get a vpn
I think it’s even more important to pipe up about i2p
If we’re making it more our own again, and harder for them to understand it we then as people regain our Internet.
They wanna play whack a mole with millions bring it on 😅
Comment on UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs
Alloi@lemmy.world 1 day ago
im assuming the idea is that a failing economy wants to instill puritanical bullshit like this because they think that young men and women will want to fuck each other more now that they cant masturbate as easily. and thus will increase the birthrate, which over time will stimulate the economy by having more low born wagies and soldiers to support and defend a dying status quo.
by formally giving your ID and biometrics for access to porn, you set yourself up down the line for legal blackmail if you ever try to resist, or become a personality of resistance in any way.
the elites have done this for years to one another, now, they want to create a system of manipulation where regular, normal pornography can be used as a tool of manipulation on the masses.
“oh, you think we shouldnt support israel? well thats a ironic coming from a degenerate deviant pervert who likes oiled up big booty latinas and stacked furry futa hentai”

are there any downsides like speed and connectivity?
or has all that been worked out since it’s been around since 2002 (and apparently I’ve never heard of it like Tot, which has its own drawbacks)?ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 12 hours ago
Obviously there’s not as many seeds for torrents as there is on the Clearnet, but recent uploads saw me getting reasonably decent speeds while some of the older torrents can take some time or be dead…just like the ones on the Clearnet.
There is something that while it doesn’t affect me here in the UK (yet…) there are issues with connectivity in certain dictatorships listed on their site

Try it out, there’s even an Android app which I never really used and only have i2p on my server at home. Reading the reviews it seems to be hit and miss on a phone, and I should really give it a try sometime.

This is really interesting, but I guess I don’t fully understand it. Does this replace your ISP (like Comcast for example), or am I just reconfiguring my browser to access these sites and not send my traffic through the regular Internet?

What AI had to say about it:
Yes, I2P (Invisible Internet Project) does require an internet service provider (ISP) for its functionality. While I2P is a decentralized network, it relies on your existing internet connection to function. You still need an ISP to connect to the internet and access I2P’s network.
I don’t really understand it either. Sounds like a series of tubes.
ladfrombrad@lemdro.id 19 hours ago
Nah, you run it over your existing ISP connection but set up an “i2p router” on a PC / laptop / server to connect to others on the i2p network.
Here’s a vid on some discussion about what it is

It’s kinda like Tor, but different, more secure from what I understand. You also can’t access normal internet sites while properly connected to i2p

Honestly that would seem like the most common sense idea that anyone would/could draw up from this, and for the most part I think this is what the gov is trying to do.
I think there’s an unstated side effect from the Online Safety Act which nobody seems to be talking about - using the new powers to effectively censor Palestinian protests online.

I’ve genuinely never felt so depressed about voting in this government in my entire life. Actual gross dystopian bullshit.

Yeah, I voted for Jezza but I saw this coming. While I wanted the Tories out, I couldn’t bring myself to vote for red Tories to replace them.
This is exactly the same shit they were pulling back in the Blair days.

Ok off topic, but why call Jeremy “Jezza”?
I already did a quick google because I don’t get it, but the explanation didn’t help. Obviously, Dave for David, Liz for Elizabeth, Mike for Michael, etc… make sense. But Jezza? For Jeremy?
Make it make sense.

You stop at the R and change if to a Z. Barry = Baz, Darren = Daz, Carol = Caz etc etc. Because British English is non robotic, it doesn’t work if we stop at the R (like USAians can say “Gar” for Gary) so the z sound gets used instead, because it’s pretty close.
Then the A gets added if you’re being extra friendly or cute, a bit like Michael > Mike > Mikey. Gareth becomes Gary becomes Gaz becomes Gazza.
Make sense?
