Not just a right, but a duty; and most of us are not doing our share.

The Hama's/PIJ rockets aren't able to be meaningfully aimed, they have no guidance systems.

The IDF missiles, though, most certainly do.

Most of the Western world understands well what Israeli's have suffered. Many fewer understand what Palestinians live under.

UK secret police taking the gloves off on a well-connected former diplomat?

And most of the interrogators questions were about financial systems?

I particularly noticed:

Under the 2019 Counter-Terrorism and Border Act, which has been harshly criticized by the UN, an individual can be said to be serving “hostile” foreign powers without even knowing or intending to — or the powers in question being aware they are.

Genetics is why. I used to have a Chinese friend who could out-drink me any time, but he would be beetroot-red after the first glass :-D

Whilst I like Nostr exactly as it is, I'm willing to build a more accurate "undesired content" filter if people want better filtering options. BoW filter + a six-layer CNN would understand quite a bit of context. The sticking point is building/getting a consistent, quality dataset of labeled examples and counterexamples.

NIPS-56 reports are dumpster-fire quality.

And after reading this depressing thread (not your fault ppl!) I'm wondering how many people on any network even sincerely want content filtering rather than an excuse to exercise dominance over other users...

Cry. Rage against the Heavens. Soliloquyize. Drink overpriced liquor.

And then quietly fork the source, and reach out to others to help. A FOSS project can always return to life as long as one "Horcrux" of its code still exists.

Very good question.

If you want to know which car is the most secure, don't ask a car salesman. Ask a car thief. Find out what the thieves use.

This is also true for techniques for the communication of private information.

https://www.torproject.org, using bridges, will continue to work if there are ANY free nations left. Or at least carelessly governed unfree ones.

Assuming large-scale international connectivity remains a thing. A "Balkanised" internet is a bigger threat to Tor than KYC.

If you can't foresee where we are going at the moment, let me paint the picture for you that gets repainted every 4-8 years as we cycle through this political theater of false dualities and ideological group think where it's death and ridicule by association, and the people who were once defending your free speech are now calling for you to be censored or jailed.

All the "conspiracy theorists" and people who were generally anti-establishment and once unified with a lot of the conservative voices against the Biden admin, vaccines, war in Ukraine, and all the other big topics before Israel and Palestine conflict escalated to the world theater stage, are now systematically being cut out of those groups on this one issue of Israel, and associated with the likes of Greta Thunberg, BLM, and all the other embarrassing groups that are now protesting and criticizing Israel for war crimes and corruption and defending Palestinians.

It doesn't matter if you are in agreement with the conservative groups like Crowder, Shapiro, Bongino, and the many other big names on 90% of issues and don't align with the insufferable woke cult on pretty much anything else. Because you think Israel is corrupt and ran by war criminals just like every other nation in the world and doing awful things to their own people (mRNA lab rats) along with the Palestinian people, you are now one of them and being called "Hamas terrorist sympathizers" by people like Crowder and Shapiro, and other ideological gross oversimplifications because you don't blindly bend over for the death cult propaganda.

The political pendulum is now swinging back to cut you off with them, just as it did to conservatives and Trump supporters around COVID when Biden became president.

When Biden was first elected, it was the conservatives who were censored, persecuted, and ostracized on the issue of COVID/Vaccines and government being tyrannical, with the liberals defending it and the establishment narratives.

Now it's the conservatives who are advocating for censorship and defending the establishment narratives, with same ol propaganda of the "war on terrorism", and the mentality of "if you're not with us, you're against us."

This is what happens before and immediately after every election, and way too many people are still oblivious to how this works and why it's so effective at dividing and conquering.

If you thought the COVID censorship was bad, just wait until they start using the anti-Semitism "hate speech" laws to censor and imprison you, which were coincidentally signed in many countries and states in the last few years. Trump signed an anti-Semitism EO just before he left office, as did Desantis, and now the Israeli government with emergency powers allowing them to take your property and imprison you if you do anything to "harm national morale".

Don't you see what's happening yet?

They're coming for all of us.

Eeek! Are files containing thoughtcrime classified classified as malware yet? Or is that next season's new must-have?

I'm very grateful I could install https://lineageos.org/ and de-google my Pixel. LineageOS and f-droid.org ftw!

All good thoughts!

Solar doesn't HAVE to be expensive. If you don't mind it being offgrid and DC it is absurdly cheap. I have run a big DC camping freezer off three solar panels and a solar regulator. Without expensive batteries it doesn't run at night - but that's when its cold outside anyway and you're not opening it either.

I believe you.

I'm thinking whatever we decide to do about undesired content, we should create a database of examples (and counterexamples) for testing filters and training models.

Has anyone started such a thing? I know Amethyst has a report feature, are the reports accessible anywhere?

The only Customary American Unit that makes any sense is the Mil, and even then you used the wrong base :-p

A (fluid!) ounce is 1/4th of a gill, and 1/128th of a gallon? And a grain is 2/875th of a (solid!) ounce?

Then they do what Japan already did - require all pension funds hold 40% of net holdings in Treasuries.

Will anyone tell me they wouldn't?
