I had to dispute credit card charges with them and disable the card because I couldn't get a way to stop service. You tried harder than I did, which felt too hard
I'm not sure how many actually use teleprompters, because it regularly bothers me how many public figures are staring at their notes on the podium throughout their speeches.
Mind you, I grew up in the handful-of-index-cards-and-memorise-the-damn-speech era.
I am the author of the article. I have put a quick prototype to see how a game like this could be played from the web. And it is certainly possible. I used "ttyd" as a bridge from a shell program and show the output through websockets with apache. You can check the code in https://github.com/vejeta/conquer-web.
The game is playable through the web, with the original curses interface, you can login with your nation and play, but I want the experiment to be more "curated" by providing a proper login system, to avoid any kind of attack, although the process running conquer is in an isolated docker container. Also I want to provide the help system in the web, so people can learn to play without having to login into conquer first.
I will make it free, or anyone will be able to host their own instance. If you want to tinker, what I have it is already in https://github.com/vejeta/conquer-web
The opposite, from what I read in that page, they provide instructions to connect from the shell.
Conquer-web looks for avoiding the "problem" to connect to a server with putty/telnet or ssh through a terminal. You can just connect from the web.
I can´t provide a URL to try, because I want to provide some security measures, and create a proper world, before opening something like this, but the code is there.
I understand well how it works. I agree this is not possible today’s code base but that limitation is due to a design choice. It’s due to a policy decision that the privacy of children who have been sexually exploited is not as important as the privacy of others (including the privacy of people who sexually exploit children). It’s not a technical limitation. It’s a flaw.
Specifically, it would be easy to add code to hsdir functionality to deny requests for onion sites that are known to be related to csam. Those sites could be announced by the DAs as part of the consensus file, for example. The Tor Project currently lets exit nodes filter by IP address as long as they announce that in their config; this new functionality is of the same kind in the abstract. This change would not be a backdoor. It’s not going to weaken the privacy of anyone using Tor.
The current setup is an extremist position that children who have been abused are not deserving of privacy. It’s a position that all information deserves to be free even if that information is very clearly harmful to others and has no positive benefit to society. One can have that opinion but you won’t find many (outside of this thread) that agree.
Clickbait title is usually a good indicator of clickbait content.
I see in the comments that the author is an academic, my cursory look of the site makes me disappointed to see such weak rigor applied here. This looks like a hit piece dressed up to sound scary. Not going to waste my time further on its claims when on the surface its given me this impression. Strikes me as yelling and not listening type of personality.
Just checked with the team (I used to be involved), and apparently the reason is that Tor's policy is too short for the algorithm that turns policy annotations into a grade.
(This also kickstarted a discussion that maybe that warrants a change to the algorithm, so maybe later more.)
I propose that it should use a Baysian prior where the background knowledge is assumed to be an A.
While it may be true that most ToS are onerous, suppose we look at a ToS document as a collection of terms of service. It's only the terms of service that cause a removal of rights that would otherwise be assumed. The more terms there are, and the more onerous each one is, the more rights can be removed. But before there are any terms, no rights are removed, so that situation should be an A. Diminished from there, depending on how many terms there are, and each one's onerousness.
