These sorts of attacks rely on a person finding themselves in a pretty shady situation already. You would have had to responded to some shady Web link or some shady email, and already clicked on a few shady links to get to the point where you were screen sharing with some bad actor somewhere. This exploit would have to be run on someone who was already pretty far down the rabbit hole.

If you’re pretty careful, you would never get started in the first place.

In fact, sometimes you will see these reports, and it turns out that these exploits exist only in a lab where they tested it, and haven’t been discovered in the real world

Yeah, that too.

As more and more people flee windows and seek alternatives, expect to see this sort of thing to increase.

I was alluding to more of a slow crumble

Like a flan in a cupboard

Yeah, well, let me know when the Canadians are gonna come over the seventh hill…

(((MUCH DOUBT)))

Screaming “I’m sorry“ and gifting us all giant jugs of maple syrup

Oh, unless I forget, please burn down the atrocity that Trump has made of the White House. Seriously, you’ll be doing this all the fucking favor.

No, the Canadians are gonna keep to themselves with their resources and universal healthcare. Then they’re gonna watch us collapse from afar.

We had our chance to revolt, but we decided to watch Netflix and Hulu instead. The greatest explosion of potential that collapsed into the depths of everyone’s disappointment. No, I realized than by ourselves. Of course, that’s why heroin is now very legal here and freely distributed by the government.

Hey Siri, what a shame that we collectively decided that we were “above” that. We could’ve fun and gotten our country back but no no no we were “above” all of the precise level of violence who was required to reclaim our freedom. No, no no, we’re too good for that now. Better off to be slaves than to engage in a violence!.

the US is far too big and powerful to collapse…

it can only metastasize… and it’s really doing that already

he’d have to literally kill all of them to “lose” them, and even that might not do it… Lindsay Graham followed Trump into his grave, and his ghoul of a sister (which I’m convinced is just a Lindsay Graham lich) popped right up to take his place and keep following him!

they will literally follow him off this (or any) cliff

“two-way street” implies an equal exchange, not just equal opportunity to speak, and only someone who’s never been on the receiving end of one would ever make the mistake of thinking there’s anything equal about it.

in fact, the only ones I’ve ever heard make that argument are bigots themselves, trying to excuse or defend their bigotry while shifting blame to their victims for “not standing up for themselves” or some other victim-blaming bullshit.

DARVO (an acronym for “Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender”) is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as abusers, narcissists, or sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior.[1] Research indicates that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.

DARVO

I’m clearly not the only one here who feels this way, and I’m sure that none of us are surprised that, right from the start, you’re deflecting any responsibility for what you’ve created.

free speech is a two way street

it really isn’t

You can debate your point with out dehumanizing others, when you can’t, you’ve already lost the argument.

No. You can’t. And giving a “open mic“ to the Nick Fuenteses and Stephen Millers, and Charlie Kirks of the world who will put on a suit and a tie and try to “debate” you while dehumanizing others with nice sounding words gives them a platform to spread their hate while framing it as a “civilized debate“ rather than the coded bigotry that it is, while you cast aside any responsibility for letting them do it, tossing your hands up and claiming “free speech”.

It’s plainly and obviously bullshit. It’s like inviting a vampire into the house and then being surprised when everyone turns up dead.

But it doesn’t appear that you’re specifically disallowing it either

You are definitely entitled to feel that way though.

My concern is that this is what you will also say to the bigots when they arrive

When you sit down at a table and nine Nazis sit down at that table with you, there are now 10 Nazis sitting at that table.

It has been my experience that “free speech” (especially online) is code for “bigotry welcome”.

I see nothing in the description here to convince me this will be any different.

Oh, I agree. It really would be nice if ublock origin light was installed by default.

I prefer uBlock Origin Lite on Safari. I switched a while back because adblock wasn’t catching ads in YouTube.

They have pretty good privacy and anti-fingerprinting stuff in Safari, but not ad blocking— although they do have an odd tool for “hiding distracting items“ that can work as an ad hoc ad blocker of sorts. On the other hand, ublock origin light works wonderfully for me. Both on macOS Safari and iOS Safari.

Fucking losers

Edit: the Nazis, obviously— geez…

So several places on earth have now gotten so hot, they’ve literally burst into flames. And people still deny climate change. 🤦‍♂️
