Nah, having to pay people to optimize software is nonsense, they will just sell more program streaming services

- Comment on He Built a Privacy Tool. Now He’s Going to Prison. 1 week ago:
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.

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?
- Comment on He Built a Privacy Tool. Now He’s Going to Prison. 1 week ago:
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 absolute no legal basis and kept it a secret, and when defense made a motion to dismiss it was denied by the judged without even being heard and the judge gave no reason for it. In front of an openly hostile judge and a trial that has no intention of following laws, he made a deal for 5 years in prison instead of 25 that 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.

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.

The map of space debris looks scary because each are displayed as the size of a country, while all together they would fit inside a single stadium.
- Comment on How can i legally buy a game for a child? 1 month ago:
If you want to be a goody two-shoes, buy the game, download the .exe, “lend” it to him - never play your GOG version while he is playing, you play make-believe it’s physical media without a copy, and just keep playing your Steam version.
However, if you read their Terms it’s actually legal for you to keep two copies of the game - like one on the device you are playing and another one somewhere else for backup. - Comment on Who was your first childhood videogame crush? 2 months ago:
