  • Because they’re distracting you with bullshite problems.

    For example, gay marriage. There’s a simple answer that appease everyone….. the government doesn’t regulate marriage, they regulate “civil unions”

    You just change all the official paperwork to call everyone’s “marriage” a civil union and let the people decide if they want to call it a marriage or not. Who the fuck cares?

    But no, they made it a culture war. “The gays are destroying society and they’re gonna make our kids gay” Vs “They are denying the gays marriage and next they’re going to start assassinating them”

    Left or right, they both crave power and are selling us out for it.

  • They’re telling you that these “private” spaces are allowing for child exploitation because it triggers exactly the thoughts you’re having now.

    “Oh I don’t want that, I guess I’ll give up my privacy”

    It’s an excuse. Apple had client side image scanning, cutting through ALL privacy. The program basically found 0 child porn images, but instantly that it existed, governments wanted to use it to censor images they didn’t like.

    It’s a lie, it always has been. “Won’t people please think of the children” has been used to create horrendous lies of policy since the beginning of time.

    You know what existed before these services? The same evil that existed after them.

    We can ban knives because a few people stab others with them, but ultimately if your goal is to stab someone, you’ll use what you have available. Perhaps a fork? And society will no longer have knives, but is that actually a reasonable answer? I mean there are no knives allowed in prisons, and they still make decent shanks .

    Killing privacy to solve child exploitation is just a nice lie they sell you to convince you that your privacy doesn’t matter. Facebook has zero privacy and it’s currently the biggest distributor of child porn. It’s a huge problem, and clearly the lack of privacy didn’t solve it like they said it would.

  • Then that’s likely your issue.

    Your router occasionally gives out the ip of your pihole to someone else, and everything shuts the bed.

    Try picking x.x.x.254 as the pihole address or x.x.x.2

    Often routers won’t use either the top end or low end of the available addresses.

    The machines on your network that are dhcp, do they go below 100? Do they go above 200?

    You’re going to be guessing a little here.

    What is your “net mask”

  • But still a profit. Just not as much of profit as last year.

    We are making money, but not as much money as I want. SMITHERS! Fire people randomly until I feel better about only making a few billion, instead of a hundred billion.

  • The problem is that so many site hyper-optimize for chrome. Add that to Google helping create web frameworks that seem to almost intentionally break Firefox and you get a de facto standard on chrome because ANYTHING else seems broken.

    Long live FF

  • Google also removes apps from the play store.

    Google developed it with the intention of releasing it, and willingly cooperating with the Chinese regime. While they didn’t end up going through with it, it wasn’t until the bad press in the USA pushed them to avoid releasing it. I think that’s fairly substantial proof that Google is more than willing to go along with the regime unless it directly hurts them.

    They didn’t forgo that much profit by leaving China because they were forced to leave China. Their current offerings in2010 were being pressed by Chinese authorities to do things and monitor/filter in ways that Google wasn’t capable of doing at the time. AI they spun it as “do no evil” when the reality is that they were being walked out by the Chinese anyways.

    Enter project dragonfly, aka “we still want that money and we don’t actually have a moral stand on this”

  • Google left China because they couldn’t comply with the government’s expectations.

    When they started building that prototype, they knew EXACTLY what the censorship requirements were and they didn’t give the slightest fuck. Why? Because money.

    Why build the prototype if they were taking a moral stand?
