Absolutely. And soliciting Epstein for sex with minors. Let’s not forget about that. He was begging to get on the island and get some underage tail. It was pretty pathetic.
He should be held liable, but he won’t be. Not by people who do the same thing.
I’m not a lawyer, but I’ve read (on sites like Ars Technica that cover technology) about dark web sites trading CSAM being shut down. By the FBI in America, by Interpol in the EU… I don’t know what legal grounds they use to do it.
You don’t think CSAM should be illegal? Or you genuinely don’t understand why it is, or what law it breaks?
I think if any other (smaller) site were continually posting CSAM without moderation, it would be banned. What’s different about X? The fact that Elon Musk runs it and he’s in with a powerful dictator?
At some point you have to admit the CSAM is not the problem, it’s the person running it, whether they have the power to stop you/fight back or not.
Mac guy… I’ll say desktop environments. It’s an advantage over both macOS and Windows. The ability to choose your desktop environment. I prefer GNOME.
Sideloading implies you have to jailbreak, like an iPhone. I could sideload apps on my iPhone if I really wanted to, via sidestore. I just don’t have any use for that (and the better options are paid).
With Android, Linux, macOS, or Windows, it’s just installing. I use Macs, virtually no Mac users care about the Mac App Store. It’s trash. We don’t like it, we don’t use it. It’s not on my Dock. It’s in the Apple Menu and can’t be removed from there. So I ignore it. Once in a while I look, see it’s still trash, and ⌘+Q that shit. If apps are signed by Apple, installing is as easy as (install wizards) or easier than (drag app icon on Applications shortcut) Windows. Of course ‘brew install’ via the terminal is even better since it bypasses Apple’s gatekeeper service (or can be made to, I forget). Windows it’s a bit less static (no gatekeeper) but more spyware/malware threats. And then there’s Linux. With Android, it’s more like macOS where you gotta deal with a gatekeeper, but it’s easy enough to deal with… for now. (To be clear, easier than macOS outside of ‘brew’, but not as easy as Windows/Linux.)
My Mac and I would like to see it try. Malware? It’s a Mac. (Mac malware exists, but this is probably/likely made for Windows.) Actual Windows? Not in this Christian server M2 Pro.
It is absolutely possible to identify users who post a lot on a public forum with a real name (e.g. Facebook or the like) as well as Reddit. So say you have some politician who claims to have X, Y, Z values and a Reddit user who has A, B, and C values that are antonymous to X, Y, and Z. By comparing common phrases, as well as by charting when the two seemingly separate users are online, you could say with reasonable certainty that the two people are one and the same, especially if you prompt them carefully to say the kinds of things they would say about neutral topics on both accounts. It would be hard to get 100% certainty, but you’d be close enough to imply it’s them.
AIs (LLMs) just make it faster.
Don’t post about controversial politics if you also post under your real name. It’s not a matter of “mask yourself better.” There will always be tells.
The community probably didn’t have any apps, solid or otherwise, to vouch for because medication tracking is built into iOS.
If you trust the privacy policy third-party paid apps offer, you should trust the one from Apple at least as much. Information is stored securely on the phone and never leaves it (except when it’s shared with the Apple Watch, or with providers you choose — note that only like a dozen or so providers actually support this, so I’m not sure what the criteria is since you’d figure most doctors would love to have that data).
An entry level laptop pays for itself if you use it to get textbooks for free after a certain amount of time. The question is can you do it legally? Probably not. So where is the cost savings supposed to be?
Reddit also hates people who criticize child predators.
I question calling something Nordic if it’s based in Panama and headquartered in Lithuania. I get it, it’s just branding, like how Texas Pete isn’t made in Texas (at least it’s not made in New York City, I suppose) but maybe call it something else?
IIRC Proton is Nordic, but I don’t know if that makes their VPN better or worse. They do have a free ordering and I use it when I’m on public WiFi because I can, but otherwise can’t vouch for it.
