Ha, these articles always use xss.as instead of exploit.in, despite the latter being vastly more popular and appropriate, because exploit.in charges $100 for membership.

I sympathize because, who wants to shell out $100. But even big name news outlets all use xss.in, you see it everywhere, precisely because it's free and anyone can join. Nothing wrong with using it really, just something amusing I've noticed

IRL this is called binding arbitration, and it's often opt-out for your ISP and cellphone provider. Most companies prefer this, as it's faster and more efficient than the judicial system.

It's a bit more specific than just being "faster" and "more efficient". There's two main advantages: First, waiver of class-action rights. This is a big deal because there's a cottage industry of enterprising lawyers who do find a couple main plaintiffs, generate a suit on behalf of a large class against a deep-pocketed defendant, and settle for something around a dollar per class member plus millions in legal fees.…

A fourth reason corporations favor them over the courts: The proceedings and outcomes are not in the public record.

Do yourself a favor and demystify the dark web for yourself. Some of the best information is exclusively nestled in forums and marketplaces over there. If you rely on an incentive model of being caught in order to behave, something darknet doesnt offer, that says more about you than anyone else.

If I have a brown name won’t I just be screwing myself visiting the dark web

I know the theoretically most privileged people in the US that are afraid of googling the tor browser for download

Its completely diluted, just assume all the “dark scary web” rhetoric is a psyop perpetuated the intelligence agencies themselves

If you try to use your browser's standard right-click Pinterest intercepts and gives you the option to Save (to Pinterest), open link (the very one you are viewing) in a new tab, see more ideas about education (on Pinterest!), see more from renee ma (on Pinterest!), or login or sign up for Pinterest. If you click on the image, which is a link, it gives you a sign-in form. Sure, the three dots are there to click; but…

Any time a page does something stupid when you right–click, try it again while holding down shift.

Thanks for bringing that up. They've also hi-jacked that by making sure you can't hover over the actual img.

This just shows that people naturally gravitate toward a system of social harmony and the rule of law, as it lets you reasonably adjust your behavior, as the expectations are formalized, and everyone else is assumed to be abiding by them. The irony is that real world is increasingly moving away from that, toward the "everyone for themselves, nothing matters" chaos.

People have been saying that for hundreds of years. We tend to romanticize the past.

Incorrect. In places where there is a policing mechanism they moderate their behavior, and so do less harmful things . Where there is not, they do not have to. > into a benign technology It’s not benign. It’s unpoliced, so sociopaths have no disincentives.

How would you like people that aren't sociopaths to behave there differently? Be more self sufficient? Not believe everything written on the internet? This is a thread about an arbitration court what do you think people need to browse onion services? Is there any specific PSA in your post?

This isn’t about telling people to behave. It’s about not misleading them.

> If you rely on an incentive model of being caught in order to behave, something darknet doesnt offer, that says more about you than anyone else

I’d like people to recognize that this statement of yours is bullshit.

The Darkweb’s lack of incentive not to misbehace conditions what it is used for and who frequents it.

People can use this information as they see fit.

But if you hit the 3 dots it literally says "download image", and it's full size...

Does this shift holding send electric shocks to the fingers of the person linking to pinterest?
