They often do different things.

Privacy badger, ublock, https everywhere are just required tools.

Just things that can be correlated. Time, device, network, accounts, and apps all correlate. Precise location, device sensors, etc also correlate.

You have to decide what you want security or privacy against, then you have to be mindful always.

Every internet connection is a fingerprint.

E.g. The second you use that device on an VPN all your apps phoning home, checking notifications, logging events, etc. collapse your profile and deanonymize your anonymous activity.

So I actually use a dedicated device for anything I want a VPN on.

Opsec almost requires that you need a public device for your regular use, and a secondary device with limited scope, third party OS for higher privacy for anything you actually don’t want to share.

It’s safer to tunnel specific whitelisted connections through a VPN than whole device VPN for that reason (the less traffic goes to VPN the better). iOS VPN doesn’t work for that reason.

If you want VPN security, the best way is to run a container with only VPN networking, then a second container with the service you want protected and route all networking through the VPN container.

Also, say no to Chrome based apps looking for devices on your network. That uniquely fingerprints you across tons of surfaces.

They say it’s for chrome cast or something but it’s too much info to share.

Hey I’ve been in that room! I don’t get it, I can’t live with that for of thing. And this is why I only have like 2 or 3 extensions (all ad blockers).

Execs love this shit. I only had one exec who pushed not to do that or open Pandora’s box.

He made a ton of cash, cashed out, and retired at 30 something. Awesome dude, I miss working under him.

I studied data mining (now machine learning) and statistics.

I’ve spent my career explicitly NOT plying my knowledge this way. I don’t know how people do it.

I’d say my deep knowledge on how to track people has made me pretty averse to a lot of online things.

You know you can build marketing attribution systems and advertising metrics without violating user privacy.

But advertisers really like the idea of invading privacy and they pay out the nose for it.

It depends. 10 is okay. 15 is usually fine.

14 minutes has a 50/50 chance of being 40 minutes.

A lot of fast food places offer coupons only in the app.

I used to go in to pick up the coupon books or they’d get sent to my mailbox.

RIP “2 can dine for $6.99”

FYI in statistical language “almost certainly” means with probability 1.

100% probability.

The math of measure theory allows for such an outcome to happen, just with immeasurably small chance.

Does anyone care about stars?

Openclaw is the most starred repo in years (i wonder why) and is incredibly niche.

Stars are kind of a scam.

No, I’ll have to check it out, thanks

I probably have enough time to do a single play through before this releases, this game took me so long the first time!

I find the controls for Witcher 3 are key bad looking back (just stuff like Gerald’s movement kinematics and the response times)

So hopefully if they do this they can just do a bit of a polish pass too.

Physical results distraction? Distraction from the “Iran deal” falling through? Distraction from the Iran War failures? Distraction from the Epstein Files?

I think that would cannibalize labour from the coal mines.

We could do the elderly though.

I really thought today would be the day guys

I guess I just need to invest more into AI. What if we took the funding for hospitals and converted them into diesel generators to power more chips bought for well above cost?

It should be fraud for the title to directly say the opposite of the article.

I get they also asked a bunch of charities and trade groups… but why?

This is like winning a small fight and continuing to march on to Moscow on the winter.

They’ll keep whittling rights down until everything you do is logged with your ID and is whitelisted for your consumption (and I mean whitelisted by rich white list of folks who have the power).

Anything LGBTQ will be blocked as controversial. And teaching they don’t like will be hidden. Was slavery bad? “Well, that’s controversial. The Europeans did nothing but civilize those savages don’t you know! And our wealth justifies the whole thing!”

That’s awful, why are some people like this?

To be fair he’s also been trying to make an AI version of himself.

The idea is a less atrocious if you don’t have to worry about any of your needs being met. But even then, there’s a huge difference between “I recorded myself doing X” and “we’re going to watch everything you say or do and hopefully put you out of a job with it”.

Technically it was a mastodon clone
