I have lots and lots and lots of dreams.. And lots of issues

Bill Burr comes close to George's savagery 😅 ( just my opinion )

No, because it was BS ... 😆

Imagine how weak your argument for God has to be if you're going around censoring books

well, you're becoming famous :) .. interesting articles you got there 😁

It's very promising, but I find it confusing

Not necessarily, it all depends on the software license, people don't usually care about who funds their software, ( even if they're funding it themselves with their data ), plus If we're talking about selling points, saying that you can control your online presence is a much successful sell than saying it's not VC funded, like I never used that argument when I try to convince my friends to hop on Mastodon

Edit: but I'm not saying it's not a valid argument, it's very valid

it is the MAIN selling point of the fediverse.

Debatable, I would say it's the ability to selfhost and not be under the mercy of "the platform" or the admin's subjective morals, you can also not federate and make the place your own

Oh, Are you the same Blender Dumbass 2.0 ?

And only if surveillance actually stops all the crime ( which it doesn't )

When mass surveillance works, you lose your rights, and when it doesn't work as intended ( which as the government says to protect you from terrorists ), it gets things wrong and it can be too damaging, like when Google flagged a man who sent his child's photos to a doctor, or when Facial recognition system gets the wrong person, or when a bank algorithm locks someone of their own account due to suspicious activity.. etc

So we're damned when it works and we're damned when it doesn't.

Edit: how can I do the math? Do you have any links..

Demographic questions help us better understand the Mozilla community. All questions are optional.

Exmuslim here, it's forbidden in Islam to spy on people ( invade their privacy ), but there is another rule ( which is not actually written, at least not in the main scriptures ), that basically flips everything around, lying, stealing, killing, invading someone else privacy.. etc everything becomes allowed, because it's a necessity... now you might be asking, how and when you know it's a necessity to do something that's officially forbidden by Allah ( in this case invading others privacy ) ?

the answer is.. it's subjective, you just make up your own mind, and justify it with : it's a necessity, may Allah forgive me 🥺👉👈

Of course, I'm being too optimistic, religion is there so people don't use their brains, in reality people ask imams ( our version of priests ) who have authority because "they know" these stuff, it's just makes life easier

push users to register VPNs with the state’s media regulator, ostensibly to enhance cybersecurity and fight terrorism.

Ahh, the terrorism excuse, ok.. define terrorism ?!

again, their own sharia laws are against them..lol.., Invading people's privacy is prohibited in Islam, so They're going out of their way, and against the word of their holy Prophet

“Using VPNs to access blocked or illegal content is against Islamic and social norms, therefore, their use is not acceptable under Islamic law. It falls under ‘abetting in sin,’ ” said the statement, quoting the council’s chairman, Raghib Naeemi.

man, don't you just love it when religious people try to save you from eternal hell?

This is going to be good
