He’s right.

May I suggest contacting your state’s legal aid service. They could certainly point you to the right resource if they don’t already have the answers.

Stop-and-searches are part of a deliberate strategy of “proactive policing” used by NSW Police. … The idea is to reduce crime by increasing police interaction with the community.

That’s fishing.

Advertisers can pay more to stay in the room than you will realistically pay to have them expelled.

AI filtering of Reddit isn’t the way. The way is leaving the platform. This is beginning to remind me of the ‘decrapify Windows’ YT videos that offer 20-step multi-application guides for getting a tolerable experience, instead of explaining how to install Mac/Linux. Time spent on a rotten foundation is wasted.

Reddit will program new mod bots to deal with organic responses the advertiser doesn’t consider constructive. That opens another revenue stream: charging advertisers for sub-specific bot tweaks.

The interesting question to me is, when does normie realize his sub has been co-opted to function as a focus group, and decide to look for a new forum.

We don’t want defed because it’s a sledgehammer ‘solution’ that immediately denies us agency and reeks of Reddit-tier pre-emptive sub banning.

The Nazi Bar idea is for the most part a boogeyman.

People should consider using a double-blind scheme with cloud-connected managers.

The service you’re setting a password for gets the actual credential, being two components <randomcomplexity><specialrule>, whereas the manager gets only <randomcomplexity>

Consider the example of U})wJAL0}RhIr')Rgs{,&^>I3/ versus U})wJAL0}RhIr')Rgs{,&^>I3/based

It protects against password database compromise at least. Keyloggers, MITM, etc. are another matter.

I suspect a lot of users with silly warnings in their profile like OP described haven’t bothered configuring their Upload/Download preferences. The tools for managing slot numbers and queue scheme (round robin v. FIFO) are all there.

‘Socially responsible’ is newspeak for corporate-controlled.

Thanks for posting, OP.

I hear you, but with traction comes the corporate interest.

So you’re telling me the model cannot consistently run at a profit, even through it relies on a massive unpaid labour force.

That’s not the look of a bigot, it’s the look of a man who’s fed up with low-rent posturing clickbait. The look of someone who got a Salon article entitled What your household’s toothpaste preferences say about White Fragility™ that he knows will be paygated or cookienoticed after two seconds’ scrolling.

Telemetry, advertising, etc. are ultimately web page elements that I can download or block. The paid offering might have a TOS that requires acceptance of such, but those terms do not bind me as a free, public visitor. I think Youtube is doing its best to have people buy its nonsense argument, as part of a wider campaign to shift the public’s understanding of web site versus web service. For what it’s worth, I don’t see them ever putting their money where their mouth is by pay-walling the whole site.

Alternative frontends don’t fall under piracy by any definition. Youtube’s servers are publicly accessible.

It strikes me as disguising a lack of real hobbies. What an utterly boring person you must be to spend surplus weekday time working for a second boss.

To acknowledge the truth of what you said but offer an explanation. It’s a fly in the ointment, if you like. No one wants to live in a low-trust society.

Public listing of grocery retail is a key cause of these problems. Listed food has the wrong owners, by virtue of being listed in the first place, and they’re pursuing their priorities at the direct expense of shoppers and suppliers.

If you suspect you’re being fucked on a favourite purchase category, direct your custom elsewhere (Aldi, Costco, family run) and review your consumption rate. If I see unreasonable price rises, I know I’m buying less as a rule.

Those traits are pitfalls of being a high trust society.
