People prefer happiness to freedom. I don’t think that democracy is vital to the wellness of a society. It’s just that until now all autocratic societies were ruled by shitheads and they inevitably collapsed. Now we’re seeing an autocratic society that is working fine because it’s being led by intelligent, not-too-selfish people. This is a breath of fresh air since in my opinion democracy is well past its heyday and we have to explore new options.

No indication of what it means. Has anybody tried to download the same picture from two accounts and see if the data changes? Maybe this is some data they embed into the picture for bookkeeping when inside their infrastructure and they forget to strip it when they let you download it.

It’s interesting you say this. I work as a web developer, I consider myself to be more or less well versed in security, and it would have never occurred to me that websites can make requests to devices inside the standard private blocks of addresses. I think it stands to reason that these requests should be blocked in the same way requests to the file:// protocol are blocked.

Twitter was down 7 years ago

Reddit being up for 24 hours or generating pages in less than 3 seconds would be noteworthy.

Victims could not even prevent themselves from being constantly added to the "Jimmy go kill yourself" group.

What’s the difference between inviting Jimmy to that group and just messaging him in private asking him to kill himself? Seems like a pointless feature. (Let’s remember that users you’ve blocked could never add you to groups.)
