The whole tree network thing is not as proven as many people think.

Didn't Russia promise that if Ukrainian got rid of nukes they would leave them alone?

Wait YouTube had ads? 😉

Thanks the clickbait title really threw me off.

Have been using Firefox on Android for years, it's pretty good with a decent adblocker.

Yeah, Opera tried but eventually just gave up and now uses Blink, Microsoft tried with Edge (Spartan) but gave up and now also uses Blink.

Blink is the render engine made for Chrome

Do you think people that are gay are mentally ill? Do you think those people choose specifically to be attracted to people from the same sex? A lot of the same things can de said about people that are attracted to kids.

I'm not trying to say we should in any shape or form tolerate child abuse. But it's important that we recognize that there are people like this and they didn't choose to be that way. People have no problem to talk about punishment, but don't like to also accept that they are also victims in a way.

I'm not sure that has to be true. Like you can ask an AI to give you a picture of a sailboat on the moon, while it has not ever seen a sailboat on the moon.

It could be trained on photos that are not pornografic containing kids and images that are pornografic containing adults.

Same, sometimes Google sends me to Reddit, it's the only visits they get from me

For me it's more the other way around, had a Twitter account for years. Didn't really use it much, a bit more in the last 2 years. Deleted my account after Elon took over.

Replacing TCP with something else isn't going to change anything to being tracked.

IP adresses aren't fixed (for most people), just disconnect your modem for a few hours and you'll probably get a new one.

You are being tracked by cookies, browser fingerprints, only being able to use a website after logging in, etc.

So this might solve some problems, it's not going to just give you privacy or make you untraceable.

Not so long ago a local news site was being DDOSed. The kid that did it thought he was so smart using a VPN. He bragged online how he could bring any website down (sending those messages from his VPN). Until he was dumb enough to keep his VPN open and open this news site in his browser, because he never logged out he was logged in automatically. So the website admin saw his (known) VPN IP and now knew his account. The account he used before from his actual IP.

That one night where you do get a decent sleep , you'll wake up with a headache. Yay parenthood!
