God the narrative of Business Insider is gross.

The only thing making SO decline is that they have a CEO. And that CEO is trying to “compete”.

Just keep being a great platform for Q&A and stop chasing profits. People prefer SO because the ansewrds are trustworthy. LLMs will always bullshit you and never be better than a platform free of AI crap.

Which server do you use that caches messages for you, and how do I know if a given XMPP provider has implemented this functionality?

Also, does it also work with e2ee messages?

Hopefully you mean more residential areas in mixed use. Zoning is cancer that destroys the climate

You’d need much more than hundreds of nodes.

Asymmetric communication allows communication when one party is offline. One of the biggest issues with XMPP is both parties need to be online…

Unless it’s end-to-end encrypted. mastodon doesn’t do that.

You think YouTube will stop Tor users? That’s blocking them from hundreds of millions of users whose internet blocks YouTube without TorBrowseer.

Don’t worry, big evil corporations wouldn’t shut out such huge market segments.

Yes. Alec Muffett was the guy who setup the most popular Tor darkent site: Facebook. I think he did Twitter’s too. He maintains an excellent list.

The US government would never allow Tor to die. They need it to conduct _terrorism cyberwarfare

Yeah, we need to make it illegal to block someone from doing a simple GET request just because they’re using a privacy tool.

It should only be legal to block access based on how you act, not based on how you look.

There are many use-cases for Tor. One is anonymity. One is to bypass censorship. The most popular website on the darknet is Facebook.

It doesn’t “defeat the purpose” of using Tor in Tibet to access a Facebook page.

Yes, that’s the point.

I don’t think a single credible source has shown this to be a vulnerability. You’re talking about an attack that would cost, what, millions of dollars to run per day?

No, bridges are meant to bypass censorship

You’re looking at it from the wrong end.

In fact, the international intelligence community is helping me to launder my drug purchasing traffic.

No, that’s exactly how this stuff works. Lay off 80% of writers and keep all your fact checkers and editors.

Serious question: why do you need to get a permit to change a sign on your own building?

Double ratchet e2ee and asymmetric communication

Scrolling for the Indians who get fiber for pennies.

Worst part about the cable is the packet loss. It’s legit better to get a slow DSL connection in Germany than a faster cable internet because the packet loss makes RTC unusable
