The court cases stuff which is where you also called me a sweet summer child. And yeah the whole thread we were kinda talking crops purposes so oh well.

Don’t condescend to me. I understand the link between government and capital and am not an american.
What are you even proposing anyways? I am against government oppression and copyright law in general. All private property is theft from the commons. But in the meantime I will use a VPN because I trust Mullvad in Sweden more than I trust my own ISPs.
If I was committing crimes that were more serious then I would not use a VPN I would use a more robust security model.
My ISP is not powerless without government. They have massive power, they control 1/3rd of all cellular and internet communications. And like I said also control large amounts of satellite TV and cable broadcasting.
Well there are only three isps here and yes I understand what you are saying but. It never gets as far as government force it doesn’t have too. The ISP will drop me.
Also the ISP is the media company lots of the time, and its only a crime that will go to court and win if I made money distributing copyrighted material.
I don’t want my ISP to know much about what I’m doing either. They aren’t trustworthy, they often get caught illegally shaping traffic and such too.
I use a VPN to stop work camps I stay at from knowing what porn I watch, to stop media companies from sending me copyright infringement notifications, and to stop public wifis from having as much info on me.
Its all about threat model. If you’re concerned with government actors then you need to be more secure than just a VPN.
My countries intelligence agency is not working with media companies like that. The cops and courts would eventually enforce some order against me if it ever went to court but more likely is my ISP just ditches me as a customer if I get too many strikes.
Well spirituality will never go away but we can still try to shape our society in such a way that keeps institutions like the church from gaining massive power.
I think a university could do it. But I see what you mean now.
Basically yes. Theres no regulatory issue really. Theres just that companies refuse to loosen their steangehold on “intellectual property”. Like that’s the issue with basically all tech “innovations” they make things faster and more efficient for people with different goals than us. The Luddites weren’t necessarily wrong to smash those machines.
I’d still prefer to keep any tech mods as peripheral as possible. Don’t need my FOSS brainjack getting hacked because I missed a security update still. And if it does get hacked I want it to be quick outpatient to haul out and replace not brain surgery
If I had no other eyeballs probably. I would still hesitate if the hardware wasn’t open ( I don’t want an eye that they stop updating after 1 year or that gets ads when I switch insurance providers)
Heh here’s one for people. In my province at least the best way to get cheap 24/7 fuel in every corner even the podunkest no stoplights villages is to get a free membership with the local fuel co-op (UFA here)
I regularly save 2-10 cents a litre and have 24/7 access and even shitters and showers in most locations all for no extra money or work on my end other than the initial sign up.
Ah pump jacks are satisfying to watch too. And I mean derricks are temporary. But I’ve always liked windmills.
I’m good on things tied into the brain. Now things tied near the brain like sub vocalisation or little eye twitches or even somehow passive brain wave scans or something maybe. But actual hardware tied into my brain I’m gonna take a pass on.
Say I rent a server in Canada and let all my friends connect to it. Then they use that server to watch porn. How would the Montana Jack-Off Police ever know that people from Montana are watching porn? All they would see is that a bunch of people from Montana are remotely connected to Canada. Maybe that’s where my office is or were all just doing a remote LAN party.
VPN can’t really be made illegal its required for business to function.
And you’d get the ISPs to ban pornhubs IPs not the other way around.
Pornhub is banning these states as protest to get attention.
Its dumb as shit of course since pornhub for all its faults is like the least shady porn site so it’ll just push people who aren’t tech savvy to shadier sites with more non consensual and stolen content and shitty popups

Eh, we have ice roads across lakes in the winter time for heavy hauling and everyone drives their vehicles out to go ice fishing and shit. I’d be more concerned that buddy just didn’t known where the runway was lol.
OK, I think i see what you’re getting at.
Sure, but what chemicals do we have that are safer? Pretty much all of our over the counter drugs will fuck you up long term if taken regularly, and lots of them are acutely dangerous.
Ok, good to know. I also try to make sure people understand weed is addictive and has withdrawal symptoms and all that. You were the one who brought weed up originally though. And there is still no doubt that cocaine and alcohol are more dangerous than weed.
I mean smoking anything will cause cancer but there’s no reason to think weed taken orally isn’t one of the most safe chemicals we have.
So apparently they changed the law in Canada in 2012 and now for noncommercial sharing you could be held liable for up to 5000$ for all works not per work. Commercial is per work. So I doubt anyone has been got for non-commerical. But I do know they come done hard on commercial sharing.
