French police dismantle widespread paedophilia network hidden on Telegram in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] 1984@lemmy.today 30 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The suspects – aged 25 to 75 – come from a wide range of backgrounds. They include a priest, a grandfather, a music teacher, a paramedic and others described as “good family men”.

Every. Fucking. Time.

Something about becoming a priest in life must be about trying to fight inner thoughts you dont want to have. Maybe you want to believe that God can help remove thoughts. Its interesting. They are always on lists of pedophiles.

My instance federates with everyone and is very stable. The owner has posted many times that its not the job of the instance owner to control opinions, which I heavily agree with.

Obvious trolls gets kicked out but generally people are encouraged to have opinions and discussions. I think its a great instance.

There is a signup but that was only added because spammers made it necessary, not because the owner wanted it.

Its funny because humans see themselves as very smart, but they built a society where everyone has to work all day to pay their bills, because fantasy "money" is seen as a real, almost physical limitation like air and water, and decider of life or death despite just existing inside computer programs.

And humans still fight eachother, kill eachother, have wars on a global scale, because all big country leaders are narcissist psychopats.

Actually when taking a step back from all this, its very sad to be part of this species. What are we supposed to be proud of when we leave this planet? I guess at least we can try to not do harm on a personal level and try to bring up children who can think for themselves and are kind to others.

I meant that with Trump in charge of the USA, it would be at the bottom of the ranking if it was included in the European stats.

Firefox Money: Investigating the bizarre finances of Mozilla (lunduke.locals.com)
 

Im one of those die hard firefox users and have been using it for over a decade.

It's quite worrying that it relies on Google to exist. This article details the finances behind it, and it's an interesting read.

  • Mozilla have tons of money, and the donations are tiny in comparison to their real revenue stream.

  • 70% of revenue comes from Google, by having Google Search as a default search engine.

  • Its not clear where the revenue is being spent. There are no large costs.

New Encryption Protocol to avoid surveillance capitalism from famous hacker group (gizmodo.com)

Veilid is “an open-source, peer-to-peer, mobile-first networked application framework, with a flagship secure messaging application named VeilidChat.” Application frameworks of this sort are flexible software packages that can be iterated on and changed by infusing new code into them. Developers who want to create new programs with the same privacy protections will be able to build off of Veilid’s open source structures.

Cult members say their protocol is built from the same digital DNA as the Tor browser and the chat app Signal and will be used to create new ways for folks to communicate, share files, and generally surf the web while simultaneously protecting their privacy. The idea is to offer users an escape from the constant data collection and monetization that undergirds most web interactions (also commonly referred to as “surveillance capitalism”).

Veilid is written in Rust (just like Lemmy btw) and the group will talk about it on the next Defcon conference.

Domains Kagi users create personalization for (kagi.com)

It's quite interesting watching what domains Kagi users are creating personalizations for in the search engine.

You can block, raise, lower or pin selected websites. I noticed that reddit is one of the top raisers because people simply don't find unbiased results otherwise.

Another example of how big tech is just corrupted to the core.

Actually sounds like a good book to read!

Is this really true?

What do you guys on Lemmy say? Most of us are tech people so we are more used to being alone with our thoughts perhaps.

I'm happy to see this being noticed more and more. Google wants to destroy the open web, so it's a lot at stake.

Google basically says "Trust us". What a joke.
