+title: All browsers suck, and it's all YOUR fault!

+----
+Clickbait, except it's not.\
+The "YOU" part can literally refer to you, regardless of who you are.\
+Let me explain.
+
+## Browser makers
+
+Browser devs are at fault for all giving up on their own browser engines in favor for becoming basically a Chromium (including QtWebEngine) skin.\
+That's not the only camp, but still the biggest.\
+The other 2 alternatives are [Crapple](/glossary#crapple)'s WebKit (or WebKitGTK from Gnome), which is what [Goolag](/glossary#goolag) was made out of, or [Cuckzilla](/glossary#cuckzilla)'s Gecko, which gets over 90% funded by Goolag.\
+The only alternatives to these 3 left are Pale Meme (which too has mountains of problems like hating Tor, websoyte being [Cuckflared](/glossary#cuckflare), among other stuff), Netsurf which is still far from ready, Dillo which can't display many websoytes which I'll get into in a moment, w3m/Links/Lynx which are all terminal-based browsers and thus suffer from similar problems as Netsurf and Dillo, Bombadillo and Lagrange which aren't made to display HTTP but they display Gemini instead, and a bunch of dual/triple engine browsers (usually Trident and WebKit, sometimes Gecko too) all made by Chinese glowies.
+
+## Soydevs
+
+The other part of the blame puzzle are the [soydevs](/glossary#soydev) which made everything work exclusively with Chromium only, and in addition makes it next to impossible to use [their stuff](/glossary#microshaft) without being [in the crosshairs](/glossary#mafiaa) of the [glowniggers](/glossary#cuckflare) at [all times](/glossary#cuckcuckgo).\
+As a result, many websites won't work on any already terrible alternatives, and very many more won't work on all the actually good alternatives.\
+This website will work fine on Netsurf, Dillo, and Lynx (I verified it myself, they won't get displayed 100% as intended, but at least it's readable and loads quickly in all 3 of them), but the big reason is because my site is made in XHTML 1.1, which is seemingly a skill that's ultra rare these days.\
+HTML5 comes with nice goodies, but they're not made by those who define web standards (W3C, even they are Cuckflared these days kamidamnit!), they're made by [Big Tech](/scams/bigtech) (WHATWG, quite a conspiracy right?).
+
+## You the user
+
+Of course nobody wants to point a finger at themselves, but yes, YOU the consoomer are at fault as well.\
+Not only you're the one using the stuff that destroys the internet, you love it too.\
+And as long as you keep enslaving yourself, the walls built around you will be made taller and taller.\
+All of this leads to a situation where we will need ID in order to log online, it's all possible through centralization.
+
+## Solutions
+
+The best we can do to push back is by making 90's style websites again on custom infrastructure, over Tor, make our own browsers and engines (or otherwise make things work on non-major browsers like Dillo, Netsurf, and Lynx), and all that.\
+Let's turn our clocks back to the 80's and 90's when we still had tech freedom, actually good games, and actually open internet.\
+Set up a Fediverse instance or a few to still maintain current year tech with old tech vibes.\
+Learn how to make stuff with XHTML 1.1 and CSS instead of relying entirely on JavaScript.\
+Try to host your stuff outside of Cuckflare and AWS, preferrably on an older PC over Tor and I2P (and static IPv4 addresses if you have to host on the clearnet).\
+Learn to host files locally instead of depending yourself on CDNs.\
+And most importantly, throw away your smartphones, or otherwise keep them at home at all times, but limit its use for only brief moments and use a PC for all else.
+
+The true way to fight against centralization is to decentralize everything.

