100% of those are electricity wires.

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

They are telegraph wires. The style of the insulator and the uneven distribution are a dead giveaway.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 2 days ago

There would be no insulator for fiber or coax or cat3 lines..

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It's an old picture from actual telegraph lines.

[-] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago

Back in the day, telephone poles were used to carry telephone wires.

Is this the government efficiency I've been hearing so much about?

Between the reckless spending, stoping IRS from collecting income, and destroying manufacturing and exporting in America its just a matter of time until the country is bankrupt. I don't think they will make it half of his term before out of money with debt ceiling raised already.

The world no longer wants American goods.

¡Watch 'em all you want! My country wouldn't have extradited me before Trough, let alone now.

Too many doors yes, Fed-boys?

And use it properly. Read the damn guide. Silly teenagers have been caught making bomb threats despite using Tor (badly).

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

idk about you but I like the idea of people stupid enough to get caught making bomb threats getting caught

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

As if DARPA doesn't control 70% of the exit nodes...

[-] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

So what you're saying is you have zero clue how TOR works? Gotcha.

Now give me a reason I shouldn't block you.

[-] muusemuuse@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

People aren’t typically caught inside a darknet when they are accessing only things inside that darknet. They get caught when their traffic passes through a compromised node or when accessing external resources. You are much harder to track if you keep your darknet activities inside that darknet. In the case of Tor, you would typically be accessing .onion sites. If you are using tor to just hide where you are along to way then accessing something suspect on public internet, you are just drawing more attention to yourself.

In the case of i2p, most everything is inside the network. This limits its usefulness but prevents the most common way of identifying someone in a darknet from working at all.

Freenet im still learning more about but so far it looks like there are levels of secrecy there and the most common use case in freenet has been blow open by the feds. There’s another method that’s supposedly harder for them to track but I don’t know enough about freenet to speak on that yet.

Your username suits you.

This isn't me being sarcastic.

Fuck off.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 days ago

Lol war of terrorism more like it

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

In Canadian airports, departures to US have a section under US jurisdiction. People are asked to unlock their phones, and denied entry if they don't of if insufficiently enthusiastic comments about Trump are found on it. Praise Trump!!! Our new founding father, and bringer of the purge.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

More like war on free speech.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 9 points 3 days ago

THE POLICE PROBLEM

2908 readers

    The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.

    99.9999% of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct is never investigated, never punished, never makes the news, so it's not on this page.

    When cops are caught breaking the law, they're investigated by other cops. Details are kept quiet, the officers' names are withheld from public knowledge, and what info is eventually released is only what police choose to release — often nothing at all.

    When police are fired — which is all too rare — they leave with 'law enforcement experience' and can easily find work in another police department nearby. It's called "Wandering Cops."

    When police testify under oath, they lie so frequently that cops themselves have a joking term for it: "testilying." Yet it's almost unheard of for police to be punished or prosecuted for perjury.

    Cops can and do get away with lawlessness, because cops protect other cops. If they don't, they aren't cops for long.

    The legal doctrine of "qualified immunity" renders police officers invulnerable to lawsuits for almost anything they do. In practice, getting past 'qualified immunity' is so unlikely, it makes headlines when it happens.

    All this is a path to a police state.

    In a free society, police must always be under serious and skeptical public oversight, with non-cops and non-cronies in charge, issuing genuine punishment when warranted.

    Police who break the law must be prosecuted like anyone else, promptly fired if guilty, and barred from ever working in law-enforcement again.

    That's the solution.

Our definition of ‘cops’ is broad, and includes prison guards, probation officers, shitty DAs and judges, etc — anyone who has the authority to fuck over people’s lives, with minimal or no oversight.

RULES

Real-life decorum is expected. Please don't say things only a child or a jackass would say in person.

If you're here to support the police, you're trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent.

Saying ~~cops~~ ANYONE should be killed lowers the IQ in any conversation. They're about killing people; we're not.

Please don't dox or post calls for harassment, vigilantism, tar & feather attacks, etc.

Please also abide by the instance rules.

It you've been banned but don't know why, check the moderator's log. If you feel you didn't deserve it, hey, I'm new at this and maybe you're right. Send a cordial PM, for a second chance.
