So what is the reason for doing it that way?

As long as it’s not an exit node, nobody will be able to tell what the traffic is. It’s all encrypted including the metadata.

That fact that you think “idealistic version of early US” is a compliment is very telling.

Your proposal is just an idealistic version of early US. You claim that corruption is fundamentally impossible, but assume that magically “the monarchs aren’t allowed to own property” without regard to enforcement. You claim to have an alternative to democracy but still propose majority voting on replacing rulers and constitutions. You simply assume that monarchs will keep each other in check and not devolve into the conspiring, warmongering tyrants that history is full of.

Power can always be abused to get more power and go against all your original ideals. The only way to definitely prevent corruption is to ensure power is never concentrated in the hands of few.

Turns out when Zuckerbot was talking about “allowing more speech on the platform”, he just meant more slurs.

“May be on shaky legal ground”

The law clearly states that Tiktok is banned and should be made inaccessible. The president cannot unilaterally change the law. They even got a lawyer to explain this to them.

Regardless of what you think of the ban, there can be no doubt about the fact that this is what the law says. No matter what Trump claims. If journalists show this level of misregard for truth and the rule of law, things are going to become much worse.

The revolution will not be televised.

Remember how the Titan sub used a game controller and everyone called them out? I think I’d still feel safer.

Putin couldn’t care less about the support from some random programmers. Be realistic, what do you expect them to do? Take up arms? Protest and get imprisoned? Vote in the sham elections?

Targeting random civilians in hopes of political change is the strategy of terrorists.

So then you agree that there is no reason to be “glad” about this?

And how exactly is banning these contributors supposed to stop the invasion? These people have no control or culpability.

Not my idea of a good date, but to each their own

“I dropped my fair share of hard Rs back then”

Such is the fate of hypercentralized spaces. The fediverse fixes this.

I don’t see how this is so difficult. Given the choice between a narcissistic billionaire or an independent, accountable government commission that’s bound by the rule of law, I’ll choose the latter every time.

Do you have experience with Spanish employment law?

Yes, it is generally a good idea to put internet-facing servers on a network that is separated from the local network. The point of this is not to minimize their attack surface (since they are already connected to the internet after all) but to prevent them from being used as a stepping stone for attacks on your internal network. To make this effective, you should block traffic from the internet-facing network to the rest of your network and treat it as potentially untrusted.