+title: Don't downgrade, just switch to something better

+----
+One thing I noticed among WinDOS users for a very long time is, every time the latest version is considered to be bad, they're looking left and right for ways to downgrade to the last version they considered to be good.\
+When WinDOS Swista came out, I just couldn't get in any computer store in Akihabara without people asking to downgrade their recently bought PC to WinDOS XP.\
+When WinDOS 7 came out, they stopped asking that question.\
+But then WinDOS 8 came out, and later on 8.1 and 10, and they started asking for a way to downgrade to 7 from 8, 8.1, and 10, until 7 died.
+
+Now that WinDOS 10 and 11 are the only versions in support, now your average WinDOS user acts like if they're sucking on a massive black pill, as they seem to think the only options they have are either the dystopian nightmare that is WinDOS 10 that seemingly couldn't get even more dystopian, or the cyberpunk dystopian hellhole that is WinDOS 11 that proudly yells at 10-san "HOLD MY WHIP, YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN!!".\
+And recently I've been seeing a similar trend with Ubuntu and CentOS users, Ubuntu people refuse to upgrade (more like downgrade) from 20.04 LTS to 22.04 LTS, and CentOS users prefer to stay on version 7 to not use version 8, even though Alma Linux came in to basically take it over from CentOS.
+
+Meanwhile, as a Linux user from a very young age that has used so many different distro's before, I'm like come on man, there's plenty of alternatives to choose from, no need to stay with WinDOS (or older versions of Ubuntu or CentOS)!\
+At this point, staying with WinDOS and refusing to upgrade is like wanting to stay with the current slave master, because the other slave master is even more abusive, all while you're given plenty of options to just break your chains and be free whenever you want.
+
+So my advise from a Unix perspective is, don't refuse to be put in a worse prison cell by staying in your current prison cell, just break the windows of that prison cell, get the fuck out of there, and discover that once you're done biting the sour apple by breaking through the windows and smashing green robots out of order, the world of penguins, devils, blowfishes, and buffelo's is so much more beautiful and liberating at the same time.\
+Aside from animals, we also have blue and green triangles, orange flags, boomerangs, a pink whirlpool, and silver-ish fish (or whatever the fuck the Gentoo logo represents) and many more all on blue mountain tops waiting for you to becoming their new fren.\
+And yes, we also have memes and loli's.

+title: Flat earth? Round earth? Do these exist? And why do they keep reusing it?
+author: 寮

+tags: blog,conspiracy,earth
+threadid: ALS8AGoyvjG8LYxtxo
+----
+Until 110 years ago, nobody gave a fuck about the shape of the earth, it's just land we walk on after all.\
+110 years ago they all of the sudden did care, and Hollywood conditioned you to believe that the earth is round, but it hasn't been popularized until the fake moon landing (which by the way was clear as day that it was faked) in the 1960's, which also popularized space all the way until the mid-2000's.\
+It wasn't until 2017 that the flat earth theory started getting attention, before that it was just a prank in western animation, or otherwise former hippies that work as school teachers nowadays that tell you how stupid the people of the past were to believe that the earth is flat.
+
+Before you tell me "HA! Ryo-chan is a flatearther!! LULZ!!", I'm not.\
+Actually, I don't support either of the 2 models, and I believe that the shape of the earth is pretty much irrelevant to 99.99999% of the human population.\
+There are however elements I agree on with flatearthers, like how I flew on intercontinental flights a lot in the past, I was even lucky enough to have flown over the North Pole during night time during both summer and winter.\
+During summer it's always daytime, and during winter it's always nighttime, and either way I noticed perfectly flat snowlands while watching out of the window (and I often had a seat near a window facing the North Pole by the way).\
+Both times I noticed white on the bottom and black on the top with the sun in the black zone.\
+The only difference between summer and winter was that during the summer you'd still see some blue inbetween the 2.
+
+However, did you notice that the flat earth is being inserted into every single alternative narrative since 2017?
+
+* The Clintons were involved in pizzagate, speaking of pizza, the earth is flat.
+* The deep state is going to take over the world, and Trump and Jesus are here to save us all. They're also hiding the fact that the earth is flat.
+* The coronavirus is a hoax. By the way, the earth is also flat.
+* Trump will be re-instated as the president by this January/Feburary/March/April/May/June/July/August/September/October/November/December. And the earth is flat.
+* The lethal injections can be spread through shedding. Oh, and the earth is flat.
+* The Kanadian truckers and Dutch farmers are mad. But let's not forget that the earth is flat.
+
+And on and on.
+
+If you're wondering, I believe that neither the flat earth nor the round earth model is correct.\
+The flatearthers are correct when they say that the earth is not round, but then they fall short when their 2D-oriented brains start to get involved, and go like "so by default, that means the earth is flat".
+
+I actually believe the earth is very different from what we're allowed to even know.\
+Bigger with land that's unknown to us.\
+I've seen multiple possibilities, and I'll show you each one of them.\
+But let's start with the most mainstream ones, the round earth and flat earth models.
+
+## Round earth
+
+![](roundearth1.jpg)\
+![](roundearth2.jpg)
+
+The most mainstream one is so complex, I had to put up 2 different versions to show what I mean.
+
+## Flat earth
+
+![](flatearth.png)
+
+There are many different versions, but this is the most accepted one, including by the United Nations ([notice their logo](https://www.un.org/en/ga/)).
+
+## 2 globes
+
+![](2globes.png)
+
+Not sure if that's how you call it or not, but this is the earth the ancients have made, with the America's being separated into a completely different realm from the rest of the world (by the way, where's Ausjailia and New Xiland?).\
+Though it could as well be a hoax, because as how Napoleon famously said it, history is a bunch of lies agreed upon.\
+And as we all know from historical examples, history is only written by the victors.
+
+## Moon mirror
+
+![](moonmirror.png)
+
+As the name implies, some say that the moon is a reflection of the earth as a screenshot made at one point in time.\
+Many debunked that idea because of the extra land between Asia and America, though it has been proven that there's an entire sunken continent at the bottom of the pacific ocean, and it could be that Hawaii is basically like in the Wind Waker where Hyrule was put under water, and the only remaining land are former mountain tops.\
+The Zelda franchise was made by Freemasons, so of course they will know.
+
+They say that time is divided into 12 era's, and the earth will shift its sun and moon cycle once every 2100 or so years in a clockwise direction, which basically explains the whole "climate change" bullshit, because the sun and moon shifting cycling position will of course affect the climate, like putting Argentina, New Xiland and Ausjailia into the frozen abyss, turning Europe into basically the North Pole, North America and most of Asia into subtropical, and Africa into European climate, as well as unfolding new a bit of new land we don't even know about.\
+If you watch the Ice Age Farmer and Adapt 2030 channels, they talk about how Africa and Ukraina will become so green that you can produce lots of food there by 2030, so there is quite an overlap.
+
+## Extended universe
+
+![](extendeduniverse1.jpg)\
+![](extendeduniverse2.jpg)
+
+This comes the closest to what I believe is the truth, not entirely, but still better than any of the above.\
+I'm more in line with the 1st one, but since we don't know what's truly going on beyond Antarctica/Ice Wall, I included both for speculation purposes.
+
+## Multiverse
+
+![](multiverse.png)
+
+I've seen this one in Maid Dragon, so basically the earth is a giant tree with multiple earths stapled on one other.\
+Of course I know it's from an animation, so it shouldn't be taken too seriously, but it's still cool as a mention nonetheless.
+
+## Minecraft
+
+![](minecraft.jpg)
+
+This is just a joke.\
+After all, we're living in a big 3D video game, the best video game ever made, the very best, it's terrific.

