Goals, honestly.

13 years ago this month, the Guardian broke the Snowden story...the biggest mass surveillance exposé in history. Today it calls your concern about ID-linked browsing, spyware in your photos and messages, and broken encryption, "fake outrage" while Starmer's government demands backdoors into your iCloud and calls for people to be arrested for tweets. The watchdog became the lapdog.

ALL data can be hacked, especially today, and from what's to come. Do not lie. Do not mislead.

Eva is actually way more profound when you know what depression is like and have been through understanding it and yourself, even with its execution issues and some questionable messaging. I got it when I was 14, but I *really* get it as an adult. Gurren Lagann is an unapologetic embodiment of positive masculinity on the other side of the coin that every young male should experience.

It's not propaganda, it's just basic computer science. Literally how is a disc needing to remain inserted to validate the copy running from the SSD as a technical necessity for the required bitrates of modern games, when it's all still done locally, in any way practically different for the end user's experience than running it directly off the disc where the disc needs to be inserted the whole time anyway, and comparable to a game key card that contains no game at all and only lets you download a digital copy from a remote server? You're quibbling over semantics and making it seem like something it just isn't. 1) PS5 discs have the games on them locally. You have access to the base game in full, minus any patches or content not on the disc, obviously, for a fresh install any time if you delete the game from your SSD to make room. You'll never need to connect to the internet or depend on a download from a server to access the content of that disc. 2) Optical storage isn't fast enough to stream assets properly anymore. The disc needing to stay in the console is copy protection since you've duplicated the data and they want to make sure it can't run independent of the paid copy on the disc. That's it. 3) Key cards don't contain the game, they contain a voucher for a download that needs to be pulled from a server, otherwise they're useless. 4) Since one contains the full base game accessible locally regardless of technical limitations requiring the data to be moved to faster storage before use, while the other contains no game data and requires you to retrieve it from an external source you might not be able to access, they aren't comparable, and it's disingenuous at best to equate them on a superficial similarity of not playing the game directly from the physical storage medium you bought to access the game. PS5 discs are objectively still true physical media. There's just an extra *fully local* step to access the data properly because it's literally just too much data for an optical drive to stream directly anymore. It just doesn't work as a matter of the technology.

This is something I would be incredibly tempted to do. 😭

So those ISOs I downloaded weren't even complete, that's cute. This is well worth it though, I actually highkey love this one after giving it a proper re-watch on my Toonami set. Such a hidden gem. I'd have bought the all-in-1 set too, but that bitch was $100 and I am but a man.

Look at mah baby. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Maria is precious and makes playing Rondo infinitely more fun. This captures her so well. Adorable. 🙏✨

As someone who's been an anime fan since 1997 and watched plenty of both; Anyone who says otherwise is a tourist trying not to look like one and only cares about clout/social approval, not anime. You can't rationally believe that even remotely close to a majority of dubs are bad.

No rational captialist would do that because the moment it's discovered, which would be faster than you bad-faith Edge-case Lord of Doom types so condescendingly choose to insinuate every time, his or her business is dead and (s)he's a known bad actor with, in the internet age, nowhere to hide and try scamming people again without it being even more likely (s)he'll be found out due to the association with their identity. The PR alone from making people drink piss thinking it's beer would make the floor collapse financially without a government with plenty of stolen money they're in bed with to cushion them. You kind of need to be an ethical business for long-term survival in a free market with no bullshit you can pull with an unaccountable mega-gun called The State you can fall back on and get away with it or slink off freely. Libertarianism remains not only correct, but unchallenged, despite the certainty of those claiming to not only have challenged, but defeated it while only attacking their own malformed conception of what libertarians actually believe and why. Typical statist midwit.

Regulators are always in bed with the big businesses they’re supposed to regulate. Local businesses are hurt most by regulation. Statists cannot comprehend

Good children's media is media that appeals to all ages. It allows the children to grow into the themes and stories. Rather than being unable to watch as an adult because it's brainrot, they can rewatch it and get MORE out of it. Growing a deeper appreciation of art as they age

Wolverine doesn't owe shit, taxes are illegitimate.

People who unironically think Kirito is a Gary Stu should consult this image, because none of this applies to him. Observably. You'd literally have to be delusional, stupid, or lying to say otherwise. No exceptions.

Government censorship always begins with "We're only censoring things that are immoral, profain, grossly offensive!", and the people that support it assume the government will always agree with them on what those things mean. The government will then begin to claim that anyone who disagrees with them IS immoral, profain, and grossly offensive.

SOMEONE VIBE CODED A VIDEO STREAM THAT IS SECRETLY 100% TEXT SO IT CANT BE BLOCKED it plays 360p video at 30fps, but theres no actual video on the page. every frame is just colored text characters being repainted on a canvas to the browser its not media at all, its javascript updating some text its called asciline, and here's the trick: > the server decodes the real video and streams it as binary packed text over websockets > the browser paints thousands of colored block characters fast enough to look like 360p > ad blockers and autoplay blockers cant catch it because theres no video element to catch > it streams in kilobytes since its just strings, so it runs on trash internet since the video is literally text, you can apply css glows to it, let people copy paste a moving frame, or feed it straight to a local llm however, an unblockable stream is also an unblockable ad as well

1/ Your daughter is 16. She reads about a protest happening downtown. Police brutality. Government overreach. She does not know what to believe. The news says one thing. Social media says another. She wants to investigate. She wants to find the truth herself. So she opens her phone. Tries to access independent journalist accounts. Citizen reporters who were actually there. Raw footage. Unfiltered perspective. Access denied. Reason: Age verification required. Content flagged as potentially harmful to minors. Online child safety laws prohibit access without parental consent and identity verification. Your daughter cannot search for truth. The system decides what she is allowed to know.
