I am really confused here. The content itself is actually well researched and good (rare for privacy content), but the symbolism is very obvious here. And from how much I have been in the darknets and underbellies of internet, loli and nazi themes can be an occasional occurrence.
My intent is not to tolerate nazism, but evaluating VPS hosters credibly is extremely rare, as most who do it are affiliate sellouts. I would not give a shit if it was just some modest anime character, but the band…
What do I do?
Edit: well I guess whoever missed seeing this article, bad luck. It has been up for 2 days, and I had no clue about it, and nobody reported it before. Removing it.

Taxes are a bad thing when the imbalance of rich vs poor is colossal, especially in a capitalist economy. Taxing the rich will generate far more development, by your assumptions. And public usually does not get returns proportionate to paying taxes.
It died long ago, when you people started to pay half of your money as taxes, while your country regardless of party in power was subservient to USA and NATO.
I don’t hate apple. Especially from a privacy record, they actually have a far superior history than essentially every other hardware manufacturer out there.
Is there a source that has independently verified and tested this claim? Or is this a fabrication of strings made out of your asshair?
iPhone does not allow you to have privacy due to its blackbox nature, and is simply a false marketing assurance by Apple to you. Recently, an unpatchable hardware flaw was discovered in Apple’s T1 and T2 “security” chips, rendering Apple devices critically vulnerable.
Apple’s CSAM mandatory scanning of your local storage is a fiasco that will echo forever. This blog article should be of help. But they lied how their system was never hacked. I doubt. They even removed CSAM protection references off of their website for some reason.
Pretty sure atleast the most coveted privacy innovation of App Tracking protection with one button tracking denial would work, right? Pure. Privacy. Theater.
Surely this benevolent company blocked and destroyed Facebook and Google’s ad network ecosystem by blocking all those bad trackers and ads. Sigh. Nope. Now it is just Apple having monopoly over your monetised data.
Also, Android’s open source nature is starting to pay off in the long run. Apple 0-day exploits are far cheaper to do than Android.
Microsoft giving US military their Clearview database for US military goggles
AI being trained for Boston Dynamics war robots
all Big Tech companies suddenly gathering data with AI
Google Pixels having NPU core since many years to help with training via Google Photos
Google and Cloudflare getting people to train their image detection database for free using Recaptcha and HCaptcha for many years by acting like they are gatekeepers of websites protecting site owners from spam and bots
Adobe openly saying using their product = hippity hoppity all your created works are mine
Apple training their databases using CSAM as excuse
plenty more events… if anyone is determined enough
All this is public information and not made up theories.
I am pessimistic about scripts being able to handle this, since it is a server side manipulation of streaming packets. It might be interesting if instead of seeing ads, a workaround is invented where the ad is not shown to user and video remains black and silent for that duration, and Google gets to hear such a thing has happened. If they get angry about it, it might reveal more about what they desire with forcing watching ads for people.
Video hosting isn’t as expensive as we are often lead to believe,
Then do it yourself. Video hosting is the most expensive form of hosting you can do on internet, and no other form of media even comes in the ballpark (games, photos, audio, text, databases). YouTube is running on CIA money. None of us can pull off what they do, because the fucking US government is running YouTube in an indirect way. Wanna know who owns Utah data centers? That’s right, US government agencies and its little puppet corpos.
Tiktok, as colossal as it is, does not even compare because it hosts merely 30-60 second video clips. YouTube hosts an average of 10 minute videos and countless hour long documentaries and video essays. Even the likes of MindGeek owned porn sites are tiny compared to what YouTube hosts. Vimeo, Dailymotion, Facebook, VKontakte, Bilibili, none of those ever became as big for video hosting.
The reality is we have lived as freeloaders since the 90s, and many of these Big Tech services should not have been free in the first place. Now we are used to the convenience of these digital drugs. I forgot who talked about this once in a blog, but I will echo that message, and am unapologetic for this blackpill.
Do you also call public forums garbage for privacy? Or FB Messenger garbage for public information sharing? You do not understand the purpose of different types of platforms.
Well, you managed to bait me, troll me, and personally stalk my 4 month and 10 month old posts, all because I told you as a mod to stop trolling people based on reports I received. You even openly said you will create alts to evade bans if you received any. It is certain that you are an asshole of colossal proportions.
You are getting an immediate ban, because you are gaslighting others and me into creating nonsense beliefs about me, even though you are the one behaving badly with everyone. I do get it now why mods quickly get tired of trolls who go this far, and end up creating stereotypes of people who catch their attention in negative manner.
If they compress screenshots like Microsoft does, or like Instagram does (73% quality JPG), they can store 4 screenshots in the space of a regular 100% quality JPG, which means 90-100 KB per. Assuming a screenshot every 10 minutes, in a span of 8 hour computing per day, each day takes up a mere 5 MB. This is close to what SOG/Mutahar demonstrated on YouTube recently, 8 MB per day. A month of screenshots is merely 250 MB. And this does not even account for MS having a LLM model to sort through screenshots and discard useless ones, which might give roughly 30% more efficiency. We are looking at about 1.2 GB storage for 6 months of screenshots.
Recall allocates 25 GB on 256 GB storage, so that is 10 years of screenshots. If MS decides they can ramp up speed of screenshots and grab even more information.
Hahaha. Good observation for sure, but I am not his alter ego. There are massive differences, and it is only unnecessary behaviour that I talk against like this. I modulate my responses according to who is talking what. Sometimes I end up looking spicy due to that. We’ve had our little moments too, and you can probably now understand why.
That project belongs rightfully alongside those other brand cults. Also you are definitely acting in weird manner lately with many Lemmy users, and you even stalked me when I told you to stop trolling.
You are definitely not the authority to judge me on honesty. I think that is reserved for people with experience with anonymity and activist level privacy.
Also just letting you know as mod, I have received some reports on you, but let it slide to give you a chance. You are not making much out of that chance. If you have nothing constructive to say, stay silent.
Does Braxman have the guts to call out the source of the problem — Western/NATO establishment — itself? Microsoft is a mere tentacle of the hydra that is NSA, which is a mini hydra of CIA. CIA in itself is a tentacle of NATO.
If he does not, he is just another component in aiding west, in trying to pretend that Microsoft is some isolated problem. Big Tech companies are not isolated enemies, even though western privacy community loves to group think as separate brand fandom camps.
The day people are ready to go to the lengths I go in criticism and honest dialogue, that day is when privacy community might start to see its golden days. Until then, it is just all this breadcrumbs and scraps thrown to the dogs regularly, achieving nothing more than feelgood placebo effect. Too many people here love to suck the cock of Apple/Google/Brave/GrapheneOS and all these anti-privacy cultist monoliths.