+In the Linux space we see this every single day, WinDOS and macOS users wanting to switch to Linux, then they find it's too difficult, and so they ragequit.\
+And me as a life long Linux user, I had the exact same thing when using WinDOS and macOS for the first time, I too found these too difficult and ragequitted.\
+Then I saw a video on [Luke Smith](https://video.076.ne.jp/c/luke_channel@videos.lukesmith.xyz/videos?s=1)'s channel (I can't remember which one, but I think he mentioned it multiple times), and then it started to make sense.\
+Basically, the work flow in a free software environment is just radically different from the work flow in a proprietary soyware environment.
+
+In chad Linux and chad BSD, we use a box of smaller tools being excellent in the 1 thing they're designed to do, which all work seemlessly together with one other.\
+In virgin WinDOS and virgin macOS, they use a single space ship that does all sorts of things from within 1 platform.\
+It's convenient to have everything in 1 platform, the tradeoffs are that your safety is being compremised, you're enslaved to an EULA, you have no idea how the world behind that walled garden is like, and it's easy to get lost if you're new to that platform.
+
+Linux users would be using Neovim for text editing, Git for version control, rsync for publishing the outputted files to the server, make corrections using "sed", find the right files with "find", find the contents of a file with "grep", create files with "touch", create folders with "mkdir", delete these with "rm" and "rmdir" respectively (or otherwise "rm -rf" works for both), and so on.\
+Meanwhile, WinDOS users would use Visual Studio and do all of the above from within that single platform.
+
+To make the explanation more normie friendly, if you were a plummer wearing red/blue clothes, jumping through many pipes to save the princess, killing shitage mushrooms and turtles, and eating red mushrooms and flowers along the way, if you were using chad Linux or chad BSD, your toolkit would look like this:\

