Deregulation

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

Gimp, krita, inkscape, scribus covers my needs well

Why cant you afford it? Didn’t you think about how you were going to pay it back when you signed the papers agreeing that you would pay it back?

Real meme is in the comments

Tell me you’re new here without saying you’re new.

My work has a process for requesting software. Over the last five years, I’ve been slowly getting open source alterntives approved, using them, and telling coworkers they’re approved. It’s just one super specialized software left.

Here, you’ll probably like this book: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8qUyTkGux7eYkNES2gtNHBLcFE/edit?resourcekey=0-hxPdlh0Y1k6UnRqKYV-2iA

What went wrong with the Soviet Union?

No the comic is showing the government is litterally small, implying welfare cuts. Reality is, any “cuts” are just going to be moved somewhere else. Not given back to the tax payers.

Both love big gov, just slight differences in which wars they want to support and which industries will get government funding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P

I2P and Tor both aim to provide anonymous internet browsing but differ in their architectures and methods. Tor (short for The Onion Router) uses a system of layered encryption to route internet traffic through a network of volunteer-operated servers. This creates a series of encrypted layers (hence the onion analogy) that mask the user’s IP address and data content from any would-be observers.

In contrast, I2P uses a garlic routing technique, where multiple messages are bundled together into a single encrypted packet. This method enhances privacy by making it more difficult for anyone to analyze the traffic and link the data back to specific users.

Also, Tor supports access to the open internet (clearnet), while I2P only allows access to websites and services (known as eepsites) within its own networks. Outproxies, which are similar to Tor exit nodes, can be used to access the clearnet with I2P. However, this reduces privacy as your data leaves the network and is a less common use case.

The problem with any media heavy content is storage. Fediverse is diy, mom’s basement servers. Who’s going to pay for all the storage?

I guess because it can federate with other servers and protocols?

Never heard of that for, it looks exactly built for this problem, better than torrent. Good call.

anyway to use torrent protocol somehow? Like popcorn time did?

Great work!

It’s so gimmicky compared to something actually useful, like better battery.

Based on OPs experience this is the best solution.

If they want to learn, I found plex + plexamp was pretty easy to get going.

Someone should start a thread about what communities we miss most (if there isn’t one already)
