Ah the two genders, male and political

And it's not like I'm Jewish or a leftist; surely the brownshirt leopards won't eat my face

I actually don't know much about him except that he's now the Führleader of the SD and supposedly a "moderate."

The problem I have with conservatives claiming to be moderates is that even the ones who believe murdering minorities and leftists is a legitimate political platform think that they're "moderates". Must be something to do with conservatives being spineless fucks.

dactylotheca OP ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

That's certainly a way to read this I suppose

dactylotheca OP ,

Could be, the time does look approximately right since it's from 26.6.

Frankly it's hilarious how people especially on the more, er… fringe side of the leftist spectrum seem to think that the CIA is behind everything. Feels like for some people spilling their coffee means that it happened because the CIA made the floor slippery. Also every time a country like eg. Ukraine decides they'd very much like to not have a brutal Russian-controlled puppet government, or there's anything even resembling a coup in South America, it's somehow the CIA's doing.

And no, I'm not saying the CIA hasn't ever done anything nefarious or won't do so in the future; they've definitely done a lot of nasty shit in their time, but they also tended to overstate their own importance and success a lot.

According to conservatives "politics" is apparently only something the nasty evil Others™ do, just like everything everybody else does that they don't like is "ideology".

I saw a gAmEr complaining about all the woke things in Starfield, and he listed things like "unattractive females" and "accents".

So yeah, if feeeeeeemale in my vidya no make pp hard = WOKE POLITICS. Also if foreign people in my vidya = WOKE IDEOLOGICAL PANDERING

Who are you protecting your privacy against here?

Because if it's Google, then why on earth would you want to upload content to YouTube in the first place?

OK, let's say you didn't give them your phone number and masked your voice. If you're not connecting over a VPN or something like Tor, they still have your IP address.

OK, you now use a VPN, but your browser can still be very effectively fingerprinted and that fingerprint could be nearly unique.

And so on and so on. And this isn't even going into metadata in & about your video files that could be used to fingerprint the system they were done on.

If you want to protect your privacy against viewers of your videos, how you upload them to YouTube makes more or less no difference. With this scenario the question is how much information are you leaking in your content, and that'd cover everything from writing style idiosyncracies to anything that can be used to potentially identify eg. where you live and so on.

If you're worried about "malicious hackers", then the question is who are these potential hackers you're protecting against? Would they be attacking Google or you? If it's you, then how you upload things to YT is again completely meaningless. If they're attacking Google and get far enough to actually exfil data, what they'd actually be able to get out of it is anybody's guess. Using a VPN and a throwaway email is probably good enough in any case.

Supreme Court weakens federal regulators with Chevron overturning, threatening net neutrality, right to repair, big tech regulation, and more (www.theverge.com)

The downfall of Chevron deference could completely change the ways courts review net neutrality, according to Bloomberg Intelligence’s Matt Schettenhelm. “The FCC’s 2024 effort to reinstitute federal broadband regulation is the latest chapter in a long-running regulatory saga, yet we think the demise of deference will...

The first time I saw a headline about this, just saying that the Supreme Court overturned "the Chevron doctrine" my initial thought was that I have no idea wtf they did but if the votes went 6-3 I know it can't be anything good.

Much to my consternation I appear to have been right.

Your only mistake was naïveté to cannibalism.

and internet still works... Mostly

That load-bearing "mostly" is doing a lot of work here.

I invite everybody to find out how everything "mostly" works if you disable "most of" javascript – also have fun deciding which parts to enable because you think they're trustworthy

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

You're still trusting that the 1st party javascript won't be vulnerable to supply chain attacks, though

"hilariouschaos" is a great name for an instance where the content for the most part isn't hilarious, and is mainly chaotic in the "lol im so randum" sense

Souls-likes are pretty much the antithesis of what I personally enjoy in games. They seem stressful as fuck and my capacity for handling more stress is currently somewhere near zero

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Oh trust me, I know myself. I really haven't had the energy to play challenging games in a while now, so games like Cloudpunk, Sable, Lightyear Frontier, The Invincible, etc etc have been right up my alley. Anything I don't have to grind, I have enough of that in my life as it is

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

That's a good tip. I keep hearing lots of positive things about the story and the world, so it'd be fun to check it out for myself

And "Chat Control" isn't even the only thing like this in the pipeline. There's the so-called "security by design" bullshit (which does the opposite of what then name implies) that's actually even worse than Chat Control and has also been worked on in secret, and which'd include mass scale surveillance of not just photos but pretty much everything, and is much more likely to pass than Chat Control.

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Yep, and as I pointed out in another comment in this thread, Chat Control isn't the only piece of legislation like this that's in the works.

Considering that the extreme right just won big, I have no doubt that one of these fascist surveillance packages will go through. Yeah, at first it may be used for catching criminals, until it isn't

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Doesn't change who's in charge now

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Yep, no disagreement there. This sort of mass surveillance is a fucking terrible idea no matter who's behind the wheel

dactylotheca ,
@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

Ha, fuckin' touché

@dactylotheca@suppo.fi avatar

I don't quite understand your question. Yes, to share something with someone else, that someone needs to know what you want to share with them and where to get it from – I'm not sure what you envision the alternative is

That has nothing to do with anonymity, though