+----
+The other day I got some overseas friend of mine crying about how "hackers" have "hacked" his rental company's servers and got away with his personal information, and is really worried about them making weird bank transactions in his name.
+
+First off, let me put some homo's straight:\
+They're not hackers, they're crackers.\
+However, "cracker" sounds much more drugs related than IT related, so let's call them "cyber criminals".\
+Maybe it's too long, so let's call them "cycrims".\
+So from now on I'll refer them to "cycrims", which is what normies would call "hackers".\
+Hackers are never interested in your personal information, all we hackers care about is developing software, and doing it right, m'kay.
+
+Likewise, the company didn't get "hacked", they got compromised.\
+The sentence "The rental company got hacked" is as non-sensticle as the sentence "CovAIDS closed the world down", "Communists are anarchists", or "The gun has killed Abe".\
+CovAIDS didn't close the world down, the government did.\
+Communists aren't anarchists, they're tyrants.\
+The gun didn't kill Abe, the guy pulling the trigger on that gun killed Abe.\
+Also, the programmers didn't program the rental company, the cycrims found a volunability in the system of that rental company and made use of it.
+
+Also, it's not **your** rental company, you're merely a customer of that rental company.\
+You don't own it!
+
+With that out of the way, next time you cry about cycrims getting your personal information, consider the following:\
+You're having a tracking device called a "smartphone" with you at all times, it has all sorts of antenna's and other components that make stealing your personal information possible 24/7.\
+You most likely visit websoytes made in over the top bloated JS frameworks (yes, multiple!), that spam you with all kinds of ads and trackers, that are hosted on AWS servers, that are behind Cuckflare, that spam you with "ACCEPT MY COOKIES OR ELSE!!" popups, fingerprinting, and so on wherever you go.\
+And if you at least put a bit of work to mitigate these problems, you're additionally getting confronted with either a "we're checking your browser" page, a "access denied because you're a spambot" page, or "please solve this captcha in order to enter the soyte" page, plus broken web elements, broken pages or completely blank pages, even more captcha's, and so on on an every day (or even every minute) basis.\
+And if you're a smartphone user (which you really shouldn't be if you're smart), you probably have Fakebook, WhatsApp, LINE, WeChat, Telegram, Signal, Shitter, JewTube, LBRY, Discucked, Slack, Zoom, Goolag Maps, Goolag Translate, Siri/Goolag ASSistant, OneNote, Goolag Drive or OneDrive or iCloud, SnapChat, TikTok, Vkontakte, Skype, and many other spyware apps you really shouldn't use to begin with, along with apps for your bank account and multiple government apps which shouldn't exist at all.\
+And if you're a PC user, you probably know people who are running WinDOS, macOS, or Chrome OS (I don't ASSume anyone viewing this site to be on any of these 3 OSs anyway, I don't know because I run 0 trackers here), and might have Steam installed as well as all the desktop versions of the apps and/or browser versions of these, which are additional spyware.
+
+And at times you're not using technology, consider the CCTV camera's, facial recognition camera's, hidden camera's, speeding camera's, camera's on or near traffic lights, all the luxery in your car, camera's in the train, anti-theft gaytes, glowies hiding behind trees, random strangers taking pictures which then accidentally include you into that shot and then put it on SNS, your ID card, your bank/credit/debit card, your drivers loycense, your hell insurance card, and so on and so forth.\
+The glowniggers and tech companies know far more about you than any cycrim would ever dream of.
+
+So next time you freak out about cycrims stealing your personal information, keep in mind that there are even more dangerous entities you don't even give a fuck about that can do far more harm to you than the cycrims.

+Yes, you heard me right, left wing wokies are not the only ones I hate, I equally hate the right wing puritans.\
+In fact, there's no difference between the 2 when it comes to artwork.
+
+Just look at this, it's so cute!\
+![](FXX8UkDVUAIXA-t.jpg)\
+![](98737866_p0.png)
+
+At least, us libertarian right (the anarchists) people will find this cute.\
+According to the authoritarian right (so the puritans), this is either degeneracy, or pedophile, or both, and therefore you should be jailed for looking at it.\
+Because they have no idea how to distinguish fiction from reality, or 2D from 3D (or 2D from 5D if you're talking about the New Age/Qanon believers).
+
+According to the libertarian left (the trannies), this is (somehow) transphobia, and therefore should be censored (to the point not a single pixel of the art can be seen).\
+And according to the authoritarian left (the communists/fascists), this is either racist or sexist or misogeny or transphobia or covAIDS/climatechange/whatever denialism or white supremacy or whatever else comes out from their random victim word generator, and therefore needs to be cancelled.
+
+The Anglosphere (especially Americucks and Ausjailians) is singlehandedly responsible for censorship.\
+Lolicon is ALWAYS the first victim of censorship, we've seen this on every single big tech platform, alt tech platform, and even westerner-owned Fediverse instance (except ones owned by libertarians).\
+And censorship is the cancer that keeps on growing and spreading into all other things, which is why I'm in full support of initiatives like [Onionket](https://onioncomic.market/) which is basically the free market version of [Comiket](https://www.comiket.co.jp/), and at [076](https://076.moe) we're already developing a freedom version of Pixiv and Nico Nico Douga, more about these coming soon.\
+So the battle against censorship is being faught, and we really need your help, because we can't do it alone.\
+You can help us in this battle by [donating with Monero](https://076.moe/support/monero/) and supporting individual creators during Onionket using their preferred payment methods.\
+Beneath this page you'll find my Monero address, if you write a comment saying it's for fighting censorship, I'll immediately forward half of this to 076, and save up the other half to donate to creators during Onionket (if they support Monero though).

