3. Corporations and the government are MERGING in the USA.

Biden just hired a tonne of ex-big tech staff to work on tech oversight policy, lol.


Gab is great and will survive long into the future because users of the website pay to use it. Rather than being sold to advertisers. Value for value exchange.

Look past the religious aspect and you'll see the content on there is much less toxic than on Twitter.


extremist = anything you don't agree with


You were the first commenter on this thread. Your comment was removed because all you did was call Krebs a “loser.” Did he shut down your carding network or what?


Please don't cross into personal attack.


Not quite.

> DDoS-Guard CEO Evgeniy Marchenko maintains the company has done nothing wrong, and that DDoS-Guard does indeed have a presence in Belize.

So they acted without any investigation because "uh oh, here comes the mob".


You're quoting a paraphrase of a statement from the CEO of the company about to get the majority of their IPV4 space revoked. Of course they're going to maintain that they're in the right.

Where did you find that LACNIC didn't investigate this?


Where's that quote from? The article points out they make no mention of any Belize presence, and LACNIC spent several months investigating the tip, which happened in November. That hardly seems reactionary.


sorry to be an ant-fucker, but reactionary basically means conservative


Different usage of reactionary.


there is no different usage. Look it up


The rest of the sentence that you improperly quoted:

> DDoS-Guard CEO Evgeniy Marchenko maintains the company has done nothing wrong, and that DDoS-Guard does indeed have a presence in Belize.

Which clearly does not support anything else in your comment, or rebut anything in the comment you're replying to.


Way better -> https://pypi.org/project/q/


The fact that it can only output to a single hardcoded file already proves that it is not way better in the general case.


The BBC is a propaganda arm of the state, IMO they should be defunded significantly.


Would you say that about all state funded news or is the BBC uniquely worse?


*Oracle


I've been at the receiving end of Elastics selling tactics and pricing. Elastic is the new Oracle was my conclusion. IIRC the pricing was along the lines of $12k per CPU Core or GB of RAM. Straight from the nineties.


In my experience it was that by Node regardless of how many cpus or ram the node had.

Regardless very expensive.


And Mongo is something similar as well. Just running single instance (on infrastructure that you pay for) might cost about 3k or more per month.


Personally moved from using Firefox for the last 15yrs over to Brave after the Mozilla CEO called for further internet censorship this week. Sad.


This is a wild exaggeration, I suggest people read the post in question before parroting on disinformation: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-d...


Exactly how is it an exaggeration? I cannot fathom how anyone can not interpret that as a call for more censorship.


There's 4 bullet points in that link. None of them are related to censorship.

I can 100% understand how some people can conflate "deplatforming" with censorship (there is an argument to be made that they're the same thing), but this isn't calling for deplatforming.

It specifically states: deplatforming has been done, but what we actually really need is these 4 extra (non-censorship-related) things.

I'm curious to hear an explanation of how either of the following 4 things are censorship:

1. advertising transparency

2. selection algorithm transparency

3. algorithmic boosting of fact-checked sources

4. funding academic research into the impact of online platforms


"Advertising transparency" would certainly have a chilling effect on speech. Also, the article clearly supports the censorship that has already occurred by saying that "Additional" action is needed which is quite a bit more than just "deplatforming has been done".


You sound like the parrot.

"We need more than deplatforming"

"Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms."

Right from your link. Wake up.


Ugh. I bounce between Chrome, Firefox, and Brave. I really want to be able to support Firefox, in order to diversify the browser ecosystem, but every year or so they do or say something that just makes me want to wash my hands of them forever.


The author sounds like he wants to just be a web Designer. In which case he can work inside his browser, using tools such as WebFlow.
