  • no need for any further explanations

    see that's the difference. With monero you can get the entire explanation from the FOSS code

  • Arguably you could use some digital ID like the EU, that identifies you as a human but not which human, using fancy cryptography. With worldwide rollout this would give you all 3

  • Fair enough though imo often using half-measures for privacy doesn't provide meaningful gain. If you aren't willing to go the full mile, just pay for USENET using your credit card, you'll be fine unless the feds are actually specifically after you, in which case pre-paid visa+cash work help either.

  • To actually do this "anonymously" you would need to:

    • wear masks to defend against cameras, without looking so suspicious that they don't target you more heavily (ask for id, ask you to take your mask off, etc)
    • walk funny to defend against gait detection
    • launder the cash beforehand, ideally a couple times

    Too much trouble, pass. Do any USENET services accept Monero?

  • I'm running into similar issues, do you mind expanding on your solutions?

  • You're not contradicting what I said. Apple gets to choose whether they want to cooperate or not, based on their own "morals" and profit motives. Chinese companies don't get that choice

  • Good thing it takes one click to change exit

  • Still works using Tor Browser

  • Can't redlib operators just use a reddit account for? Login to get past the login wall, and then fetch requests for other users

  • Apple makes computers? You can turn an Apple computer into a router in 10 minutes using docker

  • It's not "AI". Doesn't exist.

    At this point it doesn't matter what you call it. The results are real.

  • At least in the west the companies can fight back, like Apple has done a few times. In China the government can force companies to do their bidding.

  • Fair point, I've seen the rudeness myself. There's way to be constructive in criticism, and that should be taught as well

  • I think it's talking about parents who say "say daddy" to the baby. If the baby was just parroting back, they would say "say daddy" back, but if they just say "daddy", then it implies that they know what "say" means

  • LLMs are trained to be sycophants, quick to praise and agree, in order to keep the user satisfied. This allows poor practices and behaviors to persist, at least until the user joins a team and becomes aware of their issues. Stackoverflow actually calls people out and teaches how to do research, and write informed questions. I got called out for some of my first few questions, and almost never after that, because I learned to do proper research and write proper questions.

  • Can you elaborate on "bro culture"? I never felt like my interviews or code reviews were very fratty

  • old.reddit requires login? Interesting that it works without javascript then. While new reddit requires javascript.

  • Is TechLinked still going? I remember that was my favorite sub-channel

  • Ok that makes sense. As a user I've always wondered what it was like from the providers perspective. I always hear people complaining that more and more websites block VPNs, but sounds like it might be better to say more and more websites block scrapers and the VPNs are collateral. Thanks for the insight