+A few months ago, I decided to distrust ([Furryfox](https://kill-9.xyz/guides/distrust_cloudflare), [Chromium](https://kill-9.xyz/guides/distrust_cloudflare_chromium)) all [Cuckflare](/glossary#cuckflare) certificates, but this became such a hurdle to browsing the internet, I undid the distrust 5 days later.\
+Recently I gave the distrust thing another try, and things have gotten even worse!
+
+Like yesterday I wanted to test whether I could use the Lynx browser over Tor + VPN (so both!), so I went to Searx, searched for "my ip", almost every single result was Cuckflared.\
+It was so bad, the only 2 that weren't were 1 VPN service, and 1 Russian IP info website.\
+But beyond that, every single one of them was Cuckflared.
+
+Ealier that same day, I was comparing documentation of as many programming languages as possible (specifically, C (via GNU), C++, C#, Java, PHP, Perl, Go, Ruby, Crystal, Python, Lua, Kotlin, Swift, RISC-V ASSembly (via Github), Intel ASSembly, ARM ASSembly), of which only GNU and Lua were 100% clean websites.\
+Perl and Intel ASSembly were using CDNs over Cuckflare, but while it didn't matter with Intel as much, Perl showed up with a pretty broken looking navbar, but otherwise both sites were still entirely usable.
+
+It's even worse with game engines/libraries, now that Unity is working together with a literal malware distributor, my gamedev friends on the Fediverse were looking for alternatives.\
+Godot was the best alternative when it comes to engines, it's Cuckflared.\
+Alternatively there's Love2D, also Cuckflared.\
+So all we have left are libraries, which are SDL, (C)SFML, and Raylib.
+
+I also noticed that Nintendo.com (though only the EC part) is Cuckflared, and so is all of Microshaft, which a few months ago still weren't.\
+I was praising Big Tech for not using Cuckflare, but seems like even they will eventually bend the knee.
+
+One positive change I noticed is that the PeerTube instance DollarVigilante.tv (which was Cuckflared) got changed to Vigilante.tv, and they decided not to go behind Cuckflare this time.\
+So that's great to see.
+
+But apart from that, I can't see a bright future for the clearnet.\
+All the crypto-focussed websoytes, whether it be informational soytes, or exchanges, or wallet developers, or blockchain ANALysis, literally all of them are Cuckflared.\
+Even the official soyte of Monero is not Cuckflared, which is hillarious considering that by that they're basically saying "in order to have financial privacy, you must get yourself through our Big Brother surveilled websoyte first".\
+But luckily they have an [Onion mirror](http://monerotoruzizulg5ttgat2emf4d6fbmiea25detrmmy7erypseyteyd.onion/), which I think you should rather use instead.
+
+So yea, the clearnet is as good as dead at this point.\
+Don't rely on Web3, it's a scam anyway, and even if it wasn't, it's primarily developed by either Big Tech, or supporters of Cuckflare.\
+The best is to turn to darknet (Tor and I2P), loli frog recently made a guide for Japanese speakers, which can be found [here](https://technicalsuwako.moe/blog/darknet-1-tor-access-way/) and [here](https://technicalsuwako.moe/blog/darknet-2-i2p-access-way/).\
+Due to the fact that Cuckflare outright blocks Tor users, it can't exist on the darknet.\
+However, there are idiots who still try, like the Onion mirror for archive.is/archive.ph, which is Cuckflared, so it's literally inaccessible to everyone.\
+Therefore, if you want a good internet, there already are options out there to explore, which is the darknet (Tor and I2P), as well as Gemini (and Gopher, but that one is old and unmaintained), which is why I believe these will be the future of the internet, not the clearnet, and certainly not Web3.
+
+Technology has its roots in being free and open, and free and open alternatives always tend to pop up the moment the mainstream one becomes nonfree and locked down.\
+The reason why Web3 will fail is exactly because of its nonfree and locked down nature, but it's developed by the very same people who locked down technology in the first place, and investors with no tech literacy whatsoever.\
+Successful technology can't be developed without tech savvy people, and no highly skilled tech savvy person will work on a project that won't respect user freedom, none will work on a project that requires them (us) to jump through many hoops just to join the project.
+
+This blog started as darknet-only, and is now temporarily clearnet-only because my darknet server is down, which I won't be able to access until autumn.\
+So once I fix that server, I'll be primarily on the darknet again, I'll perhaps keep the clearnet version around, but as a mirror rather than the main place.

