This isn't going to stop unless massive societal changes are driven overnight.

In other words, it isn't going to stop.

Just wait until Climate Change actually starts impacting rich people, you can bet your ass they'll turn all of us to the streets to save themselves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Dude. If it'd be impacting the rich, you would be far long gone and forgotten in a flood/freeze/famine/whatever when they start feeling slightly uncomfy.

They just go build super bunkers in Hawaii

Welcome to the land of the free, you are free to die of hunger in the streets and no one will give a flying fuck.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's patently false. Lots of cities are making it illegal to be homeless in public spaces like streets and parks.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Ok then you are free to die of hunger if you are homeless but don't do it in a public place.. good..

What's the point of that rethoric? If you didn't see someone homeless dying of hunger in a public place like streets then the problem it's solved and people like that didn't exist?

Welcome to the land of the free..

What's the point of that rethoric?

It's black humor.

He's pointing out that lots of people don't seem to have a problem with homeless people dying. They just have a problem with homeless people dying visibly in the streets instead of invisibly somewhere else. Or, even worse, actually addressing the causes of homelessness like building enough housing so the rent isn't too damn high.

It looks like you think they’re disagreeing with your point, but they are jokingly disagreeing with your scope.

You were like “i think it’s bad and bad and people in charge don’t care that it’s bad”. They were like “i think it’s horrible because the people in charge just want to make it worse.”

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah I understand the black humor, what I didn't understand it's the rethoric of it, I mean what's the whole point into letting people die of hunger but stopping them of being seen? A whole non-sense fascist rethoric?

Edit: IDK if it's just me but it's something evilish don't you believe?

I would personally suggest ghostarchive or archive.org over archive.is. They purposefully poison their DNS responses to Cloudflare, because they disagree with how Cloudflare handles DNS.

So if you're like me and use Cloudflare for DNS, you can't actually access any archive.is sites because they purposefully break the DNS response to Cloudflare.

From Cloudflare's CEO via HackerNews: (Added emphasis is my own)

We don’t block archive.is or any other domain via 1.1.1.1. Doing so, we believe, would violate the integrity of DNS and the privacy and security promises we made to our users when we launched the service.

Archive.is’s authoritative DNS servers return bad results to 1.1.1.1 when we query them. I’ve proposed we just fix it on our end but our team, quite rightly, said that too would violate the integrity of DNS and the privacy and security promises we made to our users when we launched the service.

The archive.is owner has explained that he returns bad results to us because we don’t pass along the EDNS subnet information. This information leaks information about a requester’s IP and, in turn, sacrifices the privacy of users. This is especially problematic as we work to encrypt more DNS traffic since the request from Resolver to Authoritative DNS is typically unencrypted. We’re aware of real world examples where nationstate actors have monitored EDNS subnet information to track individuals, which was part of the motivation for the privacy and security policies of 1.1.1.1.

EDNS IP subsets can be used to better geolocate responses for services that use DNS-based load balancing. However, 1.1.1.1 is delivered across Cloudflare’s entire network that today spans 180 cities. We publish the geolocation information of the IPs that we query from. That allows any network with less density than we have to properly return DNS-targeted results. For a relatively small operator like archive.is, there would be no loss in geo load balancing fidelity relying on the location of the Cloudflare PoP in lieu of EDNS IP subnets.

We are working with the small number of networks with a higher network/ISP density than Cloudflare (e.g., Netflix, Facebook, Google/YouTube) to come up with an EDNS IP Subnet alternative that gets them the information they need for geolocation targeting without risking user privacy and security. Those conversations have been productive and are ongoing. If archive.is has suggestions along these lines, we’d be happy to consider them.

I personally think archive.is is being pretty childish here, and returning bad results on purpose is about as petty as you can get. Anyone who returns bad results because of personal opinions shouldn't be in charge of anything online, in my opinion. It's a pretty deep break from a functioning fucking internet.

thats almost 0.0004% of the entire State's population!

That's an awful number of people without shelter.
