Still better to watch 3letter news channels then 1letter social media platform.
DarkByte8··on TikTok CEO expects to defeat US ban: 'We aren't going anywhere'
Tell China to let Facebook, Instagram, Youtube in China and then it will be a fair competition.
DarkByte8··on TikTok CEO expects to defeat US ban: 'We aren't going anywhere'
Tell that to China that does not allow Facebook, Instagram and Youtube in China. They have access to 400 million americans but we can't have access to 1 billion Chinese people? China was running a long time a go
DarkByte8··on Google fires 28 employees involved in sit-in protest over $1.2B Israel contract
Yes, that would be freedom. Losing your job is a little to harsh for insulting people on the street. If you didn't do it on the job or job related then you should not lose your job. If you insult me now and I find out who you are and call your company they should not fire you for insulting me.

So is free from government consequences not people that can form a mob, not other entity that has power over an individual. To me it just sounds like you privatize social credit score from authoritarian government. "You are free to speak and the government can't knock on your door but by god the rest of the people will dox you and make sure that you can't find a job ever and be a homeless for the rest of your life(short one I hope).". There is no freedom of speech in america or any were. Freedom of speech is dead.

If freedom of speech is not free from consequences then what is freedom of speech?
DarkByte8··on RedHat employee bans Hyprland creator from FDO
The more you talk the more people will avoid you and people like you. You are not holding people accountable you are having a power trip and enacting vengeance on perceived transgressions. He did not harass anyone and for past transgression he apologize but the CoC board member felt like he needed a power trip. People like you should be held far away from any position of power.
DarkByte8··on RedHat employee bans Hyprland creator from FDO
> When trans people and trans allies have positions of authority in an open-source community, public transphobes will get issued preemptive bans for the health of the community and the project. It is altogether fitting and proper that this be done.

It sounds like abuse of power

Hope they get the same treatment has those that penetrated Manhattan Project, the Rosenberg treatment.
DarkByte8··on FBI obtains Kolektiva.social database while executing warrant on administrator
I know about the Red Scare. After reading about Venona project, the fact that most spies in 40s-50s were almost all communists I understand how the red scare came to be and support it.

Give me 3 examples in the last 10 years of FBI terrorizing political dissidents to neutralize their opinion.

What other groups that are outside of the mainstream has the FBI behind them? Could you give me 3 examples?
DarkByte8··on Kiwifarms Dropped by Their ISP
Apparently not enough for cloudflare to drop them.
DarkByte8··on Kiwifarms Dropped by Their ISP
Can someone explain to me how 4chan which is in the news all the time linked to mass shooters, linked to Trump and 2016 election, link to misinformation, etc. is still up but kiwifarms is dropped by every company?
DarkByte8··on Kiwifarms Dropped by Their ISP
Unfortunately people won't be bothered to check that the suicides are not cased by kiwifarms, they will just go with it and there are plenty of people to just repeat the lie until it becomes the truth.
DarkByte8··on Kiwi Farms has been removed from the Internet Archive
> That isn't apt, because removing Kiwi Farms from the Internet Archive doesn't remove it from existence.

The remove part was done already. They are not on the internet anymore. It was removed from Internet Archive because it contains some inconvenient information about DIY HRT to minors and other accusations.

DarkByte8··on Mark Zuckerberg on the Joe Rogan Experience
"Rogan is not capable of holding Zuckerberg's feet to the fire on anything of consequence." Does every place needs to hold someone's feet to the fire, every interview needs to be an adversarial interview?
DarkByte8··on Russia Sanctions Add Shock Internet Censorship Twist for UK ISPs
Sometimes you need to act in the present. Russia is bombing civilians and is pumping propaganda into nations that help Ukraine trying to convince those nations to not support Ukraine. I don't see how stopping that propaganda is counterproductive. Once the war is over with Russia losing it and Putin out then we stop with the censorship and go back to counter the propaganda using education, information, etc.

DarkByte8··on The battle for the world’s most powerful cyberweapon
Why is the FBI paying to get Pegasus? Doesn't the US have NSA to do this kind of hacks or find no click zero days in Android/iPhone and share the zero days with the FBI? Or why hasn't someone try to trick NSO to hack a monitored phone and find out the zero day? I am having these questions because every time I hear about NSO there is this question in my head "What is so special about NSO?". I see 2017, 2018, etc. how can someone have zero days for years and no one copy the zero day or fix the zero day? Why I don't hear about NSO competition? Does it have competition?

DarkByte8··on FBI raids researcher who discovered private patient data on public server (2016)
In Romania most police raids happen at 5 AM, knock on a door a few times if no one answer, the door is breached and everyone is ordered to get on the ground, if it is a child there it is removed by a police officer, taken outside and calmed. The police enter with pistols drawn, no rifles because flats and houses in Romania are small and is hard to maneuver with the rifle. This is done to most criminals regardless of crime.

