Originally, yes. It was made to help people in countries with censorship get around censorship.

Nowadays it’s maintained by the Tor Project.

Well it wasn’t made by the US Navy, it doesn’t allow for clearnet traffic, it allows torrenting over the protocol. I’m sure there are other differences too.

It’s like Tor, but different.

At least until Big Tech realizes that hallucinations in generative AI aren’t fixable and the whole stock market crashes.

Wait, they finally banned punching bus drivers?

Yeah. I’ve absolutely heard of Tuxedo before

Don’t forget about the long eyelashes.

Ah, the student loan loophole

And yet the mergers still went through

IIRC Sony allowed Linux to be ran on both the PS2 and PS3 so that they could sell the systems as computers in the US instead of video game consoles, since computers have a lower import tax rate compared fo video game systems.

This was, of course, until Sony removed OtherOS support in the PS3 firmware 3.21 on phat models after shipping Slim units without OtherOS and then got sued for it. It was removed because George Hotz found an exploit in OtherOS that allowed for full access to the hardware, as OtherOS did not have full access to the GPU hardware of the PS3. Ironically, this made the PS3 more of a target to hackers, since hackers generally just want to be able to run homebrew on their devices that they bought. This is why the Xbox One and Series consoles were never hacked, since they allow for homebrew via DevMode.

So you’re posting on the privacy community. Point 4 makes things very difficult, as every smartphone by default ships with either Google apps or Apple apps pre-installed, both of which collect data and send them to their respective companies.

What is your threat model?

The only way to get away from Google or Apple is to install a custom ROM, and OnePlus currently has the best phones for that at the moment, not including Google or Fairphone phones, since they offer unlockable bootloaders. The 12R currently has an AOSP port for it, and the 12 has a WIP port that has yet to be released to the public (but can be compiled from source).

Not even the bare minimum TBH. It’s a half measure compared to the bare minimum, which is descheduling it.

According to this projection, it’s bigger than Africa

Most gas stations are monitored with cameras (often times with facial recognition), so they will be able to see your face and license plate, then charge you with vandalism.

Don’t worry; they’ll just start playing ads in the car itself before you are able to shift gears to drive.

I’ve seen a lot of those. The card gets physically stuck until the machine decides that the payment is completed.

Been starting to infect Reddit as well in the past couple of years, so the old trick of just adding Reddit to a query is no longer helpful.

God forbid I want to see normal peoples’ opinions on what the best [blank] is.

Nah. Someone answered the question 3 years ago on a random Discord channel.

What an apt analogy.

Or Playlet on Roku.
