Isn’t that still just a pick-up truck?

I’ve only ever seen these:

A van but with a flatbed.

That’s why you join private trackers.

My seedbox is easily downloading at 2 Gbit/s. I assume that’s an HDD hardware limit, it’s a shared 40 Gbit connection actually.

Damn, it’s almost like torrenting works exactly the same way.

Oh my god, I just realized there is e in the upper and π in the lower coordinate:

I have zero clue. Could not find anything confirming or denying it.

Calling someone nazi could be considered an insult if the person is indeed not a nazi, which will be determined by a court.

It necessarily requires the libelled person to file a criminal complaint. If you have not been personally insulted, you are wasting your time because you are ineligble to file such a complaint.

This does not apply to politicians, whose insulting can be prosecuted if it’s in particular interest to the public as well as members of groups prosecuted by the Nazis, if the insult is related to their prosecution. No particular public interest required in the latter case.

See: §194 (1) Stgb

That is to say: You are wasting your time. Have fun sending your name, address and contact information to the German police to be stored for a while. Anonymous criminal complaints are always ignored.

Check out the two Ns in the corner. Those are the only possibly valid ALANs. It works out in the vertical and horizontal for both Ns.

The US does not consider human rights to exist, of course abuse is legal there. Might as well cite Medieval Europe as an example for the legality of torture.

Besides, I was referring to step-parents and adult non biological children having sexual intercourse. In every case where that is abusive, it is rape which is illegal already.

It would be weird and fucked up, possibly abusive.

But if it’s abusive, it’s already illegal and no sexual act should be illegal just because I consider it weird.

Might even be unconstitutional to make sex between (adult) step-parents and their children illegal but I’m not sure.

Depends on the country.

Only PIV sex is illegal for related people over here.

Anything else (anal, oral etc.) is a-OK for related people because there is no risk of children being conceived.

Yeah, that’s again a little different. You have to fully trust WhatsApp that they are doing what they promise. You can’t really verify this yourself.

Besides, if the app is open source, backdoors are generally more difficult to implement. Especially for something like E2EE, where people look very closely at what the application does with keys. Same with age verification in my opinion. You’d need to pull off a lot of gymnastics to put in a backdoor, see the xz utils one which was only achieved through several obfuscated stages in a codebase rarely ever looked at by another human.

A minority of players does not seem to make any prompts. This results in a slow but continuous buildup of the queue - in order for it to go down, more players would need to prompt than enqueue.

Can you explain a little what you mean with:

So they simply scrape post decryption from the user’s device.

As far as I know, no social media company’s posts are E2EE. After all: It’s not possible to have both public posts and E2EE. “Direct messages” to other users can be E2EE but you’d have to trust the company with the encryption keys.

The only condition that requires Zero-Knowledge Protocols to function is that your device is not hijacked by hackers (and there are no deliberate backdoors and such). This can be achieved by having the app be open source with regular security audits. The social media company can do nothing to identify you, nor could the government (unless again, they collude and share secrets).

But yeah, social media can already identify most users because of surveillance capitalism. The goal however is to ensure identification is not in any way made easier via age verification.

You cannot turn a ZKP into being secretely not ZKP without significant effort though.

Take the following example protocol:

1. Social media app sends you a token to verify.
2. You append a private secrete string to the token and hash it with a known, collision resistant hash function.
3. You send the hash to the government’s server and request an “18+” signature. The signature should correspond to a public key.
4. You send the signature back to the social media app, including the secret you used.
5. The social media calculates the hash of its token + your secret and then checks whether the governmen’t signature is valid with that value.

The government will not know which social media site was used, the social media site will not discover anything about your identity beyond a binary “is above 18 years old” statement. This is because you control all communication.

To discover anything else, they would BOTH have to collude in some significant way. They can only do so in step 5, by having the social media app send the value you gave it to the government. Maybe there exists a protocol that you control that works against this threat as well, I’m not sure.

But if they collude in step 5 - what prevents the social media company from sending all information it has about you to the government already all the time, even without age verification? Like IP addresses, phone number, access time etc. If the government further controls all the ISP servers and log which traffic from where goes where, it could certainly identify you already.

True. I should’ve added: “Without significant foreign support”.

Like no shit, if neighboring countries provides weapons, training and even manpower then it’s hardly considered an uprising, is it? More like a proxy war.

That covers Vietnam, Cambodia and Syria. The latter was literally just a gigantic proxy war. Like look at this shit, this is not a popular uprising:

Don’t know enough about Iraq, but in Afghanistan the military did jack shit against the Taliban and in Myanmar the military was the one rebelling.

Every single uprising hinged on:

• Who is supported by the country’s own military?
• Who is supported by foreign nation’s militaries and to which extent?

None of them depended on the popular opinion of civilians.

East Germany 1953, Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, China 1989.

It does not cause any long-lasting unrest. Crushing protests with tanks is extremely effective and has always worked if the military was called upon and willing.

Full control of everything? It would take at most around 1000 soldiers on the ground to siege a modern a city - shut down water, electricity and close the highways - and you’ll regain control. People don’t like to live without food and water.

Plus no country cares what you do to your own population beyond strongly worded letters and maybe some targeted sanctions against like 3 entities.

They don’t need to kill the entire workforce. People generally don’t want to die, so you only need to kill a small fraction to terrorize the rest into submitting.

This has worked for pretty much every single uprising since WW2. Just send in the tanks. Only when the military refused were uprisings successful.

The military today is able to kill nearly the entire population within days. That’s pretty much it.

As long as the military is not on your side, you will lose badly. And as long as the soldiers don’t suffer, they will support the status quo because they have something to lose.
