Short, concise and precise, pretty much gold standard for a title… everyone accusing of clickbait, what?

• yes, he is going to prison for building a privacy tool, I’m sorry that you have read actual clickbait titles before, but he was not charged with money laundering, he wasn’t even charged of being involved with any money laundering scheme, the sole reason he was arrested was for building a tool that can be used for illegal activity. Let’s hope they don’t go after the Tor Project and Tails OS with such claims too.
• yes, OP could have made a short description in the post like saying who, what tool, what charge, etc.

Guy basically made a Tor for crypto so transactions can’t be directly linked between users, and the government charged him with a bunch of bullshit claims and completely ignored the law to destroy it.
An openly hostile judge and prosecution making charges even though they were completely aware they had no legal basis, plus legal costs in the millions piling up, the guy pled guilty to “conspiracy” to money laundering (admitting he knew his tool could be used for that end, even though he didn’t take part in any of it) and took 5 years instead of the 25 years they wanted to give him.

If he was tried and lost, it would set a very dangerous precedent for every single privacy service… it’s funny how this idea of a product creator being responsible for its misuse never reaches the gun industry though…

What clickbait title did you read to believe he took part in any money laundering? He isn’t even being accused of that.

The phrasing of this title implies that the creation of a privacy tool is what the creator got arrested for

That’s LITERALLY what happened.

No, he wasn’t accused of using it for money laundering at all, he was actually accused of “conspiracy” to money laundering, claiming that his tool facilitates it, HOWEVER, the prosecution itself knew their charges had absolutely no legal basis and kept it a secret, and when the defense made a motion to dismiss it was denied by the judge without even being heard and the judge gave no reason for it (I guess being on record that the trial is a farce wouldn’t look good). In front of an openly hostile judge and a trial that has no intention of following laws, legal costs in the millions piling up, he made a deal for 5 years in prison instead of the 25 they were going to give him.

Again, he wasn’t even charged with money laundering, he was arrested for creating a tool that can be used for that. The title is telling the truth - therefore, it’s not malicious.

What is your definition of clickbait title? I consider clickbait misleading, misinforming or non-informing as clickbait, something like “He Built a Privacy Tool. You Won’t Believe What Happened Next.”

In this case here the title provides all the correct info about the video content - yes, he was arrested for building a privacy tool, he wasn’t charged for money laundering despite what real clickbait headlines might be saying.

I agree that OP could have post a summary with the video, but clickbait would be “He built a privacy tool, and you won’t believe what happened next” or something that doesn’t inform of the content of the video. Here it’s pretty clear, he built a privacy tool and was arrested for it, all the info is contained in the title.

Why the massive downvotes here? I think bitcoin is bullshit as much as the next lemming, but the whole situation you may cheer now because it’s a cryptobro getting fucked is what is going to happen to you tomorrow.

Summary: Guy basically made a Tor for crypto so transactions can’t be directly linked between users, and the government charged him with a bunch of bullshit claims and completely ignored the law to destroy it. Yeah, there is some PR stunt going on now with a presidential pardon, but that doesn’t mean the service is going back up.

In countries like mine, subjected to USA imperialism, USA puppets are already equating drug dealers to terrorists, and they also equate immigrants and refugees to drug dealers, so guess what?

If you visit the Tails website you are already put on a list of extremists, probably if you use Tor as well, it won’t be hard for any of the privacy tools you like to make you be called a terrorist too, Graphene is for criminals, isn’t it? We are just on whim away from a powerful asshole to decided that, because even if you believe you are “playing by the rules”, laws don’t matter. If it didn’t matter even for rich cryptobros trying to secure privacy for their users, imagine for you and your wishes of privacy?

Mozilla is a non-profit, but they are basically funded by Google in exchange for keeping it as their default search engine. Surely some group wants their AI to be Mozilla’s default and is showering them with money.

