They've disabled upvoting this story in Hacker News (for me), effectively implementing censorship of content. Most of the stories on Hacker News are manipulated by the mods. Here are screenshots from both Firefox and Chrome:

techntoke··on Tor Browser 9.5
Has anyone had any luck or done any experiments using OnionCat with Multicast? I've heard people can get 200MB/s+ doing this but potentially sacrificing some anonymity.
techntoke··on I was emailed after abandoning a registration form. I did not click Submit
I'd rather quit my job and find ethical work.
techntoke··on Xfce switches to GitLab
Gitea seems much faster. There are plenty of CI platforms that integrate nicely into Git as well without all the bloat.
techntoke··on Image Scrubber: tool for anonymizing photographs taken at protests
People are free to use the source code and run it themselves.
techntoke··on Well-known web sites that port-scan their visitors
It is the default for browsers, even after you install privacy protection extensions.
techntoke··on Well-known web sites that port-scan their visitors
My understanding is that you can use WebRTC and other methods of JavaScript to port scan a computer. Heck, you can literally run BitTorrent on a website using WebTorrent. You could force users to download and share copyrighted movies or other illegal material in the background without their knowledge when they visit your website. The state of the browsers is a disaster and security nightmare. Wasm is only going to make it worse. Soon you'll essentially be running binary blobs when you visit a website. What was supposed to be a permissioned sandbox to protect users, turned into an advertisers and malicious hackers' wet dream.

I think there needs to be more alternatives to JavaScript at this point.

techntoke··on Why is Kubernetes getting so popular?
Why do a comparison? K8S runs on AWS and GCP. They have managed services for setting up one. If you know K8S as a developer, then you simply consume the cloud K8S cluster.
techntoke··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
Are you disagreeing here that Republican voters are not more prone to those behaviors than Democrats?
techntoke··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
When the 50% you're talking about was notorious for calling people snowflakes and betas, yes I do believe they are more prone to advocate for violence, racism, and hate speech.
techntoke··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
Conservatives are too busy playing victim on social media to be worried about how African Americans are unfairly targeted and killed by police. They're mad that the President isn't allowed to encourage it.
techntoke··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
Liberal politicians would be smart enough to call for decentralized syndicated social media solutions. Democrats aren't a party that needs constant media attention in order to polarize America.
techntoke··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
Hacker News frequently threatens censorship, prevents users from responding for several hours, etc. Do you think they should have that right since it is their platform?
techntoke··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
Ideological neutral by whose standards? If conservatives tend to violate TOS more frequently and get blocked/banned, then that is neutral. They are simply enforcing their TOS based on the content.
techntoke··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
Twitter could block him and Trump could continue to sell out America to foreign interests.
techntoke··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
Twitter. It is a private company. If he doesn't like Twitter, rather than complain about Twitter on Twitter he could move to Gab where most of his followers are.
techntoke··on Trump signs executive order targeting protections for social media companies
A twitter post? All the intelligence agencies said their was Russia collusion. Remember the President said... Russia, if you're listening?
techntoke··on Trump signs executive order targeting protections for social media companies
They have none except Trump's Twitter feed.
techntoke··on Trump signs executive order targeting protections for social media companies
They already ban users. This change would fine companies that ban racists and conspiracy theorist because some conservative claimed oppression of free speech.
techntoke··on Trump signs executive order targeting protections for social media companies
I think it may actually be a way to empower companies to gain more access to information. If the companies are responsible, then they will want to sue the users for violations and personally identify them. A side effect is that they will have some government agency deciding what is acceptable or not. Much like China.
techntoke··on Trump signs executive order targeting protections for social media companies
People should look into the Seth Rich lawsuit and Ed Butowsky. Trump forgets his crowd is the one who constantly panders conspiracy theories like PizzaGate and QAnon. This will effectively take them down entirely.

Hurry up and finish a fast decentralized anonymous web before the US turns into China.
techntoke··on YouTube actively deletes anti CCP comments
It depends on the context.
techntoke··on Twitter tags Trump tweet with fact-checking warning
Forgot that repubs don't just want free speech. They want everyone to have to see it and accept their opinion as facts.
techntoke··on Twitter tags Trump tweet with fact-checking warning
I think they'd be happy, dems would be happy and repubs would be happy. Let's make it happen.
techntoke··on Twitter adds a warning label fact-checking Trump’s false voting claims
Just a note that Hacker News frequently censors, shadow bans and blocks comments that don't follow their agenda. Where is the uproar?
