I'm sorry but, what the actual fuck is wrong with allistics?

a fucking revelation?! shape better therapy strategies?! how about shaping a more holistic approach to understanding people and interacting socially and allowing neurodivergent people to be themselves? how about spend an hour talking to an autistic person while actually considering how they react to things rather than assuming we're emotionless computers just because we don't use the same social cueing criteria as allistics?

jesus fucking christ this headline got me riled.

looks like you can indeed repackage any PS2 game to run on any PS3 running HEN firmware, per this post.

I mean, you could similarly reason that bisexuals aren't welcome (both gays and lesbians are solely attracted to the same sex, after all), or that asexuals aren't welcome (you can be asexual and heteroromantic, after all), and so on. I think, ultimately, that unity between us is important, and allowing the umbrella to protect all members of gender, romantic, and sexual minorities strengthens the overall cause rather than weakening it.

What you're talking about is supposed anonymity in obfuscation, and that has been proven to not work.

if it's been proven not to work, then neither I2P nor VPN is worth using, no?

most VPN companies keep logs and can be subpoenaed.

well, sure, but that's why anybody looking into a VPN is generally advised to use specific, known-good VPN providers who don't keep logs and who, preferably, aren't headquartered in a country with strict IP law.

the whole purpose of a VPN is to anonymize internet traffic, so they have many servers that send traffic out to the internet, which improves both anonymity and bandwidth. I2P is more akin to Tor, with anonymizing internet traffic as a bit of an afterthought, and the limited number of internet-connecting nodes makes users' traffic more trackable.

sure, but I2P’s end-to-end encryption is for connecting to I2P addresses, not the general internet. I’m unclear on whether every node serves as an anonymized connection to the internet, though.

EDIT: read a little deeper! so no, not every computer connected to I2P is an internet-connected node, but, due to the limited number of internet-connected nodes, I2P does not offer the same level of anonymity that a VPN does, and may struggle from bandwidth issues.

ah that’s good to know. though I would note it stemmed from a comment by Stein herself in an AMA on reddit, not just random redditors making up conspiracies.

still not voting for her over Claudia & Karina, though.

PSL is already on the ballot in 20 states now and a GA judge blocked them being added to the ballot, so there's now a court battle

are they cool at all?

Jill Stein has aligned herself with anti-vaxxers so I'm gonna have to go with no on that one

I2P

wait, so this would route my traffic through others' internet connections and theirs through mine? seems like a great way to get implicated for actually illegal activity, like, say, other people running I2P to download and/or upload certain types of porn.

This is ~~not~~ sorta the law of equivalent exchange.
