I loved the end!
Spoiler
It was open.
Did you see how the "other guy" behind opens his smile with the knife?
To me, that detail, meant like yeah now every crazy person will be 'the' joker.
But I'd rather think he just survived. I think it's the main interpretation.

Not boring, just somewhat lengthy. To be fair, I barely noticed it's length, until a moment ...when it seems to be the end, but then well, no, that wasn't the end. Movie continues :P

On this matter, I'm an ignorant myself too. Perhaps searxing with the model name and brand there's a post somewhere that shares some insight. Hardware support on linux is great, until it isn't ;/

I wonder if it's somewhat related. But I started to see posts from blocked communities in both Home and All feeds. This seemed to me like a bug on Voyager client and I reported it there. I switched to Jerboa now, seems to work.
But I still wonder, maybe it's specific to client but also related to this, depends on how interaction with server is programmed...

We, humans, have a whole lot of resilience and solidarity.
I rather have some hope, even as adversity hits us in the face. It's a decision. Not. to. fall. in. despair. Else, you risk playing into the counterproductive game that doesn't move the needle at all.
My own solidarity may not save the world by its own. But it can help my neighbors survive one more day, week, or month. That's a step. Better than nothing. I value that.

Objection! Hehe... No, wait. Really, I see a problem...
If registration are closed, mods would be exclusively from outside. And, since reports are not federated, this communities would be prone to difficulties for moderation. Unless reports are correctly federated, I don't think this is a good idea. And, even if you were to open registrations only for mods, we would have only moved the inconvenience to this (who wants to have so many accounts, really?)
There's also the problem with centralization of domain names under you. I don't know you, and perhaps you're well intended.. So, it's fine for the most part, let's just assume that's okay. Now, what happens if you had an accident or decided to go live in a farm? Without domain name renewals, etc. all communities would be in trouble. There's centralization in the shape of a single point of failure.
I can't see this happening even if the domain names are cool.
And, leaving disadvantages aside. What's the point on this? Can you name any advantage?? I agree that it would be more ordered and I like that. But it's quite subjective, and hardly anything huge to really break the inertia or status quo of things as they're now...
Thanks for the intentions. Let's focus on some new ideas, they'll come...

Human genome would be a handful of gigabytes, depending the file format, compression and so on... But it can hardly fill 1 of those 360 TiB.

I don't know this group but I am on a telegram group that shares movies produced in my country of origin. It's quite niche, I never saw any tracker that does the same. I doubt it for usenet but never looked into it. Anyway, my point is that some layman uploaders use whatever is at hand and not necessarily have much preparation or technically involved solutions...

In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, biased or poor quality ("garbage") information or input produces a result or output of similar ("garbage") quality. The adage points to the need to improve data quality in, for example, programming.
There was some research article applying this 70s computer science concept to LLMs. It was published in Nature and hit major news outlets. Basically they further trained GPT on its output for a couple generations, until the model degraded terribly. Sounded obvious to me, but seeing it happen on the www is painful nonetheless...

Check for any customizations in /etc/NetworkManager
Alternatively, reinstall surfshark, enable killswitch, connect and disable killswitch before disconnection... When you disconnect it should be fine..
The killswitch is most surely a combination of changes on networkmanager dispatcher script, iptables rules and dns setting (/etc/resolv.conf)

Exactly my feeling when everyone was jumping into touch screens.
(I was able to type SMS in my pocket, using one hand, while walking. Sure, it took a 100 meters a sentence but it worked.)
Anyway, a smartphone comes with many other differences, mostly advantages. This is another leap of quality for gaming, watching movies, filling government forms on old websites, etc.

cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/22527376 > > Rockstar Games' servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.

[Fig. 1](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adq1814#F1) gives an example of a conversation where the user goes from 100% belief down to 40% after getting their questions explained by the AI. Looking at the conclusions, the impact is not so big for all the interactions. Anyway, this is a great tool. Sure, when people are doomscrolling 24/7 they’re not fact-checking. So, the intervention might not be there. Yet, I choose to remain optimistic. More recent generations might get easier access and be better than our current trend :)

You probably haven't heard of it before, but you may have come across it unknowingly in passing, hundreds of times, if you watch European football, aka soccer in US parlance. The operation enjoys multimillion-dollar partnerships with some of the world's biggest clubs, like Manchester United and Bayern Munich. > > Less visible to the public are Yabo's modern day slaves, forced to staff the debt-fueled pyramid scheme underpinning its gambling empire. > > [...] > > "Often, as a culture and as an industry, we separate technical stories from real life," Dr. Renée Burton, head of threat intelligence at Infoblox, says. "But these are monumental human crimes that are occurring [in] human trafficking and money laundering. It's the most interesting research I've ever been involved with." > > [...] > > On paper, Yabo Sports shut down in 2022 amid media scrutiny. But it fact it actually passed on through other brands like Kaiyun Sports. Kaiyun's logo has featured prominently on the sleeves of Aston Villa and Crystal Palace kits, or uniforms, in recent seasons, and the front of Nottingham Forest's (all England). Kaiyun reportedly also has a partnership in place with the world's biggest club, Real Madrid. > > [...] > > As Burton tells it, "Essentially, they use a ton of shell companies in multiple places around the world. And then they'll come up through these white label providers in the UK, like TGP Europe, which was linked by journalists to [gambling organization] Suncity, which has been accused by the Chinese government of money laundering. So it obfuscates those [groups] which are already obfuscated. It's just this ridiculous chain of false identities." > > [...] > > "So it draws people [into the sites]," Burton explains, "and they're browsing around a little bit. You've got your Manchester United logo. Then it starts popping up: these lures for you to come gamble." The sites include images of scantily dressed women and live chats with purported customer service agents. If a user stays idle for a period of time, the site might offer financial incentives, like a sliding scale of up to $1,500 free for any user who deposits up to $70,000 in a week. > > "It draws you in further, and eventually you're losing. Now you're in debt, and you move into servitude. It's essentially a pyramid scheme: you have to go recruit people to gamble, then you get a portion of those people's losses to go against your debt," she says. > > [...] > > A 2023 report from the Asian Racing Federation (ARF) Council on Anti-Illegal Betting and Related Financial Crime described how Yabo betting sites are also staffed by physically imprisoned individuals: > > **The walled-off complexes have apartments, offices, supermarkets and other facilities, and are guarded by armed security whose job is to keep people in, according to reports in Chinese state media and elsewhere.** > > [. . .] > > **According to victim testimony, staff must work 12 hours a day, six days a week and cannot leave without a ransom. Staff are sold between operators, with ransoms increasing on each occasion. Videos and photographs online in 2021 showed people being physically threatened, beaten with sticks, and struck with electric batons.** > > [Edit: Deleted tautology in the title.]
