Can we please raise community awareness and not refer to Parler as supporting free speech. They very specifically supported right-wing speech and banned any dissenting views.

For just one of many searchable examples: http://redwhiteandfyou.com/?p=14574

Deplatforming, as we're calling it now, does work. The problem is you misunderstand the strategy. Of course, when they're kicked off one host, they'll pop-up somewhere else. However, each time they're taken offline their community fractures. Some leave, some start competing services, by preventing the community from congregating in a single place they are prevented from obtaining critical mass again.

A good comparison is looking at what happened in the Pirating world. ThePirateBay used to be the only to go to place for media. Then they were continually shutdown, moved around, shutdown, etc. During that time, the community largely fractured, now while the TPB is back, it is a shadow of its former self, and finding specific or rare media requires searching through a dozen or so various torrent sites.

The parler/right-wing community will face the same problem. Eventually, Parler will learn how to stay online, but by that time their community will have shifted among a dozen or so forums and apps.

Maybe I'm using Siri wrong, or don't realize everything is can do, but... There's literally two things I every use Siri for because it's the only two things Siri seems to be able to consistently do well:
1) Hey siri set timer 15 minutes
2) Hey siri what is 1024 divide by 64

Anything other than variation on those two requests results in either Siri opening a web browser, which if I wanted a web browser I'd just do it myself, or returning nonsense.

I will say I don't know much about Comcast elsewhere, but I have several locations in Utah on Comcast Business and each has a static /64 allocation standard, I didn't even have to request it.

Your posts sounds all nice and fluffy, until reality sets in, here's an example of a pipeline built to American standards that recently leaked an estimated 9,120 barrels of oil: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/11/01/keystone-pipeline-leak-oil-spilled-north-dakota/4121954002/

OMG! So much this. In my area, walmart grocery actually delivers on-time and I've been using them once-a-week for months now, I've haven't yet had an order cancelled. But after a few attempts, I've given up ordering any produce. Everytime I've tried, it's been near rotting, or horribly bruised, or absurdly small... Like, no one wants your golf-ball sized oranges...

Still, for prepackaged foods and health products, walmart deliver is pretty great and saves me about an hour a week, then I do a once-every-two-weeks run to a local grocery to stock up on produce.

Well, there's your problem.

If you're worried about state-sponsored hackers, unless you yourself are a state, you are fucked. When your adversary can quite literally send ninja-in-helicopters at you, installing a firewall isn't going to help.

Besides, it's already widely know the five-eyes governments have hardware backdoors in Intel (through the IME) and AMD (through the PSP) processors. So why worry about one-more-government watching you?

Personally, as a U.S. citizen, I'd rather have the Chinese spying on me, since there's very little they can do to harm me (besides releasing a biological weapon (but what are the chances of that?)), rather than having the U.S. Gov. spy on me, since they can totally destroy my life. -- Well to clarify that statement, I'd rather have no one spy on me, but I don't really get a say in the matter.

Do you know what one of the best features of the www is?

Well, clearly you don't, so I'll tell you: It's the ability to link to other resources.

I "looked into" Forearm Forklift, obviously their relationship with Amazon is just fine as they're still selling through Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/...

So whatever problem you think they have with Amazon is apparently all in your head. If there's something else about forklifts you feel everyone needs to know about, maybe provide a reference next time.

That's some good trolling there. Sadly you need to try harder to make it believable. I'll pop your entire theory:

If U.S. hospitals are lying about cause of deaths and if we only had U.S. data we may believe you. But not every country has the U.S.'s fucked up healthcare system and we're seeing similar death ratios everywhere that reports trustworthy numbers (i.e. not China.)

Short answer: Hard.

Longer answer, it takes a lot of effort to prevent making clbuttical mistakes.