+In fact, cracking down on piracy is exactly what [results](https://torrentfreak.com/netflix-blockade-boosted-piracy-searches-research-finds-200716/) [in](https://torrentfreak.com/friends-leaving-netflix-caused-a-piracy-spike-in-the-netherlands-220227/) an [undesired](https://torrentfreak.com/fragmented-streaming-landscape-keeps-piracy-relevant-research-suggests-190613/) [outcome](https://torrentfreak.com/french-anti-piracy-law-decreased-music-consumption-variety-research-suggests-191215/).\
+Despite all the efforts to wake them up to this reality, the [MAFIAA](/glossary#mafiaa) continues singlehandedly destroying the internet even harder than all governments combined have ever been able to do.\
+The common reasons why people pirate are one or more of the following:
+
+1. Your product might be so good that fans can't wait to get their hands on it, but the problem is that they're broke (too young for a job and takes months to collect the money needed to buy your stuff, adults that got laid off and thus have not enough money to buy your stuff, and so on), implementing anti-piracy measures won't magically make money needed to buy your product appear in their wallets. And when those people get a job at a later time, or get some other way to get the money needed to buy your product, they'll happily buy your product weeks, months, or even years after having pirated it.
+2. If your product is bad, and it still makes its way to torrent sites, pirates will be like "EWWW!! Who the fuck would even want to pirate that shit!?", and thus your product might only have been profitable thanks to piracy, because pirates would be the only ones willing to buy your product.
+3. Even if your product is awesome, people pirate exactly because you put so much effort into anti-piracy which at one point becomes so much of a hurdle, that people will naturally resort to piracy, because they get a version that's easier to use for free. Would you seriously pay for a product that would then wrongfully accuse you of piracy, lock you behind a serial code that might not even work because a keygen executable on somebody else's computer on the other side of the world might have guessed that code before you bought it, or [install literal malware onto your computer](https://wikiless.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal) just to make absolutely sure you didn't get it from The Pirate Bay or Nyaa!?
+4. This is especially a common one in current year, and that's the cancer called censorship. Not only does buying products "legally" cost more and more money than ever (a 2000 yen Game Boy Color game vs a whopping 12000 yen Nintendo Switch game), they usually come with blatant censorship too. Nobody in their right mind would buy a game with big boob characters in them only to NOT being able to see them. Pirates know this very well, and remove the censorship by default in many cases. So why the fuck should I pay 12000 yen for a censored version of a game while I can get the superior uncensored version for free!?
+5. This is a common one among the Linux gamers. Most games are still WinDOS only, and sometimes WinDOS and macOS only, and occasionally only for WinDOS, macOS, Android, and iOS (so proprietary peasant OS only). So we need to use Wine or Proton in order to play along. However, DRM (which is malware) is the cancer that always gets in the way, and sometimes we see other measures being made to lock out Linux users who have paid the full price for the game in question. As already explained in other points, pirates tend to remove DRM (which is malware) and the other measures, so even though Linux users are by far [the most willing to pay for software](https://opensource.com/life/11/4/linux-users-willing-pay-more-humble-frozenbyte-bundle-others), ([more evidence](https://web.archive.org/web/20211027104824/https://www.compoundtheory.com/some-arguments-against-linux-users-dont-pay-for-software/), archived because the original soyte is empty when Javascript is disabled, [and a funny one just for the laughs](http://web.archive.org/web/20220712192431/https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/help-willing-to-pay-486905/)), we're forced to resort to piracy because corporations apparently don't want money from free software master race chads.
+
+To break down, number 1 can be seen as a way to get an unofficial trial version so you get to see whether it's worth the support or not without being restricted.\
+It might come over as "but that's like stealing a car and then paying for that same car in cash after you've got the money", and it does.\
+But if you as the creator of that product refuse to give a trial version, or otherwise give a trial version that doesn't represent the actual product at all, then people will take matters in their own hands.\
+In fact, there is even an example of an [indie game developer](https://www.pcgamer.com/indie-game-dev-sees-big-boost-in-sales-after-he-uploads-it-to-the-pirate-bay/) uploading a pirated copy of their own game to The Pirate Bay, and from the next day onward their sales skyrocketed by 400%, because these developers know full well they've made something awesome, and they understand that if you give people a way to try the full game out for free, they will give you money out of support.
+
+Number 2 is pretty straightforward.\
+A shit product can be smelled from the very first public announcement, and the only people willing to buy your product will be the pirates, because they do need to get a copy somehow in order to pirate it.\
+Not a single consoomer will otherwise want your product, so all your profit will come from the very people you're chasing away with pitchforks and burning sticks.
+
+Number 3 is the direct result of putting in so many anti-piracy measures that you're becoming absolutely hostile to your own consoomers.\
+Of course if I'd find out that you're installing malware on my 300,000 yen gaming PC, then I sure as fuck will refuse to pay you any money, and sail the 7 seas guilt free instead!
+
+Number 4 speaks for itself, not a single fan of a product wants to have a censored version of something that could have been released uncensored by default (so that means literally everything).\
+If you want to have my money, then you better leave the big boobs and/or loli characters in their uncensored state, this includes uncensored genetilia!\
+Any kind of censorship, no matter how justified, is subject to piracy in my book.\
+The only exception I can make is if you make it easy to uncensor through software modding and you won't stop us in doing so.\
+And bonus points if you endorse that and stick to that, then I'll go ahead and buy multiple copies!
+
+And number 5 is again very straightforward.\
+If you stop me from using a product I paid for only because I refuse to install a botnet OS on my PC, then I'll demand a refund, and will never buy any of your stuff ever again, and resort to piracy instead.
+
+At the end of the day, nobody wants to be stopped from running your products, and nobody likes restrictions.\
+Real fans of your products are ready to pay, but once you get too hostile to them, they'll go away and find some other creator that's much nicer to them instead.\
+So if you want to make a profit, the solution is simple:
+
+1. Provide a free trial version that actually represents the product you're selling, and be upfront with your customers.
+2. Make good products, nobody wants to support a quick cashgrab, especially if it's a live services, [whatever as a Service](/scams/whateverasaservice/)™, and kami-sama forbid always online.
+3. Calm down on your anti-piracy efforts. No need to hate millions of legit customers just to catch 4 or so pirates in the act.
+4. Release your stuff uncensored. Fuck the artificial "laws", it's part of the matrix, it's not real! And if the platform owner demands censorship, then either dump them and sell to customers directly (like how we used to do back in the 80's and 90's), or go ahead and release the censored version, and officially provide an uncensored version, and maybe even put instructions in plain sight on how to obtain an uncensored version in your product on boot up (or in the introduction in the case of books). Or files needed to uncensor the censored version, that's another option you can take.
+5. Don't discriminate users based on the operating system they're running. It's OK to not provide official support, as a developer I fully understand that, but don't use that as an excuse to blanket ban an entire audience.

