OK, here's another example of a discussion where you ask me genuine questions, and I want to be courteous to you, and then at some point in the conversation, like with this last question, I start to realise that (at least) this part of the discussion should be public, so that other people can benefit from it. When there are misunderstandings, or viewpoints not understood, it is tiresome for me to spend a lot of time and energy explaining things privately to one person, when the SAME amount of time and energy could be spent explaining it to that one person, and because it's public then many people might benefit. This is the point where I get frustrated, since you failed to realise that your questions should have been public - that this part of the conversation should have been public. (There is another benefit to me with public conversations - sometimes other people have different views to me, or share different considerations, making the conversation even MORE useful to the person asking the question.)

OR/WA Election System Flawed: Votes Changed by Black Hatters
by Se7en 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

THE OREGON AND WASHINGTON ONLINE REGISTRATION SYSTEM HAS A MAJOR FLAW THAT ALLOWS ANYONE TO FIND THE PERSONAL ADDRESS OF ALL REGISTERED VOTERS, ALLOWS ONE TO CANCEL VOTES, AND ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS TO ISSUE BALLOTS IN OTHER'S NAMES! This is not a joke people. Last night, black hatters successfully used the system to find the personal addresses of Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates[1]. The Black hatters then discovered a system of online voting designed for senior citizens and disableds to vote. This system was then used to cancel the ballot issued by Mayor Ted Wheeler (D, Portland) to President Donald Trump as proof of the flaws. Voter registrations were then changed for numerous individuals to change their mailing address to gibberish.[2] This is NOT A BUG, this is a DESIGN CHOICE for convenience. Furthermore, it was also brought to attention that people can email a vote in. The way the system works is that the most-recent ballot is the only valid one, and all previous ballots were canceled. This group of blackhats, posting to the 4chan board /pol/, were later suppressed and silenced. I expected this to be front-page news by morning. I see nothing of it. Shortly after this was discovered, the voting system was briefly down but restored Sunday morning. No changes were made. All one needs to do is know the Legal Name, and the birth date of the individual to find their private information. No other qualifiers are necessary. The website itself for voter registration[3] does not have a TLS Certificate, meaning the connection is insecure and any information submitted to it is vulnerable to a simple MITM attack. This is the /least/ of the problems at hand. I do not know when this system was implemented, but I believe it may have been as far-back as 2008. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS across the entire country. I request that anyone who reads this email forward it to at least 10 more individuals to spread the word.

public blackmale in plain sight - #PrayForFiddy - Chelsea Handler (white) explains to 50 Cent that he's Black - USA 2020 Elections: Thread
by Zenaan Harkness 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

#PrayForFiddy Events: On 19 October 2020, 50 Cent aka Fiddy, spat the dummy at Joe Biden's 62% tax rate plan for wealthy Americans, which has NO exemption for African American rappers named "Fiddy": 👀WHAT THE F*CK! (VOTE ForTRUMP) IM OUT, 🏃<200d>♂️💨F*CK NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway. 🤷🏽<200d>♂️I don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people 62% are you out of ya fucking mind. 😤 pic.twitter.com/uZu02k2Dlz — 50cent (@50cent) October 19, 2020 On 24 October 2020, tasked with handling Fiddy and the certain fallout of some of his millions of fans (many/most black) switching their vote from Biden to Trump, 45 year old Chelsea Handler, an ex girlfriend of Fiddy's, absolutely emasculated him, in a very public way: On Friday’s #FallonTonight, @50cent’s ex-girlfriend, @ChelseaHandler, scolded him: “I had to remind him that he was a black person, so he can’t vote for Donald Trump.” If he denounces Trump, “I might be willing to go for another spin, if you know what I’m talking about” pic.twitter.com/bILbTsK7R0 — Brent Baker (@BrentHBaker) October 24, 2020 There is no self-respecting man in this world that would accept such a public humiliation, on principle, except that he is compromised. Just for piece of 45yo skankasaurus rect? Please! So, a poll for the blackmailluminati: A) Fiddy's Handler, the 45yo skankasaurus rect otherwise known as Chelsea Handler, really is the sweetest pussy in this world and she knows it, and she also knows that Fiddy is willing to be utterly and publicly humiliated for the priviledge to "go for another spin". B) Chelsea "Skankasaurus Rect" Handler knows something that she and Fiddy know, and the rest of us don't, and her words to fiddy "go for another spin, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT" have a double meaning: for the privilege of being made a rap king, Fiddy's handler may have had the role to offer some pussy so sweet that it was statutorily illegal - say 16 years old and found in an uptown NewYork mansion under cameras at 9 East 71st Street under a painting of Bill Clinton in a blue satin dress <ahem>. C) Don't be ridiculous, Fiddy's not that disgusting, he'd never touch anything over 14 unless it has the name Natalie Biden. What -is- amazing is how brazen this handler is in handling Fiddy so publicly, so brutally and in such a racist way ("I had to remind him he's black"). I guess when you are used to having things your way, and the system of blackmail within which you have lived for decades continues to serve you well, that you just don't imagine things could change... Let's #PrayForFiddy - one wonders what would happen if he instead chose to put his handler in her place, equally publicly and reclaimed his manhood rather than sulk in humiliation, a coward - if he has the dirt on others, perhaps an immunity deal could be in the cards, if he does not, and remains cowering, this will be the last we hear of it. If he reclaims his manhood, and Chelsea drops the dirt on Fiddy, then surely she can be done for blackmail? If someone else ... same? Evil only thrives in darkness.

