Comment Re:Additional... both sides are showing bad behavi (Score 1) 834

both are just not constructive.

The death threats are just plump and they are anonymous cowards.
The other side actually believes their stuff, but does not use death threat but only arrogant hate speech looking down to the people who are criticising them, saying "the critic not relevant, its just a misogynist, it's not possible (s)he's* attacking the argument, (s)he's or me as asshole person, but (s)he must be attacking the feminist movement"

* sorry for gendering, but i did not want to silently accept the "all critics are straight white men" statement in my own argumentation.

Comment Maybe a really good idea (Score 1) 834

Someone posting a threat wants to threaten you and is not just doing it. So filter it, you do not even see it, the person does not get any feedback if the message arrived (do not send negative feedback, they can try to evade the filter than) and must assume they are filtered. So they either need to publicize the threat in their own media (being easily traced, standing publicly with their reputation behind it) or just stop it. Or they can escalate it to the reality, which is something well known by police, which can act without thinking about "is this the new cyber thingy". Most people would just be stopped and with me not even noticing it i would have the people of mind.

Comment Re:This is not 'How to'. It's moralising (Score 1) 834

if you publicize it, the troll gets a reaction. This is a mistake. And other people get an idea and see the idea can be successful. Just shut up and wait until the shitstorm is over. And try not to attract trolls again. You cannot win, there are too many destructive people out there. Starting to cry loud "the assholes are haressing me" will not reduce the count of assholes haressing, but chances are it will increase them. So stop giving feedback.

Comment Tor Directory (Score 1) 135

Isn't this a great attack vector anyway? Impersonate the directory and show the clients only your nodes.

@guards: does the guard know, its the guard of a hidden service? Maybe someone used tor nodes in the hope to become guard of the services, maybe renewed the node-ids often and then uncloaked them?

Comment Maybe the storage, but not the usage (Score 1) 206

video needs a totally different type of attention. You need sound, you need attention to only one thing, you cannot really multitask, it consumes more time than reading text and looking at images and you can skip through text without missing the important parts, but you cannot easily skip inside a video and be sure not to skip over something important.
video is no usecase for "just reading what my cousin did today", its something for people wanting to invest their time into something interesting.
