  • ICE Hunts Down Immigrants by Spying on Their Wire Transfers

  • Maybe that's why there so little overlap between respected cryptography researchers and crypto developers?

    If you like tipping sex workers online it's okay, but don't spread a documented scam.

  • Monero is still built on the blockchain. Using Monero for privacy is like playing casino blackjack as a monetary investment because the odds are better than the lottery.

  • For the money laundering and human trafficking that he specifically was not accused of?

    Cryptocurrency is the enemy of privacy, and its use in this situation would increase the appearance of illegality, possibly opening up the accused to tax fraud allegations. Advocating for its use by people who can't afford to lose thousands of dollars in a pyramid scheme is absurd.

  • From Folding Ideas' "Triumph of the Will and the Cinematic Language of Propaganda":

    'Triumph of the Will' is not a triumph of film-making. I just want to lay that out before we even start. Chances are good that you're familiar with 'Triumph of the Will' by reputation but have never actually watched it beyond referential clips, and a sizable portion of that reputation is in its value as an advancement of the art of filmmaking. This is propaganda.

    Like, that belief is in and of itself propaganda.

    Nazi sympathizers spent a lot of time between the film's release in 1935 and the war promoting the idea of 'Triumph of the Will' as an advancement of filmmaking. It was an intentional message to promote Nazi state art as superior, to suggest that the Nazi mechanism can produce better more proficient art than the artist the Nazis were busy throwing in jail.

    It is however not a triumph of filmmaking; it is a triumph of budget. None of the ideas or techniques were new it is simply that no one had previously thrown enough money and resources at propaganda on this scale before. We'll come back to this and develop it in more detail, but I want to be upfront with the fact that you should be highly suspicious of any messaging surrounding propaganda.

  • What are some double standards in society for men ?

    Jump

  • Wow, you're really reaching there. I'm asking you to stop blaming women for men's problems. There's a group of people who aren't doing that, and if you don't want to be called a misogynist, follow the example of that group.

  • I think you misunderstood me. I do think men should have an analogous space. I support [email protected] 100%.

    If you didn't misunderstand me, men don't need a space specifically for comparing their issues negatively against women's issues. That space is everywhere and anywhere, as evidenced by this discussion occurring in [email protected] and collecting overwhelmingly positive upvotes.

  • We had to shutter [email protected] because of persistent and vocal judgement by a large population of Lemmy users, many from Lemmy.World. So no, talking about issues specific to their gender is definitely not a double standard where men get the short end of the stick.

    This is why you get judged. Because you so nakedly put on display how much ignorance and little empathy you have for women's issues.

    [email protected] exists specifically for men who understand their issues in society are intersectional with women's issues, and that solving them requires uniting to end patriarchy. Any discussion outside of that framing deserves the assumption that it's a misogynist men's pity party.

  • Rethinking free and open source and its role in the movement against capitalism - "Copyfarleft and Copyjustright"

    Jump

  • Is there a clear business model? It seems like the goal is to make it free for collectives and non-profit use, and then collect fees from for-profit companies. The CC-NC-SA has an obvious business case because not everyone has the capability to set up and use the software, but it's popularity can create a secondary market for people to pay for other people to host it for them -> leading to revenue. Basically the Freeware model with the addition of the source being open. With art it creates a carve-out for copyright that allows free sharing, but once the art is used in a commercial context, the artist should get a cut of the revenue.

    But if there's a secondary market of collectives providing that service without the need to pay, wouldn't they out-compete a privately owned service that pays for the software? Why would a privately owned service fund a software company that doesn't want them to exist? Likewise, why would a corporation use an artist's work that was shared under this license?