Daniel Rothschild on the politicisation of everything: "the politicization of everything.. is unhealthy to our civic fabric" - [ENJOY] [PEACE]
by Zenaan Harkness 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

A very grounded, and very timely public letter on the hyper partisanship that one or two of us have noticed is doing the rounds these days: One Client Responds To "Vain, Narcissistic" CEO Of Expensify After Unsolicited Political Email https://www.zerohedge.com/political/one-client-responds-vain-narcissistic-c… Over the weekend we wrote about the CEO of San Francisco-based tech company Expensify - one of the world's largest providers of expense account software - and his decision to email the company's 10 million clients pleading with them to vote for Vice President Joe Biden. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/san-francisco-tech-ceo-emails-10-millio… ... Hi David, I'm writing about the unsolicited email that you sent last night to many of my colleagues - and, I gather, millions more users around the globe. Let me start by saying that I have no objection to you having strong feelings about politics. Those strong feelings are shared by many at the moment among partisans of all stripes. Supporters of President Trump and Vice President shared by many at the moment among partisans of all stripes. Supporters of President Trump and Vice President Biden both cast this election in apocalyptic terms, the result no doubt of strongly held feelings. My feelings on politics aren't as strong as yours. But I do have strong feelings about another matter: trust. For a variety of reasons, America is becoming a low-trust society. Conspiracy theories abound, relationships are breaking down on partisan lines, and the institutions that are critical to a free and open society are being undermined in many cases by their own actions that destroy trust. Your email contributes to this breakdown in social trust. David, we selected Expensify as a vendor based on trust - after all, you have financial information for us organizationally as well as the personal information of hundreds of my colleagues. You also have our email addresses. We trusted you with our private information. You have violated that trust. I also have strong feelings about another matter of public interest: the politicization of everything. A healthy society cannot exist if its political tribalism invades every aspect of commercial, civic, and community life. Team Red and Team Blue have gone from being who we vote for to, in many cases, lifestyle determinants. That is unhealthy to our civic fabric. And again, your email has exacerbated this. Until last night, I saw Expensify as a pioneering company that made my life a lot easier. Now, I see Expensify as a Team Blue company. To be clear, I'm not writing this as a member of Team Red. I'm not on that team. I'm not on any team. Millions of Americans are in the same boat. Frankly, we're sick and tired of partisans on both sides telling us that we need to ally ourselves with one team or another. And if I may be more blunt, we're especially tired of being told this by people who have built an app or look good on camera. You have no special insights on public policy or politics, and the fact you think we need to have your opinions placed in our inboxes is vain and narcissistic. David, last night you chose to violate the trust your company has built up and politicize your company. That is, I suppose, your right. But this country cannot endure without trust and apolitical spaces. And fixing these underlying issues is a far deeper and more important issue than the next election. Sincerely, Daniel Rothschild Well said Daniel! However, we suspect all David can think of are the stack of virtue-signaling points he achieved in the new social-credit-scoring system after The Great Reset.

