I'm all for I2P, it solves some design limitations that Tor has.

And Tor is absolutely not a bulletproof technology.

But please, have some concrete reasons for not using it. "The devs are shady" is about as scientific and useful as "vaccines cause autism"

IMO it's a nice middle ground between a typical Linux system where every app you run has access to everything else you run, vs a system like Qubes where every app is locked down in its own VM

I bought one of those release CDs. I used it to be able to use ppp + my 486's modem to connect to my employer's network which let me WFH on an 80x24 tty.

Well I got an instant no-warning permaban from lemmy.ml

I think it was for a post in which I basically said there won't be peace in the Middle East until there's a lot less religion in the area.

I dunno, you never know who has an easily offended Sky Daddy LOL

He stepped into a political minefield and did a reasonably good job of pointing out some unfortunately too-common offensive and racist positions from an academic discipline and institution that both frankly need to do better.

Given the politics of the present situation, he would have done well to suggest concrete alternatives for a Junteenth recognition that better promotes an inclusive, tolerant society -- and his concrete plan for making that happen, using which Gubernatorial powers (beyond diktat).

I know I'm asking a lot but, he's already made at least one rookie mistake.

LibreWolf saved the spirit of firefox. Screw the Mozilla Board of Grifters. They could have just provided hosting for open source solutions/VPNs and sell lots of swag maybe host an actually good podcast ... but no, they leaned into selling user data WTF

And modern high tech parts are actually pretty traceable. Everything has a serial number and a digital trail.

People compare sanctions to the War on (some) Drugs but really nobody grows custom CMOS chips in their basement

Interesting, that dynamic is in line with the 'radiator' theory of human brain evolution.

From a more recent article:

the shift to an aerobic, hunter-gatherer lifestyle in early Homo, including long-distance running, exerted selection pressures that favored both increased endurance and enhanced brain growth

Edit: ... so, we're not batteries. We're cooling fins.