+As a freelancer, job interviews are extremely common to me, I'm having job interviews multiple times a month (because I typically get projects done between 1 day and 1 week) which I have to get through before being allowed to [took ther jurbs](https://youtube.076.ne.jp/watch?v=N-kgb1QtSnU).\
+Every time I apply for a PHP project to work on, immediately the first question is "Which frameworks do you use?", implying that it's literally impossible to make shit in PHP without a framework.\
+But never do they ask any technical questions to test my knowledge of PHP and/or any of these frameworks.
+
+So once I realized that, I switched from "I don't use any frameworks, because I'm much more productive without those" (my honest answer) to "I currently use Laravel and CakePHP, I used to use Zend Framework and Symphony in the past, but I get my job done in Laravel and CakePHP much quicker" (a big fat lie, and sometimes I have to change the position of these frameworks depending on what the job posting is asking for).\
+The reason is, HR doesn't give a fuck about how well you can do your job, they only care about whether your thoughts and CV match with what they want to hear or not.\
+Once I get through the interview process, I just use vanilla PHP anyway, and only reveal to them that I didn't use a framework after the fact.\
+And very often they not only get positively surprised by how easy it is to deploy the final product, how much more scalable it is than older projects done in frameworks, and how quickly I made stuff, they're very happy to call me up for more projects in the near future too.
+
+So yea, stop asking developers about frameworks, I seriously want to answer honestly and not resort to bullshit just to be able to put food on the table!

+title: If you truly care about privacy and/or anonymity, stop recommending smartphones

