I love this mob, but finding out they do all their organization through Google groups was disappointing

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

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

Skinks are cool but they don’t beat the olm

Rule of Acquisition #3: Never spend more on an acquisition than you have to

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

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

A firearm isn’t worth much money in the scheme of things either its real worth is in publicly displaying it on your person, and having it loaded

the point I did a poor effort getting across was that obama shouldn’t be thought of as a leader with his move. like all politicians he follows crowds, elbows his way to the front and gets mistaken for an originator of ideas. Many of them are as bad as movie stars in their pathologic need to be seen and heard, even after they’ve left office

I will never understand the fitness metrics craze…I don’t want my health maintenance to be more systematized than observing two or three core principles and letting the rest sort itself out

Can’t show you the old stuff, if we show you the old stuff you wont watch the new stuff

dude what

The politicians represent you in a representative democracy, the whole point of their office is to be open to persuasion. I would be looking at that group’s effective network building and asking where are the groups representing my concerns/aspirations with such effectiveness

I hope all aussies don’t share your mindset, otherwise it’s a lost country
