Conflict? A good image is a good image regardless of its provenance. And yes 2020s era 4chan was pretty much glowboy central, one look at the top posts by country of origin said as much. It arguably wasn't worth bothering with since 2015

let commercial implementation and intent be as opaque as it wants provided people aren't required to interact with it

it’s the anonymity that empowers people to say the absolute worst things.

humans behave badly when they perceive they have social license to do so. anonymity has little to do with it

  • exhibit A: public robberies of German Jews in the 1930s
  • exhibit B: rwandan genocide
  • exhibit C: any public confrontation video shot during the Covid pandemic

your second paragraph makes you sound like Larry Ellison. all you're arguing for is the extension of the capacity of corporations to constrain and coerce invidiual behaviour, which is gross

The 1.17.8 flatpak onward doesn't even work. Every IFO I give it comes back with 'can't read lol' - it used to work flawlessly for remuxes

Look at salt typhoon. The fact that 3P actors can use the exploit/bdoor too only matters to Gov to the extent that those actors can threaten its own interests by using it. Aka fuck the end user

that's the point, to secure itself against $enemy-nation the state will first secure itself against the citizenry, by having a way of compromising citizens security on demand

ultimately governnment only cares that IT can exploit the mechanism, not that other actors cannot do so via the same mechanism

strip away all the obfuscation layers (there are so many lol) and thats pretty much the extent of the thought process of natsec orgs. you're the threat. its an utterly retarded mind virus thats infected them we can all agree, but from an individual's standpoint we can only protest and hope to shame the policymakers into a constructive course of action
