https://freenet.org/

The centralization of the internet poses a fundamental threat to individual freedom. In 2024, a few corporations control most internet services and infrastructure. These corporations wield immense power over most of us with little accountability, enabling them to censor content, exploit our data, and exclude users from services they depend on —all with profound implications for democracy. We need a solution urgently.

Introducing Freenet — a decentralized replacement for the world wide web. Acting as a global, shared, decentralized computing platform, Freenet can either be accessed via a standard web browser or integrated into third-party applications.

A top-secret US submarine prototype weapon called “Manta Ray” has been spotted by eagle-eyed Google Maps users and remains plainly visible to the internet public.

Satellite photos showing the “Star Wars”-looking vessel docked at Port Hueneme naval base in California went viral Sunday, its unmistakable profile standing out in stark contrast to its dockmates.

A new seemingly legit guy claims to have invented electrostatic propellant less propulsion for spacecraft. His patent mentions TT Brown and many predecessors.     (youtu.be)

His patent

https://patents.google.com/patent/US11511891B2/en

At least in the state of the art explanation in this patent he does go over in detail most of the predecessors that most of the other people in this field fail to mention like TT Brown JL naughton and many others. So he at least knows the previous work. I don't like how it's patent uses such broad languages to be almost all encompassing which seems to like be like it would be disallowed from previous patents and technologies that have been demonstrated and from what I'm reading the patent he doesn't go into detail about how his device works with non-ion wind or nor does he discuss the fact that TT Brown had his operating in a vacuum and several others have shown electrostatic stuff operating in a vacuum. But in any case it's another one and he seems like he's with a somewhat legit organization. You know he's not a guy in his garage although guys in their garage in this area have made huge advances including jl naughdon.

You can revert it (for now) by searching "proton" within about:config and setting them all to false. Just remember that Firefox's default settings are kiked so make sure you're on LibreWolf.

Bitcoin millionaire Erik Finman answers critics from Left & Right calling Freedom Phone a "scam".

July 20, 2021

Since Freedom Phone’s announcement and launch last Wednesday, promising a product free of Big Tech censorship and surveillance, the company has garnered universal criticism from the left and some criticism from the right (notably Reason Magazine’s notoriously Pro-Big-Tech Robby Soave).

Freedom Phone’s Founder Erik Finman agreed to an extensive interview with National File to respond to those who call the venture a “grift” or “scam”.
