Anna’s Archive does this. I think its a really good way to make it difficult to take them down.
Hopefully this hack starts some conversations on how they can ensure longevity for their project. Seems they’re being attacked on multiple fronts now.
I reminisce for the days when spyware was cute 😞
I have my Google TV in apps only mode. If Google can still see that I pirate literally everything I watch, and circumvent YouTube ads with it then, well, maybe it sends a message.
Don’t worry, we have plenty of venomous spiders as well!
It’s funny hearing people say this here in Canada. Like we have polar bears and moose and shit. A moose will fuck you up a lot worse than a big spider or whatever. I’m much more fearful of our wildlife.
My dad faked having brain cancer when I was 9 to cover up a drug problem. He sent me to live with my mom to party while I believed he was on the brink of death.
We have a strained relationship now.
Yeah, LG always had awesome concept phones, a bit of a shame they’re not doing phones anymore.
I know rollables are coming, just a question of how long until they end up in a consumer device.
With how my Galaxy Flip has held up, this thing will be unusable in 6 months. There’s no way it will lay flat for long with regular use.
I’m waiting for rollable screens to become a thing.
I’m pretty sure both the App Store and the Google Play Store both require social media apps to have a block feature. Will be interesting to see what happens if he goes through with this.
Ive provided one in another comment.
I don’t understand that interpretation. The original comment was:
Israel could have taken out entire hospital staffs with this “technique”. Hope they remain human and don’t.
To which macarthur_park replied:
Seems unlikely considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.
They do not think it’s likely that hospital staff, Hezbollah affiliated or not, could be in danger. I challenged that. I don’t think they were aware that Hezbollah had a civilian wing at all, and that many public sector workers are technically “Hezbollah-affiliated” due to the nature of the political situation there.
No one has suggested that in this comment chain.
Good, then we should all agree that this was a despicable attack on Israel’s part and this whole conversation is pointless.
They said “Seems unlikely [that pagers would be in the hands of doctors] considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.”
That article directly refutes that. It is heavily implied when you’re all saying “Hezbollah” you’re talking about militants. Again, it is unreasonable to suggest that workers, including doctors and nurses, that are part of the civilian arm of Hezbollah’s de facto government are fair targets in either morality or international law.
Hezbollah, the de facto government of large parts of Lebanon, ordered the pagers and widely distributed them. Many of them went to civilians for legitimate purposes. It’s unreasonable to suggest that these are fair targets because they were briefly in Hezbollah’s control at some point along the chain.
There isn’t one, because this is objectively not true.
My grandfather drew a comic based on this joke in the late 60s, thanks for reminding of it!
Anyone can also use any exploits then find so you have to make sure you’re keeping up updating your devices. And every port you forward is an intrusion point into your network should someone want to hack you.
This is the part that scares the shit out of me. I bought a domain with the intention of making a little web 1.0 website for fun and to learn, but I have no real idea what I’m doing and the security risk makes it a non-starter :(
YouTube let’s creators A/B test different thumbnails, but they can’t upload a bunch of them to feed to different demographics or automatically cycle them like Netflix does. I’m sure that’s coming though.
What an incredibly depressing position to be put in.
It might be the “objectively better” choice, but if I saw anyone enthusiastically pull that lever without a second thought I’d think they’re a psychopath. Like you’re still killing thousands upon thousands of people.
I’m not even saying don’t pull the lever, but it should eat at you.
If you’re afraid of visiting Russian websites, piracy is probably not for you.
