It sucks but unfortunately the average western gay rights NGO in Africa is part of that apparatus. No matter how well-intentioned its founders/staffers are, despite all their hypothetical best intentions, they'll likely be operating entirely atop Western-HQ'd IT systems and their work in the region will functionally serve as a source of blackmail against locals and become in practice a vehicle to create pretexts for ISIS and destabilization that NATO will arm and finance in the area.
I think Illstealya isn't totally a puppet, obviously beholden to the much larger anglo + NATO economies but compared to a South Korea or South Vietnam they've got orders more latitude. Mostly due to intrinsic racism and persistent feelings in the anglosphere.
Those issues are pretty funny though, like even the gay Aussie I knew long enough had a story about fuckin with and subsequently "getting chased by" a "buncha
Doesn't sound unsalvageable but really consider if it's worth it! I had a partner end things and got the time to do so. They seemingly had another change of heart a little >1 year later and reached out to me, while I was still missing her I also could never trust her or anyone again who leaves instead of working it out and said as such. Time did eventually heal that wound, as much as it sucks right now.
It's bad, I'd say skip the firms operating it for profit or just have profiles up assuming it won't work or only by chance. They are not trying to pair people up and lose them. These things can function, it's been done, but there are some obvious conflicts of interest. OKcupid though owned by Match has been mostly neglected and at least allows anyone to message anyone, and have it show up and you can just respond and exchange phone numbers. If you're already in the zuckbook DB, and the option is available, might as well use their "Dating" feature. They have no significant incentive to fuck with people, there's no subscriptions or anything they try to sell.
The "tungsten micro-cube shrapnel" is evergreen for whatever reason, first time I heard it mentioned was probably >15 years ago. I've always assumed some stuff is reported ahead of actual testing for various reasons (gauging public reaction? Spying on how information disseminated?) and some is just getting iterated on, inherently has poor results, or just happens to be the latest prototypes on hand when they resume mass physical violence.
Yeah it is not the end of the world, not much is. Humans didn't even have endoscopy until the past couple hundred years. We'll just always hope that the human labor saved by computerization was worth offloading, bugs aside if all goes well it should be more standard and there won't be anything missed/delayed as a result. Outcomes materially affecting individuals are most sympathetic but there can be lost innovations from having fewer people exposed to inner working of a practice and potentially doing something no computer or human has before. Maybe endoscopy was worth it, I'm not an expert.
Luckily the text is itself machine generated. The title was probably the prompt. That "It's not about x but y" convention is a dead ringer for them usually.
I just call them what they do. Text generator. Image denoiser. Having used every pre-LLM version of accelerated statistical analysis out there (anything meant to find patterns in data), it's always been machine learning outputs. AI was only ever a term I heard in video gaming, which still seems more appropriate.
Home -> Tor -> VPN/Proxy -> Tor -> VPN/Proxy -> Tor -> Web
If they start restricting VPN technologies, look into the tlsfragment/V2Ray/shadowsocks proxy software out there for the first hop.
Any VPN/Proxy is paid for with Monero via Tor. The network traffic is encrypted to one of the proxy servers with symmetric keys, installed by writing terabytes of data to them via SSH and then uploading a script which pulls the key from some random bytes throughout those terabytes. NSA isn't logging every byte out of terabytes, just start/end & intermittent packets.
I've never found a link to it again but I use something known to me as ts (tombstone, I think?) and it is a virtual driver which I add on the self-hosted proxies/VPNs that effectively forces everything to the pagefile, which is encrypted on a ramdisk volume. They have to be unlocked via KVM though.
You can't just instruct ISPs to block all VPN-like traffic, making a total ban impossible to enforce
I wholeheartedly believe they can and likely will before humanity's brush with capitalism is over. They would just filter traffic from residential network endpoints more heavily than corporate/business users and start culling "illegitimate" business users. Then gradually close the loop on other methods of evading censorship. I do have a background contributing bug fixes to one of the big anti-censorship P2P networks out there.
I know one person who essentially did "grow out" of asthma, they always had an inhaler on them growing up but sometime in their mid-20s I noticed they were never using it and eventually I asked them and all attacks had stopped for >3 years by that point. I'm also aware of someone who died from an asthma attack in their 20s. It's plausible to me that it could effectively go away though - if someone was being exposed to a fairly consistent baseline amount of airborne pollutants for much of their life, and then for whatever reason was primarily breathing significantly cleaner air for long enough.
Everything respiratory is weird, sinuses especially. I personally cured my lifelong chronic sinusitis through an hour of hard intermittent humming 4x a week and playing 100Hz tones into my sinus cavities to manipulate the pressures. Somebody from Hanoi, VN that I met was unable to exist outside for decades of their life without masks due to breathing problems, lived in another part of the world and was able to return to Hanoi without issues for a decade+.
Any more specific you can PM me but in general you'll likely want to find hidden services' onion URLs by checking them across multiple link aggregators. You should already be using Tor Browser to visit them, since the URLs they publish won't work otherwise.
daunt dot link
tor dot taxi
dark dot fail (not really updated any more)
Those are operated by distinct entities, so if they publish the same dot onion URL for a given resource, it's probably a real one. You can save the PGP keys for the services' operators and if all goes well, you now have a method to verify their messages in the future. Learn how to use PGP, and if you buy something try to get the vendors' public key from multiple markets (same logic as getting URLs from multiple unrelated sources).
Here's the Darknet Market Buyers' Bible Onion URL:
If you're buying anything on Tor, probably easiest to use Feather Wallet. Send Monero (XMR) from wherever you can acquire it (Kraken/Haveno/etc) to your Feather Wallet, then to its ultimate destination.
Careful out there! Wifi network names (SSIDs) can be geolocated thanks to BeaconDB and other mass data collection. The more names from your device's list of nearby networks someone else knows, the more accurately they can potentially be. Some firms just sell the Wifi network lists from consumer devices, some including the IP address the device used to report that list at the time too which is crazy.
