I wonder if Poole has done any interesting interviews on the intersection of 4chan and the modern fascist propaganda machine it bred.

Excellent set of resources - ty for posting them

I think we severely underestimate how much better life would be if we changed away from this paradigm. There are alternatives.

Also seen in Mexico - incredibly annoying if you are trying to see where the fuck to go

Edit: and the stupid ads are like a whole minute or two, so you need to stand there like an idiot waiting to see where to go while hating everything this represents

Tesla initially projected sales of 500,000 Cybertrucks annually and established production capacity at the Giga Texas for 250,000 units per year.

I’d have guessed coke, not ketamine, as drug of choice to make these estimates. Maybe he’s already counting federal agencies to be stiffed with the cyberwanker?

100%

It’s as crazy as foreigners holding Chinese stocks

That’s because syphilis hasn’t mushed your brain

Did you see the vid where he thinks Spain is the S in BRICS?!

So we are relying on the censor to tells us what they don’t censor?

AFAIK, and I am open to being corrected, the American models seem to mostly negate requests regarding current political discussions (I am not sure if this is still true even), but I don’t think they taboo other topics (besides violence, drug/explosives manufacturing, and harmful sexual conducts).

If they are admittedly censoring, how can you tell what is censored and what’s not?

Came across this a couple days ago. Haven’t read it yet, but might have some useful stuff.

Pro-democracy Organizing against Autocracy in the United States: A Strategic Assessment & Recommendations

Wait - so this is the CCP directly censoring a whole worldview from its citizens.

But I was told on several lemmy threads that the CCP lets their users consume any content, and all the censorship is American propaganda to make the great leader look bad.

Why is it a different product then? Does it allow the same content? Same algorithm?

Or is it different, and not an actual carbo copy?

Thank you.

I think I remember it was when Proton complied with Swiss subpoena and provided user account info requested by US. I clarified my nebulous comment in another thread here.

That makes sense, thank you. Clarified my nebulous comment a bit in another thread.

That all makes sense.

I did some digging to see what was that I had read, and I think it was a case a few years back of Proton complying with a Swiss subpoena requested by US, investigating death threats to Fauci. Proton disclosed (limited) information about the account that sent those emails.

I think because Proton promised complete privacy, and did provide user information, it ended in my brain as “Proton is not as private as they tout it to be”.

I am not advocating for protections of highly illegal acts, but since:

1. PGP encryption is only good if both ends use keys, and
2. Proton complies with Swiss law requests

I stored Proton in my “Marketing bullshit” cabinet and never opened an account. Other than not selling my info to advertisers, it seems the same as Apple email, for example.

I am not a security expert, but I remember reading Proton is not really secure?

Edit: expanded in comment below. I think what I remember is “Proton is not really any more “secure” than other email providers.”
