  • It’s more like some people saw an opportunity in selling China-style online censorship to other governments. They just needed convincing stories to sell.

    Stories of children being groomed with internet porn and calling for mass censorship. Stories of the stars of internet porn regretting it and calling for mass censorship. Stories of terror attacks being organized on the internet. Stories of awful chatrooms.

    So now anyone wanting to oppose your censorship is a nazi islamist pedophile jerking off to CSAM in their mother’s basement.

    And it won’t end with banning the most disgusting and gory lolicon hentai. It won’t even stop with banning porn. It will end with things being banned because some Trump, Orbán, Putin-class dictator didn’t like it, and the chatbot spat out some reasonable sounding argument that supported it beyond “the glorious leader didn’t like this”.

They all die at the very root, and I have the third one dying on me. Unrepairable due to it being cast into some plastic. All “cable-free” converters are passive only, and I have to buy these DACs from an online store, as the local electronics store now only carries super cheap wireless (about as cheap as a proper wired, but godawful of course) ones.

Since building a time machine that would bring me back in time to stop the publication of the art that inspired wireless earbuds (it was some cyborg anime girl listening to music on earbuds without wires, at least the super-thin and transparent smartphone is far away), I thought I’d add some proper cable strain relief to one of these converters.
