Comment on: Fleek makes it easy to build websites and apps on the new open web: permissionless, trustless, censorship resistant, and free of centralized gatekeepers.
Is Ruqqus about to be, as the kids would say, on Fleek?

Comment on: Would you pay to use an ad-free search engine that doesn't collect your data?
It's a fine idea but how can we be sure they're not double-dipping?

Comment on: I am fully convinced now that computing is just modern magic.
The machinations of the Machine-God are miraculous, indeed. Praise the Omnissiah!

Comment on: Intel reiterates chip supply shortages could last several years
Seriously. Computers are so much more powerful but the software runs worse than Windows Vista. It's bullshit how bad code has gotten.

Comment on: Rabbit on Twitter: "The fact that NordVPN is using DMCA takedowns against Twitter accounts that criticize their security is significant evidence that you should avoid NordVPN."
They can sniff traffic from any particular node and pull data that way, Wikileaks did it to grab government communications to start themselves up.

Because it's a network that governments and hackers have invested time and resources into infiltrating. The FBI and CIA admitted long ago that they can track people over Tor.

Tor is just as vulnerable as anything else.

Comment on: Elon Musk and Cathie Wood disagree on bitcoin’s climate impact
That's the same argument as "social media can censor whomever they want, they're 'private companies'" (they don't make sarcastic quotes big enough for just how not-private Big Tech is.) What you're arguing for an aristocracy where supposedly "private citizens" can do whatever they want using whatever means at their disposal no matter the damage caused because they're "private citizens" AND it's a total abandonment of any concept of a fair and balanced justice system just because parts of the government are corrupt. In short: black-pilled cuck gtfo

Comment on: Elon Musk and Cathie Wood disagree on bitcoin’s climate impact
>Anyway, no he shouldn’t. Less government and bureaucrat class in cryptocurrency, the better I don't agree, this is definitely a case where a government by the people, of the people, for the people should step in to stop the wealthy from using their means to abuse people (which Musk is most certainly doing.)

Comment on: Humanity wastes about 500 years per day on CAPTCHAs
Captcha doesn't even stop bots, it's just for training big tech AI

Musk is openly engaging in currency manipulation for his own benefit and should be prosecuted

Comment on: Microsoft to buy Discord for about $10 Billion
Microsoft is most likely just creating competition to help Discord drive up it's price without making a serious offer (and thereby driving up the value of tech overall. Microsoft doesn't want to moderate a damn thing, that's why they basically dropped Skype like a hot potato.)

Comment on: Boycott Intel products for setting up a factory on Palestinian stolen lands!
We definitely need to never buy products made on land stolen by Palestinians (I assume this what you mean given how you worded your title)

Comment on: Coalition Of Internet Companies Who Are Decidedly Not 'Big Tech' Raise Their Voices About The Importance Of Section 230
Looks like they've finally awakened to the grim reality of their situation, a pity it appears to come too late. They thought themselves safe among the feet of the giants but are going to be crushed as the giant's make their move.

Comment on: Intel Core i9-11900K, Core i9-11900, Core i7-11700 Rocket Lake 8 Core CPUs Spotted
God I hate these naming schemes. I can't buy parts anymore because I need the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to understand what the names even mean and which parts to get. Screw the disgusting mess the desktop world has become.

>guarantees, guarantees, access to information, and guarantees How about getting the fucking parts themselves? That's the real problem, the true root of why you can't get your shit fixed, you can't get the parts you need. Where's the access to *those*?

Comment on: Nokia secures $14.1m NASA funding to roll out 4G on the Moon
Why the fuck did they give the contract to a *foreign* company? Is there no American corporation capable of installing cell towers on the Moon?

Comment on: IBM Achieves Highest Quantum Volume to Date, Getting One Step Closer to Quantum Advantage
IBM? Nah, you mean China just got one step closer. There's no such thing as an American tech company, they all give everything to Glorious Middle Kingdom (by the way if you don't know: "Middle Kingdom" means "the middle of everything", as in "the center of the universe")
