Stadia was actually a good product

That’s how Google decides which ones to kill off.

How dare other companies cheat by having more stringent food standards than the USA? Everyone should be forced to buy and ingest real American salmonella.

I believe it’s called the “master race”.

I don’t understand your comment. Steganography in computing is about hiding messages inside other media, but this doesn’t in itself achieve any kind of encryption. The current discussion is about encryption, and whether it should have backdoors (the answer is no). Even if you hide your message in an image or video file, you still face the question of how to encrypt it. So steganography seems orthogonal to the debate about encryption.

I wish there were some way to enable availability to persist even when torrents’ peak of popularity has passed - some kind of decentralized, self-healing archive where a torrent’s minimal presence on the network was maintained. Old torrents then could become slow but the archival system would prevent them being lost completely, while distributing storage efficiently. Maybe this isn’t practical in terms of storage, but the tendency of bittorrent to lose older content can be frustrating.

Because they continue what they have historically done: outsourcing the most extreme poverty and suffering to the countries they exploit for resources.

I like the guy who’s just casually observing on the left.

How do you know you never had malware if you have no means to check for malware? It’s not like it will announce itself.

They’re not making YouTube videos because people prefer video instructions to text; they’re making them because they can make more money from YouTube than from text. I’m sure loads of people would prefer text.

My understanding is that if you change the contents of a torrent you’d have to create a new torrent to seed the result. You can’t change the contents of a torrent and expect other people to receive the modified files via the original torrent. Your client will be doing a checksum and realizing its local files are corrupt (due to your changes) so replacing them with good copies.

So create a new torrent with the modified files and an explanatory title, and seed that.

Action needs to be organized and have a clear purpose. Disorganized, unfocused action is easily overcome by the powerful. After decades of a very deliberate culture of individualism, we have a psychological mountain to climb in finding our way back to focused collective action. Not to mention that the mechanisms of such action (such as labor unions) have been gradually dismantled for half a century or more.

It’s not my post so you’d have to ask OP to do that.

Perhaps the main differences are:

• Unidirectional tunnels instead of bidirectional circuits
• Fully distributed and self organizing
• Packet switched instead of circuit switched
• Tunnels in I2P are short lived
• i2p puts an emphasis on communicating within the network, whereas Tor puts more emphasis on communicating via the network to outside

Together these provide some additional resilience and protection against traffic analysis compared to Tor, arguably improving security.

There’s nothing that brings out hostility on the internet quite as effectively as suggesting men may have flaws. It’s surprising how many men can’t handle it - which, one might argue, is a flaw. I’m going to hide now.

I don’t see those. I think some instances have defederated from the worst offenders.

I don’t know about Deezer, but Spotify is raising prices while telling artists they will no longer be paid at all unless they reach a certain threshold of popularity. So they’re boiling the frogs on both ends.

The middlemen who neither create nor appreciate music will still do OK though.

There’s two?

I hope that picture is some kind of toilet showroom and not a public toilet.
