I’d be careful yknow, I hear they hired Barry Zuckercorn

Didn’t realize the device in my pocket was google’s

Yeah I don’t get the hate, people soliciting sexual material that you then provide makes you a prostitute. Nothing wrong with prostitution but if somehow I get on a cam and encourage Bob to come on my command yet still not be considered one, then neither is Remy Lacroix

Internet be neurotic

Conflict? A good image is a good image regardless of its provenance. And yes 2020s era 4chan was pretty much glowboy central, one look at the top posts by country of origin said as much. It arguably wasn’t worth bothering with since 2015

That is the point at which you remind them they are focusing on the worst R and remind them of the other two which are much more ppwerful

Interesting to compare aluminium recycling with plastic recycling

When the true aim is to recycle material, industry comes to the party and you get a refund scheme, even purpose built deposit facilities that can be set up locally

When the aim is to misdirect public attention toward a non solution you get government mandated plastics recycling bins and penalties for “contamination” plus never ending messaging (gotta keep the lie alive with constant repetition lmaooo). Coercion is just a lowkey admission that the material isn’t worth recycling

The real question isn’t how to get the plastics industry to change, it’s how to make the ruse no longer a tenable position for governments

None of that counts for anything unless the technologies can be independently developed and controlled by individuals and networks of people

let commercial implementation and intent be as opaque as it wants provided people aren’t required to interact with it

it’s the anonymity that empowers people to say the absolute worst things.

humans behave badly when they perceive they have social license to do so. anonymity has little to do with it

• exhibit A: public robberies of German Jews in the 1930s
• exhibit B: rwandan genocide
• exhibit C: any public confrontation video shot during the Covid pandemic

your second paragraph makes you sound like Larry Ellison. all you’re arguing for is the extension of the capacity of corporations to constrain and coerce invidiual behaviour, which is gross

I’ve been doing what’s in the guide for several years but its good to see a well structured and well presented resource like this anyway.

Theyve convinced normie that his valuable resources are valueless, and absent a better role model that won’t change (he’s not the type who thinks from first principles)

The 1.17.8 flatpak onward doesn’t even work. Every IFO I give it comes back with ‘can’t read lol’ - it used to work flawlessly for remuxes

IF YOU DIDN’T PHONE HOME I WOULDN’T NEED A PRIVACY POLICY

But it is secure. Secure against you the genpop end user from being able to keep secrets or pursue interests that may not align with the government’s interests

Look at salt typhoon. The fact that 3P actors can use the exploit/bdoor too only matters to Gov to the extent that those actors can threaten its own interests by using it. Aka fuck the end user

Turning the clear web into a wasteland of corp/gov service portals one investigation at a time

that’s the point, to secure itself against $enemy-nation the state will first secure itself against the citizenry, by having a way of compromising citizens security on demand

ultimately governnment only cares that IT can exploit the mechanism, not that other actors cannot do so via the same mechanism

strip away all the obfuscation layers (there are so many lol) and thats pretty much the extent of the thought process of natsec orgs. you’re the threat. its an utterly retarded mind virus thats infected them we can all agree, but from an individual’s standpoint we can only protest and hope to shame the policymakers into a constructive course of action

Skinks are cool but they don’t beat the olm

wouldn’t profilers simply track via the domain tld instead of the whole address…shopping1 at uniquedomain, bank2 at uniquedomain , etc

and in the case of aliasing, couldnt a domain provider tell where the aliases rout to and sell that info as a side earner?

I use the free tier of a non-M/G email provider, and keep my use of email to a minimum. I would happily pay for it in cash but I haven’t found that provider yet, and Stripe hates prepaid cards. A lot of discretionary shopping is done in cash

Credentials are local and employ entries from a custom dictionary I made with vocab that combines multiple languages with randomized and inconsistently applied letter substitutions, to which a random string is added (it’s probably no more secure than a random string alone but I enjoyed getting some sed XP, sue me)

Certain browsing habits and needs have their own browser profile. I used to attempt user agent obfuscation but further reading suggests spoof attempts are trivial to detect by even crude scripts

The one layer that never gets enough study is hardware and software compartmentalization. The demand for sync everywhere always is itself a threat vector

The DOGE is doing a better job teaching people about the value (and problems) of data custodianship than the EFF at this rate
