Go touch grass dude. When you’re just following people around harassing them on the internet, it’s time to go out and get some fresh air.

This is Reddit-tier behavior. Love how you don’t talk about any of his reply, or have any rebuttals - but literally just go through his history and attack him personally instead of focusing on what was said.

Nobody is claiming that children are being ‘turned trans’…again with the shit where you guys put words in my mouth…every…single…time…

regular heterosexual shit should be kept away from children too. They don’t need to be introduced to that crap at such a young age. So here we are again, as a perfect representation of Lemmy.

You say something – and the ‘you’re a bigot’-brigade auto-completes what they THINK you mean, decide you’re being mean to them, and then attempt to shut you down. You cannot realistically have a conversation over here without it turning into…^^^^^ this.

Removed by mod

That’s not true at all - just because a mod writes it - doesn’t make it fact. I explained myself in those posts. Anything over in these instances is immediately deemed transphobic whether it is or not. If you don’t fall in line 100%, and want to have any kind of opinion - it’s immediately labeled transphobic and removed.

I got banned from a community for saying I wasn’t going to call a vagina a front hole. Apparently that’s transphobic.

You know how they’ve been saying “Xbox isn’t going away! Xbox isn’t dying!”

What if they announce an Xbox SteamDeck 🤣

RIP FromSoftware.

Because yes, “the left” never changes anything, and only goes further right.

(hint: That’s not how this works)

Over the decades we’ve made massive strides in equal rights for various marginalized groups. But sometimes the dance takes a step backwards before moving forward again.

I mean, legit true though. A lot of ISPs are selling your data now too.

It’s less secure. Tor encrypts your BROWSER data. VPN encrypts ALL of your data. Your browser isn’t the only thing that you have to worry about regarding privacy.

Do you see how that would make Tor less secure than VPN? Is that clear?

I’m pointing out a false equivalency argument here, not arguing about your semantics. If you wanna start arguing the definitions of words, you’ve already lost.

Read your own damn article:

Because it’s designed with privacy and anti-surveillance in mind, it generally runs slower than the regular internet and is not designed for content streaming.

For Fucks sake…

If you think VPN-using browsers do not have vulnerabilities

VPN is not “a browser”, it’s a network stack. It is separate from whatever you use for a browser. If you use Tor, you still use a browser. So your argument is absolutely coming from an asinine point of view where you clearly don’t understand the technologies behind each.

This was just in October. This is only the latest in a long history of Tor being a target for attacks. Sorry you’re ignorant of that fact, but Tor is quite possibly the worst choice for any task. A VPN will always be faster, more reliable, and more secure.

Here’s another in January: https://www.securityweek.com/tor-code-audit-finds-17-vulnerabilities/

And, it’s basically the only service where it relies on freely added Tor exit nodes, where anyone can set up a node and start siphoning off data – as data between the exit node and your end path is NOT protected.

Granted, this is the same for VPNs, but anyone can set up their own Tor Exit node. VPNs have a business incentive to make sure not just anyone is in the chain for access to that data.

I can fully saturate a symmetrical gigabit connection with my VPN. I can’t touch a fraction of that with Tor.

Tor is for oppressive countries where anonymity and misdirection are more important than performance. It’s literally worse than a VPN in every single way unless you’re concerned with a major country coming for your head. And even then - Tor isn’t going to save you.

Windscribe $2/mo. Also supports Wireguard. I don’t even use their dumbass client, I just export a profile for Wireguard - which is quite a bit faster than OpenVPN

And Tor sucks. You shouldn’t use it for torrenting, it’s frequently targeted by intelligence agencies for IP unmasking, etc.

These fucking things always tip-toe around the issue anyone wants a VPN for: Piracy.

Are you pirating shit? Yes? Use a VPN.

Bro, GhatGPT wrote a better apology:

Dear Community,

Look, we know we sell little plastic figures—not games, not platforms, not anything remotely digital—but somehow, we’ve managed to trip over our own shoelaces and knock something precious to all of you right off the shelf. Yes, we’re talking about itch.io, and yes, we understand the gravity of what happened.

We’re not going to sugarcoat it: we messed up. We’re not entirely sure how the dominoes fell this way, but somehow, through a series of unfortunate events (and probably some poorly-thought-out legal maneuvers), our actions have impacted an entire community that thrives on creativity and passion. That was never our intention, and it’s not who we want to be.

The truth is, we’re sitting here staring at our little figures, wondering how something so small can lead to such a big screw-up. We know this affects you, and we’re genuinely sorry for the frustration, confusion, and anger we’ve caused.

We don’t expect forgiveness overnight, but please know we’re working hard to make this right. We’re talking to the people who actually know what they’re doing (because, let’s face it, we clearly don’t), and we’re committed to doing better moving forward.

We value this community more than you realize, even if we’ve done a poor job of showing it. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you’ll give us the chance to earn back your trust—not just with our figures, but with our actions.

Yeah, QWERTY was absolutely used to slow down typing as well, but it had a secondary function of spreading out the letters.

DVORAK just has the one function. It didn’t have to contend with other baggage. But it doesn’t mean QWERTY didn’t also have that goal. But since QWERTY handles the same goal that DVORAK does, reasonably well, it doesn’t hit the threshold needed for us to swap over.

Additionally, DVORAK is kind of nasty because it has all of the vowels on the left hand. I just picked a random word “Control” and most of the work is being done by the right hand; most of the time on the same finger row, which is horribly inefficient. Control on QWERTY is roughly equally left and right handed; not clusters of similarly used letters.

A common estimate of the ratio of vowels to consanants in the english language is 3:1 – So you’ll be doing 3x as much work on your right hand than with your left. Which makes DVORAK kind of garbage tbh.

Transfer rate is fucking phenomenal, but the latency is absolute trash.
