Well, let me start with this gorilla they called Harambe…

Older men are generally already in a position of benefit, locked in a system where they cannot be taken down from their position of power. Reforms are coming at the beginning of the chain (entrance to university, internships and early job opportunities). Young men in families where their father/grandfather were in systems that benefited them - and also nepotism - have the understanding they will need to do very little to succeed. They have not put the effort in because they were told they would not have to compete.

Have a look at old laws for where you live in the world. Find out whether your mother or grandmother actually had the opportunity for higher education, or even whether she could get/keep a job after she had children and then form your own conclusions from there.

Hey look if you start taking away white male privilege they freak out when they find out people of other races, genders and creeds are better than them, who knew?

I have no idea why people think translation is a perfect one to one exercise or why translation app don’t have options to tweak for “direct” or “interpretive” or even “poetic” translation sources or even just minor context options

I remember this being discussed at length on various forums at the time (the legality, questions about what would happen if it all fell into the sea.) but as with so much of the Internet, it appears to have been largely lost. Luckily I was not imagining things this time and did find a couple of references.

Remember when they tried to buy Sealand?

Your reminder that Nintendo 64 games on the Nintendo Switch are using an open source emulator that Nintendo has not contributed to or endorsed in anyway, and is believed to be using game ROMs collected by preservationists.

I’m not scared of governments surveying me, as someone who has worked for several national and local governments, they don’t have the time or budget. I’m not scared of advertisers surveying me, they’re just going to try and sell me something anyway. I’m not scared fo data brokers, they don’t want my data, they want to sell it to some one else for a profit and don’t really care about it.

What I am afraid of is someone I’ve pissed someone off and that any of the groups above don’t care about my data enough to protect it from the asshole who will use it vindictively.

A lot of paranoia on this community :(

There’s a few sign in checks (The variety makes me think Disqus or something similar.), a couple of keep alives, your phone registering for Wi-Fi calling, Fallback DNS requests, a couple of CDN requests which I would get is likely update checks and finally YouTube content for NewPipe. I think I’m seeing five tracking cookies based on the rest of your apps here, probably being sent “Do Not Track” requests.

For me, it’s the blog posts, written with a level of arrogance and condescension that they are “fixing” the limitations of TCP\IP and if you aren’t using them, you’re making the Web worse for everyone

I was meaning more in the “trusting Google” sense, how is this different to trusting VeriSign?

Can someone explain to me how this is different to the trust system used by SSL Certificates?

I guess I’ll be looking into Prowlerr then 😆 does Prowlerr still require Mono?

Have a look at Jackett, it re-produces the search results for hundreds of torrent sites as Torznab feeds, what that means is that these can then be added to indexes for Sonarr and Radarr.

I just don’t get how these providers (Specifically Reddit with the API lockdown and now the stranglehold on mods, Twitter’s new login requirement, and YouTube now cracking down on adblockers) are missing the point that their sites live and die by user generated content.

I understand these sites are hugely expensive to run, but if you keep alienating those who are bringing users to your site in the first place, people will stop submitting and people will stop visiting.