I wonder how long before someone says “Having to wait for security patches to be made only when new exploits are discovered is inefficient, we need an AI agent running all the time, inspecting every command, to respond immediately if an exploit is found.” and then they just stop security patches and you need that AI crap consuming ram and energy like hell while sending all your data to the mothership.

I absolutely disagree about unplayable

Oh, that code I said scored 6% (now 5% because the bar in seekbar is not counting), it’s code for a widget and it contains the css in it, and all the # in <style> are counting as comments - but they are id selectors.
I’m using characters for buttons, ⏸ and ⏭ count as emoji, ▶ doesn’t.

Oh yeah, and this last code is extremely flawed, I was having trouble with loading order because each page accessed by this menu should also load other scripts and sometimes it wasn’t working properly so I added a bunch of redundant stuff that I’d be embarrassed to show to an actual javascript developer. As I said, this was the least AI-made of the bunch, and how bad the code is should be proof humanity haha - even though I could hardly call it AI-assisted, it was AI-made and poorly human-edited.

So I tested a bunch of AI-made .js scripts I’m using, they are all kinda “modular”, AI didn’t write them all at once, I added more parts as I needed, and I kinda heavily edited and formatted them to my liking manually, but the code itself is like 95% to 99% AI, and they all scored 1%, the highest was 6% because it had “emoji” (which is stuff I added manually, and funny thing, a few days ago I tried using AI to check if the code looked AI-made and they pointed emoji as something that didn’t look like AI). Two scripts scored 0%…

However, one scored 100% and this one was the least AI-made of the scripts lol. Your tool basically complained about inline style (this code builds an ajax menu and as there would be different styles inside the same div and I wasn’t going to use it anywhere else I went for inline style, and when I used AI to create some html templates before, in my experience, AI didn’t like inline style at all, it would rather create a dozen of classes and ids and see which lines are using the same style to group them… I find it easier to just use inline). Again, it used “emoji” as an example that it was AI-made, but in this case I doubt AI would ever use it even on command, the “emoji” is actually one line using zalgo text and another with special characters like 🄾🄻🄳 🄼🄰🄽, I think it would need a very complex prompt to get AI to add those to a text inside a script successfully, imo this kinda stuff should count as not-AI-looking. So, another reason it scored 100% is because of the amount of “bar” mentioned, but in this case the menu is a sidebar, the script name is sidebar.js, so the name sidebar appears in various parts of the code and is a css class as well, and there is also a “seekbar” because the script also generates a music player… I don’t get why every time the word “bar” is used in any context it counts as AI-looking, because in this case those were 100% my name choices haha - as were all the other things pointed as AI-looking, so funnily enough, it was the human part of the code that made it score 100% AI in your tool, else it would probably score 1% like the others :P

I love seeing those videos about game making up until 5th and 6th gen, how creative developers were, managing console hardware capabilities to bypass limitations and find other ways to render faster, wider, more colors, or fit more stuff in less space, pushing the system to its limits… am I wrong, or is the modern game industry just about using an unoptimized engine to make games, not optimizing shit, releasing games that don’t get close to reaching the full hardware potential, and then releasing a next gen of hardware even though the next gen games would probably run even better 2 gens ago if devs had half of the talent and problem-solving skills of past devs?

In my country movies like Predator were on over-the-air TV in the afternoon and any kid any age could watch, I grew up thinking those movies were like “PG-10” or something - and I’m shocked the rest of the world think they are for adults.

Last month it was about 50 movies and it was a high number - I also don’t download horror or Hallmark-like stuff.

Late 90s/early 00s kids with unsupervised internet access would challenge each other to watch videos from Rotten and Ogrish, and they are all fine

Manually. There is this group I follow, every end of the month I check what they uploaded throughout the month (their posts have the IMDB score).

I pirate monthly every IMDB 6+ movie and series that got dubs in my language and send an HDD to my father, who only has a cheap cellphone internet plan.

Destroying aircraft seems like a very ecofriendly thing to do, same as killing humans
