If you want to "expose the far left" don't make yourself look stupid by complaining about things that are not "far left" in any way what so ever. In your last paragraph you seem to be sort of getting it. The quoted things are to appeal to intellectuals, as they would make the government more representative of the people and reduce the power of extremists. They are not "marxism" and I think that point will become painfully clear if they become the extremists, they will then pretend they never heard of such ideas.

Use the really dumb "defund the police" slogan (which if taken literally means there would not be any law enforcement). Don't make yourself look like an imbecile by claiming all kinds of random things they say are "marxism".

I think you are right I just subconsciously ignore those. What I usually do with maps is click on the little indicators in the maps, this seems to show the one I clicked on without any "sponsored". So far that (and directly searching for a place by name) has not introduced a "sponsored" result. Hopefully Apple is doing the same.

Holy crap you are showing the desperation of somebody who is losing their argument.

Yes the DSA talks about ranked choice voting and increasing the size of the house and the Supreme Court and reducing the senate's power and so on. But these are all so moderates and proportional representation have a chance. It is not "marxist" in any way whatsoever, in fact it is the opposite.

I do fear the DSA, if the win, and feel they will still be preferred over extreme-right candidates, will suddenly have amnesia and forget all these promises (since they still help moderates, who would win over the extreme left just like they would win over the extreme right). But you are a fool to say these ideas are "marxist".

No. Trying to push 30TB into Freenet will be interpreted as an attack on the network by other peers and they'll disconnect from your peer.

Freenet is better viewed as a communication medium than a storage medium. Data is prioritized according to demand, somewhat like an LRU cache. You can't upload 30TB and expect the network to preserve it for you.

On liability, running a Freenet peer is more like running network infrastructure that automatically routes and caches other people's traffic than intentionally publishing it. US law explicitly recognizes this distinction in the DMCA's provisions for transitory network communications and system caching. We discuss this in more detail in the FAQ.

You obviously haven't tried Freenet. You can join our room on River and you'll see no spam, no fraud, no hate speech, none of that.

Decentralized doesn't mean unmoderated. Systems built on Freenet can be moderated however their creators and communities want. River is moderated.

The difference is that nobody running one service gets to decide what everyone else is allowed to run.

Submission + - Freenet: Apps Without Platforms

Sanity writes: Earlier this year Slashdot covered the launch of the completely redesigned Freenet. I recently gave a talk about what we've been building since then. Unlike traditional web applications, apps on Freenet have no central server or database, with application state instead distributed across the network. These now include decentralized group chat, publishing, search, and fully decentralized Git hosting. The talk also gets into some of Freenet's internals, including how we use machine learning for network routing.

Why isn't there a second independent AI that examines the main AI's output, and decides if it should be censored or not. If it thinks so, the answer is not delivered.

Since the second one is only looking at the first AI's output it seems like it would be difficult or impossible to fool it, especially if it's window is very short (like only the current message).

I assume there is some reason this does not work. Any explanations?

City Council member of a non-listed Twin Cities suburb I know:

FBI is involved. Most water systems use one of two control/alert systems that are old and make them easy targets.

All they did was shut down components of the systems e.g., wells/sewer lift stations. Most cities were able to cycle manually to get back up and running. There was not messages warning or ransom of which I am aware.

They could have done a lot more damage if they wanted to, rather than just shutting things down.
