Yes, Tor was developed by the US Government for US spies in Russia.

GPS was developed by the US Government.

RSA was classified by the US Government.

Lots of other stuff is also connected to the US government.

The title is misleading.

Now I am in a debate.

Is this bad because he is trying to associate more things with the USA, or good because America is two whole continent where Mexico is just a country.

Check out this media bias chart.

https://adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/

Hint: though some search features are paid etc. There is raw data in JSON format in the raw HTML code.

Also check https://www.allsides.com/media-bias

Google News works decent.

My problem is that very few media are right leaning, so bias meditation via counterweight is impossible.

> Note: I've had this post drafted for 3 YEARS!!! It's finally time to publish it.

Did you say that just so we could imagine the world where you published it earlier?

Thanks anyway, and nice site!

I though he would try to net profit through probability by requesting to regenerate the file and hope to get a compressible one in at least 5000/100=50 times. (Though I don't think that would work.)

Thank you so much for making this.

I am still figuring out how exactly the filter works. The guide you linked is great, but I was confused how to replicate the steps in your editor.

Fur purposes of playing around, it would be great if you linked some good images/examples. The ones in my download folder are kind of bad.

More people die of Suicide than Malaria aparently.

Somehow what actually kills people, is different from what you think kills people.

Someone should make a search engine for these.

Edit: Someone already made something, but it is crappy: https://legacy.awesomelists.top/#/

FYI: Schools have firewalls that block social media, but kids learn to use VPNs.

Some schools ban phones but allow laptops and tablets. It is the phones specifically that are the problem, not social media. (apparently)

My phone usage dropped after I got a personal laptop and an eBook reader. So did pretty much every one else's. The phone is just really inconvenient for anything other than doomscrolling.

In my opinion, the lack of alternative activities is overlooked. It is a ban and a prayer that the problem will solve itself.

Fairly useless project in my impression.

Wikipedia can give the same or better answers.

You would need to be have insane quality control especially on the "Learn more" sections. The articles linked right now are nowhere close to good enough.

My first search result was thehotline.org, and it does have a button that redirects to google.com. (But that's a US site)

> You can quickly leave this website by clicking the “X” in the top right or by pressing the Escape key twice.

And it does have some kind of Escape key functionality.

The gov.uk page has some listed hotlines by nation (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/domestic-abuse-how-to-get-help#g...), but none of them are actually using that exact red button:

- https://www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk/ uses green bookmark in bottom right and redirects to google.co.uk

- https://dsahelpline.org/ has a green area at the bottom right
