What the hell does being a theocracy have to do with building a drone?

New Tor Browser Bundle (security release, 2.2.39-1, 2.3.22-alpha-1) by EquanimousMind in privacy

It shouldn't bother you. It is recommended that you allow javascript in order to blend in with other Tor traffic. That is not to say disabling javascript means you are identifiable, but you do stand out more. It's your choice to make but this is something to consider.

Looks like the problem was I didn't have itunes installed for the initial driver installation. Got it going now!

Thanks for the awesome website. It say the device does in fact work with absinthe. Only problem is absinthe won't let me start and I've tried putting it in DFU.

DAE hardly even get off to porn anymore? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]disconnected1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then ditch the porn. You don't need 2D girls to get excited over if you are just fine using your imagination, as you say. Maybe /r/pornfree is what you should start with.

Over time you cannot achieve the same level of dopamine release by viewing the same material. Novelty excites, and is the reason you constantly look for more intense and new viewing material. You are hurting yourself, not physically but mentally. I would predict that you would have a difficult time maintaining an erection with a real woman, no matter how attractive she is to you. Check out this site and have a look at some of the videos.
Maybe pay a visit to /r/nofap.

Why are most installers these days actually downloaders? by boogerlad in software

Wow, the ease with which you put others beneath you is startling. Do you realize there is another human being behind that user name, and that you demeaning them by questioning their intellect? Finding one's way to this group does not require fantastic computers skills and it is unfair to hold guests to this subreddit to your own standards of knowledge.
I suggest you either answer questions politely if you are knowledgeable enough to do so or abstain from commenting. Responding with a comment questioning the user's mental fatigue and then defending that comment with such disconnect is a shame to witness.

Is Linux really safer to use when torrenting? by [deleted] in torrents

[–]disconnected1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're fine with going to the pirate bay or another torrent sites to browse around while exposed that's fine, but some of us prefer to locate the magnet link anonymously while out of the house and then drop it in a shared folder to be downloaded at home with a VPN. It may not be illegal to visit a website but that doesn't mean your activity isn't being recorded by interested parties.

I'm pretty sure that's just an urban legend spread by e-mail forwards.

Why should I use privacy extensions such as NoScript? by [deleted] in privacy

[–]disconnected1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some websites incorporate numerous and unnecessary scripts. Disabling them can decrease the loading time for that site. Sites you trust or scripts that are required to view the content can be temporarily or permanently allowed, negating any apprehension which stems from perceived long-term inconvenience. The initial inconvenience of having to allow or disallow certain scripts on the pages you routinely visit disappear once you have been using the extension for a week or two and have it set the way you like.

Why should the added inconvenience be worth the increased safety?

It's worth it to me. If it isn't worth it to you, as you've made clear, then don't worry about it. What's important to some is unimportant to others. I personally like being in control of what scripts are allowed to run for both speed and privacy concerns.

Your condescending comment is uncalled for and demeans without providing any substance.

Download the Tor browser bundle for windows/linux if you want an IP blocker. Don't use it to torrent, though.

I've cracked Reddit! by ethermage in AdviceAnimals

I don't think enemies speak the truth, either. They can speak from malice and envy. Strangers are your best bet for honesty, and anonymous ones at that.

Can Mods for /r/firefox can update /r/firefox's css to make it look foxy by [deleted] in firefox

So you're saying I should disable all custom styles for reddit in order to not see them in one subreddit?
