The military goes in and splits up their communities by murdering them on behalf of logging and mining companies.

Claiming Stepan Bandera was killed for being an "Anti-Soviet activist" is on par with saying "In 1945, German animal rights activist committed suicide after a long campaign of personal harassment".

He lead an ideologically pro Nazism terrorist organization that slaughtered entire villages in Poland for being 'racial inferiors', especially targeting jews, and intended to continue ethnic terrorism indefinitely until a "racially pure" state was formed from seized Ukrainian, Russian and Polish land.

There genuinely were people targeted and killed for the crime of anti-Soviet activism. Don't lump them in with men who herded the "wrong" Slavs and Jews into trucks to be slaughtered in German camps, who ordered babies heads smashed against barn walls and women to be raped and decapitated.

"Sex traffickers are using the human powers of speech and locomotion to aid in the coercion of their victims"

Lobsters blocking UK users because it's a highly reactive hugbox*

I hope this is poorly phrased or I am misunderstanding it, because it feels like it's implying that Matrix's terrible scaling issues will have their fixes paywalled. Even non-federated homeservers chew up RAM and CPU like candy when you get too many users.

It's heavier than any other protocol or chat program I know.

Mac baby discovers you can use Whois info for details on who owns a site. More at ten.

It's not an attempt to try, it's reputation management. There is no 'anonymization' of data, because the advertising companies Mozilla is selling your data to now have almost 20 years of profiling that can effectively identify people through "anonymous" results. This has been known for years. Mozilla knows. They don't care.

Sadly, not All-American anymore. The US police force doesn't exist in a vacuum. There is a whole industry of pseudoscientific interrogation techniques that has set itself up in other nations and regressed their policing by decades. Several states in Australia, and I believe parts of the UK, removed the polygraph as a discredited technique and now accept it as evidence once more.

Copyright was invented by a cartel of noblemen, the British Stationer's Company, who, due to liberal reform, were going to lose their publishing monopoly. The implementation of copyright law as they helped pen allowed them to mostly continue their position while portraying it as "protecting the little guy".

Funny how both the rhetoric and intentions are the same after three hundred years.

Trademark isn't copyright, so no.

There's nothing heroic about supporting a government that institutionalized pedophilia (Bacha Bazi), ran entirely on corruption, and passively accepted the sale of opium out of kickbacks from warlords. Especially not one installed through a foreign invader.

The Taliban are awful, but they're the awful legitimate government of Afghanistan. And they've already ended two of these problems. If you inform against a paramilitary that has no concerns with rule of law, you're already inserting yourself into their war and accepting the risk of being outed.

Manning leaked multiple files relating to the execution of surrendering fighters and murder of civilians. "Collateral Murder" being the big one.

I hate to break this to you, but Trump was and is a participant in liberal democracy, not a March on Rome figure.

Australia is on an America-led course to humiliate and destroy whistleblowers. Our governments were upset in public, but no doubt cheering on Assange's treatment in private. Just look at what they did to David McBride.

DXM is absolutely more mind altering than caffeine. What do you mean?

RARBG was taken down by its owner's incompetence. He was paying several hundred dollars a month for bandwidth that costs tens elsewhere.

I hate to break it to you, but yeah. There are, sadly, many countries in the world that rely on petty and punitive action on harmless things online in order to frighten would-be "troublemakers".

It's not just Russia, either. The UK does this almost three times as often.

'Slop' has been used to describe low quality, mass produced web content for at least five years. Media is behind the curve, as usual.

While what is described here is a legitimate political movement, it's important to remember most 'militias' in these contexts are very often funded by, part of, or become rival criminal groups.

I remember watching Vice lionize rival Cartel thugs as "fed up anti-Cartel paramilitaries". I had to laugh.

SQLite is nice and simple, but I don't think I'd ever use it for a larger project I knew was going to have a sizable database.

Modern AAA games are meant to be disposable, with a killswitch for when the next consumable is released. This isn't possible with community servers. They don't want longevity. Cheating is an entirely self-inflicted problem caused by this. Self-policing communities with moderation tools are far more effective.

These companies are so greed driven, that they lobby to make cheating a federal offence and for private police raids and private house searches, instead of making a healthy community based on previous experience. As has, disturbingly, already happened in Australia (https://torrentfreak.com/images/gtaorders-1.pdf)

Misinformation has been the backbone of campaigning and lobbying for generations. It's suddenly a threat, because the people performing it are afraid YOU may be able to, also.

Every other VPN on the planet seems to have no such issue. This is very odd.

"Regulatory capturists drum up support for regulatory capture"

Section 230 prevents small hosts from going to jail because somebody illicitly used their site for pirate uploads or illegal speech. Don't be naive. No section 230 means no 'small internet', because anybody can get you criminally charged.

The removal of comparative protections in the UK is why British web communities collapsed, from small forums to huge communities like Liveleak. We shouldn't pretend this is good.

You can make any part of the Pyramids with primitive hand tools. In fact, material scientists have, to prove a point. Quartz is harder than the stone used for them, and diorite can be used to to smooth quartz.

More than an ordinary laborer, much more than an agricultural slave, and you also had social esteem and a higher spiritual acclaim. This all means a LOT in a highly stratified society, like Ancient Egypt. You don't give such things to slaves.

Some of the Pyramids were the largest structures in human history until the industrial age. They're definitely worthy of being considered their own category.

No, they aren't. They actively remove content that has been subject to a legitimate takedown request. As has been the case many times when I've tried to use them for piracy.

It's ridiculous to blame a decades long ethnic conflict that already had established routes of propaganda through the state on Facebook. You can also see no noticeable increase in violence correlating with internet access.