Re: Why Equality Of Outcome Can Never, Ever Work -- Re: sexism - feminism - equality - empowerment - penis man - vaginas - bobs and vagene

> How does this subject land for you? What feelings are you trying to > get across with it? It lands as true, in many ways - in fact in all ways that I am able to discern, and this is in where I've read the whole thing, and listened to the Jordan Peterson video. And so I have to recommend Jordan Peterson again - some of JP's words have not entirely "gelled" for me, but the majority of what he says resonates really well for me, and to me is "spot on". So I can't recommend him enough... I'm actually not trying to get any feelings across - I'm hoping that some concepts get across to people, which they may not have thought about before. Without understand the problems and the causes of our problems, what hope have we to fix those problems? So fundamentally I am attempting to assist the conversation generally, for everybody. And I think this is one of the most powerful things we can do. > I expect the content to be pushing divisive politics. No - at least not from my perspective, not at all. It's about concepts, understanding, perceiving that which we have not seen before - and similarly, and perhaps more importantly, finding words and ways to speak these things which we are not taught about, and are otherwise not able to speak about. This is not at all about flinging mud, it's about having a conversation we desperately need to have. We have to start somewhere. > Outcome and opportunities really look basically the same to me; Well, that's not the case. Outcome is the result. Opportunity is the environment, the "rules", a level playing field - conceptually very different to outcome. > If you look at the reasons outcomes change, > undiscussed differences in opportunities show up. Here's where people often get all dichomatic - the false assertion that "it must be all the environment and luck". It's not, but it's also NOT not those things: It's both, all three, all four etc: - latent capacity/ abillity, genetics, shape of your vocal chords, length of your legs etc - luck - opportunity - environment of nurture, training, etc - internal characteristics like will, persistence, emotional temperament and more ... and as we progress through life, one or another of these facets of an individual and his/her environment, can impact, benefit or restrict, some other aspect(s). We are to at least some degree, authors of our own lives. AND we are to a degree a product of our environment. AND we are blessed, or challenged by our latent capacities. Once again, I must thank Cari for reminding us (for values of "us" corresponding to "me") of being conscious when we use dichotomies. > On Mon, Oct 26, 2020 at 1:02 AM Zenaan Harkness <zen(a)freedbms.net> wrote: > > > > A good summary for anyone who might've missed the memo on equality of outcome (equity) vs equality of opportunity: > > > > > > Why Equality Of Outcome Can Never, Ever Work > > Troy Smith via AmericanThinker.com > > https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/10/why_equality_of_outcome_can_ne… > > https://www.zerohedge.com/political/why-equality-outcome-can-never-ever-work > > > > In the early 20th century, in support of equality of outcome, Soviet > > communist dictator Vladimir Lenin coined the phrase, "Who, Whom."

selfish yt-dl dmca drama
by Karl 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Maybe I'm just not cut out for politics. My automated-friendly-hug bots always get labeled 'spam' or 'terrorist propaganda' before I make them. They're so important! A few weeks ago, my friend, who often has fbi agents follow him (that's where people get the federal business card bouquets, they ask the surveillance workers who are always nearby), shared a movie from youtube, to an anonymous e-mail list of people who may be in similar situations. Unfortunately, right after his share, the movie was censored on youtube to everyone in our country. Naturally (actually this is pretty rare for me nowadays), I downloaded the movie from another country using tor and youtube-dl (which required a small bit of hacking due to some bug), uploaded it to somewhere else, and shared it back so he could redistribute a working link, and because it's fun to try to productively and inspirationally push the edges of this unfortunately-deadly-for-other-people struggle, as I can't do much else with my life at this point. Yesterday, this same friend sent out another movie, also on youtube. This time, the youtube video was censored worldwide! ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jq5bwI3j6g ) Not only that, as you may have heard, youtube-dl's source repository was issued a dmca takedown notice the very same day and is no longer easily accessible. The video is also missing on amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/95ers-Time-Runners-Alan-Peterson/dp/B00JP5R09K ) and other services; I haven't looked to see if these other unavailabilities are new or old. I eventually found the producer of the video on facebook, who raised it from a kickstarter, and messaged them. I eventually downloaded this movie from a very old torrent, which only went to 99.9% completion because I didn't hunt down the last few pieces. Torrents are so much more reliable than youtube. I haven't even watched it yet myself. Here it is on ipfs: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmSwreXf9Jc2X4bZzBw1JT5LRDagsMJoZxUBEFC15UuHyW/95ers%2…

community-administrated servers
by Karl 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

To resolve server admins being targeted, -> set up a server -> run a simple wiki (preferably one users can fork; mediawiki has a basic poorly-maintained git remote that works enough) -> run a simple service that watches a page on the wiki for changes -> the service waits for the page to change, and then for that page to go for 1 day/week without changes (for it to stabilize), treats the content as an e.g. docker file, and uses it to run a user-defined service towards an end -> logs are publicized on the wiki doop-te-doo