+----
+It's way too common especially among the [JewTube](/glossary#jewtube)rs who are mirroring their content to [Opussy](/glossary#opussy) to recommend certain smartphones or custom ROMs for privacy.\
+That they seemingly fail to understand is that phones aren't private, no matter how private you make them.\
+This led me to stop following Rob Braxman, he's basically fighting a war he can't win.
+
+## What makes smartphones so dangerous?
+
+4 things: microphone, camera, SIM card, and wireless antenna's.\
+Removing all 4 of them would effectively turn your phone into a stationary PDA.\
+It's pretty cute when people put tape on their 1 and only laptop camera to stop outsiders from spying on them, but those same people to absolutely nothing about the billions of cameras that's present on their 1 phone.
+
+Desktops are still the safest, as they never come with a camera and microphone, so you have to buy separate ones, and to prevent spying is simply a matter of unplugging their cables, and most desktops (I mean the custom built ones) have no WiFi or Bluetooth module, you can add them in if you want, but they probably won't have them by default, though those made by brands and shipped to you will have them.
+
+However, good luck carrying around a desktop to wherever you go, and working on a project at a Starbucks or Dotour.\
+I know, it's a soy meme, but it really does help with productivity to be somewhere outside of your home.
+
+When it comes to laptops, there are the consoomer toys, which are basically iPads with WinDOS, an undetachable keyboard, and no touch screen, and there are the business class laptops, which are still real computers ([though that seems to be on the chopping block too](https://www.techradar.com/news/some-lenovo-ryzen-laptops-are-now-only-running-windows)).
+
+Let's look at the table to see what I mean:
+
+|             | Gaming desktop | Branded desktop | Business laptop | Consumer laptop | Smartphone           |
+| ----------- | -------------- | --------------- | --------------- | --------------- | -------------------- |
+| Camera      | None           | None            | None or 1       | 1               | Between 2 and 10,000 |
+| Microphone  | None           | Maybe           | None or 1       | 1               | 1 or more            |
+| WiFi        | No             | Yes             | Yes             | Yes             | Yes                  |
+| Bluetooth   | No             | Yes             | Maybe           | Yes             | Yes                  |
+| SIM card    | No             | No              | Maybe           | Maybe           | Yes                  |
+| NFC/FeliCa  | No             | No              | No              | No              | Yes                  |
+
+I deliberately excluded tablets, because they're basically large smartphones without core phone features anyway.\
+The other problems with smartphones are that they're usually locked down so hard, you can't easily repair them yourself, and even if you've installed GrapheneOS or CalyxOS, you might have mitigated the problems on the software level, all of the hardware level problems are still there, and nobody knows if they're still spying on you or not, or whether glowniggers are sniffing the phone's antennas near your physical location.
+
+With business laptops and many kinds of branded desktops, it's still possible to open it up, and physically disconnect (or even remove in many cases) all the unwanted components, unless they're soldered on to the motherboard, which is a rant I'm planning on writing next time.\
+This is even easier with gaming desktops, because they're not there to begin with, and if they are, it's a matter of opening one side of the box, and disconnecting it.
+
+## Solutions
+
+Impossible with smartphones, tablets, and consumer laptops, although the [PinePhone](https://www.pine64.org/pinephonepro/) does have hardware kill switches to turn them all off (except for NFC, because it's only available as an addon), but Linux phones are still far from ready for most phone users, and will probably take a decade or 2 before they are.
+
+In the laptop space, the [Framework](https://web.archive.org/web/20220710184651/https://frame.work/) laptops are especially interesting, as it's explicitely designed to allow you to repair it like a gaming desktop.\
+However, their websoyte is [Cuckflare](/glossary#cuckflare)d, so I'm unable to buy their product.\
+Also good to know, the Framework laptop isn't necessarily advertised as a privacy laptop (which is probably why it's Cuckflared?), but it does give you the power of making it private.
+
+Another development I'm on the lookout for is the [RISC-V](https://riscv.org/) architecture, which unlike Intel, AMD, and ARM are actually free hardware alternatives.\
+Though there's currently no consoomer ready hardware that has a RISC-V processor as of yet, and it's still insanely difficult to get your hands on one too.
+
+And if you need something that's easily available, you can still get a 2nd hand ThinkPad, anything X270 or older is good, anything X220 or older is better, X200 is the FOSS community's favorite, and best are the IBM branded ones (so before Lenovo took over the ThinkPad brand).\
+They're not private by default, but you can still easily open them up, remove all the unwanted hardware, have an Ethernet port (which is superior over WiFi in everything except for mobility), and so on.

+title: Hosting on the clearnet is like having a boot stamping on your neck

+Picking the right VPS providers in current year is hard.\
+It really seems like we're getting a boot stamping on our necks wherever we go, because it's either VPS companies in bed with the New World Order commies, or the so-called "resistance" (right-leaning) that is hiding behind Cuckflare, which is provided to you by the NWO glowniggers, and the opposite side of the so-called "resistance" (left-leaning) welcomes NWO policies (especially the idpol police state ones) with open arms, which guarantees censorship and deplatforming for whatever reason they want.
+
+Having a static IP and hosting Raspberry Pi servers at home seems to be the best form of mitigation for the clearnet, but then again you're doxing your location to the entire world.\
+Well, if you get a static IP from a service like Interlink (a Japanese company), they'll ASSign the IP location to a random datacenter they own somewhere within Japan (they have multiple), but if you go through your ISP directly, they might either be extremely expensive or outright not allow it, and they WILL ASSign it to your real location (or at least close to it).\
+Also, every single ISP (at least here in Japan) is a WEF memeber, and finding one that's not is like finding a unicorn somewhere on the other side of the rainbow.
+
+Good thing we still have the darknet (Tor and I2P), so no matter how hostile your ISP is, there's nothing they can do about it, you host your shit on physical metal at home at no cost, and you don't need to worry about whether your location is known to literally everyone and their mothers.
+
+The only reason why this website is on the clearnet currently is because my darknet server is currently down, and I won't be able to fix it until after summer.\
+But once my darknet servers are up, I'll probably keep this clearnet domain as a backup, but the main focus will return to the darknet again.
