Reddit still has an onion service but is defacto unusable

More like compliment. One of the main recommended ways to use whonix is within qubes

Remember to disable the dht if you use this.

People used to believe that animals could generate from the earth. The ecosystem used to be viewed as a mystical thing that would take care of its self and no mere man could significantly influence. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_generation

Yes

Would selenium Python bindings meet your needs? https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/

I use xpra to run apps in VMS but seamlessly render them on my desktop. Allows me to have a qubes type workflow without using qubes. Probably not quite as secure, but you can disable features for untrusted servers.

Sesta and fosta reduced 230 a bit and had a measurable impact on web freedom. Craigslist removed personals, most notably.

What impact would the loss of 230 have on p2p? Would a bitcoin node operator become liable for criminal transactions people make? Would Tor nodes become even riskies than they are to run? Would participating in the torrent DHT become risky even if I only torrent Linux isos?

Interesting, do you have a source? All fully p2p networks are vulnerable to sybil attacks to some extent, but specifically a source that Tor actively has enough "government nodes" to de-anonymize everything.

I went to the launch party they had during defcon, it was a lot of fun. I like that Veild is oriented toward being an application framework. In the same way that we have things like libsodium to use cryptography in our apps without being a master of it, we need frameworks/libraries to help build privacy oriented apps as well.

You can also recoup some of the cost by attaching your Boinc to Gridcoin: https://gridcoin.us/

That's what I'm wondering. This is regarded as one of the strongest privacy laws in the US and yet I all but entirely forgot it existed as I don't recall any cases against big tech with this law in the last 5 years.

but apparently it only protects 'subscribers' in a financial sense:

In a continuing effort to limit consumer's privacy violations, Malley filed a class action involving Hulu in 2012. A San Francisco federal trial court found the VPPA's subscriber protections apply to users with Hulu accounts.[10] In 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit found that those protections do not reach the users of a free Android app, even when the app assigns each user a unique identification number and shares user behavior with a third-party data analytics company.

As long as your hearts content isn't commercial

Tor browser connects to the Tor network - which isn't telemetry but the post said not everything listed is telemetry.

They didn't even check if Go was taken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go!_(programming_language)

It can be used to track you across the web, get a general geographic area, and if you have the right connections one can get the ISP subscriber address. Given that PII is anything that can be used to identify a person, I think it qualifies despite it being difficult for a rando to tie an IP to a person.

Additionally in the case of ipv6 it can be tied to a specific device more often. One cannot rely on ipv6 privacy extensions to sufficiently help there.

"The furnaces of the world are now burning about 2,000,000,000 tons of coal a year. When this is burned, uniting with oxygen, it adds about 7,000,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere yearly. This tends to make the air a more effective blanket for the earth and to raise its temperature. The effect may be considerable in a few centuries."

Yeah, it is for similar reasons that you (legally) shouldn't set booby traps against burglars.

Imagine you were distributing my work without permission and in retaliation I emailed you gross-out sexually explicit imagery. That would both be a crime and be unethical by current standards.

OP is not emailing people, but it is the same thing: revenge using explicit imagery. Except not only might the people behind the sites see the image but their visitors which probably include minors will too.

I would argue showing nonconsentual explicit imagery is worse than iframing someomes app. Just show a non nsfw troll meme or block it outright.

2015 - it's a scam, no companies accept it

I have actively tried to use bitcoin to pay for daily life stuff in 2022/2023 and its basically impossible without converting to fiat. The only 2 bills I can pay directly with it is my VPS host and AT&T. I can't buy groceries with it, pay my rent, fuel my car, or see a doctor. I was once able to buy steam games and Chinese food with it but both have since dropped it.

I would not call bitcoin a scam but I also would not say it is useful currency for Americans.

At least for some users, they eventually start completely disabling the video.

If you look at the top employers for any given medium sized town it will usually be school systems, a hospital, jail, and a Walmart.

If you're lucky you also get a distribution center or meat packing plant!

Makes me sad that billions got poured into cryptocurrency-sphere projects but classic p2p barely scrapes by.

There is even a desktop environment written in Go: https://fyshos.com/desktop/

What's the motivation for people to host model layers in the public swarm?

People who run inference and fine-tuning themselves get a certain speedup if they host a part of the model locally. Some may be also motivated to "give back" to the community helping them to run the model (similarly to how BitTorrent users help others by sharing data they have already downloaded).

Since it may be not enough for everyone, we are also working on introducing explicit incentives ("bloom points") for people donating their GPU time to the public swarm. Once this system is ready, we will display the top contributors on our website. People who earned these points will be able to spend them on inference/fine-tuning with higher priority or increased security guarantees, or (maybe) exchange them for other rewards.

It does seem like they want a sort of centralized token however.

Whonix when used via Qubes DispVMs is more effective than Tails in my opinion (better protection against IP leaking), unless your goal is mainly the amnesic aspect.
