment propaganda.

The term "fake news" did not appear after Trump's election[0], nor was it created by "liberal capitalists and Washington," nor did any of the stories deemed fake news (ie, Pizzagate, Hillary Clinton's kill count, Hillary Clinton having some neurological disorder) represent any sort of hidden truths slipping through the grip of the establishment.

"Fake news" always meant exactly what it indicated - false news items being presented as truth - until Trump and his supporters co-opted the term and rebranded it into something exclusively invented by his enemies to discredit him.

This is quite troubling and enlightening to the point that I'll have to start redirecting my purchase receipts to a non gmail account.

This one crosses the line! To the point that the only way I can get rid of the older records is to delete the purchase receipts entirely.

I'm all for assuming the people who work there are good eggs with the best intentions, but Cloudflare, Inc. is a U.S. company. As I understand the U.S. legal landscape with regards to data and privacy protection, they could be forced to lie at a moment's notice and not talk about it.

The church and royalty were almost always intertwined, power invested by god into the crown for divine legitimacy and thus has the power to decide what is right and wrong. The clergy also had the skills and resources to read and write, something we take for granted these days, thus control information spread at the communion.

The thing about fake news is that it's only fake when proven to be so.

I was joking about the assertion that millennials refuse to do paperwork, but you are absolutely correct. I currently work at a place that required a government background check due to exposure to confidential information, and even though I have done nothing to warrant anxiety surrounding this, I genuinely was a bit afraid. I have heard many of my peers (college aged students) agree that they would never apply to a three-letter agency because of the same fear.

Having recruiters that further disparage the newer generations and grow increasingly out of touch is doing nothing to boost their numbers, at least in my field. Everyone I know who would be a best fit for their agency is a privacy geek who wants nothing to do with them. Outreach would be an incredibly lucrative opportunity for them to gain talent.
Like what? (earnest question)
It's incorrect to state they have no moderation; they moderate in accordance with US law IIRC. Their policy is detailed here: https://gab.com/about/guidelines
>The "college experience" isn't a myth. I had a much better two years of personal and social development than they did due to the "college experience."

I bought into this. Did a year of Engineering at USC because of it. Had a terrible experience; the "personal and social development" was mostly rich kids posturing. Decided to drop out and go back home. Completed an associates at a community college in 3 quarters, while working as a security intern. My employer paid me to finish my degree online.

> But if money wasn't an option, most people aren't going to pick staying at mom's house age 18-20 like they're still in high school.

With the money I had saved from jobs in highschool for the expensive university I chose I was able to put a down payment on a starter house.

I guess some people may like "the college experience," but to me it was a huge scam. I saved myself from over a hundred thousand in debt, was able to purchase a house which has appreciated over 70%, earned an associates and bachelor nearly for free, and was able to work, earn money, and get promoted for the years I was in school. The "social and personal development" you supposedly miss out on can be supplemented by just getting involved in your community, and was way more real and beneficial than the general bullshit that college kids get into.

I would recommend everyone do 2 years CC and 2 years university instead of 4 years at an expensive uni, and this is coming from someone who thought the 2 year CC and 2 year uni was embarrassing and wouldn't even consider it in highschool
I'm curious about your comment about the migration from smaller towns - this isn't something I've heard about in the US where the recent domestic migration trend is for people to move from midwest/central states to coastal states.

Curious about anyone's experience with adblock for OpenWRT.

I use Pi-hole now, and it works great. The one feature that I use quite a lot is the ability to disable it for a short period of time -- when I'm shopping for something, Google ads are sometimes actually useful!

I'd say I use that feature about once a month. That's the sum value of advertising for me.
Pi-hole is fantastic! I run it on my Rockpro64 at home.

The issue is that you can make considerably more money using ads that 'track' you.

So instead of one ad being enough to pay for your content, you have to fill your website with banner ads, embedded ads, scroll over ads, animated ads, etc etc.

It's a slippery slope, more people use adblockers causing content creators to add more advertisements to generate the same amount of income. More people are bothered by the increase in ads, and download adblockers themselves. Rinse and repeat until ad supported content is unrealistic for all but the biggest of websites.

And I'm pretty sure even checking location is controversial. I've at least seen it included as part of tracking in the past.

> I'd prefer to pay, anonymously, but as people clearly won't cos they want free stuff at any cost, advertising will persist. It's a social problem not a technical one.

It's more of a content quality issue. There are examples where large numbers of people will pay for quality content (example [1]). Large swathes of 'content' is junk (clickbait, listicles, submarine articles, actual fake news, etc) and few will pay for that.
