Know some good shit on Tor? Let us know. Whether it be substitutes for clearnet services, or just the .onion domain for whatever, or just something cool.

What I found:
>privacytools.io site
privacy2zbidut4m4jyj3ksdqidzkw3uoip2vhvhbvwxbqux5xy5obyd.onion
>Invidious (YouTube front-end)
http://grwp24hodrefzvjjuccrkw3mjq4tzhaaq32amf33dzpmuxe7ilepcmad.onion/
(Clearnet version: https://vid.puffyan.us/ )
Requires enabling certain scripts to work unfortunately. You can sign up and make a list of subscriptions though.
>Nitter (Twitter front-end)
http://3nzoldnxplag42gqjs23xvghtzf6t6yzssrtytnntc6ppc7xxuoneoad.onion/

All of my software exists to destroy capital.

Quite literally. That is the true purpose of free software to me.

To eliminate capitalist control over my computing.

And for that matter corporate control of the same.

Thus saith the Preacher:

> If the users don't control the program, the program controls the users. With proprietary software, there is always some entity, the “owner” of the program, that controls the program and through it, exercises power over its users. A nonfree program is a yoke, an instrument of unjust power.

> Richard M. Stallman

It also literally destroys capital; consider the case of Blender. Whole proprietary software industries have died in its wake, replaced by a world where 3D artists collaboratively contribute to Blender, either with code, or with money to pay for code.

>This is laughable now. Webpages are not "proprietary software". They're adhering to a variety of open W3C standards which is why you can inspect the code on the page and the like.
W3C standards are whatever google shits out in chrome. There isn't even a working alternative browser aside from firefox i.e. puppet opposition (and even then shit refuses to work/gets slow) and safari which is just of the same cartel. The "standards" are now way too complicated for any competition to exist since nothing short of international megacorp can maintain such a codebase, let alone make profits.
JS is usually obfuscated and actively anti user - ads, popups, install our app, give us your email, tracking every mouse movement of the user, fingerprinting the shit out of their browser, etc.
Let that sink in, then we can talk.

Good:

Avoid:
>4chan - garbage.
>Reddit - garbage.
>Any altchan (except for here, not including Tor IBs)
>Element (formerky riot.im) - not actually encrypted or safe, given how they can still see what you're doing, provided that your homeserver is matrix.org. i'd watch out. You can self-host, but that requires maintenance and technical know-how (+ a registrar that won't kick you) assuming you run a server of your own. But if you want to find one? Self-hosted Element instances are hard to come by, namely because no single list of all the differebt websites that have their own Ekement chat client. So you're just gonna have to know what you're looking for. So is it centralized? Pretty much, yes.
>Viber - requires a GSM number. You cannot use VoIP. So as a result I never used it.
>Discord - garbage.

 No.19479

myeah given that RFID readers in stores and whatnot can barely read the damn things even when you're pressing your debit card to them, I wouldn't be so worried. plus there's the fact that people often have more than one RFID card in their wallet, negating almost the entire benefit compared to a magnetic stripe. you can even see that they need to basically touch their victim's ass for it to work
a friend of mine asked me what it would take to be able to read an RFID card from say 50 meters away. I pointed out that 13.56 MHz has a wavelength of 22 meters or so, so any practical antenna will have a width on the order of half of that, plus you'd need a lot of power. so basically you'd have to set up an HF station nearby and somehow point a long Yagi-Uda antenna at the target without them noticing. something like pic related
with LF (120-150 kHz) tags it becomes even more ridiculous, but maybe you could wrap a reading coil around the ground where you expect your target to be or something

Will there ever be an alternative video platform that matches its ability to let you regularly put out content to a large audience?
Vimeo comes close but you have to pay to exceed the limits and the audience is definitely more limited.

To help make this an actual plan I think it may be worth a shot someone approach someone like vedal987 to try Owncast or PeerTube because 1. he likely does at least mild programming so these sort of things may interest him for being open source and 2. Neuro-sama being just an AI that can occasionally get unhinged has gotten him banned on Twitch before and this could potentially happen again and 3. Neuro-sama seemingly keeps gaining momentum in relative popularity among vtubers themselves and viewers so it may help these other platforms gain some more traction for more users and eventually if enough people switch through strategies like this in different niches there will be a tipping point even more people will come.

Pointing out that youtube is not profitable is like pointing out that the janitorial staff at a company are not profitable. Google/Alphabet is a lot bigger than youtube. Youtube is just a tool for them. They acquired it because of how they can use it, not because it will make them money. IDK the internal politics there ofc but it does seem like the CEOs of youtube have it in their heads that they need to be profitable and think they are the ones who are finally going to do it. Maybe google just tells them youtube needs to be profitable so they reduce costs as much as possible. If Google needed youtube to be profitable they would have gotten rid of it years ago because it's never been profitable.

Yes all indications are it is the same site:

- No ads
- Same look and feal
- No censorship
- A means to report abusive URLs
- Troll scroll is there and it's exactly the same format as it was before not evil disappeared. When it first resurfaced I noticed that it even had some of the old chat logs from back in 2021 in the default /dev/null channel.

These are the only cell phones that are acceptable to use without having to rely on Soygle. As of 2019, all commercial cell phones came with a proprietary baseband chip which is basically backdoored spyware. As for GrapheneOS? Don't even think about. There is so much blobbed sources plus the ARM Trustzone backdoor that they claim they fixed (which is horseshit). Oh, and you have to always consoom the newest Goooooooooogle products like an iToddler because of device support issues and the small number of people who work for the project. There is no real guarantee of safety on an Android unless you were running it on a VM.

Pinephones/Librems are horseshit too. Same goes with dumb phones. Your carrier can always log your shit. And 2G/3G getting discontinued in favor of VoLTE spyware. You can probably substitute this with software that helps you change voices, spoof nunbers and so on for the calls. I'd installl Tails OS on it.

But you can still use old pixels and install grapheneos on them? It's the same as being unable to upgrade android on older phones.
