From what I understand, they're able to practically make custom audio files for every download. Sharing the time stamps wouldn't work that well. Re-distributing podcasts without the ads would definitely land you in legal trouble, cause every audio file is their "work of art".

Not a problem for ublock because you're editing their work of art for your personal use, and sharing unaltered stuff.

And youtube sponsor block is just sharing time stamps you might be interested in.

AI system that can recognize patterns and auto skip forward?

If you and your partner both have iphones then iCloud should be sufficient for keeping the photos to yourselves if you turn on Advanced Data Protection. I think it requires you and your partner to have two yubikeys at a minimum though.

Photos encrypted at rest, only you and your partner will have access to the keys. If you want the convenience of icloud backup then the government would be able to subpoena your decryption keys from your phone backups, but it's not going to be available for casual employee access.
Automated tagging/face matching is done by your iPhone when it's plugged in so there's some organization. Nothing close to Google's AI organization.

I know Apple is a shit company. But they've learned a thing or two after the Fappening.

Advanced Data Protection should be the minimum setting for you to consider Apple as your photo storage. Your photos will auto upload from your phones, apple has partner sharing so photo libraries will automatically be shared between you and your partner, and they recently implemented a system similar to "signal key verification", but again limited to ADP turned on.

Otherwise you're looking at Proton or Tresorit.

Proton

What is this photo storage thing? All I can find is proton drive.

Can try find your local library? Make a burner e-mail/internet profile there?

No, because the MITM attack is the relevant government walking up to discord with a paper saying "I do what I want"

Man in the Middle = Government subpoena

Bristle1744 , 2 months ago

No, they are very much in the middle. The attack occurs in the middle between sender and receiver. It doesn't matter when the attack occurs, that is the position in the message chain that the government targets.

Rule Ambiguity, Institutional Clashes, and Population Loss: How Wikipedia Became the Last Good Place on the Internet

Scholars usually portray institutions as stable, inviting a status quo bias in their theories. Change, when it is theorized, is frequently attributed to exogenous factors. This paper, by contrast, proposes that institutional change can occur endogenously through population loss, as institutional losers become demotivated and leave, whereas institutional winners remain. This paper provides a detailed demonstration of how this form of endogenous change occurred on the English Wikipedia. A qualitative content analysis shows that Wikipedia transformed from a dubious source of information in its early years to an increasingly reliable one over time. Process tracing shows that early outcomes of disputes over rule interpretations in different corners of the encyclopedia demobilized certain types of editors (while mobilizing others) and strengthened certain understandings of Wikipedia’s ambiguous rules (while weakening others). Over time, Wikipedians who supported fringe content departed or were ousted. Thus, population loss led to highly consequential institutional change.

@manucode I am also in agreement that I don't know how a federated wikipedia solves what made Wikipedia so great. Per the paper above, fringe editors saying "the flatness of the world is a debated topic" gradually got frustrated about having to "present evidence" and having their work reverted all the time, and so voluntarily left over time. And so an issue page goes from being "both sides" to "one side is a fringe idea".

From reading the Ibis page, this seems a lot closer to fandom than the wikipedia. Different encyclopedias where the same page name can be completely different.

Skepchick also had a great video about the topic: https://www.patreon.com/posts/92654496

Guessing fixing child porn propagation isn't the highest priority?

Make it easier for server admins to connect/link to the child porn hash databases, scripts for autobans + deletion of any content, flagging + notify to other servers etc.

It almost seems like Republicans want potential voters to imbibe neurotoxins that will negatively impact their IQ, harm their ability to concentrate, and make them more easily swayed by emotional appeals.

It's probably that they're reaching for straws on anything they can complain about. Which works when their lower iq voters see that there is controversy.

A private company is not storing petabytes of encrypted data on the chance they might turn a profit with that information later. They can't even turn a profit with the useful petabytes of videos they have on YouTube. I can rest assured that every CEO is trying to get the next round of stock buy backs going.

The government totally would harvest petabytes of encrypted data, but they're not revealing their spy program because you want to see muscle orgys. At least until a more religious government is formed.

The bad news is that uploading e-books will involve programming on your part (for your sanity at least).

The good news is that it should be far easier than other mediums.

If you are approaching from a complete safety perspective (cause you live in a fiefdom that owes tribute to the publishers guild), then you're going to want to OCR the pages of the book and use the text to make a brand new book free from metadata. I'm pretty sure a python crash course could get you up and running in a month or 6.

If you want what's closest to the original product, then you'll need a python script that strips everything from the book into just a text document, then re-convert back into your own book. You'll have to review the text document to see if any random code was included in the book like invisible text.

Both options are so simple from a programming perspective that I've never seen scripts to strip e-book protections. A real (the solution is left un-worked as a challenge for the reader). And from what I know, the publishers have switched to focusing on selling hard copies as their bread and butter, and striking deals with libraries for other revenue. Big money is still in mandatory university textbooks.

Cause preachers can talk about Jihads against atheists on talk shows, but somebody says god isn't real and everything they are connected to gets examined for not complying with the first amendment.

Feels like the earlier days of interesting reddit.

I have no doubts bots/hostile actors will find some way to fuck things up. Hopefully the devs can finish up tools to keep those problem actors at bay.

Probably the cut and paste from magazines, but you copy and paste the sentences you want to use.
A lot of extra work, but no AI to rat you out.

Support yachts are the finest way to improve your yachting experience. Not only you will be able to increase the number of guest & crew accommodations, but also the amount of water toys & tenders that are within your fleet. Upgrapding the mothership to obtain the same results usually comes at a much heftier cost than a support vessel. In addition, the support yacht will be able to resupply the mothership while at anchor and make sure that you never run out of food, wines and all the supplies you may ever need.

Bristle1744 , 2 months ago

Obviously you only temporarily need a support yacht. Any day now you'll have your mega yacht with helipad, smaller yacht garage, swimming pool, etc.