The reason is that when you raid someone they can get scared and do stupid things like try to attack the officer, try to escape, use a knife, etc. so you need to overwhelm the subject with force and end the encounter as soon as possible. I am not saying that they are shooting the subject , they didn't shoot anyone in 10 years from what I know, they are deterring him from trying to do anything stupid. If 2 skinny cops knock on the door the subject might attack the cops or try to run, if 7 big, armed officers enter the room while the criminal is half asleep then he is not trying anything and he is captured in a safe manner for everyone.

DarkByte8··on Maryland nuclear engineer and spouse arrested on espionage-related charges
>This information was slowly and carefully collected over several years in the normal course of my job to avoid attracting attention and smuggled past security checkpoints a few pages at a time. I no longer have access to classified data so unfortunately cannot help you obtain other files.

All that excitement that he felt over the years every time he extracted a few pages or pictures of secret documents thinking one day he will have enough. All the preparation for the exchange and the text that he left in all the drops makes me believe that he did this for the adrenaline and money. Also if the speculations are true and the COUTNRY 1 is France I think in his mind he thought that he was not doing harm to USA by selling it to Russia or China and also gets to play spy and get away with some money. I wish I can see his face when he gets arrested.

DarkByte8··on Spy tech that followed kids home for remote learning
I think the kids should just refuse to wear the device or install the app. The parents want the kid to succeed have good grades, go to college, etc. if the parents can't be persuade by common sense and logic then the kid can leverage the success in order to persuade the parents to not require the app. What are the parents going to do, kick him out of the house and make him homeless? I know that it is easier said then done but still that is the only option I can think about.

DarkByte8··on Apple fires engineering manager for allegedly leaking information
kiwifarms is a forum where people laugh at other people usually internet famous people that make a fool of themselves on the internet. The rule is that you don't interact with the subject. There are a lot of people visiting the site and you can't control what everyone is doing but from the few threads that I have watch I did not see any call to harass or interact in any way with the subject.

Before posting a comment you see the forum guidelines that includes: "No trolling plans. We are not an autistic Illuminati. If you embarrass yourself or the forum trying to troll, we will ridicule you."

The subject of laughter is called a "cow" because it provides laughter i.e. "milk" through his/her action on the internet. The term cow is used regardless of gender, sex, age, etc.

DarkByte8··on Apple fires engineering manager for allegedly leaking information
https://www.ashleygjovik.com/ashleys-apple-story.html

July 2, 2021

In a heavy redacted email she was exposed to a substance and want to know "what chemicals & at what levels, for future cancer monitoring, etc." It made me curios what she was exposed too.

July 20, 2021.

Here I think she is accusing someone from apple of smuggling and "violating of the US embargo & sanctions against <redacted>" I assume is Iran by the length of the redacted text.

July 28, 2021.

She wants to transfer to ER and is refused 42 times. If she would have been transferred to ER she would have publish every complaint she investigated and used everything for here own lawsuit and her own cause.

July 29, 2021

Long email were she is unhappy with the investigation and what the conclusion of each investigation to be sorted by area of the law to route them to different lawyers. In the list we get toxic tort but no details.

I think any health issue that she will have in the future would result in a lawsuit against apple.

Aug 6th, 2021

Long list of articles were she was mentioned and tweets. She talks about Apple not doing exposure testing but nothing else regarding the chemicals.

August 14th 2021

Post a picture of a colleagues office with 5 bottles of alcohol and 3 bullet cases with the tip (the bullet) removed and 1 old musket ammunition. Not one of the items is live ammunition but she say it is live ammunition.

She took a picture of a colleague looking at a rifle specs. At this point it would not amaze me if she requested the colleague to show here the gun specs and took the picture and used it against him.

She complains that she is "constantly attacked" with Nerf guns and dodgeballs by here colleagues and mentions the rifle and bullets post trying to make a connection. She also says she has PTSD from past violence. She post a mail exchange were it is clear everyone is having fun even here but now she uses that to make a point of violence and danger.

"I do feel like it's me against three 13 year old boys a lot of the time. I think I just need to out mischief them - hide or boobytrap their toys maybe" - mail from the exchange with here boss. Sorry I don't see the PTSD inducing horrors in here email. In this email she understands that everything is a joke and even participates in the joke by wanting to set boobytraps on there toys. If we would apply the same logic that she apply then she is a domestic terrorist trying to set up IEDs at Apple.

She complains on twitter more about the nerf gun war but says nothing in the emails and even participates in the nerf gun war.

We find out that she has a "2015 - Assault & Battery" folder that she shared with Apple last month and she is furious that the ER team don't want to investigate anything before 2017.

For some reason she is challenging NorthropGrumman (3rd largest weapons manuf in the world)

She complains about physical safety and when here boss give here some good advice about physical safety she uses that against him.

Every interaction with here colleagues is used against Apple and said colleague.

Mr. Bullet -that what she called one of the guys had a ticket named "Make Ashley's Life a Living Hell" in 2015. I am amazed how she hold on to it for years and complained about it now.

So from 2015 until now, every interaction with here colleagues was documented and now it is used against them. Everything is overdramatized. If you would blur out Apple from here tweets you would think that she works for some drug cartel.

Then the activists will say that the company is problematic because they know about the discussion and don't take a stance on the issue.
