I see no reason to believe this is a false flag. If there's no evidence for it, why should we believe it to be so?

I'm really disappointed with the Internet Archive's level of unprofessionalism when it comes to any form of downtime whatsoever (let alone the blog). The monolithic one stop shop "Internet Library" can not even bother to put updates on their downtime page and instead directs their user base to social media platforms.

Call me a nut, but I feel the IA would work better if it was run by the Library of Congress, but then again that has it's own pitfalls.

Then why keep the name OpenAI?

That's the number one way of getting mad LLM disease. Feeding LLMs to LLMs.

All it took to easily replace the battery on my IPAQ PocketPC was another battery.

> It's like they just copy-pasted their production line processes, but clearly that's not necessary.

If they copy-pasted their production line processes the parts would cost less than $40 total.

I say this with the best of intentions. Please, seek medical attention and attempt to contact a doctor. You are seriously delusional and may require psychiatric medication.

Looking up "United Nations Internet Fund" all I found was this: https://www.un.org/technologybank/new-partnership-will-boost...

> AN IRONIC DREAM OF A COMMON LANGUAGE FOR WOMEN IN THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

Despite being written before LLMs, it really does seem like it was written by one from that title alone.

> And as for those who can't store their own password securely, they shouldn't be using Proton in the first place.

I think that the strongarming is a result of them actively trying to target the layman, them not wanting complaints from newbie users who lose their password. Not that that justifies it of course.

>The TCP traffic also adjusts parameters such as window sizes to emulate different operating systems, keeping the activity stealthy and difficult to pinpoint.

>The Time to Live (TTL) values, which dictate how long a packet stays on the network before it's discarded, are set between 120 and 200 to resemble realistic network hops.

Sounds like someone testing something nefarious.

Why are all the good browsers giving up all the hard work and good quality to become skins of bad browsers? Opera was a major fatality in this area.

Brave is a fake privacy browser.

From what I've heard, despite explicitly opting out of telemetry, it often makes requests to “laptop-updates.brave.com” which is actually also used for affiliates.

Now people don't even need other people to create an echo chamber, what could go wrong?

Mozilla is inching ever closer to Google ethics. First them removing compact mode and the nice, clean interface,

then them moving towards advertising "[looking to hire someone] passionate about display advertising in Mozilla products",

then starting to abandon the whole reason they exist (https://www.jwz.org/blog/2023/12/remember-when-mozilla-made-...), and now this kind of shit.

Not a problem, I just won't visit anywhere dodgy. Either way, I've got the latest service pack and have been using them for a year or so every day without issue.

I don't see how that's "fucking scary" - the idea that only Arabs can be Muslim is itself racist, is it not?

It is somewhat understandable why some people associate terrorist attacks with Muslims, as unfortunate as that may be. Not that I'm saying that Muslims commit the most terrorist attacks, it just so happens that the most well known ones in the west happen to have been committed by Islamic extremists. E.g, WTC 93, 9/11, London Bombings, Boston Marathon.
